Exhaust help and opinions
This is the flowchart that should be followed for an MOT emissions test. The important point is that the Z32 300ZX is NOT in the "EGA database or the In-service Emissions book" So for Z32s first used before August '95 a "Non-cat test" should be followed. Also make sure that the tester is not using another Z model from the EGA database, for example a Z33 which is in the database and therefore is CAT present tested. It has happened.

Rad drain valve.
For Koyo radiators drain and relief are M10-1.25.

Wheels!
Not necessarily. The inner shape of the spokes needs to be taken into account. The way to be sure of clearance with a BBK and a specific wheel is to get hold of the profile drawing and use as per the instructions in the attached pdf. This profile drawing was the one I used for the R33 AP CP5555 kit and my Blitz wheels. I'm not aware of one for the R33 Brembo kit however. CP5555-1000 kit profile.pdf

What did you do to your zed today?
If you miss the smell of petrol on a cold morning this could be just the thing to overcome the loss.

1998 LWB NA - the purple project
Re your stuck CAS to bracket. I had the same with a late CAS I bought s/h. To avoid damaging it I cut the bracket itself at two points to just before the CAS and then split with a small cold chisel and light taps. The bracket is a soft alloy casting and splits easily. Getting another bracket would be an easier (and cheaper) option.

Killed my gearbox.......
This^^^ and then collect the manual parts at your leisure in case you have a change of heart in the future. You will always be able to sell them on if not.

I'm chSing an oem Power steering cooler please help.
Another option if you want to retain a factory look could be a PS cooler from another Nissan. This is of similar design (tube and fin) and is compact. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143094502603

Air con upgrade
It is eminently possible to convert from R12 to a later refrigerant like R134a. I would find a specialist who knows that. This is a suitable write-up to get you up to speed on what's involved: https://conceptzperformance.com/wiki/index.php?title=R134A_Conversion Nissan published a very detailed Sevice Bulletin describing the procedure in detail (more than needs to be done, see above) but here for reference NTB96-023a.pdf

brake lines
Got a link to the ones you have posted? If you are running stock (or R33 brembo) calipers and keeping the short hardlines (see link below for example) from the calipers then yes. https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-300zx-front-brake-caliper-fluid-line-tube-rh-z32-46245-33p10_p_6045.php Here are the Technafit I've used in the past: https://conceptzperformance.com/technafit-teflon-coated-stainless-steel-brake-lines-nissan-300zx-z32-nis-1300_p_1886.php

- Old Car Road Trip - 300zx and 928 drive the Pacific Coast
From the guys that brought us the lovely "300ZX vs Supra vs RX7" video (here) this is their latest road trip up the North American pacific coast from San Francisco to Seattle in a 300ZX and 928. Stunning coastal scenery and roads along with gorgeous film work. A road trip in a 300ZX to remember! Watch in full screen.- Modified '90 Nissan 300ZX TT Manual in US Auction
Currently up for auction in the US with bidding now at $26,000 with 5 days to run a highly modified and clean example. Normally modified cars don't do so well in these auctions but this one is making good progress so far with the bids. Worth checking out the engine's performance figures in the listing. For the power the stock brakes look a bit underwhelming! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-84/- White '96 car on Car & Classic auction shortly....
Either way, onwards and upwards prices are going. - Old Car Road Trip - 300zx and 928 drive the Pacific Coast
