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?

New MOT rules
Before I bought the '99 spec OEM HIDs headlights I asked my MOT tester about fitting them and the MOT test. He told me that since they were manufactured by Nissan for the Z32 and I could show that and the bulb and projector were designed to work together he would pass them. He wasn't bothered by a lack of the "E" symbol on the glass. The fact that the car doesn't have self leveling fitted didn't matter either, but the UK spec headlight washers need to work. Of course my experience may be down to an individual examiners interpretation of the rules, but two MOTs later no issues.

Superbowl advert
Nissan pulled the ad after being succesfully lobbied by advertising watchdog groups over fears that easily suggestible viewers might be encouraged to drive the car at excessive speed. Anyway, here is a picture of the making of the "jump" section of the ad by Ridley Scott in the Mojave desert.

Lowering My ZX
You will also need (should) correct the camber when dropping the height. This post gives more information on using shims to do the job: https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/topic/157334-ride-height-to-camber-ratio/?do=findComment&comment=1717850

Have you checked that they are genuine LMGT2s?

Such a nice Japanese design. I remember when the Sport Compact Car Project 300ZX used them. I got down to 2 designs - Equips or Blitz and went with the later, but it was a very close choice!

Mounting adapter for Bosch IAT/MAP sensor
For aftermarket engine management setups which use MAP (manifold pressure) and IAT (intake air temperature) sensors then this little adaptor for a Bosch combined MAP and IAT sensor mounted to the EGR flange on the underside of the plenum could be of interest. (NB check the manufacturer's note regarding oil in the plenum). Great to see a new Z32 product innovation! https://www.polarengineering.co/product-page/nissan-z32-300zx-mounting-adapter-for-bosch-iat-map-sensor

What did you do to your zed today?
No chance of that around here, roads have been salted and cars are driving around covered in salt dust!

Rough idle after injector wiring connector disconnect and reconnect
The female part of the connector (arrowed) in picture below looks to be incorrectly seated (and the wrong way up).

Don't throw the Eibachs out, I'll have them for spares.

New MOT rules
Probably about the same number that know if/when HIDs were factory fitted to the projector low beams.

Code 26 boost sensor fault
Do you have the original 8-bit ECU fitted? The later 16-bit ECU's fitted to '95+cars do have a seperate boost sensor and signal input to the ECU so will throw a 26 if it is faulty or missing which you will get if the ECU has been changed to a later type.
