The Bandit has gone
Very sad. An odd career of booms and busts with very little film critic praise but lots of money made. I believe he’s literally just finished a film that he was very proud of and thought it was the pinnacle of his acting career. 82 isn’t too bad though. RIP Burt.

Heat Matrix hoses - RHD and LHD the same?
They are about £40 each from the main dealer. I brought a pair when I first got the carcas one split and it made sense to do both. Absolute rip off for a rubber hose, pretty sure you can get aftermarket silicone ones for cheaper. In fact; https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-silicone-heater-core-hoses-p-3097.html $25!

300ZX brake upgrade
Should be able to fit 350z discs and calipers behind there which are pretty much bolt on firmer and do not mess the bias up too much. Any more than that and you will as Howard says need bigger wheels, you also don’t need anything more than that. Even though you will notice an improvement the Brakes on your 370z will still be better and this is a larger design issue than merely the calipers themselves which you’d be hard pushed to changed.

Revolfe Tuning Japan
I’ve got plenty of words to go with spending 400 a corner on wheels with no tyres and cheap isn’t one of them.

Revolfe Tuning Japan
They are nice. £400 a corner or something stupid I bet.

Z owners living in deep SouthWest.
There’s none on here I don’t think. I’ve seen one or two, there are two that live in Torquay but very thin on the ground in Devon & Cornwall. The eastern parts of the West Country, Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire there’s a few more kicking about.

Is this for the vert or the slicktop?

Cambelt change
You’d assume so but that’s what the tooth count is for to double check. See here; https://300zx.co.uk/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=em&dir=&config=&refresh=&direction=forward&scale=0&cycle=off&slide=18&design=default&total=70

That looks more like it. Have you done the tooth count?

Storm Force Luxury Outdoor Car Cover
That’s pretty naff Joel. The Halfords one I have has withstood some serious weather. It’s pretty good for the money however the first one I had had to be exchanged as it rotted after a year.

What have you been quoted for the G4 out of interest Si.

On a road trip for a forged engine.
Yeah I know, it was more for the benifit of people reading, maybe finding this thread via the search facility and thinking they need 740s.

On a road trip for a forged engine.
It’s probably worth pointing out that on stock turbos and uk pump fuel you’d be doing well to max out the 370cc stock injectors.
-

Oh right, I’d also thought 615s where about $100 cheaper.
-

What’s the reasoning behind the 740s over the 615s Si?

Is it just a stock rebuild lee or something more exciting?

Who Is America
I haven’t watched it. I saw the advert and saw Trump, America it’s on channel 4, I can see where this is going and it’s boring.

Scared the SH*T out of me !!!
I’ve had this in an old ford. Doing 70mph, braked, felt a weird squirm. Tried again instinctively, nothing. Fortunately it was manual and it was all quite safe, but pretty hairy.

What car do you intend to put it into? The weight would concern me more.

Help identifying function of spare plug / connector
EGR is a valve on the back of the block. The PRV and AIV are separate solenoids. Each has its own plug.

Cambelt change
Odd it shouldn’t be. You set the engine to 0TDC then the belt has arrows to donate faceing. The lines line up with each sprocket mark. Personally I thought that’s what makes it so straightforward. It’s done now though isn’t it. Have you done the tooth count as per the FSM and set the tension? The PRFK6 11C are correct.
