hi all got my first z about 3 weeks ago:D its a j reg jap tt auto, im still trying to figure every thing out, do all 300zx's have folding mirrors (mine dose)? what dose the switch that shows power a/t hold next to the auto stick do? allso are the manual and auto's the same power if not what is done to the engine to produce the extra power? thanks

all jap spec 300's have electric folding mirrors. the switch allows you to hold a gear and when you put your foot down it goes to power mode which lets the car rev a little more before changing gear. the auto has slightly smaller tubs than the manual but the power difference is nothing to worry about. standard auto is just over 260 and manual is 280

cheers thats grate, love your car looks so good in red, a jap ferrari!
