Looks great but as said above it's pretty much all show and no go. It's very indirect. Put one of those up against a strigt line fighter and I think it wouldn't last too long. But as you say StellaZ, would love to be able to do it but my lengthy martial arts service came to an end in '97 when I had a bad bike accident.

No I just have the standard ones mate, you got a link to a good set and I'll look into it. Thanks

How's this Tony ? (Removed the rear wiper as well as it was easier).

Very nice mate, you picked it up yet from East Ham ?. I'm just round the corner from there, was tempted to take a look at it myself. How much did he let it go for in the end as I noticed the auction finished early or did it run it's full time ?.

I prefer no. 3 but I really love Legrath's choice. that looks very nice indeed.

Lets just say I applied lots and lots of pressure ;)

Update for those interested. ECU now fitted with Doolz Chip for Twin pop and 555's (thanks AndyP will sort you as soon as the car is running as it's working ok). Before and after shots of the upper link arms (hopefullly the end of my camber problems) The Engine almost ready to go back in Mods can you move this is the General Z related section as it's no longer a help and advise, thanks.

Not yet, but once I get mine back and run it in we will have ;)

Maybe this will help, I think it looks better without from behind, but just not sure about the side.

If you don't need the old gear knob you may have to use a oil filter chain to get it off. Mine was glued on with some sort of space glue, rock solid, I think it was instant metal or something.

yup that's the ones. I would have got those myself but they were not avilable when I bought my Greg Dupree manifolds and downpipes.

Just uploaded it to Youtube, not sure how long it will take until they process it but you can check here now and again to see when it's up http://uk.youtube.com/user/stufoo1

TurboXS are cheap and loud. I have a video somewhere of Turboxs on a 300zx and mine (HKS) doing a few tunnel runs to compare the two. I'll see if I can dig it out.

JWT will be quicker spool up, Z1 will be slightly more power. Depends what you want from your car. I went for JWT 530's becuase I wanted really good drivability and quick spool up. you'll have to think about 5 bolt downpipes as well. Mike Smith are the best option for both these tubs at the moment.

I suck at Photo shop, this is the best I could do.

Been thinking about this for some time. I know what I'm goign to do, just interested in what you guys think.

Sorry to hear that mate. Must be hard to break the news to your daughter. I know how you feel I not long ago wrote a post on my bad luck I've had over the last few days. Chin up mate. Hopefully the worst is out of the way now for both of us. I'm still thinking about that Mezze for 6 we had between the two of us (actually that sounds a little strange). Must meet up again soon mate and catch up.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UcQL2Lhtiwg Thought I'd put a vid of my daughter up. Also got our engagement vid up there as well. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7Ijz9K8Q4 Z vid is uploading as we speak. Yes, I'm bored and have been making vids wince my legs in the cast.

you will have to get rid of the rust first before using hammerite.

speak to Danny DTA or Smithy. they will advise and supply if required.

You can get a nice custom car cover for the 300zx, but I can;t remeber where I bought mine from. :(

yeah still get paid no probs there.

No Idea at recovery time yet. Got to have the cast of on Feb 8th for checking at the hospital, then they may put one back on again or just a knee brace depending on what they find. My leg is itching already :( Another bit of bad news, the high winds last night have ripped the felt off my shed roof. No way I can get up there to fix it with a leg in plaster :(

It's getting there very very slowly.
