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.

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.

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.

Inherited a 300ZX
It's not so much that the Jap spec is missing stuff as the the UK/Euro version came fully loaded, only the full fat 2+2 twin turbo targa was available here with uprated suspension, oil coolers everywhere(it even has diff and powersteering coolers) all the toys. Jap spec cars can be pretty variable in thier spec year on year and what the orginal owner paid for. They paid out for the auto box so maybe they paid for more upgrades.

2014 work in progress
That's an issue close to everyone's heart Noel, I think he has a complex plan to hang speakers off the roll cage like a rock concert audio set up, alternatively he has also thought about purchasing an iPod which seems at current to save weight and money, it's just his race overals are a bit tight for it to fit in his pocket, may have to settle for an iPod shuffle.

Pipe size from turbos
Stock size is 2", most aftermarket exhausts are 2.5" but 3" are available for even more gains. Where are you replacing from?

Supermarkets
Do you? I fuel up about 3xs a week and never have to ask, sainsburys even give you a VAT without asking.
