Chinese Police leave street racers body in street
China is a pretty backwards place still, human life isn't worth much. So I'm not really surprised or shocked. I do however HATE the term, "boy racer" tag. It's lost all meaning in recent years.

Just bought my first 300zx and new to forum
Hello and welcome, pictures are the law. Il say it before anyone else, new car, slippery autum roads, please be carefull. The 300zx can catch you off guard in the conditions, they bite hard and fast. So take it easy. What spec is it, year etc, guess by the t it's a turbo model.

Of corse, it's a celebration of the marque not necessarily the cars made that year. - - - Updated - - - Good idea, currently very little is occurring.

Back in the UK for short period to liquidat - RE: my High Spec 300zx - Todays Values?
It can only only be imported to France if it's a uk/euro spec. Something to do with their rules, a Jspec doesn't comply, that and the fact that the French are plain awkward.

Help with wheels and tyres
As above so even though the profile number is different the tyre wall shouldn't be as the widths are different.

Sadly - Another One Bites The Dust
Real shame that, vultures will likely circle very quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if the usual suspects buy it up for tuppence claiming they want to repair it and conveniently declare it beyond repair and break another car.

Motorway speed limit to be raised "official"
Oh that's a given, but at least the road is actually there in the first place.

Motorway speed limit to be raised "official"
Exactly right. They do like to line their own pockets first. Bournemouth whilst larger than its neighbouring City Southampton has been denied it's city status. The reason for this? Some archaic thing about cathedrals? Nope, it's to do with dual constituencies. Many of them would earn less money as they wouldn't be able to take there current two payslips. The fact that the "city" would far better off financially isn't in their radar. They would rather spend £70k on a blue Las Vegas style welcome to bmth sign, over the top of the over stretched pot holed dual carriageway, nice one dickeads.

Motorway speed limit to be raised "official"
You gotta bear in mind simon the government themselves couldn't give s rats arse about the south and South west. Out of sight out of mind. Look at the motorway network, everything facilitates London and the middle north. There's no motorways in Dorset, not one. Bristol takes me twice the time to reach as London. This isn't a coincidence. As long as Johnny fat cat can get from his head office in London to his offices up north, full of civil servants, he doesn't give a damn that your hick ass gets stuck in traffic on a poorly maintained road. After all as one wealthy chap explained to me a while back, "no one lives in the countryside, everyone lives and works here in London." Even the m4 and m5 that tickle these areas, the soca (English FBI) head quarters are in Exeter and think what's in Swansea...

Motorway speed limit to be raised "official"
I do agree, however bear in mind what's been in the uk press this week. 20% of serious accidents involve the under 25s and they therefore wish to implement a higher age restriction on the test as well as curfews. As the as spokes man said you cannot blame them, if they passed the criterior for your test, your test is not adequate. Personally I think it's likely a gross misuse of statistics. I see ALOT of accidents and I mostly just see people, no perticular age range or sex. However and this is where it's topical the amount if stupid accidents is unbelievable. This does, as with the other things I see suggest to me that the average British driver is ifs poor standard. Our road network is in thirty very safe. One theory is maybe our roads are a bit too safe, which breeds complacency and stupidity. Think how often you see someone do something and go, you shouldn't be driving!

Hi Cas elimination - what is the advantage of this?
Without too much detail, hicas only really helps in an over taking or salom scenario. When we talk about corners not so much. Sadly it creates excessive play often, equally many find it a bit dim witted. You tend to react quicker that it does and an over correction occurs. It's personal choice in all fairness, but most Motorsport focused z32s have deleted it.

Tyre porn
I love it, that's why I like lambo. Not these mercilargos, galardos etc but the mental ones, proper hyper cars.

With that profile Dave? Pretty sure they have a bit more sidewall.

Removing main ecu engine loom
Yeah there should be a sub harness on the new manual shell, if there isn't you will have to use the old converted one.

Good on you man.

Tyre porn
I bet they are shit! That's a super super wide wheel, I think the widest I've ever seen on a sports car is 310. With that profile and being 24" I honestly can't imagine what car would use them standard.
