I got a 300ZX back in January (as I posted about before). I knew it was a risk, that there were likely to be issues with it. In the end, I decided to only do the minimal work on it to keep it ticking over as long as possible (fixed some leaks, put some new tyres on it) & enjoy it while it still worked. Well, the other week, on the way up to Shrewsbury (from Cardiff), it gave up on the A49 near Hereford, where it was taken on the back of a lorry to be looked at. The garage has finally been able to take a look at it & it's effectively dead. To do any work on it, even before getting it to a repaired state, is going to be more than I'm prepared to spend on it. It's likely to be a head gasket that's gone. I'm going to have to pay to get it back to Cardiff - but if anyone is interested in a car which can be used for parts, or wants a project, drop me a line.

As well as being new to the Zed, I'm also new to turbo's (used to V8's) and therefore know little about boost controllers.
A few questions
Is the boost pressure controlled from the module, or do you still need to adjust a valve located elsewhere?
Do people slate the seperate boost gauge/boost valve because it's good to have a flash looking gizmo inside their car?
Why are the controller modules so wildly different in price? Is there really a huge amount of gain for paying £200 over the odds of another make?
I just need this basic info so I can assess fully which unit would suit my needs!
