Reliability of Turbo vs v6
There's no need for targa's in Fife! You only need targa's south of the boarder where the sun shines! Leather standard on UK? NO! an option or extra I think they call it now. Forgot about soft tops! Fog lights, Hicas,auto climate control,o/d,headlight washers,folding mirrors,electric seats. No, I dont think I got everything? Arthur

Standard rear spoiler needed urgently!!!
Sorry Matt, a bit vague. I have ordered one off a firm in the midlands. they said it was going to be delivered last Tues then this Tues! Did not want to give you thier number if the spoiler is naf. Mine is a standard one with a crack & bubbles. Im paying £50 for it. So if Marks is offering one at £30 in vgc I would take it. Arthur

NZR: Opinions on a cheap car ...
Andy I have owned Audi & VW passat 17 years. I would say VW estate is a good solid German workhorse & easy to work on with spares available. Just my two penny worth! Arthur

Reliability of Turbo vs v6
Hi Jon See if I can get the ball rolling for you! You could do a search for uk/jap spec or go to http://www.300zx.org.uk. The V6 I think is a reliable engine, easy to upgrade, thats why the guys like um! All UK Z's are TT, Jap ones TT or N/A. UK Z's have larger rear wheels than front. Japs come with generally higher specs. I think all Z's have targa's. There is a SW model too. If u buy an N/A, no I wont go that way! (TT or N/A) Have u driven one? Arthur

The Dreaded Rod Knock!!!
Now that depends on you! Is it a big upgrade job or a normal replacement job! I replaced the whole lot! Got a replacement TT engine from a firm in Hythe Kent who deal in Jap engines. You could do a half engine replacement. If you are doing alot of the work yourself your cost could be halved. Arthur

painting Z front
Yep the badge has two pins at the back. The idea was to replace the front Nissan badge to a Z badged front. I like the Z on the front. With my Z being a uk model it has the nissan logo on the front.

painting Z front
Ok then! Badge is off! The stuff they use is like rubber glue! The primer as most said is white. Great! I will take the RED primer back to Halfords Got my wet & dry sorted, will start soon. Arthur

Conzult
Hi Jay I think you put a Q on Stubb's thread, about splashguards? Yes, they shield the engine & rad underneath, also there are thee parts, drivers/passenger splash guards to. With the Z so low they do get scratched alot! Arthur

The Dreaded Rod Knock!!!
Sorry to see you have an engine problem! I spun a shell last year! U can drop the sump & ave a look. Thats what they did on my Z. I'm no mechanic! There are different ways as you possibly know, of fixing or replacing bits. Half engines are cheap too. Arthur

Hi James did you get my address about the matrix? Thanx for the info on the badge (I like the Z better than NISSAN!) I have seen these metal pins at the back. Will get started with WD40 and scraper. Nigel I like black too! :D

I dont think they would stop you getting a whiplash injury, be it the inertia type or harness type. Just a thought. Arthur

painting Z front
I have just purchased a Black front bit, that front bit between the headlights. The bit with NISSAN or Z on it! My Z is RED doh! Want to a) spray it red, what undercoat colour do I use? b)how do you get the Z badge off the front bit, without braking anything! Arthur
