Brembos - GTR or not???
Brembo make calipers, they make a selection of them with different piston variations and bodies to accommodate. Essentially a 4 pot with x diameter pistons will be the same body. The legs then vary to accommodate the fitment. This is why the seals and pads are so interchangeable. From a quick picture they will all look the same. All you need to know is if the lugs are spaced correctly, i.e. Share the same hole centres and the intended disc spec. What where they sold to you as and did you get the discs?

later injector swap
There a different shape Jay, the new style are squatter I believe. So you will need an adapter if you have the early 30P/40P heads and fuel rails.

Fitting wind deflectors
I'm thinking of fitting some to my van actually. (Wind deflectors) Why? Because I don't have air con and in summer rain I want the window cracked to let the heat out without rain coming in.

Day running lights
Whilst I wouldn't do it, if you wish to this is the way forward. Any switched live that is activated by the ignition. As above it will need to be fused and will need a suitable gauge supply cable and earth. If LED this could be pretty darn small.

Hi. I'm new here
The following two garages are used by many members and have good reputations, LA Autos (Lee Dent) and Powerzed (Jimmer) the later being the only 300zx specialist in the country now. Zcentre certainly had a preferred mechanic that they recommended, they in themselves are a parts supplier though. Other people have done work focusing on 300zx's with very variable results. Many members here have been stung by "experts" learning on thier cars and at times causing more harm than good. So it's highly recommended to use a trusted and experienced specialist as your average garage won't have the ability to carry out the work. A specialist has the short cuts and tooling to do the job the best way and will often be no more expensive. Make of this what you will but careful who's hands you put your car in, make of this what you will. - - - Updated - - - But first, let me take a selfie...

What did you do to your zed today?
Cheers for the clarification there Jeff. There is another as well isn't there, the Sierra XR 4x4 which had a Cologne v6 that cosworth had had thier way with which was known as the 2.9 BOA. It had that little extra window at the back.

What did you do to your zed today?
agreed but I'd take an RS2000 any day.

What did you do to your zed today?
Two different cars there Gary, ones a Serria RS Cosworth and 4wd, worth very strong money the Second is a Serria Saphire Cosworth rwd and less rare/desired but commanding stronger and stronger money.

Yup running. Non running you'd get 12v dc which tells you, by much.

Timing belt help
:lol: one truth in life is that no matter how much you earn you will still be broke.

Timing belt help
Bet it's cheaper than it is for us though...
-
Misfire...Again.
No, the Injector harness is perminent live with a switched earth from the ECU. Simply shoving the meter probes up it on 12v dc won't help. I believe from memory you must put the negative from your MM to a suitable ground and the positive on the plug with the MM on 12v AC as it's a pulse signal.

Have you tested the connection to the injectior yet, these fail quite readily.

Turbo Question(s)
What's rather important though is that the engine is in a state that's going to allow even the best turbos to not smoke. I'd hate to see anyone stump up 2k on turbos to still have smoke because the engine itself is junk.

Turbo Question(s)
I can't really answer that for you. It's cheaper to rebuild stockers but not by much, obviously if you want a stock car then it's obviously an option. New ones from the states would be better though. T28 turbos feature a design revision to the exhaust seal (so I'm told by my local specialist) and it's a fairly nice upgrade to have your turbos modified in this way. If you have the desire and wallet more extreme options are available but in all seriousness a mild upgrade to t28 internals should provide more than enough potential for a road focused car.
