Aftermarket steering wheel size, 330mm or 350mm?
I've got a 330mm Nardi in mine, woudln't say it's too small, but have to admit if it was my daily I would've left the stock steering wheel on as mine was in good condition and the chunkyness and leather felt nice!!

Wheel bearings?
Some brands of tyres do have worse tyre cavity noise than others, in certain high luxury cars they put absorbers in the tyre cavity's for NVH reasons. I would do as someone has sggested and swap the rear wheels back and go for a drive see if the noise goes away.

Wheel bearings?
I'd say that's wheels scrubbing rather than a wheel bearing. I once put some wheels on my Alfa, one was slightly bent on the back and was scrubbing on the lower arm every rotation! doh. Yours is most likely tyres on arch.

Det Sensor bypass
My DET sensor sits where the pexcom write up points to not the engine by numbers diagram. However it is possible to jumble thos rear connectors as I have previously plugged it into a VTC one on the loom mistakinly! Best way is to look at the wire colours on the main loom side connector http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?151003-Colour-wiring-diagrams DET sensor should be a white and a black wire(earth shield). The VTC connectors should be a red/black and a green/black wire.

are grooved brakes directional ?
I got K sports aswell. If you look at the actual internal vents they go the right way to disperse cr4p and heat etc. but the grooves on the outer surface are there more for just roughing up the pad surface a bit and aesthetics but yes I agree they appear to go the wrong way on K sports and you'll get lots of 'mechanics' telling you they're on the wrong sides of the car....they're wrong.

Revs dropping off after boost
Looks pretty rusty, soak the nut with plus gas or other brand release agent then give it another go. Does the other side one move?

seriously disheartened now and just wanna burn the car help!
Seems the conclusion of the thread is that it's the turbo oil seal(s) healthy compression test kinda proves the theory out I guess....always worth ensuring your PCV system is in correct working order before changing the turbos though!

Couple of issues after fitting FMIC
The little black box is the external temp sensor for the digi dash display and climate control..........I know this cos I removed mine with the aircon, getting annoyed with it being -86 degrees or whatever outside on the digi display inside now so gonna put it back on at some point! It'll be just fine where you've mounted it.

Fitting of decats
Mine didn't fit at all when I fitted my japspeed decats so I ground off the tabs on the gearbox hangers and ran without. The two sides of exhaust were level with each other though. I've since remade my own hangers and cut and rewelded flanges where needed and now my exhaust fits great without stress on any of it. Pretty much a completely custom exhaust now though!

Anyone got a spare £2.6 million!
Agreed, the pantera is ace. The DB3S just looks like a cheap kit car.....some people have waaaaaaaay too much money!

hks looking exhaust
Good luck finding an exhaust for your SWB. Took me a while! Most people seem to go on US ebay and buy one from there imported.

SuperHICAS: Repair or Replace
I too would keep it if it's your road car. Super hicas is faster than the normal HICAS most of us have/had on our early Z's. Just replace the outer ball joints and arms.

what EBC do you use?
Using a Blitz Dual Solenoid jobby. Seems ok so far, you need the manual and to do a bit of research into settings before starting to use it though

fog light help
Guessing rear as you don't need fronts for MOT. As it looks like yours is a jap spec the fog light will be someones homebrew fitment so is hard to say what could be wrong.

Idle hunting
I thought the TPS was supposed to be set at 0.50......guess I'll be resetting mine to 0.44 then!

Air Con Removal?? Opinions?
I'd of kept it if my car was a daily, but ditched it as it's not and also had the engine in and out lots of times! But agree it's not worth removing, just for the sake of it.
