UPS Import question
USPS will get the item into the U.K. then hold it until you pay the import duty/import tax. Be careful matey, as this is the postal service for the U.S. and it transfers, sometimes, to a U.K. postal service, be it, Royal Mail, Parcelforce, etc.. If you do not get in touch with the correct U.K. postal service, the item will be promptly returned. My advise is to check all U.K. postal websites with your tracking number. It happened to me and is a nightmare. Al.

Massive Thanks to Jimmer!
IMO it does not matter where you live, be it in Scotland, Craig, or in the very south east of uk, it is worth a long drive, and possibly a stay overnight, to let jimmer carry out his magic on your 300. There are only 2 places i would take my beloved zed for work, check-ups, service, etc..... 1. Jimmer , 2. Zedworld. No need to take a risk with people who claim....."I know the 300zx like the back of my hand".... Been there, not a good option. Al.

Single or Dual exhaust ?
I had a single exit "HKS super drager" exhaust, and it looked auwful, single exit is a big no, no.... but, the sound was awesome, an exhaust note from a V6 that i have never heard. I now have a double exit, which looks great, but does not deliver the same sound as the single. Maybe it is the exhaust itself, but, i have to go with my plums and say, single exit sound, dual exit looks. Al.

Important Club Discussion!! Caliper mounting brackets, ARE THEY SAFE?????
Just to add....... I am sure most of you are aware of "robo's 300zx info site", i was in contact with him approx 3 years ago regarding caliper relocation brackets, using 350Z discs, and he put me onto a guy called "Bernie Bilskie", you may know him, and he supplied me a set of brackets and 350Z discs for use with the standard caliper. The bracket was machined from billet aluminium and 350Z track (brembo) discs, which i fitted. The brackets looked well manufactured, but the corner machined radii was very minimal and no specification for aluminium used was given, that was 3 years ago. I have done a track day at Snetterton, many laps at the Nurburgring ring, and still the brackets have withstood very heavy braking. I have warped 3 sets of discs to date, but the brackets are still intake with no cracks evident. I suppose i took a chance, put my balls on the line, with these brackets, and they have been fine. Just a little insight to what i have tried and tested, if you like, on my 300 braking system. Al.

Important Club Discussion!! Caliper mounting brackets, ARE THEY SAFE?????
Ok, i have spoken to my NDT (non destructive testing) guys and their view is, and it is only their view, the bracket is manufactured very well, a good standard of TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding applied, and passed MPI (magnetic particle inspection) with no flaws in the weld. Tensile testing could not be carried out, due to the shape of the bracket. They stated, as many members here, that if the weld was to crack, the bracket would remain in place due to it being a spacer, as said before. The advise offered for future manufacture, was a wider sole plate with the bosses machined to fit into the plate fully with a fillet weld applied as done and a second weld on the base prepped to take a good fusion, only some advise. As an aviation engineer (for over16 years now), and speaking to many of my colleagues, in all departments, i would and will be happy to fit the bracket. Al.
