Blue Wide Arch is Finished
Here you go.... And since it's in the northern section of the country, you have no excuse mate....:wink: https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?188554-Lakes-Weekend-Fat-Lamb-Inn-May-26th-to-28th-2018

Automatic gearboxes upgrades/options
Don't forget the 300zx auto 'box is old-tech now - and only has 4 gears; hence can't really be compared to today's 7, 8 or 9 speed offerings. I'd leave it alone though; it's still not a bad 'box considering how far we've come in 25 years. 3000 rpm at around 90-ish isn't exactly uncivilised. Especially when most older cars were 4-speed manuals, 70mph came at around 4000rpm...:wink:

UK OEM Wheel and tyre size
Yup - exactly as Pete says...... This is the same OEM tyre size as the Porsche 928s4 - so the 245/45/16 are out there; but at a price! I think Toyo and Bridgestone still make them though. And Continental will no doubt supply them in Porsche fitment - the Sport N2 probably....:wink:

Cylinder down
I'd concur with this too.... Jimmer cleaned my injector connectors and it made a hell of a difference; trouble was, they soon went green again whilst the Zed was sitting in MXD's workshop for a couple of months. When Jimmer took the car back for me, he cleaned them again and gave the connections a coat of special grease - I had no problems after that..:cool:

Fat Lamb Weekend Meet - Southern Convoy
I'd never have thought that, but you're right!! I do prefer the M40 to the M1 though - and the M40 generally moves quicker... I'll probably follow my sat-nav on the day and just hope it works its way around the worst of the traffic:wink:

Fat Lamb Weekend Meet - Southern Convoy
That's certainly the route I'll be taking - no point in heading over to the east for M1/A1, then heading back to the west, once in the north...:wink: Julia is at work until 1pm that Saturday, so I'll meet her at Aylesbury and then head up the A41, to join the M40 at junction 9. I assume you'll all be settled in by then!

Newbie who has just bought his 2nd Z32 TT UK, and I love it!

What did you do to your zed today?
Nice! I bought the Mishimoto (in 2016, I think).... Yours looks a more OEM fitment though; as the Mishi is definitely a chunkier upgrade. Plus, I searched everywhere for a Nissan OEM - but the UK spec auto version is no longer made. It wasn't worth buying a pattern J-spec auto rad, as I'd have lost the better auto-box oil cooling facility. I ended up installing a Mishimoto 'box cooler too - another expense, but probably worth it:wink:

Oil Pressure Sender
Nice one Andrew - I knew you'd beat everyone to it mate!! I bought one from MJP a few years ago and was frantically looking through my bills to find it...:wink:
