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.

Remember the 300ZX trip in France with a 944 and Capri? On BBC 3 now!

I would never have guessed, you kept that quiet!

You could have dropped in for a cuppa!

The tapets are hydraulic and can drain down when the engine is unused for a length of time. This gives a "clicking" sound. Normally this will clear after the engine has got up to temp and been run. Good quality engine oil helps.

Good. We have had cars on here that have had cambelt changes within a few thousand miles but have been unused for many years.

And when was that done?

Welcome Mike! Before moding bug gets going, give the car a good check over and service. When was the cambelt changed (if ever)? What is the condition of the sills and wheel arches (corrosion)?

How smooth is your drive? Would those small wheels would have a tendency to dig in as you push the car back into the garage?

What does it say in the context of your original assertion that people are being prosecuted for doing 70mph on motorways? The BBC article states "781 had exceeded a speed limit of 70mph, according to Kent Police", but not by how much before being prosecuted and that it the point here.
