You could dare to be different: http://minkara.carview.co.jp/en/userid/933101/car/768181/3940882/7/photo.aspx#title

See if this helps Simon...

Rear short, front long.

Welcome to the Club Steve - nice colour BTW!

Thank you all for your kind birthday wishes - it is much appreciated!

You still need to apply and pay for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) to holiday in the states.

Have a read of this from Greg@SZ http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2421113/I-do-not-recommend-blow-off-valves-on-the-Z.html

Have you checked that the max boost setting is still set to 22psi. Also you may have a high/low boost function selectable on your EBC (mine does) with it now in low boost setting.

Bose did change the speaker size used (I can't remember the years). Just look out for 6.5 " type. The physical boxes and mounting points to the car are the same for 2+0 and 2+2. The ports are different sizes L&R as the boxes are different volumes for the bass reflex design.

That sounds like a lot of fun Nick! Are you going with others or a solo trip? Simon,Joel and myself did a 5 day trip last year to the south of France and had a blast (we posted a thread up here). Look forward to reading about your trip and seeing the photos.

They are the same. They do have different part numbers, but that seems to be down to the electronics Bose put in them for 2+0 and 2+2 models.

Come on spill the beans, where are going in Europe for your trip?

Racelogic discontinued the TC product late last year. They do come up s/h from time to time on eBay etc. Great system and one I fitted many years ago. https://racelogic.support/05Traction_control

Post the MDF rings to me and I will chamfer them for you.

Yes they fit 2+2 and are designed for 6.5" speakers.

Congratulations Dan! Look forward to seeing the car in the metal.

Another temple of velour then!

They look absolutely gorgeous! You must be chuffed to bits.

Good! It's such a nice show to go to. It only feels like yesterday since the last one!

This is my solution: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?170960-Tweeter-Pods&p=1752974&viewfull=1#post1752974

When you get the rear brakes you can measure the piston diameters of the front and rear calipers together with the pad heights and I will calculate the brake bias for you.

Have fun Craig!

You need the piston diameters of the K-Sport front calipers (there will be 4) and rears (there will be 2) together with the pad heights. You should be able to get the part #s and then dimensions of the pads used from K-Sport who from memory use pads that also fit AP Racing calipers. The disc diameters are known - 356mm (F) and 330mm ® For the calculator take the Cf of the pads to be the same (if you use the same manufacturer/type for front and rear). You will need to convert metric to imperial to use the calculator.

Slats not skirts! Tom's pictures are clearer, but I wanted to show black cars like yours.

For stock calipers, discs and pads then below the split point of the proportioning valve (498psi) the brake bias ratio F/R is 2.1/1 and above the split point the ratio F/R is 3.0/1 The proportioning valve is built into the master cylinder and reduces the hydraulic pressure exerted on the rear caliper pistons relative to the fronts when you apply pressure to the system above the split point. If you like, between light/medium braking and heavy braking. I used this calculator when I fitted the AP racing CP5555 (F) and CP6620 ® brakes/discs to check the new bias which came out very close to stock (both above and below split point of proportioning valve in master cylinder): http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/bias-calculator/ I steered clear of an adjustable bias valve as a) I didn't need one b) I would have to deal with the built in valve and c) I use the car on the road and didn't want insurance issues.
