Awesome find Gary - it's like new...... ......me too - well I like the seats! I reckon the rest of the dash and upper door cards would look better in the stock dark grey of the UK spec cars; but with the rest of the trim in the brown. Richard:sorcerer:

Yes - all the time mate!! And when I park it I just cannot help but stare back at it a few times as I walk away...... ......Julia thinks it's a serious problem......:oops: Richard:thumbup:

Very nice touch Graham!! Richard:cool3:

Hi mate, regarding the dipstick, yes it is a wire wire type one with a metal oblong-thing on the bottom! And lots of other cars in my experience still have this type whether manual or auto! But it is normal for the auto-box oil (as opposed to engine oil) dipstick to be of the wire construction - perhaps that's what you were thinking!! You mentioned it's a UK spec car; I believe all UK spec cars came with cruise control and none came with the reverse beeping siren..... ....and the ultimate give-away; a proper UK spec car should have all the details on the V5. IE if it was originally an auto, then the car would be described in full as a "Nissan 300zx turbo auto." Manuals would just be called a "Nissan 300zx turbo!" Imports will vary though as it's down to the importer to describe it upon first registration here. Richard:cool2:

Many happy returns buddy!! Richard:happybday:

I'm 40 and, whilst one or two school friends lost their jobs in the recession, they are back in work now. However I'm only in touch with a couple of friends from school nowadays. And since I went to secondary school in East London, I reckon a lot of guys I once knew are either in prison or have been shot - LOL!!! Still I do know of one fella from my time at Sir George Monoux in Walthamstow, back in 1985, who didn't do too badly. Apparently he was into his music, I seem to remember his name was Tony Mortimer........:biggrin: Richard:euro:

Oooh - didn't think of that!! I guess it works both ways.... Richard:thumbup1:

LOL - no worries mate!! So I guess you couldn't be bothered to look up the part numbers yourself then.......:tongue: Richard:innocent::biggrin:

Another good write-up from Oilman!! Nice one mate - thanks for your help. Richard:cool2:

E-bay is full of sharks and scammers; I'm not saying the seller is one of those but why ask in the first place? After all - he decided to sell the car on E-bay and knew what the cost would be once he sold!! Would you expect to advertise and sell a car for nothing...? Thought not!! Aside from a firm "no" this is the next best option...... Good luck with the car mate - I hope the sale goes through and the car serves you well. Richard:cool2:

Awww - she's very cute mate!! I've always liked cats..... ......Good name as well I reckon.... Richard:cool2:

LOL - another one.......:innocent: But to answer your question - average around 19mpg; best around 24mpg; worst around 11mpg....... all still with a few rules bent slightly..... Richard:biggrin:

Nice one Daz - this is why we love our Zs mate......!! Richard:cool3:

Nice one Paul!! This is exactly what the spirit of the club is all about......:punk: Glad you are pleased with the result too Dave. Richard:thumbup:

Back to your original question; part numbers can be found here....: http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-motorsports-z32-jdm-fairlady-tail-set-p-627603.html?cPath=882_5901& http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-motorsports-jdm-fairlady-rear-center-panel-p-227636.html?cPath=882_5901& Richard:cool3:

Seconded... .....unless you buy from the USA then Nissan will most likely be cheaper than Luke; but Mike at MJP will certainly give you a better price than Nissan. Plus you have the benefit of buying from a UK besed seller - once you have added duty and carriage to American suppliers and factored in the potential aggravation, then MJP is a safe bet! Richard:thumbup:

It's a large single pipe either side mate. If you want to keep the stock "quad" look then the Mongoose/Blue Flame is the choice of many. I have this myself and I reckon it's a good replacement. IIRC Luke at the Z-Centre does the Mongoose for the lowest price..... Richard:thumbup1:

Sound advice as usual - I currently have those Goodyears and they are truly excellent!! Richard:cool2:

I have similar tyre sizes to you - except for 265/35/18 on the back - and I run with about 32-33 front and 35-36 psi on the rear. With non-standard wheels/tyres it's all trial and error really to see what works and feels best. I'd say that 29 on your rears is a bit too low - especially if you're planning a long high speed journey. Too low a pressure makes the tyres flex and heat up more; which could cause a blow-out at high speed.... Richard:cool3:

Many happy returns Smithy - hope you have a good one mate!! Richard:rockon:

The Japspeed system is a bargain at around £300-ish..... ....Quite a few members have one on their ZX; Gary Wilson has one on his black Z and it looks the nuts! Richard:thumbup1:

LOL - that's just horrid!! Richard:clown:

Completely agree Brian:angry: I've nothing against peaceful protest - it's our democratic right in a free society; but those scum really crossed the line. And the clueless fookers don't even realize that they have probably lost a great deal of their support from the law abiding people. Richard:thumbdown:

Glad you are liking your ZX mate..... .....and a bit of advice for the bad weather! Make sure your tyres are up to the job - don't use cheap or crap brands. When I bought my first ZX it had brand new Avons all round and the car handled so bad in rain etc - one replacement set of Goodyear Eagle F1s and the car was transformed!! Decent tyres really DO make all the difference - don't skimp on them!!! Richard:thumbup1:

Excellent news Allan..... ......hopefully it won't be long now mate!! Richard:cool3:
