Which one would you have?
a mate has a TT (1JZ), nice cars and quick, however the system has been restricted and the back turbo seems to be a regular problem... parts are a bit harder to come by than for the z... If you do a bit of work on one it will go like stink, my mate did a single turbo conversion with intercooler and the difference is amazing. a regular issue seems to be the fuel pump as well... I don't know much about the V8 but it's not as quick.

Who has knowledge on supras and skylines?
the supra is heavy and gutless...(a mate of mine had one... sold it again after three months). so it really depends on what you want it for.... showy or for fun... :) (fun would be the skyline)

Re-Upholstered Seats?
so for £80 each that's £240 labour + materials... (assuming it's only £80 for the back seat) and is that, you take the covers off or you give them the seats? anyone know how much the leather is?

standard rear lights
this stuff is better... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BOLT-PANEL-SEALER-BUTYL-TAPE-ROLL-STRIP-SEALANT-BONDING-CARS-BOATS-VANS-/220932314564?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item33709795c4#ht_500wt_1176 pretty much identical to the original seal... let me know if you want some extra instructions to get the best results... and I'll email then to you.. :)

Has anyone got nissan epc
yeah, i bought one off ebay.... but I have noticed that using the on-line parts list: http://nissan4u.com/parts/300zx/ Once you drill right down to each part it shows you any other Nissan that also used the same part. I hope that helps.... e.g. the oil filter... http://nissan4u.com/parts/info/15208H8903/ Filter oil, 15208H8903 also fits (I've removed most of the model & year info.. but you get the drift): 100NX B13 200SX S13 300ZX Z32 Date Roof Engine Seat Grade Transmission '90, January — T-BAR ROOF VG30DETT TYPE ENGINE 2+2 SEATER GL TYPE MANUAL TRANSMISSION '90, January — T-BAR ROOF VG30DETT TYPE ENGINE 2+2 SEATER GL TYPE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ALMERA N15 BLUEBIRD T12 BLUEBIRD T72 BLUEBIRD U11 CABSTAR F22 Date Body Bed Engine Transmission Tire Chassis '82, January — LONG BODY LOW BED.STEEL Z20 TYPE ENGINE 5 SPEED FLOOR SHIFT TYPE SINGLE TIRE STANDARD '82, January — LONG BODY HIGH BED.STEEL Z20 TYPE ENGINE 5 SPEED FLOOR SHIFT TYPE SINGLE TIRE STANDARD '82, January — LONG BODY LOW BED.A-CHASSIS Z20 TYPE ENGINE 5 SPEED FLOOR SHIFT TYPE SINGLE TIRE A-CHASSIS CABSTAR F23 Date Body Engine Bed type Transmission '92, July — '94, May TRUCK NA20S TYPE ENGINE HIGH BED,STEEL MANUAL TRANSMISSION '92, July — '94, May TRUCK NA20S TYPE ENGINE HIGH BED,A-CHASSIS MANUAL TRANSMISSION CHERRY N12 KING CAB D22 KING CAB D21 LAUREL C32 MAXIMA J30 PRAIRIE M10 PRAIRIE M11 PRIMERA P11E PRIMERA P10E PRIMERA WAGON W10 PRIMERA WAGON WP11E SERENA C23M SILVIA S12 SUNNY B11.............. etc....

Clunk when turning at very low speed
Who did you go? another think I've noticed is that if you have spacers on the front (depends on the type) if the wheels aren't done up properly and the spacers cleared every once in a while it tends to make a clunk as well, mostly when breaking...

compression test results
As far as I'm aware its not the right thing to do... you shouldn't clean the MAF with anything that leaves a residue... (non-residue spray on electrical contact cleaner, only) that will only cause problems... need to see what Jeff says about doing this....

jap import folding mirrors
Hi, not much help, but yes on my JDM both sides fold. No idea how hard they are to fix. good luck..

Think its f**ked
OK, not sure what exactly you've done.... so have you checked each of the coil packs... by unplugging them one at a time to see if there is any difference.. also try running it with the MAF unplugged see if it's worse. the connector checks should include pulling them apart and cleaning any corrosion. i think there are instructions on here somewhere about making a rudimentary plug for the air intake and then pressurising the induction system. check the connection to the ECU but you shouldn't disconnect it with the battery connected (so I've been told).

electronic rust protection
it's a hard call.... I don't know of anyone that has used it but I can tell you that it is possible. On ships they use blocks of metal that corrode faster than the hull (they call them sacrificial anodes). corrosion is an electronic process (obviously, that's how a battery works) so it is possible for something like that to work. I would be concerned with it causing issues with the electrics as they go though the cars body. it would be nice if anyone has had first hand experience with this type of kit...
