Will N/A manual gearbox fit in TT??? Please?
Correct. TT and NA speed sensors are the same, its just the gear cog on the end. Its simple to replace (just a circlip) and not very expensive. MJP will be able to supply. Auto and Manual speed sensors are very different however.

whos awake, i need help, headlight bulb/mainbeam confused
they are all 'plug n play'. Fitted over a dozen sets to Z's - Dans, Zcentre, Ebay - all the same. Mine are mounted under the headlights, but I usually mount them under the nose panel on others.

What spark plugs for higher boost?
NGK PFR6B-11B ! Stick to NGK imo, the only plugs specifically designed for the VG.

false advertising perhaps?
its not what you said...its the way you said it , Thats why your getting the responses you did. Making accusations and assumptions, rather than just asking questions. Engine differences, I can think of right now : Pistons, Heads, Cams, Exhaust valves, Oil squirters, Sump, Oil pump, Oil filter bracket, Oil and Water pipes, Manifolds, Injectors, Spark plugs, Balance bar. and also importantly the Compression ratio is different (due the the different pistons). If you had managed to swap over all external items allowing you to run it as an NA, and blocked up all the now extra un-needed oil and water feeds round the engine and swapped injectors over so it would actually run, then you would end up with an engine noticeably down on power compared to the standard VG30DE, because of the lower compression ratio difference.

Damaged repaired Cat D. does it matter?
CAT D - very minor damage / stolen recovered. Damage (if there is any) would of been cosmetic and not structual. I've owned several Cat D, and Cat C cars. Cat C is a little more serious, but still its a classification where the car is perfectly repairable. Cat C gets recorded on log book. Cat D does not. Neither Cat C or Cat D has to have its repairs certified, other than standard MoT and VOSA identity check. Absolutely nothing to worry about.

whos awake, i need help, headlight bulb/mainbeam confused
Seriously, one of the best mods you can do to a Z !! Its not just the visibility improvement (which is staggering in comparison to stock lights), but they look sooooooo much better as well, and the car looks much newer with them on, especially with some matching side light bulbs. You can get them from about 30pounds these days. Get a 6000k kit.

Roof options
I was a joke ;) But yes, this panel could be used to replace a targa roof, by cutting and welding into place, but you could use any sheet of steel or aluminium for that. Its been done in the past where a Targa Z is to be used in competition racing, where Glass targa roofs are not permitted.

low energy light bulbs
We have energy saving throughout the house....but its not even a option for us as you can only fit Energy saving bulbs in them - new style BC3 fittings. Its what they do now with all New houses. Unfortunately BC3 fitting Energy bulbs are expensive.

hicas warning light
Its not normal for the Hicas light to illuminate when there is nothing wrong! Most common reason is low Power steering fluid, which would typically indicate a pas fluid leak. Top up the fluid (with dexron ATF fluid), but you should check for leaks from the pot to the rack. Other reasons include, incorrect fitting of Aftermarket steering boss, or a fault with any of the related sensors. There is a diagnostics if the fault is not with low pas fluid - http://ttzd.com/tech/hicas/hicas.html No, nothing to do with Brake fluid, it uses the PAS Fluid sensor.

Injector Query!
...catching up with threads I missed while I was away.... For a long time, injector options, in particular for the early (89-94) VG has been very limited. You had the choice of fitting the early Nismo 555 injectors to the stock fuel rail, or swapping to the new style rail and lower plenum and going with later pintlelss injectors. A few aftermarket fuel rails appeared, such as the 360degree rail, which allowed later style injector fitment and improved inherit design flaws in the stock fual rail setup. Venom injectors are fairly well known about.....for their horror stories (leaking and erratic flow rates). The Deutchwerks appeared on the scene a couple of years ago, and I spent some time trying to organise discount pricing with them for a potential group buy but it was a no go unfortunatly. I've discussed these in the past a few times here, there should be previous threads. They are cheaper than the Nismo's, there is a reason though...they are remanufactured, whereas the Nismo's are new stock. But they do have a good reputation, not just for the Z32 but other marques too. Z1 now sell the Deutchwerks adaptors. However, as AndyGP mentioned top feed fuel rails are starting to appear. Often discussed but never really acted on for production, but now there are a couple of options developing. This really opens up injector availability, along with other benefits. http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/classified/view/143613/MATTZ-Garage-New-Top-Feed-Fuel-Rail-Kit-NEW-PICS.html

Decats and interior trim
All pre-95 Z's are tested using the non-catalytic convertor emission test and its data is not on the Emissions database. If your cat sensors is intermittently lighting up the cat heat symbol on your dash then its likely your have a missfire issue when running, alllowing unburnt fuel into the exhaust system. Its better to remove the tweed as then you have templates for cuting the new material. I've never stuck it over the tweed, have always removed first, so not sure how it would affect the overall finish and process. If its a UK TT then its has a precat on the passenger downpipe elbow. If its an Import then it does not.

false advertising perhaps?
Advert is listed correctly. There are many differences between a TT and NA engine and you wouldn't normally expect to have turbos included unless specified. When selling a VG its very important to list which version it is. Typical procedure in that situation is to replace the complete NA engine with a TT engine, and everything associated. Its not a popular conversion here in the UK, because we have pretty much every combo available as Imports and prices are so low, especially these days. But in the U.S, the versions they have available is limited (eg. they never got 2+2 TT or slicktop TT) and values are higher, so its a more popular conversion.

Best place to get Forged Rods + Pistons?
I usually buy from Z1 or ConceptZperformance But have a look at http://www.300zxclub.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=510_519&products_id=2988 , this is the 3zc forum online store, when you buy through them the products are discounted (will need to register with 3zc to get discount first) , but the orders are actually handled and dispatched by Z1, CZP or AMS ...etc

bonnet vent
Same vent, just diff picture angle. if Car.mad used same design as Zcentre (http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21_22_34&products_id=67) then the top part (the bit that sits at the top edge of the bonnet), is raised to create a 2nd vent. So if you turned it around you would end up with a raised bit at the front and that would'nt really work. But there is an Alternative version that allows you to mount it either way : http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21_22_34&products_id=68 Looks better and is more subtle mounted the regular way though IMO ..plus you want hot air to be drawn out, rather than trying to force cold air in. Prob best to speak to car.mad about it.
