Are later Z32's better than their earlier cousins?
Absolutely! Condition is everything age comes second. We have had owners who have let their emotions get the better of them when buying a Z32 and have come to regret their impulsiveness. Take your time in your search and don't let your heart rule your head when viewing a car.

Hello!
Welcome to the Club! Go with a TT manual. It is where most owners want to be. You have the choice of 2+0 or 2+2's from Japan (JDM) or 2+2 UK spec. Bodywork condition first consideration. JDMs (imports) are usually (but not always) in better condition for their age compared to UK specs as the Japanese don't salt their roads. What sort of budget are you playing with?

300ZX TT - A18GCK
As you are flashing the cash Raja you might want to see if you can still get these OEM pipes from Japan. The originals are usually rock hard.

Heater problem
Welcome to the Club! For manual heater controls, the problem could be with the air mix actuator failing. Similar discussion in thread below: "I’ve got the later, manual air distribution controls, which now seem to be stuck on dash only. Ever since I had the car all positions have worked except full demist, which just clicked so I guess a rod is jammed or broken. But now I get no noise from the dash at all when I turn it.

BHP Show - 2nd May 2022 - Lydden Hill, Kent
Thanks for taking the time to organise this Tom. Reading the burb for club stands it look like buying a stand includes entry tickets for exhibitors (minimum 5 cars). "To qualify for a club stand the club admin needs 5 cars as a minimum. Simply choose the “Initial Club Booking” option to register your club which will automatically provide 5 club stand driver tickets (passengers require a GENERAL PUBLIC ticket for entry).

300zx uk spec cutting out
If you have an early PTU fitted (left in picture) then they are prone to failure from heat and vibration. The symptoms being missing and/or complete failure after getting hot. Nissan produced a replacement PTU (right in picture) which fixes the problem. It is also worth upgrading anyway to the later PTU as a preventative measure. Also check the PTU connectors for corrosion and clean if needed. a The replacement kit is available from here (example supplier) and is plug and play replacement: https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-power-transistor-unit-ptu-series-2-kit-nissan-300zx-z32-22020-97e25_p_605.php
