What are you connecting (devices) to the bus?

66810-30P00 Grille-cowl top, right-hand http://nissan4u.com/parts/300zx/el_z32/1996_1/type_1/body_front_roof_and_floor/cowl_top_and_fitting/illustration_1/ - - - Updated - - - I bet the parts department people love you Andy!

Looks to be a complete toolkit and a pair of wheel chocks. http://nissan4u.com/parts/300zx/er_z32/1993_11/type_1/miscellaneous/tool_kit/

I would try your local Nissan dealer in France first. Otherwise this company will ship to France: https://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/nissan/nissan-6686001w01-clip/ *** I just did a quick check on eBay, much better price! https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/10-X-6mm-Cowl-Panel-Plate-Retainer-Clip-66860-01w01-66860-01w01-Trim-Q008/860324698?iid=331076539850&chn=ps See if they will ship to France.

Will be great to catch up with you Stephen.

Three years ago Simon Fox was the person I liaised with for the Z-Club/300ZX Club attendance at the Nissan experience event at Donnington in 2015. In those days he was part of the Nissan Parts Distribution operation.

Is it the 9th, as Japfest '19 is on the 5th?

Welcome to the Club Jerry and the start of your Z32 journey!

By way of comparison... This is a Z32 gearbox.

Well according to this post on TT.net the spring and ball components do vary: "There are different size ball bearings for different years of transmission." http://twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/technical/view/1109778/How-to-switch-bell-housing-on-transmissions-From-Na-to-TT.html

Still have them (DJ_Party_Favor) in my browser's cache.

Very nice effort - enjoy showing off your engine bay at the cruise!

Remember Tom...

Hope you got a big suitcase!

Nice looking wheels, what make are they?

I would say so, £40 each for genuine Nissan automobilia.

Something to bear in mind if you are just using a smart charger - if the battery is absolutely flat (check with a voltmeter) then you may need to jump a good battery to it for a couple of hours to get the voltage reading off zero. Smart chargers like the CTEK 5 Amp (the one I have) have a dead battery (as in kaput) check at startup which can mean they sometimes won't start the charging cycle on a completely discharged battery (as I found out myself).

Bit of Pulp Fiction there... Lance: Still got your Malibu? Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some f***er did the other day? Lance: What? Vincent: F***ing keyed it. Lance: Oh, man, that's f***ed up. Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of shit f***ed with it. Lance: They should be f***ing killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution. Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it. Lance: What a f***er! Vincent: What's more chickenshit than f***ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't f*** with another man's vehicle. Lance: You don't do it. Vincent: It's just against the rules.

That looks like storage or transport damage. Before you give up with it try removing the third brake light and apply upward pressure to the bend in the spoiler (see arrow below). The spoiler is formed of a thin steel frame covered in foam and then the plastic outer skin. You may be able to deflect the steel frame back at that point into shape. It's worth a try as the J6030-42P28 spoilers are by far the best fit and finish compared to fibreglass replicas that I have seen (and I have experience of both).

If you mean the banjo fitting then yes.

It's all about the details. Thanks for the writeup Andy.

It's more PM than aesthetics: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2610744/Here-is-how-it-works.html

These are baby's but still pretty cool. You can see the same size in this old photo of a Nissan dealership:
