alloy fitment (please opinions)
with my limited understanduing of how wheels work, other than the whole turning buisness. i take it for the 18 inch wheel on the front to fill the arch i would require an offset of 30/32 so with the offset of these being 40 a ten mm spacer would push them out to fill the arch quite nicely? is that correct?

one cylinder not working properly
it may well be the injector connector itself, is the top rubber boot damaged? they get badly corroded as you know, but somethimes the corrosion inside is just too much. you should be able to test the injector loom with a multimeter. with some patience. if it is that then its a case of buying a new connector for a few quid and pigtailing it into the existing loom.

this chap states these will fit a 300zx and as far as i can tell the offset and stud spacing etc would be correct but would there be any clearance issues etc? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mazda-RX8-18-Alloy-Wheels-Tyres-fit-Other-Jap-Car-/110608860584?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item19c0cd45a8 opinions please chaps

Newbie 300ZX Wanted!
I use the zed as my primary car but not for travelling back and forth to work. just too damn expensive on feul. round town ie 30 limits and traffics lights etc i get around 15 to 19 and on the motorway and fast country lanes i get about 25. mines an auto tt. i believe manual tts are a little better on fuel. and n/as are better round town but worse at motorway speeds.

new owner with new problems
stock gauge is pretty inaccurate, mine sits around the same at idle i belive only going all the way left on the over run. had the same issue as yourself when i had some big boost leaks tho. if in doubt of boost leaks do a test and tighten all the clamps. doesnt take all day and its a maintaince thing in any case. do a search on boost leaks lots of usefull info available on here.

low petrol warning light?
if you have the over drive off and tying to see what your getting this may part of the issue i think mine starts to sound noisey without the over drive on at like 80 90 ish. you say 50km feels fast. sure its not been converted already? i have kph clocks but it reads for example. 30kmph is 30mph

Words fail me, disgusting!!
wasnt meant to be insulting was just a joke. trying to bring some humour to the situation. moreover i was sugesting that that sort of punishment that many are discussing can encourage martadom. not good. anyways didnt mean to offend any body. i appologise.
