Petition to increase motorway speed limit from 70mph to 90mph
It'll never happen unfortunately. They pulled out of the 80mph increase due to the increase in emissions. Add the fact that the government now get fined for not hitting the set air pollution reduction levels, it would cost them money to increase the limit.

Identify the Part time.
Can't say I noticed it in mine, but I'm taking the door cards off again soon so I'll have another look

18" OEM 300ZX Alloys!
I was going to say, very similar to the 964/993 shape Cup split rims that came on a couple of the special editions

Simply Japanese 2017
This is year I fully intend to be there in a finish car! (Yes, I know I said that last year, best intentions and all!) - - - Updated - - - *finished

Track day, Southern.
Personally I'm not a fan of track time at shows. Always seem to have idiots out there trying to show off or have something to prove, nor do I think they offer any real value for money. Agree with what Pete says about airfield day. Find they are much close to road conditions than track in terms of surface quality, but are good for this wanting to establish how their car behaves when pushed in a less intimidated/Armco lines environment, but nothing g flows like a dedicated circuit

Track day, Southern.
The company I book 95% of my track days through http://www.opentrack.co.uk/product-category/goodwood/

Track day, Southern.
Only downside to Goodwood is it's pretty expensive (£225 for the day) vs Abingdon which is £90-120

Track day, Southern.
Goodwood is a lovely circuit. Had a wail of a time a few years back in the Z, soaking wet in the morning and dry as a bone in the arvo, and they had free tuition AND the chance to go for a blast with Anthony Reid (former btcc God) in a new exige cup! Awesome day! I'm also looking at doing a day at Abingdon to re familiarise myself with my Z after all the works finished, which is looking like mid spring g time.

Duff injectors?
If you're planning on going for more power anytime in the next few years, I'd say yes, get all the bits you need to change for a laters injector. However, as there are now a fair few options available, I would go for a top feed rail setup over a side feed setup. The new generation top feeds are a very stable injector platform and if offers you more injector choice. If you have no plans to go above a slight boost increase or don't plan on keeping the car in the long term, stick with old style side feeds. It's not worth the expense to upgrade.

Import zed with odd histrory
There is only one reason why a VIN is removed from a vehicle
-
Looks like a decent Zed.......
Such a shame the Z didn't have an adjustable steering wheel, would have happily got rid of my airbag wheel for the official late non airbag wheel, but it just sits too close to the top of my legs and ended up with a dished wheel - - - Updated - - - Sorry, adjustable steering column
-
Looks like a decent Zed.......
Looks like a tidy series 3. Fair price aswell, as long as it's that clean underneath. Certainly looks like it should be a grade 4 import

NA owners
It's an odd one for me I've had two TT zeds and 13 years of ownership. My current TT is a bit of an animal. However, I've had a real itch for a '95 ish short wheel base slick top manual NA zed that I'd want to GT3RS-ize, semi stripped but no bare floors, half caged car with a well fettled engine, REALLY sorted chassis components, a proper pure naturally aspirated drivers car. Yes I know my TT would leave it for dead, but sometimes it's about the driving experience and not just the power (which is why I think older naturally aspirated RWD cars are becoming so popular, and expensive) However, I would never personally have any desire to own a LWB auto NA.

Need help finding a OE part
Unlikely, reason I asked for a picture of the part was because the bloody thing has called out at some point when I've have the front end apart in the last year or So :P - - - Updated - - - *fallen out
-
Need help finding a OE part
I assume the part pushes through he hole in the wing and has a built in retainer or sorts?
-
Need help finding a OE part
No, it's $10.88 EACH, plus shipping. For a piece of plastic the size of fag butt, yet similar grommets for other parts of the car are $3 it's a bit of a rip off (not CZP's fault, it'll be Nissan setting the RRP)
-
Need help finding a OE part
$10!!!! That's crazy for tiny bit of plastic! Cheers guys, that's just what I was after
-
Need help finding a OE part
Bit of help please. I'm trying to find what I think is probably some sort of threaded grommet. As I've been putting my car back together I've found that where very rear edge of the front bumper attached to the wing (so the leading edge of the front wheel arch) I have nothing to wind a bolt into when you line up the bumper with the support bracket. The front bumper has been off for such a long time, I can't remember what should be there! I know I could use a nut and bolt, but considering it's probably a very cheap part, I'd like to keep an OE fastener. Does any one: A) have the foggiest idea of what I'm talking about B) have a picture of what I'm missing C) a part number or link to said part Cheers Nick

Clutch question

Clutch Questions
Anything that's down as a VG30DET is for a Z31 300zx not a Z32 (which is VG30DETT). Personally I'd go for an RPS Street Max over everything else clutch wise. There's another thread active at the moment about lightweight fly wheels, have a look at that before deciding as unless you want to upgrade there is no reason why you couldn't have your stock wheel skimmed if it needs it. Other thing I would 100% do is go for the full length braided clutch line and delete the hydraulic dampener (the bleed nipple on the near the hicas servo). Makes clutch bleeding a significantly easier and less time consuming. - - - Updated - - - *and to clarify, if your car is an NA, it's VG30DE
