300ZX_DRE

One question I have wanted to know with a boost controller, can you turn the boost lower than what it would be if it was stock? i.e. To save fuel if you wanted turning it into a more economic boost setting? - it may sound silly but I have always wondered..

Do you have a Grey 300?

Well done WelshZ - I made the move from DC2 to Z32 a few years back and am also still smiling from ear to ear, look forward to seeing pics! :)

will do mate... hope the others get up early like and check the forum lol

Sounds good to me mate

Count me in lads :)

Absolutely amazing, my dream engine bay :)

Parking Pole Switch - I had one on my last car mounted into the front bumper, just looks like an aerial which pops up and gives you an indication as to where the front of your car is so you don't whack the wall.... just incase you can't judge distances.. so if your female. lol

LOL Quavey - Mines an 89 G Plate, feels quite good when you whop a Megane 'Sport' with the Checkered Flag up the side lol or an Integra DC5 with MUGEN plastered all over it - Because we all know, that having the sticker is just as good as having the speed :D

I fear you are right Craig, and no doubt it'll stay that way - I have never seen a car in that kind of state before, but it just so happened to be the same car which I own, to be the first skip on wheels I see...

The Yellow one is pretty bad from all angles, it's a real shame to see one like that as it shows that the owner isn't arsed, the interior was something to be desired too! - I'll see it again no doubt as it is well talked about with other 300zx owners I know up here, who are also equally as shocked!

Was out for a drive the other weekend with my buddy and we decided to go get some beers as it was a nice day.. We pulls up at the local supermarket and to my horror this was what I saw 2 bays next to my car and my mates supra :cry: I didn't know what to say, I don't know if it belongs to anyone on here, but I hope they are intending to get it fixed up soon as it's such a shame to see a Z in that state... -Sigh- :(

I quite like the 'Green' plus it's 'Original' lol.. and it matches the illumina sills and quarter glass if you have those too :)

Definately not cars to compare to a Z. But people are constantly comparing these days..

The Z is infinately better in my opinion, my 2 best mates have a GTO and a Supra, so we're constantly in competiton. But they all agree the interior of the Z is far nicer, much more refined and spacious even in the back - although the headroom is a little restricted, but legroom is slightly larger I find in the Z. Plus more to my liking, the dash actually faces the whole of the cabin in the Z, whereas the Supra and GTO's do not, they face the driver.. and the GTO's stereo is kind of mounted below and pointing upwards slightly to the gearstick which is cack imo - the GTO dash is too plasticy as mentioned as well as the styling is something to be desired. Finally, Z's have T-Top/Glass Roofs (Rooves)... Yet to see a GTO with that, although I think they may have made 1 in Japan.. or the US.. badged Stealth... Z all the Way, anyday. Plus, more to your question, about them snapping cambelts & failing turbos.. I would say that is all down to how each individual car has been driven/maintained.. You have to bare in mind these are 20+ year old cars, which are still going strong, and which also have incredibly strong fan bases and forums.. They have the strong fan bases because they are reliable when properly maintained and still have years of driving pleasure left in them. They were way too over-engineered for there times as they were designed to be, therefore in theory, they should be just as reliable as anything you can buy right now, as some features on modern cars are coming with features the Z has, standard, 20 years later.

that is pretty impressive like

Hey Isaac, liking what you have done on the rear centre panel, I have 99spec lights on mine, and already have an indiglo panel, so obviously my panel is pre-99 with no silver/chrome innards.. So basically, all I would need to do is then strip it and paint the inside of light housing silver with some paint and it will match - near enough the lightness/whiteness of the 99s?

I voted yes, I need it personally as my rear window is tinted and when rain falls and it's dark and I am reversing, I use my wiper to clear the droplets so I can see where I am going lol... also water droplets irritate me anyways, especially when light hits them.. so I am keeping mine, but I am going to upgrade my wiper from the stock skeleton arm to something newer/more modern.

Cheers Dave, that's the person I was thinking of when I saw them on ebay.. haven't seen her advertising them in a while.. a pm shouldn't hurt though :)

Thanks very much mate! I will check the place out... Just out of curiosity.. Do you know Stuart from A.A.S with the purple `Vette?

What a legend :detective: you have pm :)

lol yeah, well K19 e.t.c are different patterns using an inverted pyramid style pattern... basically what is used in some industry lighting.. hmmm

Failing that, anyone work in a place where you can get ahold of K19 or K15 prismatic acrylic? I'm sure that's the pattern used...

I can acquire the clear plastic which is used in the lense for the 99 spec tail lights? - I'm sure you can get them somewhere, or a similar style of patterned clear plastic.. thanks

Any idea on the current pre-order numbers Dave? - They needed 25.. they should have that now surely!?
