sad to hear matey :crying:

wow you have got clutch issues , the clutch that came with my manual conversion had a few months left on it so I thought for £180 plus postage its worth a punt . despite the negative stuff out there there is some positive stuff . for £800 you could get 4 of these :) obviously postage on top .

Guess I will find out , If it fails I will get a more expensive one - watch this space :yes:

thanks Hollings :biggrin:

It seems fine at the moment - still going a little gentle as its new . I researched them a little before going with it and couldn't find anything to really put me off . I believe there's a few people on here using them and haven't read anything negative (on here)

lol its been replaced by an auto box , I need to get rid of that - Thanks again gearbox feels lovely and has transformed the car :biggrin:

Its an XTD stage 2 with flywheel , ordered it from states - at a very good price

May I take the opportunity to thank both these guys . Managed to get a full manual conversion from JaiKai (gearbox is absolutely great :biggrin:) I originally learnt through the forum that Jaikai's manual conversion was at Lee Dents in Shrewsbury so I thought I would be a little cheeky and ask Lee if he would do the conversion for me. (I am not a great mechanic and don't have much space at the moment) Managed to get it over to Lee at LA Autos Just after my birthday to get the bits fitted . I also chose to get the decat down pipes from Japspeed for the 300zx.co.uk members price so thought it would be an ideal time to do this with the transmission out . Lee went over my car, used the conzult and has given me a full honest appraisal of my car , He also managed to a fair few deletes around the engine making it a lot neater , sorted out an idle issue , tightened up my oil filter as it was leaking , diagnosed the fact my timing is retarded , fixed my fag lighter (not that I smoke) fixed down my coilpacks with some nice shiny hex bolts , fixed a new piece to my interior that was falling off, and some other things. He also kept me updated throughout and sent me some nice progress pictures . Top guy!!! My car is now going great , so much more responsive and entertaining to drive and sounds brilliant! So thanks again guys! One happy Zed driver here :thumbup: One of the pics sent

welcome and cracking idea groover ! :thumbup1:

:biggrin: you must have heard about my mechanical expertise

good luck - mine has grown an extra pedal today :thumbup:

well done in getting rid of the beemer and getting a Z :yes:

Big congratulations :thumbup1:

Welcome :thumbup1:

:biggrin: passed again - no advisories only £30

sorry to be a party pooper , I cant go as have had to work nights over Easter and my Birthday :(

Well I was going to go for a 3inch de-cat until I saw the price of one of the gaskets I would need http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKYLINE-GTR-GTS-200SX-300ZX-3-INCH-DECAT-DE-CAT-GASKET-/370274028394?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item56360d4b6a :scared:

Sad to see her then and now pics , good to see your thinking positive around the Z cave :)

lol that's crazy , I don't think I will be doing it to my motor though :)

I absolutely love this Z its just the camber thing I don't get

I didn't know about the the brake test thing until a few days ago :no:

mine is being de-catted any day , my mot tester sometimes classes it as a k reg primera , don't think he even used the exhaust probe thing last time

http://www.duck-design.com/index.php?start=440 can still buy :laugh:

http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/sstp_1209_1990_nissan_300zx_2_2/photo_05.html I cant imagine they handle to great when the camber is set like this . Its almost like there trying to make the cars like those drawings of max power cartoon type car prints that you used to be able to buy.

well done , good benefits for your health and wallet
