Is No3 spark plug wet with fuel on removal after engine run? Have you checked No3 spark plug is firing? Measure the resistance of the No3 injector.

To paraphrase the late great Eric Morecambe "It has all the right wheels, just not necessarily in the right order"

UK spec "spotted" on Pistonheads - nice write-up. What also caught my eye were the rather favourable comments that followed on Z32s. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=2080391 and the for sale advert. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/16723286

That's what I did Richard, makes all the difference. Moved the bulb holder and harness over.

When you take the pistons out check the BMC bore for scratches. If they are present it is likely the refurb kit won't work.

Hope the treatment is working!

The snap ring (stopper cap in picture) comes as part of the refurb kit. The tabs can be prised back to release. Refurb kit for Tokico TT ABS BMC: https://zcentre.co.uk/product/300zx-brake-master-cylinder-rebuid-kit-tt-and-nt-with-abs/

Very nice. What are you going to use for the subframe bushes?

Welcome to the Club and the start of your Z32 adventure!

Is this of help to you for your Avatar picture? 170x128 pixels.

Nice part of the world Richard. Blue does seem to look its best in front of the yellow Cotswold stone.

As far as I am concerned richly deserved Tom - well done and a big thank you from me for all you do for the Club.

Have you checked the PTU connections for corrosion? Common problem. The earlier PTU's are also prone to failure. This is the wiring diagram for the ignition system if you need to trace back to the ECU. Also check that the ECU plug is properly seated, take it off and carefully plug back in.

Alex, sorry to read about the reason for the sale of your lovely Z - my best wishes to you.

Was the odometer still working after the speedometer failed? The speedo gauge itself has a signal processing function from the speed sensor (analogue wave form) to the electronics for the ECU/HICAS/Power Steering/Cruise Control and the odometer. Knowing either way will help to narrow down the fault.

Before you move on to trace the circuit back to the speedo. You might want to be aware of this intermitent fault condition with the sensor and the fix. The end cap on your sensor has moved out of its original position (arrowed). I've attached the document which gives more details: Speed Sensor - Visual Inspection.pdf

Dielectric silicone grease will help to prevent the ingress of moisture and oxidation/corrosion of the injector connectors.

Geat to see the workmanship in those repairs Alex.

Running extremely rich is also a symptom of failed damper (FD). It's worth replacing the FPR and FD as a matter of course as they can fail with age. Details in link. http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2610744/Here-is-how-it-works.html

Best wishes on your Birthday Lee!

I removed the UK specific oil cooler support brace to get the single and then dual HKS filters to fit. I fabricated a small bracket to support the oil cooler fixed to the auxilary fan plastic cage (arrowed below). Its been in place for years without problem.

You have the invertor for the EL panels? Black box below.
