Not good but they should be able to sort that out, my local Pro Tyre is really good, but if they let the trainee do the tracking or balancing its never the same!!

300zx prices
Without any shadow of a doubt Zed prices are increasing as supply is beginning to run out from the stock that is left in Japan

300ZX TT - A18GCK
Sorry to hear the slightly bad news, hopefully the engine holds up while you plan the big build as you have certainly put a tremendous effort into yo getting your Zed to this stage! It goes without saying but the more your tune the Zed then compression issues will show up, the results do point towards worn piston rings and as Greg mentioned you should be able to use it for the last of the summer. Hope to join you in the 600bhp club!!

The difference of 0.7 mph is due to the rolling radius of the front and rear tyres being slightly different... but you will not notice that!:)

Your Zed looks the part, love the look of the genuine 99 spec headlights?

Clutch & flywheel recommendations.
I run a Stage 3+ Spec clutch, still doing the break-in miles though!

correct spark plugs for application as described
I've always run 7 or 8 heat range iridium's and they have performed well on slightly modded Zed's...

Yellow UK 300zx
Never really agreed with the "UK" 300ZX or Supra being worth a premium, afterall they are all made in Japan!! with minimal differences

Roose Hoses
They seem to have a good reputation but the prices are even more than Samco! Anyone running Roose hoses? views etc? tempted but not sure it's worth paying the extra?

225/40 on the front seems a touch undersized compared to the rears but if that's the set up you are used to and the car handles well then it will be fine. 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 is generally a good set up in terms of rolling radius between the front and rear tyres, willtheyfit.com is a good website for virtually testing out different set ups...

5500K vs 6500K HID's
They even emailed me a postage label, so even the postage was free!!?

Ebay NA Zed
Talking of maintenance... I run my Zed's on 5w40 Millers, what do you recommend?
-
Ebay NA Zed
So that means the belt will be well overdue, and yes will be a ticking time bomb!! From the advert you can guage it has not been maintained that well because nothing is mentioned in the advert about general servicing or time belt etc

correct spark plugs for application as described
Was slight typo error... I would recommend NGKBKR8EIX?
-
Ebay NA Zed
It's strange you mention fake bids because that's the impression I got, seems like a few people are intentionally bidding on the Zed with no intention of actually buying it. Not fair on the seller or people who are genuinely interested to buy!

Ebay NA Zed
Has made quite a good price, more than I would have thought... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304125577891?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D54786e721aa646939649b986f804225b%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D304125577891%26itm%3D304125577891%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A3251f8c5-0e78-11ec-ae57-0ec516861fdc|parentrq%3Ab73f74f417b0a64d87f1c1ccfff8f51c|iid%3A1

Hicas removal...
That's ok, I will have to work it out as I go to a certain extent but hopefully with having the breaker Zed I should be able to work it out. The next step is to remove the whole NA subframe and diff and do that conversion as well... but one step at a time!
-
correct spark plugs for application as described
I would recommend NGKBR8EIX iridium, I recently installed NGKBKR7EIX in my Zed which is running approx 380 bhp. I took advice from here, (Concept Z) :

Hicas removal...
Thanks?, so to be clear I would need to change the TT PAS pump to the NA PAS pump and he TT reservoir to the NA reservoir? So would the PAS belt need to be chsnged, hopefully that will the same?
-
Hicas removal...
My TT Zed has the hicas simply unplugged from the power steering pump in the engine bay... I have a complete N/A for breaking which does not have hicas, so is it relatively simple to switch over the pumps? Unfortunately I cannot have the 2 cars side by side because the N/A is parked in a storage yard. Essentially I want to clear up the engine bay as much as possible so getting rid of the hicas pump will be a start. So who has done the N/A PAS pump conversion to their TT? any advice much appreciated?

5500K vs 6500K HID's
Spoke to HIDS4U who were very helpful and agreed to swap the bulbs over fo the H3's free if charge? can't ask for fairer than that?
-
5500K vs 6500K HID's
Damn... from the HIDS4U website it said I needed the H1 so didn't even bother to check! just assumed it would be correct... Hopefully they will be able to do something as I have tried to fit them and cut one of the rubber fittings!?

5500K vs 6500K HID's
