I have a nice mountney steering wheel from my old car. I want to fit it in my Z32 import but am tearing my hair out trying to find a boss kit. :headvswal I have found numerous places that sell kits for the 300zx 84-90 models. Is this kit going to fit? Does anyone know if the z31 and z32 are the same fitment configuration?

Can anyone tell me what this is likely to be - sometimes when I start up i get an awful sceeching sound, but it stops when I turn the air conditioning off. No other symptoms and it runs prefectly otherwise. Sound familiar to anyone? Is there a quick cure? :confused:

Tried to take my perspex rear panel off earlier as I wanted to see if the high level brake assemlby is actually bonded to the back of this thing as I can't work out why these rear panels retail at £30 and £80 for what is seemingly the same thing but with a little clear bit in the middle.

Spoke with a very very knowledgable guy who knows zeds better than most and I am posting this thought because he does not really want to say it in open forum. My HKS ALC :rant: almost certainly accelerated the demise of my autobox. Whilst fitting it did crispen up the shift, it maintains line pressure in the box often when not needed and therefore puts the box under additional stresses that an already 13 year old autobox does not need. When designing the car the team found the best box they could to handle the stock power and then they struggled so it is no wonder all these old boxes are going bang. My advice is fact…
