Here is another one from the past - 300z (Warren S). The photo is from an article that appeared in the May '02 issue of Japanese Performance.

I meet Johnny back in 2001 when I bought a s/h R33 brake kit off him at his place. I remember his car and recall him buying a set of Blitz Technospeeds (with gold spokes) at the same time I ordered mine. That's what made me think it was his car in the photo.

I'm not sure I understand your question.

I can't be sure, but this may be Johnny@Grasshopper Pro Sport's - photo circa 2002.

The part# which Ash used for me was J6030-42P28 (Item 5): http://nissan4u.com/parts/300zx/er_z32/1993_11/type_1/miscellaneous/air_spoiler/

Nissan part# 00933-1301A (12 used per block): https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-engine-motor-block-freeze-plug-skyline-gt-r-89-94-r32-00933-1301a-300zx-90-96-z32_p_30998.php Size 30mm: https://frsport.com/Nissan-00933-1301A-Genuine-OEM-Freeze-Plugs-30mm_p_59977.html

Not to mention the blue glass and the best rear spoiler for a Z32.

Topless - TT conversion.

Owners unknown to me.

No, they went with the car to the crusher.

DaveW, red UK spec scrapped under the last goverment scrappage scheme (side skirts hid terminal rot). I don't have a better picture.

Fortunately neither Chris nor his passenger were hurt. However all Z32s were banned from the track for the rest of the event.

Well tell him to pull his finger out! He had a lovely SWB and his attention to detail was superb. I would be great to see him back in a Z32.

By way of reference these are mine: 18x8.5J (35mm offset) and 18x9.5J (41mm offset) with 245/40 and 275/35 tyres. You can see how they look in the gallery: https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/dbtgallery.php?do=browse_user&userid=14484&gal=dbtgallery&id=21&type=albums Apologies to the OP.

BGV's:

Alex "_cj_"

Stuart's Silver Steak.

Buckaroo Banzai aka Croeso.

That reads like something out of the Sopranos.

The voice of reason - thank you!

It is also dated 2010.

Not from the pics I have and I wouldn't expect them to as they were only used on JDM cars. My earlier post (#12) covers the 2018 rules on levelling and cleaning and my interpretation.

Can you provide a link to where this is officially documented?

I have located the draft MOT 2018 document published on the .gov website: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/671818/mot-inspection-manual-for-classes-3-4-5-and-7-from-20-may-2018-draft.pdf Section 4 deals with lighting and after reading the relevent sections this looks to be the situation: "Some vehicles may be fitted with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps. It is not permitted to convert existing halogen headlamp units for use with HID bulbs. If it is clear that such a conversion has been carried out, rather than replacing the entire unit with one designed and approved for use with HID bulbs, the headlamp should be rejected." So does that mean '99 spec headlights would be acceptable? For headlight levelling: "4.1.5 Levelling devices Where a manual headlamp levelling device (driver control) is fitted it must work. Before operating the control, check the setting it is on and return it to the same place. Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps may be fitted with a suspension or headlamp self-levelling system. Where such systems are fitted, they must work; however, it is accepted that it may not be possible to readily determine the functioning of self-levelling systems. In such cases, the benefit of the doubt must be given." So if you don't have a levelling system it won't be a fail? For headlight cleaning: "4.1.6 Cleaning devices "This inspection only applies to vehicles first used on or after 1 September 2009 equipped with headlamp washers." So Jpecs without headlamp washers and UK specs with headlamp washers won't be tested? There is no other mention of headlamp washers in the document.

Ashley, my condolences on reading this sad news. It would have been fun to have met him.
