99spec 300zx
whats up with the panels you had fabbed? if theyre not upto scratch go back to them and get them to redo or adjust them. if that's not possible get the whole car trailered there to be welded on. it all depends what you want, do you want the factory shape or simpy a curved piece of plate welded into there to fill the void. It really shouldn't be a big job for a proper fabrication shop. Did you know that the roofs and panels of aston martins certainly up until recently where hand made from flat sheet on a jenni wheel? ive seen men make a bloody jug out of a flat piece of copper, making a curved peiece of metal the right shape and welding it in its rats piss for the right person.

tt 300zx whats it worth import low miles few mods

clutch
odd as the neutral switch is located on the box itself as you know. I didn't bother with the clutch pedal switch as ive shorted out the relay completely during the conversion, I don think many people bother hooking up the switch.

clutch
The clutch reservoir is located by the brake master cylinder, you simply look at it and see what the fluid level is. the switches, on the clutch there's one that disables the starter relay, this stops you starting the car in gear.. :) - - - Updated - - - or rather without the clutch down

tt 300zx whats it worth import low miles few mods
It's so hard to value, your essentially saying here's a bag with something in it how much do you think its worth?.. so I guess its down to you to be able to think about the value yourself. However as said I certainly wouldn't want to part with more than a grand for a car with no clutch or exhaust. Unless it had something fresh under the bonnet that I could closely examine.

what injectors you on?
-
Cyclinder 4 Help!
yeah new ones a few hundred quid from the states...that's why I say if you've got the budget, its most likely jiggered anyways. However you would need to be sure its loom related before you go splashing that cash, often replacing the pig tails is good enough to limp it on. Mines crap, but it does work, I know its coming one day.

wheel spacer argument, opinions please...
Its the cheap slip on spacers that cause issues, proper hubcentrics as said aregoing to be fine. You can go with a branded name such as ebacih.if you please for sensible money.

Cyclinder 4 Help!
Really if you've got to the point of isolating the issue to the looms, spark or fuel cabling, you've got to make your way back and do continuity tests on the wires, test the PTU etc etc. if it was the CAS at fault or that side id expect to have more than one miss, I'm not 100% how it works but I'm fairly sure the CAS side is 4 connections then the PTU divides it into 6 connections. So logically the issue if its spark cabling related its PTU and forward to the cylinders. If you've got the budjet and the original EFI harness then it would probably be sensible to change it regardless, they get jiggered under that bonnet.

Cyclinder 4 Help!
Halfords do them yeah you need the one with a long hose to reach the plug. Theres only 3 things required spark, fuel and compression, after that its all down to timing. a process of elimination really. I would wonder if this is a classic issue with the loom, broken or damaged cabling. The injector is good, plugs good coil packs good if compression is good, and all the others are firing correctly its unlikely timing to me that says the signal to the inj es ctor or coil ids duff.
