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

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.

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.

radiator won't fill up - common places for leaks
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

My terrible experience with trusting a so called club Importer to bring in a z32!
Normally i relish the arrival of fresh JDM cars.This car was not a welcoming site.It is nigh on rust free and clean underneath which is a huge bonus given all the negaitives it has.The paint is woeful to say the least.It was Silver once and for whatever reason the owner has decided to have a go himself at a respray,No bodyshop could turn out a finish that bad.Its dry with an eggshell finish and has sags everywhere.No attempt at masking has been made at all so all the window strips were white underneath then hand painted back to black.The mileage is hugely questionable also going by the state of the drivers seat,the steering wheel and the gear knob which is minus the leather cover.The cooling system was in a terrible state with corroded pipes and leaks everywhere and not a hint of history regarding a 60k cambelt service etc and all for the asking price of 6k which is way beyond its true value.

White UK 300 breaking
I cant help but feel Deegan has been taken advantage of after reading this thread.I have been speaking with him and to say he is getting low balled is an understatement.Whoever told him a Mongose exhaust is worth £250 now is on cloud cuckoo.
