Boot spoiler question-Is there always one from factory-Who has the answer?
What year is your car? From the factory '89-'93 TT's had the earlier spoiler shown in the first image below, whilst '94 on had the second (so called tea tray) spoiler. Nissan changed over to the later type because of problems with rotting with the earlier foam based type. Note the third brake light types used for each version, the earlier one is part of the spoiler itself, the latter one (like yours) is part of the boot lid.

Christmas gifts for my Zed
This is the original post I made when I used Infinity Kappa tweeters. Since then I have made new versions using JL Audio tweeters (which you can see in my gallery photos) The technique was the same for both. https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/topic/141120-tweeter-pods/

TK3 blue paint
As far as I'm aware the factory painted the engine bay with just the base coat. The P4U base coat dries to a rather dull flat/satin finish. With the clear coat on it is a very good match to the rest of the car. I need to return your seats and other stuff so I'll spray a sample for you to see and bring that with me.

TK3 blue paint
I've had very good results with TK3 paint supplied by these folks: http://www.paints4u.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=5423 The paint comes out of the nozzle in a thin vertical "band" and layers up beautifully. The TK3 colour match (with the clear coat) was perfect.

Powder coat OEM colour
Take care with the blasting as I have a spare which was carefully sandblasted but still blew small holes in some of the cooling fins.

Powder coat OEM colour
Not necessarily - Nissan added additional coolers for Euro spec cars after high speed testing on German autobahns. In the case of the PS system the mechanical pump is designed to provide full flow at, or very close to, engine idle speed (needed for example with low engine revs and parking). As engine revs increase and are maintained (high speed driving) more and more fluid is being pumped around the (open spool) system. As such, the oil heats rapidly, and can without additional cooling overheat and cavitate resulting in PS performance degredation and/or failure. Granted that for most everyday driving the cooler is probably unnecessary, but Nissan would have been conservative for their specifications for the European market. If you track/race your car adequate PS cooling is something to bear in mind. Here is a post on TT.net with folks experiencing PS failures through overheating when using their cars on the track: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2576746/Power-steering-pump-issue-after-track-session.html

It wasn't that long ago that a Z32 would be condemned for that amount of corrosion. Lovely to see it being restored!
