Z32s use "Traditional" Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT) Ethylene Glycol base. In this country (winter) 50/50 mix with distilled water is satisfactory. The product you have bought from Halfords is IAT antifreeze so is OK to use. http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/antifreeze/halfords-silicate-antifreeze-concentrate-2-litres

Congratulations on your purchase! Great colour BTW.

Their modified policy includes Track Day/Rally cover as a benefit: https://www.lancasterinsurance.co.uk/insurance/modified-car-insurance/ Were you seeking a quote under their Classic policies?

No wonder that door shuts with a thud Joel!

Excellent, good to know it will stay in place when you get to cross an Alpine pass!

That stuff wouldn't be used in aircraft maintenance by any chance?

Doesn't that stuff bubble up in the heat of the sun?

Come on spill the beans, what did you use?

Well big change here since this noon. Temperature has dropped to 17°C , some very angry looking clouds rapidly passing through, no sun now and at times a surreal pink light (bit like a partial eclipse). Gusts a bit stonger than earlier.
-
Indeed it is Gary - very warm (21°C), clear sunny skies and somewhat blustery here - rather pleasant really for the time of year.

I know which way I would go - stock or OEM+ (you can easily reverse the mods/changes back to original). In years to come you will be the owner of a more appreaciated, sought after and valuable car.

Well done James! Look forward to reading the article.

Now that would be a sight to behold! BTW UK specs didn't go on sale until spring 1990.

Different friction compounds. Bluestuff was their first "race" pad superseded by the NDX type. NDX pads are marked on the back face as below:

Found another picture I had taken - Zedfest '09.

Bluestuff NDX pads have very good bite from cold (the coefficient of friction is > .6μ when cold) which is unusual for "race" pads which normally have poor braking performance when cold and only start performing when the pads and disks have come up to temperature. I've used them for a while now and have been pleased with their performance so far for road use. They are quiet and after bedding in properly have low dusting. They are also pretty kind to the disks (low rate of wear).

They won't have passed R90 for applications where they were being used as direct replacements for factory fitted pads in an otherwise stock setup. The R90 compliance testing relies on comparing the performance of replacement pads with those originally fitted. In the case of aftermarket BBKs with completely new larger discs, calipers and pads it is not possible to compare like with like and so R90 doesn't apply.
-
Bluestuff NDX are not the same as plain Bluestuff and the two are often conflated. NDX pads work fine for road use. As for ECE R90, when I checked a while back it only applied to the original factory fitted pads and not pads fitted to aftermarket calipers (like AP and Ksport) used on the road. Has this changed?
-
How worn are your discs? You might also consider EBC Bluestuff NDX pads. I use them and so does BigH to good effect.

Can you take a photo of the markings on top of the relay? This looks to to be the same (in 9v form): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3V-5V-6V-9V-12V-24V-48V-DC-Mini-Power-Relay-SPDT-10A-PCB-Mount-5-Pins-SONGLE-UK/271897325453?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D46150%26meid%3D4ad4b8a1c591443ea22b3bd45fddf905%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D192028926270&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
