Thanks for pictures Tom. It does look a bit damp! Hopefully Go-Japan! will be dryer.

Sold For $55,000. Feels pretty good!

Wow!

What make/type are the ceiling lights?

$42,500 with 9 and a bit hours to go.

Mike, Nissan use VG30DTT in the parts database for the VG30DETT. The filter box I posted above says Z32 on one side and Z31 VG30E, VG30ET on the other. https://nissan-europe.epc-data.com/300zx/z32/2953-vg30dtt/engine_mechanical/150/15208/ (for Euro/UK)

I've been using these:

Any other takers? The Brands Hatch Circuit is a wonderful motorsports venue. Whilst Simply Japanese@Beaulieu is usually the Club's big south of England get together this could be the one to make up for that in 2021 and a chance for us to meet up again after what seems a very long time!

Lowering the car and correcting the front camber by increasing the length of the upper control arm also changes the caster and has the effect of moving the wheel forward (the upper control arm is at 45 degrees or so with respect to the lower control arm). This can result in the tyre rubbing against the plastic liner on full lock.

Nice tyres!

Thanks for the writeup. I would add that it is worthwhile masking around the door handle aperture before starting the handle removal/replacement to protect the paintwork.

$35,000 with 2 days to go.

$28,000 with 5 days to go.

Given that the rest of the car is done... Anyway, great news that things are now (literally) moving along.

Well done Nick, great to see the old girl back on the road again! Would love to see the car in the metal soon.

Currently up for auction in the US with bidding now at $25,000 with 6 days to run a very clean low mileage example. How high will bidding go? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-54/ Oh, and if that was my car and I saw how it had been lifted off the ground I would hit the roof!

Welcome to the Club Alan and thank your for your support! What Z32 body type are you after (2+0 or 2+2 with Targa Tops, 2+0 Slicktop, 2+0 Convertible)? TT or NA engine (depends on body type)?

Is this for a Racelogic TC?

This guide shows you how to trace a parasitic drain problem: https://www.wikihow.com/Find-a-Parasitic-Battery-Drain The boot light switch can be problematic (boot light and interior light staying on). Alarm not arming properly (fault in one of the sensor/triggers).

My Z profile pictures shows the extra sidewall depth you get with 18" wheels and tyres. The Michelin PS4 tyres have quite flexible sidewalls compared to some other brands I have used.

I'm running the KYB AGX Eibach combo. The Eibach springs have a 0.8" drop over OEM which removes the "4x4" look with larger than stock wheels. The picture below shows my car on OEM springs with 18" wheels before fitting KYB/Eibachs. The spring rates for OEM (US market) and Eibach springs. http://twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/technical/view/1080906/300zx-OEM-Spring-Rates-Vs-Eibach-Aftermarket-Spring-Rates.html UK spec is TT Front: 146 lbs/in and TT Rear 146 lbs/in (from FSM)

Welcome back Richard. Glad to see that you are OK. Here is a blast from the past for you (Japanese Tuner '06)!

The odometer runs off the same signal path as the speedometer. Check the speed sensor wiring by the gearbox, the harness, connector (inc corrosion) and wires going into the sensor itself can get damaged and go o/c. Make sure the connectors on the back of the gauge cluster are properly seated and good. The speedo gauge itself has a signal processing function from the speed sensor (analogue) to the electronics for the ECU/HICAS/Power Steering/Cruise Control etc and the odometer and they do fail. Repair is difficult and replacement with another s/h working gauge is the only option. The FSM check for the speed sensor itself: el-44.pdf It is a bit of a haul but a trip to Jim@PowerZed near Bristol is the best bet to keep your car in fine fettle - it will be well worth the effort.

The KYB catalog lists the 554104 for the Z31 300ZX (page 205) https://issuu.com/kybeurope/docs/2018_catalogue_-_shock_absorber The OEM Z32 rear shock will look like this: https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-shock-absorber-rear-twin-turbo-tt-nissan-300zx-90-96-z32-56210-30p25_p_3945.php and the KYB versions: https://conceptzperformance.com/kyb-excel-g-shock-rear-shock-nissan-300zx-z32-341151_p_10962.php https://conceptzperformance.com/kyb-741028-agx-adjustable-shock-rear-nissan-300zx-90-96-z32_p_1810.php UK spec Z32's have adustable rear shocks (two settings controlled by an acutator on top of the shock) which isn't actually used but is fitted by the factory. JDM specs don't have these. Otherwise the shocks are the same fittment. The UK spec actuators are redundant when fitting aftermarket rear shocks.

Although Italy won the competition, this match result at Wembey left a certain Schadenfreude!
