what is the best fuel type in your view for the 300zx tt ?

A couple of pics below taken whilst doing a cambelt change, the water pump is removed and you can see into the water ways, the left hand one has a line of casting flash from when the engine was produced which could potential effect water flow rate. Not a major issue in the real world but this was a very late model and something you see less of on the earlier models, maybe cost cutting as the model came to the end of production? Jeff TT

I have some UK door cards and getting some UK seat belts, i have a jap with the belts on the door. This subject has come about a few times, but i know a few have done it. I realise the holes are there but with no thread, so the top hole, which is the trickiest as there is no room behind the pillar, is the bone of contention.

I was very impressed with their premises and the cutomers that they have which include many big airlines and Jaguar and Land Rover. The workshop is superb and i am confident that they will deliver exactly what i want, once i have decided!
