Dies on cold idle, rough when warming up
Did you disconnect the o2 sensors to test? Here is a useful guide on boost leak location (or vacuum leak when off boost): http://www.thumper300zx.com/z32/boostleaks/boost_leak_guide.htm 5 psi is considered the safe maximum for pressurising intake system whilst testing.

Driver's side under dash vent
You might find one layer is enough as there is not much of a gap between the trim and the duct.

Don't always give up on obsolete stock.
Do you mean nissangenuine.com? Then yes - Endon Services. It is worth checking both as although they are the same company the prices can vary for the same part.

Simon this is the seller I mentioned to you on TT.net (last para): http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/1992598/Nissan-vs-eBay-pinstripe-ltunbelievably-long-lolamgt.html eBay listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300ZX-TURBO-NISSAN-LOWER-STRIPES-1990-1997-300-ZX-2-2-/152023851841?hash=item236553e341:m:mCZwuUh2UhNYUkTkM5Q58qQ This is the eBay listing which you originally referred me to. I bought a roll (CHARCOAL) from them. Unfortunately they have stopped trading on eBay, but the company is still trading. Might be worth a call. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/321196385398? http://www.auragraphics.com/

Thanks for taking the time to put the videos together Ali, nice mementoes.

What did you do to your zed today?
Simon very kindly dropped off the Toshio Yamashita (Yama san) signed centre arm rest underside today. Having travelled all the way to ZCON in the US, here it is back in situ - really chuffed to bits. Lovely addition to the car - thanks again Simon.

engine in safe mode
With code 55 how do you know the engine is in safe mode? What do you mean by "reset tps"?

clutch/gearbox linkage
In the first instance, try putting some grease on the clutch fork pivot ball/fork interface. You can get at it via the clutch fork cover on the bellhousing (by the slave cylinder). Put a blob of lithium grease (high melting point) on the end of a stick and apply. Sounds daft but it worked for me. Otherwise your clutch slave cylinder may be sticking and need replacement.

Boxhill to Brighton run - Sunday 2nd July
Lovely hot day out by the seaside. Good run from Boxhill to the coast (and back). Great to see you all and thanks to Howard for organising the event. Gary's very rare manual UK spec in EH7 (Yellow Pearl Metallic) in great condition. Built August '90. Spoiler finally attached! What better place to have lunch...
