I feel more relaxed just looking at your photos, thanks for sharing. Grand Marnier? I had you as more a cask strength malt whisky type - Slàinte!

The Japanese tuning shop JUN Auto entered the USA Bonneville Speed Trials in 1991 with the JUN-Blitz 300ZX in the E/BMS class. JUN ran a record 260.876 mph becoming world champions and setting a record that still remains unbroken.

PM'd you.

Trims Russ trims!

If you PM me the number I will put it into FAST and see what comes out.

I must have missed something...

How is it the original (from the factory)?

But that's not a correctly formed VIN number for Z32s.

Can you point out where in this thread the VIN number is?

Link has a list of the parts used in the car when Stuart put it up for sale in Oct 2008: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?117501-Silver-Streak-Moddified-2-2-90-TT

'94 UK spec.

Welcome to the Club and good luck with your new project. BTW the mirrors you are watching have been resprayed and may not be the "silver" of your car (if that matters to you). The OEM connectors for the wiring looms are missing.

Welcome back stranger - glad too read that you haven't lost the faith!

Did you read calculator notes? "Note: multi piston calipers express their values using one HALF of the caliper body. This accounts for the floating aspect of the single piston caliper. A six pot caliper would be 1.625/1.125/1.125" for example."

Who is going to give you permission? How do you or anyone else know the "original" VIN (on a piece of paper?) is the one that matches the removed VINs on the car? Without a VIN you have no record of the history of the car - was it stolen or written off in Japan. The VIN was removed for a reason. Did you import the car yourself or through a third party?

If you take a look at the notes for the calculator in the link I posted earlier for the purposes of calculating F/R bias with multi pistion calipers then 40.5mm x 2 = 2574 sq mm = 3.99 sq ins. Try the calculator, I used it for the AP F/R setup I have.

By the way the piston areas for the various calipers quoted in the your image posts above are way out. I've highlighted the offending figures for the Z32 front caliper (the rest are the same):

ConZult can perform diagnostics and tests (including air mix, outlet and intake-doors) on the Auto AC system.

Ian, do you have the "HA" (heater and AC) section from the FSM?

Sorry for the delay in replying. I can't find the original reference from Greg@SZ I was looking for but here is the text: "I have never had a issue with running as much as 8000RPM with the stock coils. The reason you want a tighter gap for higher boost is because the plug is harder to fire with more pressure for the spark to have to jump across. Higher RPM's requires a better coil than lower RPM's because the coil has less time to re-energize. I have a antique coil tester that shows the spark across a gap on the machine, the machine has a knob you can turn that simulates higher RPM. You can watch the spark go away with most single coils for American cars when turning the knob. When you use a 300zx coil, you can go all the way around and the spark never goes away ;-) (We have 6 coils and they have 1) I have tested really expensive Mallory coils that blow out easy. The stock 300zx coils are amazing." http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317045&highlight=split+fire&page=2

Begs the question as to why the VIN plate was removed. As it would appear that silver sticker was applied after the VIN plate was removed what does it say?

If price is not an issue why not just stay with the Porterfield R4S pads even if it means sourcing them overseas?

Halfords satin black?

Unless you are planning very high boost levels stock coil packs will work fine.
