To help identify the make, can you post a photo of the alarm fob?

Best wishes on your (Big) Birthday Joel!

Sold for $72,500. Goes to show that beautifully presented modified Z32s can command a premium price (at least in the states).

Best wishes on your Birthday Andy - looking forward to a ride in your souped up swanky slicktop!

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

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

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.

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/

Either way, onwards and upwards prices are going.

Nice his & hers plates!

There are several pipes which drop through the floor via a block from the ABS unit in the o/s boot area under the plastic trim cover. The pipes under the floor are all susceptible to corrosion damage. You will need to get under the car to see which has gone. If one has the others are probably on their way. https://nissan-europe.epc-data.com/300zx/z32/2954-vg30dtt/brake/462/#462B_001

Nissan FAST record for the car. Good luck in your bidding. https://nissan.epc-data.com/fairlady_z/gcz32/6035-vg30dtt/?frame_no=GCZ32-560810

Do you mean this one by any chance? https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1996-nissan-fairlady-300zx-twin-turbo-8qvrPg

Lovely attention to detail and prep - gonna be a goodie!

Best wishes on your Birthday Adam!

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

They should come (for the heat range) pre-gapped. https://www.specialtyz.com/ngk-iridium-ix-spark-plugs.html.html

That kit uses stock sized 280mm disks though.

I took a look on CZP, got a link?

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.

Was painting the strip not an option?
