1990
I have both, and there really is a massive difference at all speeds! NA is more economical around town but TT more economical on motorway journey(if you stay off boost). Can't garauntee it will be any more reliable (I've found both to be very reliable), but you dont ever have to worry about the cost of new turbos with an NA. The NA has all the looks but is cheaper to buy, cheaper to insure (if you go to the right places) and a bit safer for those not used to RWD power.

Big Wheels on standard suspension
KYB do make springs (K-flex) but I did'nt think they made them for the 300zx. Which is why everyone goes with Eibach springs on KYB shocks. You may find that whatever springs are on there are a lot lower then Eibachs....you certainly would'nt scrape speedhumps with eibachs. The tein flex is a superb setup, but at almost three times the stock spring rate they wont offer the GT Comfy ride I think your after even on lthe very softest settings. Stock spring rate : 2.8 kg (156 lb) Eibach spring rate : Progressive Front (185-250 lb) Tein flex : 8kg/mm (336 lb)

boot gas struts
..or remove the ugly stock one and go smooth or aftermarket ;) 90% of them get damaged on removal, and those that have resprayed them find they start to crack again after a couple of months.

No Nissan 300ZX.
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Hmm...well before puchasing the zed I was looking at the Audi A4 V6 Quattro, Bmw e36 M3, Bmw e34 M5, Porsche 928gts.... but I've changed my mind since and it would probably be a V8 powered 240z/280z or a very early Mustang (prob eleanor lookalike) for myself, and something prestige for the wife.

Whats my car worth for insurance quote
I guess it depends on how much insurance you currently pay..to decide wether its worth the cost. Most owners over 30 pay less than £400 a year Ins on a limited mileage classis policy.

Running cables from the boot to the dashboard
Take the 12v Directly from the the Battery. 8 Guage cableing should be fine with an inline fuse no more than 50cm from the Battery. Take the earth from a good chassis point in the boot. Make sure the Invertor is regulated to keep a constant 12v......voltage spikes from the engine especially during engine starts can range from 6v to 18v. p.s Have you checked the Space save tyre space, its not as deep as you would expect and has a big metal mount in the middle of it.

Running cables from the boot to the dashboard
Run your Power cables down one sill, under the carpet. speaker cables down the other side, and your VGA & USB cables through centre console. Centre console is very easy to remove. Start with the Stereo DIN cover (2 screws at top, clips at bottom), that will reveal 2 more screws for the gearstick surround area. There is also a screw under the ashtray. Then you remove that piece to discover a couple of more screws, plus some under the thin carpet in centre armrest storage space. Let me know if I can be of any help with the Carputer side of things.

Big Wheels on standard suspension
Its the springs that dictate the ride height, not the shocks. Do you know what springs it has? Im sure we have members with lowering springs and 19" wheels. If you have a particulaly low spring height, then I would try a set of Eibachs. p.s LOVE those wheels !!

Can people say what they want on a forum?
Its not about freedom of speech, its about the simple fact that he broke a rule in the AUP . The Ban was then increased from 1 week to 1 month due to an offensive email to Mac (another AUP rule broken). The AUP is set-out and on display to all members. Its there for many reasons and is simple to follow.
