300zx tt vs civic type r old shape!
my mate has a type r the shape before the current one. the one you think of when people say typeR we drove to cornwall last year, real fun drive be he seriously couldnt keep up with the zed once it got going. we were both stock at the time. close for a fair while but then the zed just gets in its stride and its gone. obviously we didnt push it too hard...i know for a fact that that even in standard form the zed surprises me sometimes. its not the feel of acceration as taht itself isnt always that impressive with teh auto box but its teh way the speedo moves, i regularly get out of the car thinking ****......corse there are faster things out there but generally they coat a damn site more to buy and run. what other 20 year old car can you blast about it enjoy cruise control. and over take like a bat out of hell. that 50 upwards range in the right gear is unholly fast, and without a keen eye on the speedo could get you in alot of trouble very fast lol. i orginally brought my zed because i liked the way it looked and it was quick. and the eccomony was far better than the camaero i wanted instead. two years later and i def want to keep it, yes it a little tepremental but its 20 years old, as much as my mrs says she dislikes it shes coming round each trip out in the sun makes her like it a little more. and when i drop her off its my time to play on the way home. all this who is quicker malarky means nothing unless its in real life , and its stupid to play this game on the street, where 90% of our cars live. if you want to know how quick the zed is its gotta go on the track, it quickly runs out of road to display its talents.

misfire or selling car
run a multimeter over the injector and ohm it you should get a resistance of around 13/14 i believe dont quote me on that. highter or lower and it has failed open or shut and is no longer funtioning. however check the connection itself quite common corrosion has got inside.

no bite at all in brakes help !!
larger rolling diameter rolling disc means larger breaking surface while your right that would be optimised by a caliper that covers the full width. its something i plan to do myself. where can i get those adapter plates from though???

almost there now!
dave i dont mean to be rude mate but im sure people where pointing you this way last week. before the oil change. as i say not being rude just saying....you know. anyways i agree maf does sound likly, many people pop off the trim under the passenger side wiper above to battery to allow excess heat to escape, doesnt normally cause issues. if you have an aftermarket air filter, as you say no aftermarket nose panel. often these will allow the water to do what steve said. im sure and some one will help to claify but if you pop off the maf connection and reset the ecu. it should idle properly, but not rev above 3k mine had this issue a few months back.better still if you coould get sum1 to datascan or conzult it this would show up.

compression test results?
could it be that the cam durations would be wrong for example the exhuast side would stay closed too long., allowing too much air into the cyldnder then the pressure would build up beyond the norm

Learning how to spell!
well theres supposedly two explanations for the rise of the term some suggest it is an abbreviation. c.h.a.v standing for council house associated violence. the second school of thought is that it comes from the romany word meaning child. call em what you will though townies neds whatever lol we all know the tucked in socks lager swilling shit heads.
-
compression test results?
do a search pretty sure this has been covered previously what you looking for mostly is a uniform pressure, between each cylnder.
