You will almost certainly "get caught" for the duty these days. You will be charged duty (4.5%) on the declared value of the goods and then VAT (20%) on the goods, the shipping and duty combined. Plus a courier handing admin fee for customs clearance. BTW are you planning on doing the work yourself? If so, this is a compehensive write up for reference: https://conceptzperformance.com/wiki/index.php/Timing_Belt_Service

Welcome to the Club! When you say "120K" service, there are quite a few parts normally changed as part of that service. This US retailer (used by lots of members) gives you an idea. https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-czp-oem-120k-complete-timing-belt-kit-nissan-300zx-z32-13001-0xx12_p_3849.php

What a sight for sore eyes Nick! Those engine shots have been a long time coming for you.

Welcome to the Club. Would you mind letting us know details about the car? A bit more information/pictures would would help identifying the "these two funky connectors on right side" The Speedo and Odometer are working? Steering heavy? You are aware that you must clear ECU error codes after making repairs to see if the fault has been fixed?

DJ's point about the A/C got me doing a bit of research on the model family for the JDM "99" series. There were four named types - "Version R" in 2+2 "Version S" in 2+2, "Version S" in 2+0 (Slicktop) and "300ZX" in 2+2 (all available TT or NA). From a copy of the JDM FAST book (here) covering the VINs (chassis numbers) allocated during the '98 to 2K production for the "99" series start (from October '98) and go up to (production ends) as follows (cross-checked in FAST): CZ32 (2+0 TT) Version S (Slicktop) 560001 to 560039 GCZ32 (2+2 TT) Version R, Version S and 300ZX 570001 to 570359 GZ32 (2+2 NA) Version R, Version S and 300ZX 060001 to 060653 Z32 (2+0 NA) Version S (Slicktop) 050001 to 050078 Note: there may be gaps in the VIN ranges above where a particular VIN doesn’t exist in the FAST database. So the ranges are not necessarily the total numbers built. It turns out that the "300ZX" was standard fitted with Auto A/C whilst the others were standard fitted with manual A/C. The translated pages are from a copy of the JDM "99" marketing brochure (here). The translated text quality is not perfect but you can get the drift of what is being described (click images to enlarge). The VIN plate model codes for the "99" series is below (translated) and shows the codes J, T and X for the Version S, R and 300ZX types respectively. A quick search in the Nissan FAST database shows this example of the 300ZX type (X) which usually (but not always) indicates that the car was in fact built, in this case a 2+2 TT auto in silver metallic. I don't know how many X's (300ZX) were built in the "99" series but it would be great to see examples of the type. The version R and S's being usually associated with the "99" models.

With my curiosity piqued it looks like someone has had a go at fixing the gears, amazing the detail you can get to with 3D printing. https://imgur.com/gallery/Bk5aer5

Well one model in the 1999 range had digital climate control pods, the white one on the right of the group.

Love the colour coordinated tie down straps!

Diagnostics for fan and mode switches.

For calendar months of production start with 9901. If you want model year then from 9810 when the new 570001 VINs start which are the "99s".

Look for the GCZ32 group (2+2 TTs) in the first colum, then the date range (9901 to 9912 or beyond) and the sum the VIN range for each month you are interested and sum that the lot up.

This should help: https://z32enjoytheride.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/z32-jdm-production-numbers.pdf

I would probably assume that both fuel pump and starter are wired into the two immobilisation circuits. There are two relays inside the M999T (see first page of instructions) which make and break the circuits. You could pull the two fuses 3A and 20A (see page four of intructions) and see if that disables the alarm and sets the immobiliser relays to closed allowing the starter motor and fuel pump to operate. Otherwise you can join the two groups of black immobiliser wires together inside each of the red circles below to remake the two circuits.

This any use? http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2549845/I-have-one-solenoid-and-you-only-need-one-if.html

If you do decide to cut them back make sure the wires (harness side) are scraped back to clean copper. When I did mine I found that the solder joint wouldn't take and left a dry joint.

Delicious!

The diagram shows that it is a continuous run between the ECU and PTU (no connector shown) for the runs. There is no corrosion on the ECU/PTU connector pins (dark dull surface)? You might also want to check that the ECU plug is properly seated, take it off and carefully plug back in. Whilst it's off check pin 1 for damage and the harness join You could also run a test wire from ECU pin 1 (test clip onto to the harness wire) to the PTU pin 1 to see if that clears the continuity problem. Have a word with Jim@PZ on his views on WS vs OEM harnesses (nine is OEM). Both WS and OEM are only available in LHD form which can be fitted to a RHD car with a small amount of extra harness by the firewall tucked away. Z1 also make their own LHD engine harness, again see if Jim has an opinion on them as he sources lots of parts from Z1.

Just so you know the arc that the outer joint of the FUCA travels in two planes as the vertical link travels up and down. This is not commonly understood even by aftermarket parts manufacturers. It is one of the reasons that Nissan used compliant bushes to allow for the twisting of the link as it moves up and down and the reason for the flanged nuts and bolts.

I picked it up as the OEM parts have a flanged bolt head and nut to distribute the load at the fixing points which is considerable.

That "silver" bolt is just temporary?

You might still be able to get the Cusco Japan (part #249 561 A) version (which I bought many years ago). Pricey for what it is. https://www.nengun.com/cusco/brake-cylinder-stopper https://www.rhdjapan.com/cusco-brake-cylinder-stopper-bcs-kit-z32.html Installed (not my car).

That master cylinder brace works for RHD cars?

SpecialtyZ, CZP or Z1 in the States can supply the kit. I've fitted it and it works fine.
