Replica blank titanium keys back on Ebay
These are not the Aruba Dave GZA replicas and are of a flatter design and possibly poorer quality compared to the OEM or GZA keys. However they are available now: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-300zx-Fairlady-Z32-Master-Blank-Titanium-key-Replica/184520268543?hash=item2af643daff:g:vVMAAOSw5epfmJyh The seller's first batch sold out pretty quickly: https://www.ebay.com/itm/nissan-300zx-Fairlady-Z32-Master-Blank-Titanium-key-Replica-/184513489757?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=pB%2BztZ6Kl8C78Sar%2B%2FPD1BxQKXk%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc

Is there a certificate of conformity from Nissan for a JDM 1991 nissan 300zx
For what it's worth I know that my UK spec doesn't qualify for ULEZ exemption - unsurprisingly!

For sale Mike Kojima's Sport Compact Car Magazine Project Z
Probably one of the most documented Z32's the SCC series of articles published in the late '90s covered many aspects of tuning a road going Z32 including engine, drivetrain, suspension and brakes. The series were a blueprint on how to build a Z32 back in the day and helped the community with the development of an extensive aftermarket parts market. https://motoiq.com/1995-z32-300zxtt/ An example of the depth covered in the SCC series is in the link below. https://motoiq.com/engine-tech-building-the-nissan-vg30dett-part-1/

Sale of a 1989 IMSA GTO car
Two further bids were made above $300,000 but I missed the end of the auction and the auctioner has withheld the final amount. It would be good to know what it was. Open to offers now, let's see what happens.

What’s gone wrong with my car?
ECU fault code 13 and Aux Fan (the small electric fan in front of the radiator) running is symptomatic of faulty ECU temp sensor. You can check the EC code here: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/technical/view/1105629/The-Ultimate-Guide-to-ECU-Diagnostics.html Your photo shows just one wire connected to the engine temp sensor, there should be two to form the circuit (see below). FSM Diagnostics for code 13 and faulty ECU temp sensor circuit here: EFEC 115.pdf

99 spec front bumper fitting
You will need to undo the engine undertray and intercooler duct/undertrays fixings at the front edge were they join the bumper lower edge. The parts in the photos need to be transfered to from the '89 to the '99 spec bumper. The front support bar that hold the fog lamps are the same for both types. If you haven't removed the front bumper before, this is a quide: Front bumper bar removal.pdf For reference these are the parts diagrams for the '89 and '99 spec bumpers.

1998 LWB NA - the purple project
Just finished the job. Brake and Clutch pads go on a lot easier if they are heated up first and go soft and malleable. Only needed to remove the two bolts and turn the pedal assembly around. The only way I got locking bush out was to cut away the outer part of the old pad moulding where it is secured (arrowed). This enabled the bush to be pushed out with the hinge bar. To relieve the tension on the spring I cable tied it as shown until the new pad was in place. Rest the pedal against the floor stop and drive the new locking bush into place with a small round bar. You can correctly position the upper return spring by hand once the mounting bolts are back in.

1998 LWB NA - the purple project
Doing the same job Alex. Accelerator pedal has a hinge mechanism with return spring. The white bush needs to be pushed out to allow the metal bar carrying the spring to slide out and be removed. I can't see how that can be easily done and reassembled without removing the pedal assembly (just two bolts and the cable end fitting though). The foot rest is part# 67848-40P00 and super expensive new!

That was fun! Great to see the whole episode devoted to a Z32. There was more than one way to skin this cat and at the end of the day it's infotainment. The presenters gave a good account of the Z32 and it was lovely to see Steve Millen in the show.

Speed sensor wire
Welcome to the Club and thank you for your support! The photo you have posted shows the oil pressure sensor. Is your oil pressure guage working? The speed sensor on the auto transmission looks like this (note the side entry point for the wires).
