gas mains
Andy just a word of warning, depending on the location of the main supply, trench should be minimum 780mm deep and 400mm wide x how far you need. add to that you need to be aware of other services, we use a radar detector, picks up electric, water cable, old pipes and any metal. can be a nightmare job, but also a piece of pee. get a price from transco as they will use a worm bore, if they mess it up, they fix it. plus only they can install a new meter. we had a big install recently, with a total of 12 new meters, but running of 2 x new mains, even after all the prep, the guys hit the water once, then the cable tv twice. plus if digging by hand its dam hard work. if you can use a mini digger and its a straight run to the house, then go for it

99 spec bumper fitted.... the differences :)
Daz looks the nuts mate, far better with the 99 spec, your garage is superb, painted, with carpet and skirting boards, and some pics of zeds on the walls. You just need them to have a radiator and a stella fridge. then you reached perfection.:thumbup1:

300zx kit car?
i remember seeing a guy recently join http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?161965-Hi-from-within-earshot-of-Donington could be interesting, also i seem to remember a thread on here a long while back using an escort with a z32 lump. i would love to do an engine swap on a Micra like an S reg, make it rear wheel drive with a TT lump in, just do it up as one of those special edition micras that was produced with a turbo lump in., keep it as a sleeper, just change the wheels, but when you put your foot down...................................gone.

Rotten underneath...
Only way to find out the extent, is remove the rear outer sills, trust me it will show way more. then remove front seats and look under the carpet to the floor. mine was like redwine's but not as bad, just saving more to have the it welded with all new sills, arch's etc. but at least i know its all been removed.

And we have still got a bloody hosepipe ban and a drought. England in the summer time, rain why dont you just do one and fook off Plus one of my targas has decided to leak a bit. NOT HAPPY.......................................

Whats the next step for my Zed?
seems you have enough to push it forward some more, should be looking at late 300 bhp, say around 375, get the engine working spot on with the boost, and then look at upgrading the suspension, and braking. go adjustable and bigger disks. then you can sort the ride height out and stop the dam thing.

how many items lost in a zed engine bay
after reading crash courses how do you do it thread just now, after loosing lots of skin and blood on a zed engine, i have lost tools, that just seem to fall down the sides of the engine never to be seen again. to my memory so far ive lost , 2 x 14mm sockets, a 10mm socket, a small stubby screwdriver, a couple of stanley blades, a det sensor connector and the small plastic black screw from the top of the radiator. they have fallen and been lost down the sides never to be seen again, i can see one of the 14mm sockets, stuck above the turbos but below the manifold. But i have also found a 10mm snap on spanner and a spark plug both under the lower plenium, plus a pair of long nose pliers under the drivers seat main carpet. anyone else lost stuff in the zed?

Good grief - how do you guys do it!
hang on in there mate, once you have done it a few times, it so much easier. just wait till you have to remove the gearbox or engine. that is a whole different animal. time to loose lots of knuckle skin.

Headlights that would be compatible with a 300zx
clean the lenses , they may look clean, but until you take them apart then you will see a layer of fine dust, once done makes a huge difference, then go for HID, and light up the night.

i have got to get some of these................
my sons best mate is 21 today, his sister gets him a lottery scratch card, and puts it in with his birthday card. he opens it up, and gets a coin, and starts scratching away. first row, nothing, second row, nothing, last row scratches of 1 x £50000, then 2 x £50000, then you've guessed it the 3rd £50000. starts going completely bonkers, and screaming, jumping around, literally losing the plot. Only to find out that its all a big FAKE. gotta get some of these for the folks at work. You get 6 in a pack all with £50k winners, they are really good fakes, tear off the others the same way, look and feel like the proper ones, even scratch off the stuff the same. The reaction is priceless lol http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fake-Realistic-Joke-Lottery-Scratch-Cards-Tickets-x-6-/290701612265?pt=UK_Toys_Games_Games&hash=item43af2a94e9#ht_2475wt_1139 set ordered i think.
