Shouldn’t my ecu say Impul?
Japanese aftermarket ECUs tend to be mapped for the higher octane fuel that is available in Japan (~100 ron) and are usually more agressive in the fueling and timings as a result. This can cause issues with detonation when the using lower grades of fuel in the UK. It all depends on the mapping Impul did.

Can you post up a picture of the Meta fob? Could help to narrow down the model installed (and what the parts looks like).

Shouldn’t my ecu say Impul?
Not necessarily, depends on the build history of the car. The part# in the photo shows 23710-48P76. This comes up as an ECU for a JDM 1993/09 - 1994/10 TT Auto. http://www.jp-carparts.com/nissan/part_detail.php?maker=nissan&type=132&cartype=14&fig=226&part=2371048P76&page=1&img=226A 001 If you take the upper lid off the ECU (4 screws) you can see if the EPROM is soldered into the PCB which would indicate the factory EPROM (and MAP) is still in place. If the EPROM is socketed (ie removable) it would indicate an aftermarket EPROM (and MAP) is likely to be present.

Stop the extra windscreen wipers wipe
To some, one of the most annoying 'features' of the Z32 is the extra wipe when turning off the windscreen wipers. Here is a solution published on TT.net. http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2645417/New-video-for-the-weekend.html Details here on how to safely open up the wiper control module located on the RH (OS) inner wing near the firewall. http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2645450/It-works-fantastic-Thank-you-for-sorting-this-out.html

My new project for the ULEZ
Just think how much simpler it will be when it's just a couple of electric motors at each end of the car.

Engine bay look familiar?
You can pick up other well known design elements from Italian designed cars that predated the AP-X. Subaru SVX split door windows. Diagonal slash rear wheel arch.

Engine bay look familiar?
It's not a VG30DETT engine as it's referred to a "a new compact and superlightweight V6 engine" in another article. The chassis however is based on a Z32.

Can anybody identify these parts?
True, but did you look at the OP's first post?

Can anybody identify these parts?
I used method 'B' in the link below. Unfortunately, the images have been lost. However, with the annotated picture I have added you can work out what's what. Note that the removal of the orange lens is done through the bulb opening on the back of the assembly (think of key hole surgery). The main clear lens does not need to be removed to do the job. The photo is simply to show the bits referred to in the article. The orange lens and its mounted location is arrowed in green, The metal reflector piece location is arrowed in blue (this is left in place). I used a small Antex soldering iron with a fine tip for the cutting operation. Take great care not to go to far through the amber lense and hit the front clear lens with the hot tip of the iron. The same goes for touching the plastic bulb mount area with the shaft of the iron. Take your time. https://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.448

Premium Member Albums problem
Thanks Lee. I noticed an oddity with the Forum top level navigation to the Gallery. On my PC browser (FF) clicking on the takes you to the Gallery top level section. On my tablet or phone browser (FF) selecting the "hamburger" icon takes you to a menu of forum sub sections. Clicking on Gallery only takes you to the Active and Previous competitions options sub menu. There is no (at least to me) option or way to get you to the Gallery top level section.

Premium Member Albums problem
There seems to be a problem with the Gallery Premium Member Albums. My entry is showing blanks instead of images (as it was before). It is also affecting other member's albums (not all though) in the same way. I've tried another device (tablet) and the same thing is happening.

Good publicity - pity they didn't check for accuracy and completeness Arthur including "All UK twin turbos have rear wheel steering" - true but so do JDM TT's The specialists section could do with an update and also with one very noticeable omission.
