how many uk 300 zxs sold
I've been unable to find UK sales figures for the 300zx. Although I do know that The 300zx outsold the Mazda RX7, Toyota Supra, and Honda NSX combined around the world ! ..and that the Z-cars (240z-->350z) are the biggest selling Sports car range in the world. Taking up 35% of the Market segment.

help with engine swap
VH45DE V8 278bhp 292 ib-ft Dramatic Increase ?? Thats about the same for bhp and Torque as the standard TT engine (VG30DETT) Throttle response would be crisper and with a more linear power delivery as mentioned though. Its an appealing idea, and Im looking forward to seeing the results of the V8 conversions currently in progress.

Trim Kit Adhesive Recommendations
Evo Stick Instant Contact Adhesvie. Solvent version. Buy it in a Tin from somewhere like B&Q (you may have to take empty containter to counter, and they then get a full one out of the safe (becuase of solvent abuse). Large tin. Brush it on. About £6 or something like that.

Stock tubs efficiency
The TT uses Hybrid Turbo's, based on the T25 but with slightly smaller Impeller wheels ? Whats the Max boost before they become innefficient..and unreliable ? The reason I ask is that I have a friend looking to buy an Alpina B10 bi-turbo, which uses a Pair of T25 tubs. They come with an In-car boost controller as standard for adjusting boost from 20psi - 26psi. And this is stock, from the factory. Was very suprised.

How did you "come by 300zx.co.uk?"
First discovered it by searching in March 2003 when I badly wanted to buy a zed. Family commitments meant it was'nt possible to buy one at the time. Returned in August 2004 just before finally buying my zed :)

148miles @ 80mph - 33mpg !
Just Travelled from Shell Station near Truro, in cornwall, to my home in Somerset. 148miles exactly. 80mph all the way, with cruise control on. Only switched it off briefly for a couple of roundabouts. £20 (20 litres) Fuel Needle was on the bottom when I filled up, with the petrol light just coming on, and did the same when I got home. 33.6mpg :hyper: :hyper: :bow:

porsche 911 speed
Yep, completely depends on the age and model. It was quicker than the porsches of the same era at its launch. and ofcourse the zed was a 35-40k when new too.

ECU on ebay...
Not really any cheaper than many of the traders sell ECU upgrades for, but with them you know what your getting.
-
Do you think that members who dont pay should get a ban?
is this members who have said they would buy something..then its fallen through and they never bought it. or members who have received goods from a purchase but never paid ? 2 very different things IMO
-
Fastest Year / Model ?
As Chris said. No difference in performance between years...although I think 1995 onwards dropped the Variable valve timing for emissions, which may of affected its performance.
