Looks great. What panels have been changed on the seat? All of them or just the middle sections? Stuart

Most US ones wont work on the UK as the US uses X band mostly while the UK doesnt use it and uses K and Ka mostly.

Yeah a medal please :D Not for you though as it increases the MASS ;) Not joking it was a heavy bugger. I got it from Ebay. People said it was a crap one, but its does the job and I can feel the difference even with a cheap one. Stuart

I installed a front stut brace today. I dont know what people mean by they dont do anything. Made cornering more responsive, the ride is firmer and it works like a huge heat sink as it gets bloody hot. I'm deffo getting a rear one now. When I can afford it :(

Some people have no idea.

I have not seen the film but I dont think there was a 300ZX in it. However, there is a 300ZX engine sound in there and I think they used it for the Supra. Nothing beats the sound of a V engine. Here are some pics of the recording of the sounds http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=923570 Stuart

:D :D :D Would have been better changing techie to Trekie! ;)

Congratulations :D. Best of health to you all.

No because its not really the wheel that is out of balance, its the tyre. So every time you have new tyres, you will need to machine a different part of the wheel untill you cut all the wheel away.

No not as a subsitute. But you cant change so that 3 cylinders are diesel and 3 are petrol. This should help a little ;)

There is nothing to understand. Every one knows that red is the fastest colour. People with red cars know this and people with other coloured cars know this to but lie about it. Pure jealousy. Stuart

The old trick of pulling your shirt down before your bisept to make it look larger. LOL

Nice one. I wish I could move there.

What you going to N.Z. for? Change? Job? Being nosey here ;)

Sorry you had to let your Z go. Why you going to NZ? You can import Jap cars from there very cheaply :D Stuart

Yeah cos it's shit stock ;) And the Metro did have less MASS as it had to refuel all the time. ;)

Unlike most I plan to take my car onto the track when it is sorted and when I have the money. Have to sort this rear wobble first.

Yeah I was putting my foot down. You use more petrol slowing down and accelerating then cruising at higher speeds. That is why I was so confused about it. 16-18mpg mostly motor way, and 23-24mpg screwing it round country roads where I was stuck behind slower cars and had to pick cars off a few at a time.

I have bid for it but I dont want to pay the $350 extra to have the Galvatron and Optimus Prime stickers I want.

No that is total bull. They probably think that but it wont happen. As for police cars parked on pavement to catch people speeding, if you manage to get a photo or prove that the police car was parked illegaly they can not use the photos to prosicute you. They can not brake the law catching people breaking the law. Its double standards. Stuart

Did you see Clarkson try to get in one when he was reviewing it? He had to take the roof off to get in. The lower a car is to the ground the less air under neath and the better it handles, the lower the height the less wind resistance there will be. Stuart

NismO_UK, every body would have seen it by now. I think Sam Mendes directed that advert. I think it was him, if not it is some other now really famous movie director. The Playstation game Army Men, took the mick out of it, in their advert too, with a very similar sequence with a red convertable toy car whizzing through the house before the tyres shot and then blown up by a little plastic army man with a bazooka, saying "I hate yuppies" People at work always ask me how the "Millenium Falcon" is doing. I have never called it that, people at work just started using it. Now when people ask me how fast it is I tell them "It's the car that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs" Stuart

Mine varies a lot. Once when going to the Lakes which is mostly motorway driving around 70mph I got 18mpg. When I went to the WRC in Wales I managed 24mph and that was mostly country driving with lots of slowing down and overtaking and obvioulsy having fun driving. I also had a petrol leak. Stuart

What can we say. 300ZX for fun of course, Praticallity the GTI. Cost GTI. Unless you are prepaired to pay for 16-18 mpg round town.

I think its every 30,000 miles, but I could be wrong. If you dont know how long its been on there, change it anyways
