Has anyone had these before?
speak to manta or jamie they have made them fit i didnt bother, when we had a meet a few months back i was saying i wasnt 100% happy with the fitment but as ultimateray and hellraiser said at the time im just being over picky. a few people have commentated on the issue though. it really isnt anything bad. have a look for the thread with my new back end you will see them on.

a few of us have the red over clear versions, dont think anyone has the red over smoke though yet, few issues with fitment, they dont follow the body lines 100% but thats just being picky. they do look awesome on though

Respray Colour?
agreed it almost looks platinium, i like it

A bit more done.....
have you just vynaled the tops or have you inlaid it in the ttop channeling aswel? that is the only thing putting me off doing it, i had decided i was gonna paint it all so it doesnt look silly when i remove the ttops. i know what you mean about the cystals they dont quite sit right do they. ive learnt to live with it though.

15 inch rims on z32
i recon you would have issues with even stock caliper clearance, plus the decrease in diameter without the decrease in tyre diameter(to prevent all that sidewall slop) you would end up with tiny diamter wheels that will spin up for a passion. not to mention speedo issues which obviously are less important to yourself, but may effect the variable speed power steering response.

how much does a ZX TT Weigh? and what weighs what?
agreed on the seats thing ive not moved mine since i first set it. i like the option but its such a heavy waste of power. plus replacing them with agood set of buckets will probally be cheaper than second hand oem or having them refurbed.

Z32 Banger Demolition Car!
yeh, fair point theyre pretty tough on impact, i recon theres just too much to go wrong though, look at most of the most popular bangers there mostly things like capris, etc. big old engine with carbs and very little in the way of eletrics to go wrong. hell look how much of an issue occurs when a bit of the loom moves around a touch... lol be fun though for a few minutes

Z32 Banger Demolition Car!
i recon the zed would make a crap banger racer esp a tt becaus eof the nature of the engine layout the rad isnt protected well neither are teh intercoolers, theres not much metal between the front and the front of the engine

blowing brake light bulbs
ok, sounds good to me. and yeh i think tahst what they did exactly, however they have ended up wiring the sidelights up as fogs. whilst where on the subject can i use an led subsitue for the indicators as i feel they really arnt bright enough in day time.

turbo change with engine in car with gearbox removed
ian i think you should pull the block and the box at the same time then, you can do it properly and cahnmge all those annoying little old hoses etc. it will also make fitting the new flywheel and bolting the box up far easier as its easier to align on the deck than a foot off the floor with the heavy box on your chest. just my two pence worth. also i swear we discussed this before and it was aid yeh its possible but it takes just aslong and if you do get a stubborn bolt etc your stuffed.

boot lid trim (99 spec)
yup and he is about half the price of z centre.

blowing brake light bulbs
as you face the rear of the car my drivers side inner bulb keeps blowing. i recently recommissioned the issue as i realise only the outer bulbs where lighting up the inners on closer inspection, one was blown teh other cut to stop the brake light lighting up. im assuming this was for mot or whateer as they couldnt be bothered to fix the problem so they hid it. id rather like to fix the issue. im assuming its an earth falut? anyone else ever had this issue? it may last a few days then pop. back on three bulbs. even with all the bulbs in the lights warning display comes up on the dash.... any suggestions?

manual engine into an auto
they are ever so slightly differnt, slightly different cam profiles to work with teh slightly smaller turbos. how much efect this will have on driving it i donmt know. ie ecu difficulties, could occur but as i say i dont know. as already said obviously you can just take the flywheel off and bolt on the torque converter. but i think if you where to have issues it would be related to the modified camshafts

300zx Drift/Track Car
what makes you want to use the zed as a drift car, theres plently of other cars that would be better for this. there are afew guys on here that do use them for that, but stuff like the steering rack needs to be modified to get enough angle for opposite lock, the lock is pretty poor on these cars, also teh car itself its relitivly heavy. maybe you would be better off with a 200sx or simular. not trying to put you off as obviously i think the zeds great, but its not the most natural drifter.
