Putting TT man cams in an auto n/a?
i have to say i agree with smithy, i remember building my old engine which i fitted high lift cams to, it did increase peak power but shifted the whole power balance more suited to track than road. and it idled like crap. theres alot to consider when changing cams mostly what you really want to gain from the process, as changing cams isnt really a first stop shop to gaining more power more a compliment to something else. im not sure about the vg but the last engin ei pulled the cams on the head had to come off and new bearing pressed in each time and machined. imo for the gains your talking its a waste of time you would gain far better from other mods. that would be easier and cheaper.

Very Loud Whine On Boost, Death Whine?
they just dont know the ins and outs of the vg lump, and because its so tight they get put off. but at least the admitted they dont wanna get involved rtahre than pretending they can do it and ****ing it up. as has already been said its probally a leaking line or a rust hole. best thing to do is get under there and clean it all up. with that amount coming out you will so see what its coming out of. take a pic we can identify it and then go from there as to how to replace it.

My z for sale for £100 no joke
i think if you made it £50 and aimed to sell 100 tickets you would find it easier as moany more people will take a chance on £50 but a hundred nah.. and 100-1 is still pretty good odds.

What's a UK manual 300ZX Twin turbo worth??
i would agree around the 5-6k mark would be a realistic price as said though buyers a far and few between. having said that a stock car will always be worth more in the long run. just enjoy the car for what it is, as im sure you know making cars make money is generally a fools game. keep it stock keep it mint sit on it one day it will be worth money.

spigot bearing removal
the other suggestion they came up with is to tap wind in a bolt or a bolt attached to a slide hammer. :)

er.....kinda new
swear i saw that car in banzai once. not keen on those rims always thought they were odd looking other than that it was a really nice car mate. as for your zed predicament, i wouldnt be to quick to right off a tt. many insurance companies charge less.... believe it or not. and fuel consumption isnt that differnt with mixed driving. on a long run on duals and motorways a tt will be better on fuel. sadly an na is far easier to work on and generally more reliable due to being cooler running and more spacious engine wise.

Cruise controler ??
why bother you will never use it. most remove it, i recomissioned mine last year ive used it once to see if it works. taht was when the football was on and everyone was at home. you cant drive along like that in this country becaus eof the way others drive your constantly dropping outta cruise. also it uses more fuel.
