What do you dislike about the 300ZX?
The 'American look' rear end. Mechanical accessibility !

those japanese strut bars..
Hmmm, well I'd be up for the strut bar and the m/c brace. Don't need the air guide panel now that I have a trendy carbon fibre one (cheers Macca!)

Aaaargh - White Van Man strikes again.
*****x - that's a bit of a mess. Hope the insurance don't want to write it off .....

Z in Lambo Orange anyone?
LOVE the colour, don't go a bundle on the bodykit though ....

Master cylinder
I bought a refurb kit and just replaced the m/c piston. Dead easy to do and much cheaper than a new one. It's pretty unlikely that you need a complete m/c unless the bore has become scratched.

There is that guy Paul something who lives over there. I was hoping to get him to ship me one over, but we never really sorted the details out. I have his contact details in case anyone wanted to sort out a mini-group buy. I did mention it once before, but nobody seemed that interested.

pc is noisey
That should be sufficient to push a failing disk over the edge ! LOL ;) I'd recommend backing up any data - whilst it's still there ....

Slightly smoky turbos and PCV valves
Could be due to the Earths' current proximity to Mars ! ;)

Code 21 & Code 34 - connected ?
Yeah, good point, I was thinking of my setup where I have two gauges and the pipe fell off one end of the t-piece.

Code 21 & Code 34 - connected ?
Maybe the vac pipe has fallen off the sender ... It should be pretty obvious if he was really running at 0psi !

It certainly is, not managed to get my hands on one yet though.

Front number plate on 99 spec
I have Jap size numbers (67mm) on the front and rear plates with a std size UK front plate - no point in attracting unwanted attention is there ... Seems to fit OK.

vibration
Most likely culprits are probably wheel balance, propshaft centre bearing, gearbox rear support - in that order. Propshaft balance is not something that changes unless it gets messed with ...

Have you got a virus checker (and/or a firewall) - if not why not ?

L reg anyone?
PaulC and Jaylox I think. Could be tempting fate putting that plate on though !! ;)

Any one use Linux?
The only 'forking' on Linux is processes :D LOL

Alloy wheel size problem
Working on the assumption that the rolling radius, or diameter is going to be as near as dammit the same as the standard wheel then I would say you probably can. You may need to go a fraction narrower, but as long as they make a tyre in the right size then it should be possible. I reckon you will need a 235/30-20 !

macca gets his new koyo rad
S'nuthin' - just measured the end tanks on the ones that Waz had made in SA and they are 73mm !!!!!! Now that is a tight fit ....

Cats?
Mine passed easily with no cats at all - remember they have to do a non-cat test for Jap imports .... Make sure your O2 sensors are working correctly, plus you can always rely on the old 'air leak on the plenum trick' to pass the emssions. ;)
