Rear subframe bushings
I'd personaly got for Poly, the alloy ones woud transmit noise and vibration through the car. This is apparantly a very major job to change these bushes. THe whole rear subframe must be dropped and stripped.

car stereo problems
Halfords sell the Harness, you'll also need the Aerial adaptor which they normally have to order in. As far as Im aware the Uk and Jap adaptors is the same, but there may be a difference if you have the Bose amp option. You could always cut and rejoin them if it became a problem.

What is faster?
Thats very poorly running example, since its 0-60 is a second slower than other UK tested Zeds, and its 0-100 is 2.5 seconds slower.
-
What is faster?
I think we already said that the stock Supra was quicker than stock zed. However, as already mentioned earlier. The Supra runs 11.5psi with bigger injectors , and the 300zx 9.5 psi. Call it an excuse if you will, but with the zed up to the same equal boost pressure thats going to affect those times.

Comes as standard on Black cars ;) :rofl:

What is faster?
wether or not US spec Supra's put out 360 at the fly or not is of no concern, as we only get Uk and Jap spec here and that is what we are comparing.
-
What is faster?
The "inflated" american HP claims quote was becuase all to often we see two similar spec modified Zed's on each side of the pond claiming very differnet power outputs. Like 800bhp in the U.S....600bhp here.
-
60-100 mph
0-60 is about .5 second of, and about 1 second off for the 0-100...for UK Tested 300zx's. But that was a Wet road test.

Advice in buying my 300ZX new in the UK
Welcome :) Mot - A Yearly test done on all cars 4 years and older. Its basically a yearly Safety check. SVA - A more thourough test thats required on all Imported cars that less than 10 years old. If you want to get a fresh import, there are plenty of reputable importers, and plenty of unreputable importers. However there are plenty of Zeds to choose from already in the country for sale. The SWB (2 seater) is rarer, but you should'nt have too much trouble getting hold of the right one. Insurance ranges immensely, and there are hundreds of insurance companies to choose from. Expect to pay anything from £200 - £2000 a year, depending on many circumstances (age probably being the most important).
