Well, after the small indent i managed to get after a date with a central reservation barrier that didn't work out too well, and then sorting out the water leak, went and bought a 50 pioneer plasma last night off of ebay, the guy was quite nice and let me go pick it up, even though it was in Thetford, some 79 miles away.

 

Anyway, was a nice drive. loved every minute of it. didn't push it at all, she held her temp, no strange incidents with the rear end or the sudden rev's, in fact she was that nice to drive i didn't want to get out once i had got to the guys house. anyway, lowered the back seats, and slotted the 50" in, just laid it on top of a quilt i took with me, adjusted the drivers and passenger seat back so it clamped the screen to stop it moving. and drove all the way home. well both me the car and the plasma arrived back home at 2 am of a very nice night drive. have to say when I'm driving it. all the troubles with her disappear and leaves me with no doubt that i love the 300xz,

 

So there ya go, you can transport a delicate item in the back of 300zx even with stiffened suspension and make it home with out breaking anything.

you wouldn't believe me if i told you, lol

 

Daffy, i have a 2001 model JVC 42" plasma, I've always transported it flat. and its still going. works wonderfully no screen burn or anything like that. not only that, when they make them the screens are conveyored along flat until its mounted to the front plate and glass, then they turn up vertically so they can then attach the PCB's so cant see a difference between the screen being conveyed along and me transporting it.

 

its a myth, just like plasmas don't last as long as LCD's that is also a myth.

I wasn't having a pop dude, just thought it was the norm. Glad it got home safe. Enjoy.
