Yes mate,they used to be different part numbers due to wire lengths but are now sold as the same item.Same for tt and na iirc.

Manual Conversion Adapter Ring
Just chisel it from the side several times mate and it will start to shift trust me.Done these several times this way and never failed.I do have a bearing puller if youd rather user it.can post it down if you like mate with that shipment of liquid gold you wanted :laugh:

remote engine start and turbo timers...advice please.
The oil should already be coated around everything anyway from when you last drove it.Your engine is designed to be driven straight away,its not a formula 1 engine which is nigh on seized then heated to free up.Driving a car is the quickest way to warm the engine,load on the engine increases friction which produces heat.A static engine has very little load and will never warm up to the running temp of a driven one.This will not damage your engine FACT.

average battery drain
No more than 0.3 amps is about right iirc.

remote engine start and turbo timers...advice please.
Start the car,give it a second and pull away,its simple as that.If your using a quality oil it wont be a problem.Cold start is done by the car injecting excess fuel to richen the mixture for the initial start,after this air and fuel are added at increased levels to keep the car running at a higher rpm to increase heat throughout the engine.if your cars stood still it will never use the increased amounts of fuel which then runs down the bores,strips oil off causing wear to the rings.A 300zx which uses the boost solenoids still will NOT allow full boost till the ecu sees the correct running temp.But regardless of that every car makers handbook ive read says the same,start and drive away,do not allow to idle :nono:

remote engine start and turbo timers...advice please.
Remote start is no good for the car,great for 17 year olds in Saxos at Mcdonalds to impress a 15yr old bird.Its not good for any car to be left idling on cold start,ALL car makers ive come across advise to start the car and drive off straight away to reduce engine damage caused by bore washing.

About to embark on an engine swap....
crossmember is dowelled into the chassis legs.Common mis conception that the steering is out after if you dont.
-
Standard exhaust manifold vs Stainless
do not get the stainless ones,They will crack for sure.Look for cast ones.

About to embark on an engine swap....
Lost count of the times ive said this.There is no need to remove the gearbox when taking a 300zx engine out.its no struggle to undo ther top bell housing bolts once the engine is lowered on the crossmember.And DONT leave the altenator,steering and a/c pump on the engine,undo them and leave them behind.Less mess and aggro.

Thats because even they know youll copy their hardwork and pass it off as yer own tut tut :yes:

Gearbox rebuild
Any internal bearing fault will show up in an oil examination.Ive repaired loads of truck/van gear boxes in my time,done some car ones too and if in any doubt the oil never usually lies,expect some silver oil in the bottom but if a large amount of oil looks like silver paint you know its serious.Before you pull it to bits youll need special tools,a zed box is not conventional as the shafts run through a common casing and will need to be pressed out.

Gearbox rebuild
Why do you think the bearings are worn mate?

Wheres the tissues Lol.I remember watching an interview with Walter where he said how dangerous it was driving down lanes at 100mph lined with crowds,the drivers needed physiotherapy between stages as it took such a toll on them.Mental.
