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.

ECU upgrade
Another option is to use Speciality-Z in the US who can supply EPROMs or Nistune .BIN files for different configurations of mods: https://www.specialtyz.com/300zx/fueling-ecu/sz-ecu-chips.html Several members on here have successfully used SZ maps.

Alternative front seats
You can replace the drivers side foam parts with the corresponding parts from the passenger side which usually don't suffer from wear. A good trimmer can do that for you without difficulty using a s/h donor seat.

Time to bring my 300zx back to life.
Welcome to the Club and thank you for your support! Where abouts in the UK are you? For engine/mechanical work Jim at PowerZed in Bristol is the top specialist in the country. He can also help with bodywork. https://www.facebook.com/PowerZed-331214947014135/ For paint work, I can recommend Kraftwork near Chelmsford who did my car and at least 4 other members cars. https://www.facebook.com/CarBodyRepairsChelmsford/

MOT test updated re HID retrofitted headlamps
I know this subject has come up in the past but it now looks like the UK authorities have now made the fitment of aftermarket HID (and LED) bulbs into exisisting Halogen lamps an MOT failure. The change made to the latest MOT inspection manual (11th January 2021) now reads: Section 4.1.4 Compliance with requirements “Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.” https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-private-passenger-and-light-commercial-vehicles/4-lamps-reflectors-and-electrical-equipment
