Z1 Motorsport a Joke!!!
Well i had a customer order a twinz bumper from CZP in Feb last year,It arrived in November,Covered in cracks with yellow crayon around the damage so they knew it was broken before sending it.I would say each are as bad as each other from my own experience.

Blown Head Gasket
I have an NA engine available if you want to do a swap ?

front subframe
I call it the radiator support panel.A new one is still available.It will involve removing the AC Condensor and drier cannister which can be tricky as the unions can seize badly and removal may cost you dearly in replacement AC parts.

Removing a SERIOUSLY bonded fibreglass spoiler
The usual trick is using the wire for cutting out windscreens and sawing through the sealer

Brake Problem
This would point to a faulty BMC.A caliper seizure would not cause excessisve pedal movement,quite the opposite in fact as less fluid is required if all the pistons do not move.

Risk it for a biscuit - bought a -potentially- broken Z
I would advise an "Italian" tune up to clear out any residue.It will need 100 miles plus to clear it out successfully.If the smoke persists on overrun its 100% leak down time then i am afraid.

Miles or Kilometres?
If you swap them it will just be another Zed with a swapped speedo and a questionable mileage.That seal and the number on the sticker is checkable with Jevic in Japan

300zx chassis treatment?
Rustbuster offer an excellent range of treatments and also carry out the work also if desired.Its over a thousand pounds to treat a car fully but they it is an extensive process.

Sniff test.....damn!
Please dont just do the head gaskets if you are going to the trouble of removing the engine and stripping it.I refuse this job on a regular basis as it rarely ends well.By the time the gaskets blown usually other damage has been done from the overheat.Glazed bores and thinning of the oil which increases bearing wear.At the very least hone it with new rings,Have the heads refurbished and get some new shell bearings.And use OEM gaskets for peace of mind.

Mapping advice - 1997 Fairlady Z 300zx
A board install and map at Gregs is £745.You will need an earlier 8 bit Ecu for the Nistune to fit,And an EBC installed for boost control.

They never fill right to the top or will stay full either.The level always sits a couple of inches down on them.

Link G4+ ECU - Costs and whats needed.
You do not have to use 2 sensors but it's best. The VG will have a leaner bank usually the passenger side as the fuel feeds in from the drivers side so it can be fitted that side and tuned from that. And no you can not use the factory sensor positioning it has to be test pipe or the sensors will fail prematurely
