It was a bit wet! But will do it again in the dry, not one to leave off my bucket list without doing it properly.

What did you have in mind?

Then put it to a poll.

The screws may have imperial threads Mike. No 10 size is 0.19" diameter which is 4.826mm so will look like M5. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Install-Bay-Alpine-8-Piece-ISO-Mounting-Screws-Single-or-2-DIN-Radio/222644735209?

Watching your every move Simon!

Wonderful news Nick! Been a long journey (in more than one sense). Very much looking foward to the next steps!

Best wishes on your Birthday Lee!

Because the country has already voted on the matter in 2016. The (Il)liberal (Un)democrats will never accept the democratic will of the people. In 2010 they campaigned for an In-Out referendum on our membership of the EU. In 2016 they fought and lost that referendum that they had demanded. Now they are demanding the referendum result is ignored. If they lose the election (a refendum in all but name on Brexit) they will continue to campaign (read obstruct) at every opportunity to overturn the democratic result. It is worth remembering that their new leader has gone on the record to say that in the event of a second referendum again voting leave, then the party will not accept the result and continue campaigning (read obstruct) to remain. If we believe that this country is a democracy then country needs political parties and MPs who respect the will of the people when asked and don't try and pick and choose what votes they support.

Took the car out on a lovely sunny morning in Surrey - targas off, audio on! Photos back at base.

Irish whiskey.

Very nice!

I've got a spare PS pot to practice on - any use?

Just suck the fluid out with a syringe till you get to the bottom of the pot. Disconnect the lines (a small amount of fluid will come out). When done reconnect and refill.

The engine oil cooler for UK specs (21305-37P00) is larger than the JDM and US cars. It is sold in the US as a Nismo part: https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nismo-jdm-oil-cooler-nissan-300zx-z32-21305-37p00_p_6127.php The power steering cooler is NLA.

Chris, the pipework runs above the crash bar and below the bumper. I would just use cable ties to keep everything in place.

The early years of production '89-'90 more cars were exported than for domestic. '91 was about equal (Brian Long book) As far as I know engine numbering were independent of country/market/model and just counted up for NA and TT engines as they came of the engine assembly line. The ECU would change but the engine mechanicals would be the same. It would be good to get some engine numbers of early JDMs to see if they are different to the format in the TSB above numbers above.

Re soft valves - engines that may be affected have stamped engine numbers lower than VG30-777599 for NA's and VG30-619550 for TT's (according to Nissan's NTB93-105 bulletin). Some background information for the curious: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/main/view/960673/Soft-valves.html http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/main/view/916703/Nissan-Soft-Valves--Ive-been-working-on-putting-my-TT.html

With respects to the WA - Parliament's MP's from all sides rejected it three times. The WA was (and still is) a dreadfull deal (even without the implications of the never-ending backstop for the whole of the UK). The WA was pretty much dictated to the UK by Brussels and any compromise was almost entirely on the UK's side during negotiations (if you could call them that). The WA is full of one-sided articles. This summarizes the top 40: https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/12/the-top-40-horrors-lurking-in-the-small-print-of-theresa-mays-brexit-deal-2/

I rather think that democracy in this country is falling apart. As to what the remain/leave split is after 3 years, well the next GE will almost certainly be fought on remain/leave party lines so we will see then.

Do they understand the Target2 liabilities their country has - they would certainly need a sense of humour if that blows up.

Looks like you could use SS fixings with something like Tef-Gel which would mean that the risk of the fixings rusting is removed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tikal-Tef-Gel-Anti-Corrosion-Gel-10ml-Tube-Brush/153630802057

Useful to know. BTW the marking on the bolt head in your picture is A2-70 which is stainless steel.
