Clear lens kit for old tail light ?
José, most if not all of the clear light kits that were available on ebay were simply made from the Acrylic or Styrene Sheets used for as Fluorescent Light diffusers. Here is an example from a UK seller: http://www.allplaz.com/acatalog/Rigid_Plastic.html (Light Diffuser Sheets) You should be able to get the same material in France. Use your existing orange lenses as templates. -Andrew

Refit Carbon Canister
Like a lot of people I removed the original Carbon Canister from the car to improve airflow through the larger aftermarket IC. http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/6901.html However, I wasn't happy with the smell of petrol (not strong but definitely there) that resulted. This was most noticeable when opening up the garage, especially on a hot day. I felt this could potentially mask a more serious problem with a leak from the fuel pipework in the engine bay. My solution was to refit a smaller CC from a Skyline GTST relocated to a new position in front the engine radiator and reconnect all the pipes as before (except the one on the intake pipe from the air filter). Result, no more petrol smells and no CC behind the IC to disrupt airflow. -Andrew

Head gasket?
This thread has the solution to that problem: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?32269 Just make sure you get a decent set (good manufacturer) as cheap ones will just split. -Andrew

tank of fuel cost
Took this picture in Tampa, Florida in January. Just to remind myself how ridiculously expensive fuel is in UK (and Europe for that matter). Works out at about 57p litre. Even that is considered expensive in the U.S. -Andrew
