'90 300ZX TT Manual with 10K miles in Dubai
I don't (as yet) have anything further on the brakes fitted in the Dubai car Tom but this info may be of use to you. R32 GTR disks are 296mm as opposed to the Z32 stock 280mm, so slightly larger (and thicker) The R32 calipers and discs will fit under stock wheels with a thin spacers. http://twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2529643/The-R32-kit-and-variations-on-it-are-pointless-in-2013.html pics: https://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/tech/gtr/gtr32brake.htm

MOT history shows up nothing serious. As far as OC are concerned: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09041004/insolvency

'90 300ZX TT Manual with 10K miles in Dubai
Came across this lovely example (now sold) at Tomini Classics in Dubai. What caught my eye apart from the superb condition of this car was the big brake kit fitted under the stock front wheels. I've seen cars with the stock calipers moved out with larger disks under stock wheels but this looks to be a BBK with much larger calipers and two piece brake discs. Very nicely done. Right click on images in link for nice hires. https://www.tominiclassics.com/featcar/nissan-300zx-twin-turbo/

Rear Diff Cooler hardlines?
The loop is in series with the diff oil cooler. There is no explanation in the FSM as to the purpose other than the line is described as "TUBE ASSY-DIFFERENTIAL OIL COOLER" in the parts system. The whole diff cooler sysem was introduced by Nissan after very high speed runs in Germany and is largely redundant for normal driving conditions. This is the FSM page for the UK/Euro spec cars which have it fitted (click image for better res). I can't see why you couldn't do as you suggest and bypass the loop. BTW you appear to be missing the bumper fixing clips that fix the bumper tabs to the chassis in your pictures above (link for ref): https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-rear-bumper-fastener-nissan-300zx-z32-85071-30p00_p_6114.php

Boot Hatch Underside Moldings
BTW the "purple" item in your diagram is the anti-vibration weight attached to the underside of the tailgate. A mysterious block of metal suspended on rubber mounts it was designed to reduce tailgate flutter.

Boot Hatch Underside Moldings
I've used them several times without any problems. Very fast shipping from Japan with FedeX. The only thing that can slow things down is if an item you want is not available (despite being listed as not discontinued) then order invoice quote back to you (parts plus shipping) will be withheld for you to decide what to do.

New MOT rules
First time I've seen a 4.1.4 (c) Arthur. Was that the same tester who (presumably) passed the car previously with the HIDs fitted?
