My Z is finally taking shape
I think they are all most all made by the same Chinese company, then repainted and rebranded

What ones you got baz? I haven't fitted mine yet but they seem to have loads of adjustment.

My Z is finally taking shape
Certainly is, very jealous of it mate. I need mine rolled too, can't sort the camber out on the rear or it will eat the rears, she's getting rather low.

My Z is finally taking shape
I lived with it for about a year or so, but I really felt it made the car look significantly longer and lanky, soon as the 89 went on my car instantly shrunk and looked more muscular.

I'd say bang a 89 spec rear spoiler on there, as it's my favourite. However, being a genuine 99 car that would seem silly, smooth can work generally on swb only though. - - - Updated - - - Have you rolled those arches then baz?

She's certainly a looker baz.

wheel colour
Just choose a slightly darker silver. My old car, the centres were "anthracite" looked wayyyy lighter than coal to me though, it was more a metallic grey. They looked lovely. You posted a pic the other day, where the new tyre was resting on the wheel casting some shade in the wheel, that looked great. I too don't personally like chrome or silver centres, esp on a light colour like red, black, dark blues etc yeah but whites, light reds etc nope.

Bye-bye tax disc
You wait rich, some big wig will decide to make it an offence to display the old tax disc next...£60 on the spot fine, they can't resist the irony of that can they?

2014 work in progress
Great minds think alike there, the diff is by far the heaviest part as you already by no doubt know.

Bye-bye tax disc
Mines staying put, only because I'm too lazy to remove it.

Bye-bye tax disc
Oh for gods sake, it's a bit of old tat £2k for a bit of what was last year rubbish.

Thanks to Noz!
Nope video link doesn't work.

shocks
Yup but they are simply waiting to be fitted.

thinking about heat sheilds
The stock manifolds have heat shields on them. I think I read it's not very good for the turbo to insulate it too much as it can damage it. I only have two heatsheilds left, one above the exhaust mid pipes to reduce cabin temperatures and one by the brake master. I binned the rest a while ago.

Well done Bobgenie 10.92
Fantastic time! Hopefully bob will chime in and maybe there's a video.

Pheasant vs aerial, dammit
Yeah just the breast, not much meat. Partridge is nice, as is alligator and ostrich. My very favourite is deer.

Squirters
I to have been thinking about this, the ones on my van are amazing, the sit under the bonnet and spray out a fan. Much better than a lame water pistol jet.

Z32 300zx runs a 9.69 @ 139mph with a stock vg30dett longblock!
That's right, in America of corse. A z32 with a stock longblock converted to a single turbo is running 9s and doing wheelies. Video below; The build thread is available here, you will need to be a 300zxclub.com registered user, many of you already are. http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=168005

page gone weired on phone
I do it occasionally, on the bottom left if the page is a box, normally it has element blue fluid written in it, accidentally change that and it will change the layout.

Latest opinions on ES polybushes please...
If your that worried about a comfortable ride, then utilise new stock bushes in areas like what Joel has highlighted and avoid rose jointed arms, stay with stock wheels or choose a 17" wheel to retain more sidewall, don't go for harsh coilovers but choose your suspension with your aim in mind. Alternatively you could buy a Jag :P My car is going to be pretty unforgiving, it already is but I've chosen to go that way I'm happy to sacrifice comfort for handling, I don't drive it everyday.

Beautiful!

these will fill the arches
If you want to close the gap between the top of the tyre and the arch, it's lowering you need. If you want the wheel to poke out mores out doesn't appear sunken, then it's offset you need to change. Of corse the smaller the gap the more likely the wheel will hit the arch, known as rubbing. It might be fine day still but hitting a bump mid corner may be rather different.
