Top Gear testing tuned 300ZXs
The "600ZXR" is still around I think, saw some pics of it not long ago. Was built by SE and afaik owned by an employee there. As for skylines, not normally a huge fan of them, but that white one in the JAE show and shine was a seriously awesome looking machine.

Speed HumpS FFS
Unlucky :( I want to know how wozzer gets on with speed ramps lol i've never seen a zed so low :D You should have come along to JAE i'm sure we could have got it fixed, especially since there was a company there selling silicone hoses :p

what Z inspired you?
that looks nice mark, the arches don't look as wide as the paul bailey ones?

Grounding kits...
We will have to disagree on this then, the only use for them in my eyes is for a bit of 'bling'. I've also heard a few people who seem to think they actually have a detrimental effect on the electrics.

grounding kit = gimmick

Has anyone had any emission test problems?
The test zeds have to take is very lenient, can pass no problems even with all the emmission control stuff (cats, EGR, AIV etc..) removed, even with a mega-power engine build like macca's.

FunkySi I guess, there aint too many pearl white ones around, loved his spoiler-less look so ripped mine off. I think he copied me on the wheel style though tbh ;)

Never thought I'd say this about a Clio...
They look great, but they are so impractical, and they had really bad press when they came out, so no.

Club Sponsored Model report for Late Model 300ZX's ???
Its a great idea, being able to bring in 99 spec's would be fantastic, however as AndyP says, the car would have to be bog standard without a single thing changed from the factory, and then all successive imports would have to be identical. The old style ESVA tests were INCREDILY stringent and they were anal about the tiniest details, the newer ones will be 10 times worse.

Dim Dashboard Lights
Getting the dash binnacle out is fairly simple on a zed, need to remove the control pods, top column cover, top lid and lower surround. 15 min job for a newbie, after much trouble with a speedo convertor, I have it down to 5 mins now :p

front caliper noise
Isn't the pad wear limit indicator?

Anyone know anything about ECU's?
Stock coolers on 18psi, thats some major boost i'm very surprised you haven't holed a few pistons allready like that :eek:
-
Anybody Know Any Rough Numbers??
no, in the US the only TT's they had were SWB, they had 2+2 and convertables but they were all NA.

JAE Caption Comp
what chair? ;)

how reliable are these cars?
Lol you don't need to do a search just look at the first page! Just from there we can see about an uncurable misfire, a mystery water leak, a dead master cylinder, broken MAF, broken starter, broken autobox x3 and so on ;)

Because that was essentially a personal insult at ChrisC, quite entitles to start another thread about it but posting in here imo is taking the piss.

Running Issues (AGAIN!)
The coilpack is deffinatly working? If it is, then my educated guess would be no compression :(
-
Running Issues (AGAIN!)
injector sounds fine then, try swapping the plug with another, leave it out overnight though to let the bore dry out. If its been like that for a bit you probably have a bit of bore wash so might be an idea to change the oil.
