main fuse box move to boot
where are you going to route the 50 odd wires that go to the fuse box?? You will need 3 miles of wire at least:blink:It will weigh several kilos!! easier to hide it under the wing IMO if you feel the need to move it.:yes: The battery move makes sense for weight distribution. Im not convinced about the fuse box. LOL!! However.... its your car!! etc etc

What to do sell or break?
How long is a piece of string??? If you think the market for cars is low priced then have a look at how little money parts are making(on this forum). Parts are almost being given away. Look at my threads... I have a nice tailgate ...nobody wants it No offers not even silly ones I didnt bother advertizing the doors i just stripped them and threw them away(weighed in). Leather seat set ... same thing not a single offer. etc etc Nearly every other member has starters, altenators rads etc etc to sell. Manual conversion kits fetch half the money they used to do. People will want you to send cheap big things like wings to the opposite end of the country and then complain when they arrive with a tiny scratch on them. Breaking a Z32 is hard work. Lots of space n time required And even this forum has its fair share of time wasters who say they want bits but never actually send any money. If a car sells then by definition the price it sells for is actually what its worth at that moment in time. No matter what the seller of anyone else thinks. Fact

engine build advice.
anything else? Ditch the hydraulic lifters. Make them solid Bigger valves and higher lift cams will help too. They might allow you to run a little less boost and still get the power.

Six years later!!!!!!!!!!! Its got a ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Problem fixed today!!!:clap::clap::clap: A little diagnostic work highlighed the fact that one of the injector connector plugs had gone in to a high resistance mode due to the usual corrosion. It was not bad enough to cause a missfire but was enough to drop the voltage and alter the injector firing wave. Just need to get out for a run to check it all out.:yes:

Chrome wheel restoration
They can be re chromed in all probability. Chrome plating is an electro-chemical process. So first the item needs to be de -chromed. Anydamage rectified then it wil need to be re-chromed. When done on an industial process like... eg original wheel manufacture. chrome towelrails. Bull bars on 4x4s etc its a relatilely cheap process but small one off jobs are different and very labour intensive.. hence much more expensive. I would ask for a detailed report on what anyone who is offereing to "repair" chrome wheels is actually going to do.

PAS hose
I have one. Only located it late tonite. I will get more detail and picture tomorrow evening if you still need one.

Chrome wheel restoration
if they are proper "chrome" plate on meatal then there is no way of re doing small areas of chrome. So you would need to look at powder coating to cover any damage ie powder coat the entire rim.
