car supposed to be limited??
The car has a Nismo 300km/h speedo fitted? I guess it does 'cos stock goes to 180. In this case the ECU will have the limiter disabled, no reason why you would fit a 300k speedo if you weren't going to derestrict it.

popping through exhaust
sounds like the over run fuel cut has been disabled to me, nothing sinister.

my final tuning session with steve at fc tuning
Same reason any dyno graph doesn't cross at 5252, because the scales are not the same.

What's my zed worth?
I didn't put pics because I didn't want to be accused of putting up a sly for sale thread, which I have been anyway. http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd35/clarkey726/300zx/ I don't want this deleted so please, no offers.

really? I have to say, I don't come on here much any more. I don't really appreciate coming back on to ask a simple question to then be given shit straight away by the mods. Used to be a cool place.

What's my zed worth?
Seems to be a large range in the prices I'm seeing in the FS section here, so i'm unsure on values these days. It's a 91 JDM, 2+2 auto TT, ~110,000km, pearl white. Had very little use and been garaged since it came off the boat in 2001 so the body doesn't have any rust at all. Has leather, original deep pile mats, targa bags. Full 60k service was done a while ago, only done 50 miles since then though. New cam belt, waterpump, v belts, all that stuff. 18" wheels, 7mm tread all round. Bad parts.. Rear spoiler is ****ed, needs replacement. Drivers door dented and scratched. Drivers seat bolster worn. Is it going to be worth 2k?

Happy Birthday Clarkey
Thanks guys :)

Air con, con?
You got any more info on this? Mine makes a god awful noise. Had a spare compressor for ages but never been bothered to fit it. If I can just swap the pulley/clutch and it will be fixed then that's ideal.

Interesting bodykit....
It's horrendous, FunkySi got it spot on.

let's not forget about the Balboni ;)

what should temp gauges read in winter?
in the lower of the 2 hard pipes, bit of a pain in the ass to access really.

Thats much too cold mate, you'll not be doing the engine any favours by running it cold like that. It'll probably running 'on choke' all the time too, pissing away your fuel and giving you a nice dose of bore wash. New 'stat time, you'll need to replace the coolant and bleed after that anyway so don't worry about that. Normal running temp should be about 190-195 Farenheit.

Gear ratios help?
FD is 3.692 on a TT, isn't it, 4.083 is the NA ratio.
-
Worst Z32 spoiler?
close one between this and that f'kin awful Viper thing from zcentre ;)
-
UK spec standard wheels - offset please
Is it not stamped in the back side of the wheel?
-
Got a new steering wheel.
Daytona is awful, Race just doesn't suit the car too well. Stock one would be best.
-
from this.........to this
looking much better already :nelson:
-
Top Gears Zed had a broken diff! Correct?
It's only a viscous unit, not a 2way clutchpack lol don't expect too much from it.
-
Rear reg plate size??
Japanese plates are actually 13x6.5" (330x165mm).

Top 10: fast but cheap summer convertibles
they are talking about the targa though, who knows why they have a photo of a convertible next to it?
-
no mot or tax, legal implications
Yep, fine so long as the test is booked but you should only drive it straight back home after. Expect to get pulled too, that ANPR business is shit hot, I got pulled within a minute of joining the M5 the other week driving back from MOT.

CVT is the future ;) Gears are so old fashioned :p

Insurance.
have you actually rang them and asked? It seems highly unusual that they would not give you a refund?
-
Automatic
The car you are talking about sounds like a knackered old shed tbh. Worth it for less than 1k I guess if you want to spend 3k on it to get it up to scratch, or you could just buy a tidy manual for 4k.
