I found these videos very informative. [video=youtube_share;6vr8YjBz9uw] [video=youtube_share;LwHrYEBXXGg]

Which magazine was the article in? I'd love to see a scan of it if that was possible in due course?

Thanks for the link and nice workmanship! Did you get your UK/Euro oil cooler done?

At least this comment in that BB thread is correct: "Personally I think half the appeal in the old ZX's is the Q-car nature of them. They're sledgehammer fast with velvet glove looks. If you start adding wings and vents and bling they just become another 2F2F wannabe tomy toy"

"at what power level is to much for the road?" The level at which the performance of the car exceeds the ability of the driver to control it safely.

This was the experience of Greg Dupree from Specialty-Z with stainless and inconel manifolds: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2347243/INfo.html With the Z32 the problem of cracking was made worse by the weight of the turbos hanging off the manifolds. For a time SZ insisted that to provide a warranty against their inconel manifolds cracking that their test pipes with flexible joints were also fitted. Ultimately SZ stopped selling inconel manifolds and went with cast iron from Mike Smith.

Have you checked the ecu harness plug is fully and correctly seated in the ecu socket and the individual ecu harness wires have not been pulled/broken from the plug? Was the wooden kick board not installed?

Why are you after tubular manifolds rather than cast ones?

Does it look like this? In which case it would be for operating a parking mast (visual aid) fitted to the n/s front bumper. They were available as a Nissan option for JDM cars. Item 1 in picture.

You aware of this? http://minkara.carview.co.jp/en/userid/1055940/car/823631/2356565/note.aspx

Thanks for the reminder! It's pancake Tuesday on the 17th...

Here is Speciality Z's explanation for the tapered expansion turbo outlets: "The newer 2.5" intercooler pipe kits come with the turbo outlets, but they are full 2.5" and still use a coupler for the big jump in size coming off the turbo. Air can not expand as quickly as the couplers expand and making a quick change introduces turbulance." http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2400924/NEW-Specialty-Z-Product-Offering.html So you have a choice of turbo outlet pipes to go with 2.5" IC pipework depending on the size of the turbo's compessor outlet.

What needs doing to your UK TT to make it happy again?

Best wishes on your Birthday Alex!

Well from the photo it looks a job well done! Who was the ebay seller?

What did you do?

Make sure that your front tension rods are not leaking (assuming you still have stock ones). When the silicon filled bushes fail they can cause vibration under braking. https://z32.wikispaces.com/Tension+Rod

Yes.

Come on, give us a clue! Where did you find it?

How so?

What bad luck. Main thing is no one got badly hurt. Hope you are able to get another Zed for her.

Quite, but as Hampster said whilst driving through France "it has an indicated 103K and still feels as tight as a drum - everything is electric and everything works". Not sure about "Bet you Paul Raymond had a 300ZX - it is a pornograher's car" though.

Most of us have Noel. Some of the newer members won't have seen it though.
