Has anyone ever replaced their glass with UK spec stuff?
Why would you go to all the effort of replacing the glass? :rofl:

Rad questions
I doubt it, the 300ZX radiator is thin, has crap plastic fittings and second hand will fail in no time. You can get an uprated rad for less money too so no point.

Intermittent HICAS light
You can buy it most garages/car spares shops. You need Dexron Type II or III automatic transmission fluid but there's lots of different brands ;) About £6 for a small bottle.

Career change
I've been in I.T for about 15 years and absolutely hate it now :rofl: Looking for a change to something completely different but it's hard to ignore the big pay drop I'm expecting.

Last weekend
The V10 Touareg has more torque than anything else on the road so under the right conditions it CAN kick your ass! :rofl:

Anyone know anything about ECU's?
Your boost won't cut because of the injectors, you will just get it running dangerousy lean. What kind of power is the car putting out and have you got standard wheels and tyres etc? Rough 0-60 times? You should be getting something like 600bhp+ at those kind of boost levels... :rofl:

lightwieght/unorthodox pullies
Dead easy to do when the other belts are off. You just need a long bar and 27mm socket.

I've started some interesting threads here eh!
Yeah but this one isn't :rofl:

Any Real Noticable Driving difference between a SWB and Slicktop ??
You won't notice any difference, it's just a bit of weight saved as far as I know.
-
Grounding kits...
If you have bad earths on your car then it may help put it back to factory spec but they don't increase power. Everything that needs to be earthed was wired up at the factory.

Rear subframe bushes....weeping...MOT failure?
You can get a set of bush spacers to clamp them up tight, hiding the leaky bush and giving a firmer ride ;) Used these on mine and they're dead easy to fit as you only have to take the nut off each bush and put them on. Like these: http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_6_8&products_id=130 :)

Anyone know anything about ECU's?
If you're running 1.5bar (nearly 22psi) of boost then you either have a VERY highly modified car or you're doing some serious damage. You should be getting some massive power at that kind of boost. I really can't beleive it's been modified to that level if you have stock intercoolers on. Stock turbo's and injectors will be way beyond their limits and it should be detonating like crazy. Are you sure you know what you should be listening for? Not sure how you can check for forged internals but getting the turbo's looked at would be a start. You said it runs great apart from when its cold?! It should run much better in cool air... I'd turn the boost down to a bar and get it investigated quick.

Anyone know anything about ECU's?
It's to put the ECU in diagnostic mode

What can the stock clutch handle?
I've done boost upgrades on loads of Z's and most of them fry the clutch within days. So that probably means around 330bhp ish if it's part worn.

Hey ChrisC
I can't change it, had to pick a date and make some arrangements around it. Got 3 or 4 mates going with time booked off already etc. Shame cos I think Wozza and Jay are free the week after too. I'm going up on the friday to get settled in i think so I'm there from sat 5th until possibly the following sunday if cash allows so you could come up then :)
