seat covers
As far as Im concerned its all plastic. I have to sit on vinyl seats in my 240Z cos they are correct for the period (early 70s). But in summer you need a towel to sit as they dont breathe like leather. I wouldnt fit these covers or any other type of synthetic stuff in my 300ZX if they were free. JUst IMO of course. Not in any way a comment on the seller.

I want one, I need one, RIGHT NOW!!
There are couple of points to bear in mind as a newbie looking to buy. The first one is that 300ZXs in general are rare cars so not loads for sale at any one time in comparison with more common Jap stuff. Secondly its not wrong of course to have personal preferences, we all do, but it does restrict your choice further. You perhaps need to go and look at a couple of any colour in your price range to see what sort of car you would be getting. i know you were interested in the Black/Leather TT I had for sale, but you were the third person to express a serious interest. I was only going to deal with viewings one at a time and the first person to see bought. I also have a further useful buying tip, but its only for your ears not everyones eyes , so if you wanna chat then call me. 01773 761238 or 07778 411568 Take your time , you will get there. Pete

does anyone know if its possible to repair chrome wheels
Errr! Its a bit more involved than "dipping " in chrome! :smash: LOL Anything that has been "chromed" and then damaged will need to be "de-chromed" first, then repaired, then "re-chromed" Chroming and de chroming are both electric current driven processes . Something a complex as a wheel will be very expensive to do indeed. Cheapest option would be to have the marks linished out and just polish the underlying aluminium, then locally lacquer the repair. It wont be perfect but it will be cheaper. Look at my "BRMMM Tshhhhh" thread and you will see just how shiny you can get ally or that for sale ad of Jaffas with the plenum.

changing spark plugs
Before removing plug, just blow some compressed air down the hole to remove any Sh*t down there. If there is and you dont remove it first then it will drop into the engine after the plug is removed.

DVLA --Robbing Barstewards!!!
Yesterday I just shelled out a new MOT fee for my Slicktop. thats one step nearer to being sold now. :cry: Next step was to get in touch with DVLA to get a V778/1 retention form so that I can keep my "JIB ..." plate. And the price?????? £105! :headvswal Thats £105 to be paid to a government agency so I can keep something that I have already bought and paid for. Robbing Barstewards. :smash: Rant over.
