Fitting exhaust downpipes...
you wont need the engine out to fit them or the gearbox removed.

Carputer, amp & cabling
You could use the existing wire for the speakers, but as youre upgrading, its worth replacing considering the low cost http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Speaker-Cable-Wire-Audio-Surround-Sound-Hi-fi-Car-/180467870838?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item2a04b92c76 Dynamat sheets are normally used behind and around each speaker, to stop vibration caused by the speakers. Im soundproofing the whole car with this stuff http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/53-ft2-Car-Audio-Sound-Deadening-Proofing-Sheet-NEW-/380308555187?pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_Car_Speakers_PP&hash=item588c2805b3 Do a google on car sound deadening and look at the images, brings up lots of ideas

JDM indicator bulb link please
Check the fog fuse and relay under the bonnet.

JDM indicator bulb link please
I wouldnt use the led ones unless you fit a load resistor relay or one on each indocator as they will flash faster, due to lack of load that a bulb would give.

looking to buy soon!
Hi Dan, welcome to the club. Theres a couple of N/A's on ebay within your price range and a couple of TT's that need a bit of work, but i would look at having a few quid put by for modding and running costs.

Carputer, amp & cabling
Its a bitumen backed soundproofing material, i bought 52 sqm off ebay for about £40 to do the whole interior http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/53-ft2-Car-Audio-Sound-Deadening-Proofing-Sheet-NEW-/380306684288?pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_Car_Speakers_PP&hash=item588c0b7980 Ths is dynomat http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dynamat-Superlite-Tri-Pak-/170584571614?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27b7a1fede A lot more expensive for what you get lol

Retrim quote
MMMM £200 for what materials? You can get a full leather hide for less than £50 on ebay and might cost about £30 in evo stick contact adhesive, it can take a few hours to get the old tweed and glue off, use the old cloth as a template. The trickiest parts are the door cards and rear panels next to the seat. I totally understand what your saying and he will probably do a great job, i would shop around for a few quotes, but if you can afford it and your mind is made up then go for it. Just remember you can buy the whole interior leather panels already stitched from the zcentre for £300 +vat http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=194&category_id=75&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7

I would lay the dynomat first, if you have a problem with a wire, you wont be able to get to it once buried.

Honestly mate, i would give it a go yourself, for about £40 with materials. If you mess it up then you havent lost much, i think thats a bit ott for just the panels and cards, obviously you wouldnt be stitching anything, i assume your trimmer will be stitching leather and fitting it all?

The most depressing day of the year?
Thanks mate, we didnt see her that often, she was close to my mum, we last saw her in August and looked fit as a fiddle for 70, she went in for an op on her wrist and apparently had a stroke.

plenum and cam cover gaskets
The exhaust cam covers, require sealant as there is no factory gasket, the intake cam covers have rubber gaskets, but still worth using a it of sealant, depending on condition This post should help http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=146108 There is only one gasket for the upper plenum available through MJP forum trader,cheap at the minute, so i would get in there quick, you could ask about the oil cap O ring too.

Headlight bulbs
What adaptors? if you mean for the H1, you already have them lol The H1 bulb is plugged into an adaptor plate with the prongs on the back that the wires are plugged into. Bit fiddly to get the clip released that holds the bulb/adaptor in the light, but nothing major.

Headlight bulbs
If you ground one side of the dip beams they will stay on with the high beams when switched. I did fit some super white H1 bulbs 5K and they looked better, You can only run one bulb per ballast. Take your pick, but try and stick with 55w or you are adding extra load to the system http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=H1+super+white&_sacat=0&_dmpt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&_odkw=H1+super+bright&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
