200sx tie rods fitting the 300zx?
unfortunatly they arnt the same, i think it was an s13 i looked at. maybe s14s are different i dont know however, the one i tried was too short, the pinion was the correct size the thread was correct it was just too small via about 2 inches in length.

the debate, keep or sell
what coilovers have you got? some are harsher than others. and what ride height you running? maybe it just needs setting up better softer settings may transform the cr to a more comfortable ride.

200sx tie rods fitting the 300zx?
yeah thats what i seemed to work out from it, that the arm or tie rod itself varied according to the car which makles sense but nissan had used the same tie rod ends. il take the old one in with me to compare, only way to know i suppose.

200sx tie rods fitting the 300zx?
they look the same and are half the price? and available off the shelf. im gonna try and compare them upclose to check but atm it looks like they are the same, which also makes them the same as a huge long list of nissans.

What's a sensible boost for a 300zx on stock engine?
safety boost is 7psi roughly stock boost is 9psi roughly many will run 12 psi stock running 14psi on a stock engine requires a chipped ecu. you could run a max of 16 psi on stock injectors and a chipped ecu, stock tubs and injectors prevent you going beyond 370 bhp. thats those "facts" as they are generally accepted. where the rest of it came from i dunno, but yeah running 10psi is marginally over stock.

Car insurance probe
fortunatly now ive turned 25 the zed is much much cheaper, but i was paying 2k a year for a 1.6 suzuki when i first passed absolute madness! and im still being quoted 500 odd quid for a 1.1 fiesta sdp only with 4 years no claims.
-
Car insurance probe
i may cause a drop for 6 months butr nothing long lasting or worth its weight. same as all this black box and camera buisness within afew years they will be the normal prices much the same as tehy are now and those without will pay a premium for not having it rather than those who having making a saving. sorry to be a cinic but car insurance esp for the young is a simple riff off, use it you wont get it again and dont have it you will not get it again so your forced to pay out huge sums for a car tahts worth squat only to be legal, and then if something happens you still end up pulling moneyu out your pocket from massive excesses etc

Whats the next step for my Zed?
bolting bigger tubs on a 20 year old block is probally going to prove false ecconomy. so you would ideally be looking at a rebuild before pushing through the 450 barrier etc. you may well get a good gain with biogger injectors and intercoolers allowing you to run higher boost safely without risk of det. however you are going to be running damn close to the usefull part of the turbo, ie it will be running outta puff. you could hit 400 on bigger injectotrs etc 370 odd would be the limit without doing further upgrades to the supporting system.
