How Fast my car?
Potentially mid 4secs 0-60 ....getting a 0-60mph time lower than mid 4's is more about traction than power. I recorded a 0-60 of 4.7 secs, and 0-100 of 11.9 secs on my old 2+2 TT Manual with 14psi. (and 5.6 and 14.1 respectively on stock boost). Yep...although in my experience the NA loves to be revved and makes the most of taking it close to the limiter, whereas the TT does benefit from an earlier gear change

Wheel width? whats best with big brakes?
nope. A 330mm kit will fit under "some" 17's , but recomended 18's, so I would imagine you would have a very hard time finding 17's to fit the 350mm kit. The spoke design and offset plays a big part in which wheels will fit. Some 18's wont fit either.

Lovely car
Its not for me. If I wanted Large saloon style sports coupe it wouldn't choose a vauxhall.

8.5 front with 9.5 rear is a popular choice. Any wider and you risk problems with clearances.

Help, detonation sensor circuit.
No, it wont have any affect on the autobox. It will however put the ECU in safety mode and will be down considerably on power.

Datascan or Conzult
The conzult lead is specific to conzult only, while the datascan lead will work in all ECU software applications available, except conzult. Both are great products. Both offer the same features - ECU diagnostics, Sensor readouts ...etc IMO Conzult is a better workshop/garage tool, while Datascan is a better Zed enthusiast tool. What I mean by that is that Conzult is more expensive and includes extra features such as Hicas and Aircon diagnostics that could be userfull to a garage but not really used much by your typical enthusiast, whereas Datascan has a better interface for displaying sensor readings (gauge displays) and has features such as Performance measuring (0-60mph ..etc).

Its alive !!
LOL Too right. Finished everything needed to turn the key this afternoon and she fired into life...albeit on 3 cylinders in typical fashion but will sort that tomorrow :) Its not quite moving yet, as I need to rebuild the rear subframe and arms that I have been Polybushing and then bolt that all up with the new Diff, but that will be done by next weekend. Then I will actually drive it for the first time ever :eek:....... Then its off to the bodyshop :nana2:

1999 imports?
You can Import a 99spec anytime you want. There have been a few in the country for a while now (Craig David ^^^ has one already)...but ever since they changed the law in 2002 (i think it was 2002) any car younger than 10yrs required a SVA test and to have an SVA test there must be a model report on the vehicle available. The 300zx does not have a model report, so its not been possible to register one on the road until its 10 yrs old. The first 99spec's started in late 98, so at the end of this year it will be possible to register the earlier versions.

1999 imports?
Lee/Import-ance has said he is looking into it...although currently tempoarily banned from forum at moment. Apparently they still hold there prices really well in Japan and prices seemed to be in the £10-14k region when mentioned previously......more than a newer 350z
