Autobox not going into 3rd gear
Sounds like the dreaded 3rd gear autobox death syndrome to me. 80% of the times 3rd goes and it's new box time I'm afraid. Ivan

[B]ENGINE BUILDERS OUT THERE WITH EXPERIENCE > 700 BHP?[/B]
I would deffo say go for some cams, ported and polished heads and bigger valves. What have you had done so far and where are the pics of this monster? Ivan

Original style LED rear lights?
They were for sale ages ago. Cant find the link now but they looked like the standard lights in a grey car and top and bottom lenses were both grey. They were about £800 for the pair. I'm sure some of the more 'long serving' members would remember. Ivan

The Story So Far
Yep get some pics up. I know the colour well as I used to work at a TVR dealership. Just can't remember the name of it. Ivan

conversions
Dont think a cossie engine would be torquey enough unless you stripped out a swb. Have seen one with a SR20 fitted. MantaV8 have fitted an old school yank V8 in his. Sounded awesome. TBH there is no common engine conversions unlike the 200 boys. Ivan

Looks very nice. Needs to be 5k or less though with that problem. Ivan

I know Dave. The zed has been off the road since October. Still waiting for Mickey to answer my calls. Has he changed his number. The one I have for him ends in 100. Hows you? Finished your running in yet? Ivan

Radiator
Looks good John. You got any update? Wish I had gone out in your car before you ditched the VG. Others have said it was mental! Ivan

At least he'll be able to see the tops of his instruments with that steering wheel. Ivan

Your very favourite photo of a Z
It would be one of these 2 cars. The blue beet 300 or the signature kitted ones. IMHO the signature is the best front bumper for the 300zx available. Oh yes and they are both LWB's. Ivan

import or UK spec
You're lucky then Quavey. There's a higher percentage of UK cars with leather than jap specs as I believe it was an option. Ivan

Electrical connectors/plugs
As for the electrical connectors pop down to a scrap yard and rob injector connectors off a variety of cars so the colours match , ie Vauxhall are yellow Ford are Black Volvo are grey These all have central alignment ridges , nissan ones have an offset one , you just have to dremel the nissan one off whatever your connecting too and bobs your uncle . The other advantage is these all have a proper hand spring release system so there much easier to use , cost me a couple of pounds to do all mine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's what he said.

Electrical connectors/plugs
You can get some from MJP in the traders section. Do a search under Boldy's name. I think he got a load of connectors from all sorts of cars from a scrapyard. Ivan
-
import or UK spec
Yeah mostly what he ^^^^^ said. If you want leather you'll probably have to have UK spec as I believe it was an option on jap specs. Look for corrosion on rear of the sills and rear arches particularly where it meets the bumper. Ivan

Noisy PAS
Check the fluid first mate. Ivan

Knock sensor
The only problem with this approach is that if you're running upped or stock 9.5psi of boost and you do get DET the ecu will not lower the boost level and you have a higher probability of doing more damage to your engine. Ivan

Standard wheel value
Try to sell them on the sxoc as they are the same fitment as a S14 and any 5 stud converted S13. Ivan

Firing Order on a ZX
Chunk had one fitted to his Skyline but the original wiring must have been dodgy as it always missfired. Ivan

Original style LED rear lights?
Hi guy's and girls. Did anyone get round to sorting the original (or 99 spec) style rear light to work in full LED bars like the horrifically expensive ones from the US? Ivan
