Tappet Noise
so you can hear the noise from inside the car... so it only sounds like it's coming from the top back. can you hear it when stopped, bonnet open? when was last oil change, what oil did you use? what is the oil level now? any issues with the turbos? smoke, noise, etc...

knackered thread advise.
OK, i had the same problem on the back two bolts. I checked the depth of the hole and found it to be another 10mm longer that the bolts used. i went to a local nut and bolt supplier and got a couple of (8M) high tensile bolts that were long enough. put them in and made sure I didn't over-tighten them like the last idiot. LOL...(no, not me) bloody aluminium, you really got to stick to the recommended torque settings. Oh, and i have tapped the top of the plenum for the balance bar... what a f£$%^ng nightmare.... wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're doing.

99spec or not to 99spec
i think your car looks fantastic with or without it.... but personally i think it should be blue if your going to keep it. i don't think it look right black with silver rims... that's only my opinion of course...

0.4 bar boost
you need to do a vac test check. (i.e. pressurize the system and listen for leaks).. that way you can either find it or rule it out.... save guessing. there are some posts on doing this.... easier if you know someone who has the gear set up. this is a guide on the Oz forum... http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.488

sorry mate but he's a single father with two kids!!! It will not be a family member looking after the kids he will be 100% reliant on paid care for them. ------------ Sayers, I know all people are different and what suits one doesn't suit another... i was moved countries twice as a kid, once to Mexico when I was 7 and then back to Oz when i was 10... I really am NOT grateful to my parent for the experience. but then they didn't have English schools where we went so I had to re-learn English when we went back to Oz and that was no heal to my education. OK, so I did learn about another culture but i also got a big taste of prejudiced and racism and I can say that has left a nasty taste in my mouth. So it's not just about giving your kids a good experience it might also be one that is unhealthy. sorry to shove that on you but there's a lot of things to consider. I really don't think you should be considering integration even if you do go over.

importing a 300zx
when you say, you will be importing the car... do you mean via an import company or you will do all the work yourself? If you know someone in japan you might have half a chance but other than that you'll just be paying someone a lot of money. and no guarantee of quality as you wont be able to check the car yourself (i.e. AA check). Although you might get a really nice car you also might end up with a wreck. My car was imported (not by me) and registered as a L reg... the car turned out to be made in 91 (as i discovered from the Chassis number). good luck...

I'd say that most of these questions could be answered by your company. If it were me, I would rather my children stayed in a British culture compound. I'm certainly not racist but i wouldn't be keen on integrating any daughter of mine in a middle Easter culture. I would also be concerned about both my and my children's safety. BUT then again that is just me.... good luck on whatever decision you make.

Gutted!!
you have my full sympathy.... we bought out house about 6 years ago and still haven't finished it.... other stuff just keeps cropping up and getting it the way.. I started get a problem with the z'd gear box lat month and so thought I'd better sorta out another box... also a prefect time to do a single piece prop shaft. so got the bob and prop only to find out that the flywheel has lost teeth (hence the horrid noise when starting sometimes.. was hoping it was the started and so got another one of those as well)... then when they took it off they check ed the clutch and that too is on its way out.... so.. this little trip to the shop will be costing me over £1300 .... it's hard to feel good about keeping a car that just keeps swallowing money.... especially since it cost me over £6k to start with... and my wife looks at it like... oh well that's the driveway (or carpets or floor in the conservatory) put back a year or so now....

Would you allow your son to do this....?
not exactly on topic but..... a fried of mine was talking to a security guard at morri5on5 and he said that the security team were advised (or rather TOLD) not to follow or detain anyone wearing a burkha... so if you want to kick stuff from Morri5ons you know what to do...:D
