What Chip/ecu
As stated here for your info. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=1484964&postcount=6 and here http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=1484982&postcount=7 A chip can cost around 100 quid plus whereas re mapping existing ECU on rollers/road for a few hours and burning a chip off to suit could cost around 3-5 times more. Should you upgrade further, then re mapp again! Zedworld ones though more expensive, they do fully assess your engine first to ensure it is ful working order and boost leak free, they then road test and reasess again. John Dixon and DTA will either post you a chip for you to fit or supply a replacement ECU with a chip already in it on an exchange basis. When you think you have finally finished all your upgrades and are using bigger injectors and turbo's, then yep re mapp what you have to suit your specific engine and mods. smithy

TT Bhp
A re-mapp is possible, however it can be stupidly expensive for an engine with only basic mods. Once you go bigger injectors and turbo's with decent internals then yes in order to gain the most out of what you have. A decent chip like from Zedworld, DTA or John Dixon is much cheaper and easier. They are more than capable of dealing with the usual exhaust/induction/boost increase and many many have them. hth smithy

Plenum polish

Illuminated door kick plates wiring
I've had a few PM's about these sills asking if they are still in production, sadly they are not. These cost around 2K in development costs some years back and like all the other products i've done, 65-70% of customers were non UK. The risk though was that someone eventually would copy my products once known how we manufactured them here, the Indiglow sills are the last item copied by companies across the water and as this gives them minimal development costs but with a larger customer base, they couldn't be made here in the UK and still be viable. I do have an idea for a new product which i may do in the summer if i have time before i sell me Zed, they will be sold in 1 large batch only before someone has chance to copy it lol Sozz about the sills!

Ebay discs any good?
First off you know thats 80 quid each disc, so 160 plus vat and delivery yeah? If both your discs are currently 280mm x 30mm then yep they is fine, looks like as said you either had the tt sized discs and calipers from factory or someone done it before you. Smithy

No side lights, just full beam??
Look at the relays in the large fuse box pasenger side front of engine, think it's a blue relay, should be marked on the lid anyways. You might be able to swap around 1 or 2 of them to confirm it is a relay. smithy

NA/TT Rad fitment difference
Think Zedwizz was selling adapter plates for the bottom 2 pegs mate, ask him. Top hose is simply use a TT one and rad brackets are a struggle even using TT ones, could use the top stainless covers that Luke and Danny sell and simply drill 2 holes in the slam to fit, pretty easy. Smithy

-
Ebay discs any good?
No idea on the brand soz but it does state the size of disc which is actually the TT size and the ad is for non turbo discs. No problem if you fit TT calipers as well otherwise your N/A calipers won't fit. Of course he may just be using a generic ad. Just worth checking first as there isn't a vast range out there for N/A's really/ smithy

silicone brake vacuum hoses
Sizes are exactly the same, shape can be different between models and years. It's real easy to be exact, look at the 2 you have on your engine, select the same 2 from the pic on lukes website, job done! Smithy
