It's great to see an unloved car going to a good home. Looks wonderful on that crunchy gravel drive! Lovely colour too.

Hubert, HKS EVC 4 information: HKS EVC IV Installation Instructions.pdf HKS EVC IV Set Up Instructions.pdf Car sounds a lot better than it did when you collected it!

No need to pack those Simon, it's a non-runner!

Are you sure all the air is out of the system? If it is, then this guide describes symptoms (including yours) and adjustment procedure: http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnetfaq/FAQpages/clutchadjustment.html

Sorry but they (the arch flairs) don't work for me on a Z32. They remind me of the Audi "look at me how tough I am" flares you see on the RS cars. Z32's don't need to show off like that. In this case the return isn't even complete on lower rear part of the flare and the bumper (see arrow), which just accentuates the stuck on look. On another level what is going on with that panel gap between the bumper and the rear wing!?

Pop one of these in the back of your car and you will feel safer!
Now that is what I call turning sow's ear into a silk purse! You are going to have one hell of a good looking car, and to think you were thinking of getting an M3...Paul, you could have got one of these conversions and stayed with us!
Have you tried Mike@MJP?Hubert exporting another UK spec 300ZX to France. No wonder they are becoming a rare sight in this country!
Yes and yes. I used this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Redline-MT-90-Manual-Transmission-Gear-Oil-75W90-1-US-Quart-0-94-Ltr-/310846786415?pt=UK_Vehicle_Oils_Lubricants_Fluids&hash=item485fe98b6fNo, VC LSD in the diff is fully enclosed with its own fluid. 75W90 diff oil is fine.The top photo is Brickyard AX8 is it not? Here is another car in the same colour:
And which one gets more heads turning...Not at my age! I get the seat right back, sit or knell on the floor and put a wrapped up towel over the sill to protect my ribs. It is not the most comfortable position I'll grant you.It is pretty easy to get to. You will also need to remove the plastic door sill cover as it overlaps a tab on the kick panel (assuming of course it hasn't already been broken off). This is the item (image is for LHD car):
Looks like this late UK spec car is still up for grabs. Last offer was declined today on ebay listing and KGF website still has it listed. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-Formidable-Z32-Nissan-300ZX-Twin-Turbo-with-Full-History-and-an-Amazing-Tale-/281256996622?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item417c392f0e http://www.kgfclassiccars.co.uk/details.php?cid=248 Someone give this car a home! Spread the word...HKS controller lives in the glove box fixed to the top surface. Set to 1 bar maximum boost, I treat it as a "fit and forget", so don't need to see it when driving. It also reduces the temptation to play around with settings...HKS EVC 4 - Reliable system fitted over 10 years ago, no problems. Stepper motor is a precise and efficient design and is very good at holding a steady boost and catching boost spikes as they occur.
Best wishes on your Birthday Richard!
You after the circuit diagrams? http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/manual/manual/el/070.gif http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/manual/manual/el/072.gifThat depends on what he said, email "interested" is not the same as calling "will buy for full asking price in cash if car is as described". If it was me, and I was serious about the car, then I would call the dealer and say so.It was hot weather! The constant stop, rev the engine, move a bit (few yards) and stop again got the thing going. I still have the AC rad in place, so that might have contributed. The cooling system, VC etc is all working fine, it was just a *very" hot day. The other bonus (if you can call it that) is that you can hear and feel when the aux fan is on.
