Speedo Still Don't Work
have you removed the speed resistor from when it used jap clocks? it may well be a fault in the printed circuit board on the back? im guessing there. however, you can easily disasemble the clocks and pop them in so it may well be work popping the uk speedo out of the cluster putting it in the jap spec cluster. im not sure if that can work, but its worth having a look into. im sure somebody said to me if your rough with the cluster it ****s them up.

hubcentric spacer suitability
been looking at these spacers they are not the full hub centric ones rather ones with a bore size and longer studs which is obvioulsy better than the simple slid eon type but not full on hibcentric. i prefer this idea for the pure reason that the actual bolts that are holding your wheels to the hub are easily inpected. no removing the wheel to check. my only reservation is the strength of the stud itself supplied with this kit. opinions please guys? should i use a differmt set of studs? the 15mm on these is a perfect size for me. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hubcentric-Wheel-Spacer-Kit-16mm-Nissan-200SX-240SX-S14-S15-5-x-114-PCD-66-1mm-/280838623315?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item4163495053

18's without lowering
The rim diameter has no effect on ride height, as the overall/rolling diameter is the same.

wheel offset
5x100 wouldnt fit either mate z are 5x114 the 350z rays will fit, but the standard tyres your speedo will be out.
-
alloys and offsets?
It makes sense when you think of it. The offset of 0 means dead centre mounting face, so if you pull that back back in toeards the car causing negartive offset. Opposite flr positive.

boost jets
i would like to see some quater mile times with na vs tt rears and stock vs chip and boost etc. realistically whats gonna be quicker a chipped standard tt or a non chipped one with an na rear end. i would expect if your running like 16 psi with an na rear end you will spend most of 0 to 40 spinning up? loosing accelration and therefore time?

few questions about about my.new zed lol
manual conversions arnt hard just long winded. and in reguards to teh hicas leak, the hicas and power steering are the same source of fluid so both need to be investigated. if it leaks at standstill the its probally on the low pressure side of things ie the felxible stuff. rtaher than the metal ended ones. if it only leaks with the engine on then its likly the opposite. best thing to do is look for the red droplets. or areas of gunk. common failure points are the front seal of the p/s pump, the high pressure line at the bottom of the engine(the metal corrodes) the join between the pas pot feed and the pump, lots of heat and movement i suppose takes its toll. mine was actually leaking from the o rings under the feed tbe that feeds both halves of the pump. hth

wheel alignment
after lowering my car and fitting differnt wheels and pissing about the settings are all a little off. one of the rears has a touch of positive camber i recon. but last time i had the alignment done im pretty sure it was set up as a z31. anyways what are the best compromise settings on the stock adjustments for the car, just for fast road use?
