“I do that lap time in a van" - always so bright and happy.

Assuming you mean the coolant lines under the plenum - then there is no real downside. (Nissan over engineering the heating of the TBs) https://conceptzperformance.com/wiki/index.php/Coolant_Line_Bypass and (scroll down): http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/16304.html

An alternative is to go with the Nismo rubber bushes. That are slightly harder than OEM but softer than poly. So the NVH is close to stock. You can get them from Japan (link below and diagram). I would avoid rose jointed suspension parts for the maximum NVH they will inflict on a road going car. https://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bccatpartlist2.php?make=Nissan&carcode=Z32B&intake=FI&category=suspension&subcat=Bushes and Collars&sortby=&brand=NISMO With the Nismo parts diagram: nismo z32 suspension bushes.pdf

Murray Walker, James Hunt, and Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" - F1 at its finest and most entertaining. Thanks for the memories.

Got any close up photos?

Bear in mind that Box Hill is nearly always busy at w/e's, especially the parking around the approach to and the hill itself. An alternative nearby is the Denbies Wine estate which is one roundabout south of the A24/Box Hill roundabout. There is a large parking area available and the site should be open by then. https://www.denbies.co.uk

Best wishes on your Birthday Joel!

This should help (scroll down to pics of aluminum caliper rotor channel gap): https://importnut.net/the-definitive-300zx-brake-swap-justifying-the-upgrade/

Gets my vote.

Thanks for organising this Tom. I would be up for a day out like this if it was arranged a little time after the 29th.

I guess it depends on the lockdown rules still being followed the day before the planned 29th March next stage. I would think the roads will be busy!

These are the TB setup pages from the FSM: em 21.pdf and from the CZP Wiki pages: https://conceptzperformance.com/wiki/index.php/Throttle_Body and TPS setup: https://conceptzperformance.com/wiki/index.php/Throttle_Position_Sensor

Best wishes on your Birthday Andy!

If by replacement you mean OEM - new '89 spec spoilers are NLA (at least in Europe). However it would be worth trying a Nissan parts dept or allcarpartsfast.co.uk as thay still occasionally turn up in stock. Part# J6030-42P25. The fit and finish of the OEM spoiler is much better than the replicas. However they will be expensive if you can locate one. If you do manage to get one then I can show you how to mount it on the tailgate with the maximum protection to avoid the water damage which kills them. Before I got a new OEM spoiler I bought a Kuruma Z Zeta replica but was very disappointed in the fit and sold it on. Another alternative (similar shape) is the TwinZ (Joely P has one fitted).

Wouldn't it be better to send it all to PZ "as is" to check and decide what to use or replace?

Are you not sending all this engine stuff to PZ to work on?

Whereabouts under the passenger wing? Photo would help with indentification

Many thanks for your kind words - very much appreciated!

Progress at last! The other video EPR posted on YT looks (and sounds) even better.

Those look nice Andy. Are Infinity making the full system or just the "cat back" in 2.5" or 3" pipework? Any other silencing/ noise management apart from the back boxes?

Well done on getting another UK spec (and a blue one a that) back on the road. Looking forward to pictures of the car. On the count it is pretty much the same as I posted above (plus one more now!) I'll update the record I have for you car when MOT'd.

These are the pages from the '96 FSM for the Electric HICAS. It is likely that just the Actuator was removed (to fit the lock out bar) leaving the rest of the system intact.
