Just saw this on the aus300zx about nissan starting a herotage spare parts program to reproduce oem parts for the skyline cars and the fairlady models including the z32. Cant confirm anything of course but my fingers are crossed this is true. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/nissan-is-restarting-official-production-of-skyline-spares/

Really that sucks i was looking at maybe replacing mine at some point in time guess thats not going to work. Mine arnt too bad so no biggie. As for the plastics i think preventative maintance with uv protectant and keep out of the sun if you can is the best way to stop the fading of the plastic. I can tell you now all of my brand new roof mouldings trim has already started to deteriorate and fade after 4 years of sun damage. If i get new ones again im going to try and spray clear coat over the mouldings to try and preserve them longer and prevent the sun damage.

Just had a look back in 2012 they were 134,000 yen which set me back $1700 + $300 aud freight from japan to australia (air freight) Its possible i have tried to convert as many of my original 89 trim to the later model stuff. My tonneau cover i brought brand new as well did fade after a few years in the sun at the top of the end pieces which my old tonneau cover did as well.

Hey dude, well I purchased a brand new dashboard for my Z 4 years ago and the part number was the same throughout all years. I believe the peeling dashboards syndrome the Z32 has is due to long exposure to the sun as its possible those cars (mine included) must have been left outdoors for a long period of time and that exposure to the harsh UV rays and heat of the sun caused the glues in the dashboard to separate. To combat this I have been using a sunshade on my Z ever since I installed the new dashboard when I'm not driving the Z and I hope this will stop the dash from peeling. I also intending to apply high quality dashboard protectant to the surface to aid in protecting the dash from the sun. The seat belts is probably in the same boat and you also need to remember that in 93-94 Nissan had some finanical problems and began cutting back on alot of freebies for the Z32 to cut costs. Things like the trunk carpet got thinner and there was less sound deadening applied to the truck carpet. The wheel wells didnt come with added undercoating in the later model cars and then there was the paid options which the early models got free like spoilers aircon cruise control etc etc. So realistically it would be a lesser quality plastic used in the later models then the earlier models but I think the stayed the same. Its all about how the car was treated before you took possession that determines the quality of the parts on the car.

No need Ive had that logo in digital format for a while now, found it on the net ages ago and I've been using it for my project site banner layout since. So its now yours as well.

I have them both the top one is for the 1999-2000 models the one below is for the 1997-1998 model.

I would do a service on the transmission by replacing the fluid and strainer which is what has helped improved my autos shifting abilities.

Really I didn't know that I always thought CZP buys from a local US Nissan dearlership and I think he gets trade prices on those parts which is why they are cheaper then Courtesy Directly. When I tried to source a brand new USDM adjustable suspension center console switch Courtesy Nissan were the only suppliers who could get me one, they charged me $150 freight through UPS on that little part which I had to pay otherwise I would have never got the part, If I could of got it through CZP it would have been $30 freight. least just say never again will I buy from Courtesy Nissan.

Also forgot one more set of parts Hatch Struts x 2 90450-50P10 (93/09-00/08) (Discontinued) USDM Nissan Tool Kit 99501-45P01 (94-96) (Discontinued) Boot Carpet 84902-53P00 (94/10-00/08) (Discontinued) Carpet Mats Set Front & Rear Design 2: G4910-40P60 (98/10-00/08) (Discontinued) JDM Passeneger Seat Switch Cover 87380-47P00 (92-00) (Discontinued) Lower Vent (Under instrument cluster) 68905-51E02 (89-98) (Discontinued) Console Trim Side, LH (Velour) 96917-53P00 (92-97) (Discontinued) Console Trim Side, RH (Velour) 96916-53P00 (92-97) (Discontinued) JDM Trunk Luggage Carpet Mat (2+2) H4900-42P00 (89-92) (Discontinued) H4900-47P00 (94-98) (Discontinued) H4900-45P10 (98-00) (Discontinued) USDM Door Window Guide Rail Front RH - Z32 (Discontinued) 80240-30P00 (90-96) Door Clear Seal Screen RH 80860-41P01 (89-00) (Discontinued) JDM Nissan Tool Kit KC150-89926 (89-00) (Discontinued)

Now for the discontinued parts list I've gathered so far. As part of my 2000spec conversion build project which I'm still working on, I have done everything I can do document everything at all of the parts I've purchased and installed onto my Z, I hope this information will help other Z owners find the part the are chasing without the guess work I had to do for some of the parts I was chasing for my build I've included everything from part numbers and what years the part was introduced for the Z32 as well as part costings and shipping times along with where I purchased the item all in an effort to help other Z owners find the part their looking for, I've added most of my parts list on my aus300zx garage which you need to be a memeber to view but its free to join. http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/garage_vehicle.php?do=view_vehicle&id=28 Anyways the list I've compiled so far; Label (Tyre Placard) 90990-43P00 (89-00) (Discontinued) Series 6 JDM Z32 Front Fenders LH 63101-VP110 (99-00) (Discontinued) Series 6 JDM Z32 Front Fenders RH 63100-VP110 (99-00) (Discontinued) Screw (Fuel Cap) 08310-5125D (Discontinued) Series 4 Front Brake Caliper (TT) (Iron) LH (Discontinued) 41011-37P01 Series 4 Front Brake Caliper (TT) (Iron) RH (Discontinued) 41001-37P01 Series 2 Loom Protector LH Front 24270-30P12 (92-00) (Discontinued) Series 2 Loom Protector LH Back 24270-30P13 (92-00) (Discontinued) Series 3 Fuse Box Bracket 24236-33P10 (93-00) (Discontinued) Series 3 Nissan Plenum Support Bracket LH 14017-46P05 (93-00) (Discontinued) Series 3 Nissan Plenum Support Bracket RH 14017-48P05 (93-00) (Discontinued) Series 4 USDM Upper RH Warning Circuit [Tailight Blown/HIAS/ABS] (Instrument cluster) 24882-45P11 (94-96) (Discontinued) Series 4 JDM Upper RH Lens Warning [Tailight Blown/HIAS/ABS] (Instrument cluster) 24882-53P01 (94/10-) (Discontinued) Series 4 Upper LH Lens Warning [ASCD] (Instrument cluster) 24882-45P70 (92/08-97/01) (Discontinued) Series 4 Upper Mid Lens Light Cover [indicator/Hi-Beam] (Instrument cluster) 24816-49P64 (94-96) (Discontinued) Series 4 Odometer Unit (Instrument cluster) 24875-47P00 (92/08-00/08) (Discontinued) Series 2 Headlight Pod, RH [w/ ASCD & Heater] 25160-47P00 (92-94) (Discontinued) keyless Remote Door Kit (Complete) H0500-VP100 (98-00) 1 type remote (Discontinued) H0560-53P00 (94-97) 3 type remote (Discontinued) Cigarette Lighter Assembly (w/ Shroud) 25331-89902 (90-96) (Discontinued) Series 6 Door Harness, RH 24124-VP100 (98-00) (Discontinued) Series 5 CD Unit (Kenwood KV909) B8182-89980 (97/01-00/08) (Discontinued) Series 2 Aircon Pod, LH 27500-41P10 (92/09-92/10) (Discontinued) USDM Interior Foot lamps LH 26425-30P00 (Discontinued) Alarm Remote's H0569-89900 (89-92) (Discontinued) H0569-1P100 (Alternative) (Discontinued) Optional Service Mark Indicator Assembly (KB5070) B5070-89900 (98-00) (Discontinued) I know there's more like the Version R red stitched steering wheel is now discontinued and this is list is only from the items I've tried to source for myself as part of my project.

I've been using those 2 sites for years I've only made one purchase from RHDjapan which went great but I intend to use them more for nismo related parts in the future, their prices are pretty good but I've never used them for sourcing OEM nissan parts before. Other sites I use frequently for part number information and prices are JP-Carparts.com http://jp-carparts.com/nissan/cartypelist.php?maker=nissan&type=132 japanese based parts website which used the car manufacture's own parts fichie to locate parts. For Nissan they use the same illustrations as the NISSAN FAST program and makes it a hell of alot easier to find the part your looking for them looking at raw numbers like amayama. Nissan.epc-data.com http://nissan.epc-data.com/fairlady_z/gz32/ Another japanese parts website exactly like amayama expect its for the japanese market. It doesnt use illustrations like JP-carparts does but it does tend to show more actual available part information compared to JP-carparts. Most of the discontinued parts wont be listed on the nissan.epc-data.com whereas JP-carparts they will be for some strange reason. For the US market I use Courtesy Nissan http://www.courtesyparts.com/ Tend to be way overpriced for what CZP can get me but the part numbers are what i use this site for mainly. Nissanpartsdeal.com https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/ Much easier navigation then Courtesy Nissan and give you all of the available and discontinued parts allowing you to see what is available and what is not. For the UK and Europe Market I use Nissan4u.com http://nissan4u.com/parts/ Has the Nissan FAST illustration to make navigation simple but I've never tried to contact and order another from them as of yet. Now onto my japanese contact. The guys name is jesse streeter and I've been using his import services for almost 10 years now and I think I have spent quite a few $1000 of dollars (AUD) in order parts with him over those 10 years. Basically he owns a little import business in Japan and what I normally do is I send him an email with a list of nissan part numbers which he then takes to his local nissan spare parts dealership and gets a quotation for those parts and emails me back the quotation. I reply to him the parts I want to buy which he then sends me back an official invoice which I pay him directly into an Australian bank account. Once the payment clears his accounts he purchases the parts I ask for and waits for them to arrive from Nissan. Once they arrive he boxes them up and emails a second invoice for freight charges. I pay him again into the same bank account and once that clears he sends me the package which normally arrives within a week. He also can do bidding for used parts on Yahoo auctions (japans version of ebay) for customers as he has an account and it has scored me some pretty rare parts which I normally would have never been able to buy brand new. His website is here http://jessestreeter.com/ and you can contact him via email and give him your request and he will try and help you if he can.

Not sure ill post the guys website later tonight and ill also post up all of the parts ive recorded so far that ive been told are no discontinued from nissan usa and japan. Stay tuned

This is because nissan japan do not have a 10 year production spare parts rule like we have hear in australia. For us aussies when a car reaches 10 years old the car manufacture does not need to continue to produce replacement parts for that model and so whatever is left in the distibution centers is all thats left until stock runs out. From what i know the jap car companies can choose to either discontinue a car for a car during production, as soon as the car ceases production and or 10 years after production ceases its weird i know. I buy all of my z32 brand new from nissan napan direct to avoid the aussie nissan guys as they dont anything here for the z32. I have a japanese contact that goes to nissan for me and let me know whats available and how much nissan want for it.

This is 100% 92+ i think off the top of my head. Nissan added a thread bolt hole welded to the arm for the aur guide mounting bolt. Other the that the arms are all the same performance wise.

I was willing sell it to your for $30 aud + frieght if you were to go ahead with it. But i understand rules are rules. Maybe ill throw it up on ebay one day.

Yes i do know that didnt think it would really matter if its a personal trandcation and considering i live in australia i dont think aubscribing to your forums would benefit much really. Still i hornor the rules this forums.

Yeah sure if your interested in buying it im happy to sell it to you. Send me a pm and we can go from there.

I purchased one of these series 4 actuators hoping i could install it and have remote boot unlocking. Unfortunately my series 1 jdm model doesnt have any of the required mounting points, electrical harness and cabling to adapt this into my system. I also dont have the later model key fob only the series 1 optional infrared fob which has 1 button to open the doors only.

Its a complete OEM series 2 model Velour interior but I have also installed lots of optional late model electrical units and trim options to set my Z apart from the rest. The options I can think of off the top of my head include the complete series 3 instrument cluster with the 2000spec white/gold face dials, Version R red stitch airbag steering wheel, optional carbon fiber center console and window switch trim panels, series 2 aircon pod, leather option auto shifter, dual electric velour seats, bose speaker grills, optional lower aircon vent (crouch warmer/cooler), a full set of the rarest factory fairlady floor mats, Altia door sill and 1/4 window panels, optional boot mat and later model boot carpet. USDM Adjustable TT suspension system with OEM toggle switch merged into the OEM folding mirror switch, late model UV Cut glass 1/4 windows with a mirror finish, 1997 16bit later model ECU and if you noticed I have also recently installed the 2997 optional 6 inch factory TV monitor and OEM Mini Disc Jap stereo player to keep my Z interior as OEM as possible but also improve its technology as much as I with what options the Z32 got over its 10 year production span. This is just a taste of the actual options I've installed into my Z though, plan to post a massive build thread detailing everything one day in the future. Sorry for the crappy phone photos but I'll take proper ones when the Z is actually finished and ready for its proper reveal;).

Though my technically is a 1989 / 12 model it doesn't really look much like one anymore Its more of a 2000spec model then a 1989 model dont you think;)

Never heard of these thanks for sharing greg. Unfortunately its too expensive for me nowdays to get these from japan, i would wsitmate this would roughly cost 40,000 yen to ship to australia. the wife would kill me.

I appreciate the reply but i dont need to check codes i have consult. What i need to know is the ecu looking like its set to mode 1 or mode 2 in that photo.

Hey guys, I just installed a later model ECU into my Z and though everything is working fine so far, I just noticed the potentiometer you turn to check error codes is pointing downwards towards the right. My old ECU had it pointing upwards towards the right. I have looked up some info on which mode this is set to at the moment but I don't really know which way the potentiometer should be pointing to for normal mode. Any ideas what this is set to?

He has put it up for sale again. http://www.ebay.com/itm/112057919363

Yup black outer rim with silver spokes, just gotta take the sapcers off for that flush look. Lol It also has aerial and rear wiper delete which was an odd surprise, but its now gone eat it tailpipe and all and with a strawberry whirl centre it tasted too good to resist. Thanks again guys for your lovely comments
