What are you asking Art - replace the light strip with another or ditch it altogether?

Headlight issue like never before
The viscous coupling which drives the fan is mounted on the front of the water pump (arrowed). You can keep the Unorthodox pulleys.

Occasional Starting Issues
If you decide to also replace the rubber fuel lines, then the most cost effective way is with a single length (2.20m) of Nissan hose suitable for Z32 fuel injection and resistanct to damage from ethanol in petrol cut to the required lengths. https://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/nissan/nissan-a6440n7686-hose-fuel/ This shows the hoses and clips (green dots):

washer pump
These are the part#'s for the LWB TT for front and rear washers. They are NLA in the states and may be in Japan. 28920-30P10 is the front windscreen washer pump, 28920-30P15 is the rear tailgate washer pump. I've used this retailer in Japan to order hard to find parts: http://jp-carparts.com/nissan/partlist.php?maker=nissan&type=132&fig=289*&part=2892030P10&page=2 http://jp-carparts.com/nissan/partlist.php?maker=nissan&type=132&fig=289*&part=2892030P15&page=2

Spoiler
If your replacement '89 spoiler is made from fibreglass then it will need to be fixed to the tailgate using Sikaflex or equivalent. The black strip, "Nissan" and "Twinturbo" decals are applied after the spoiler has been painted (as was originally done by the factory). For part#'s and pics from a (US retailer): https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-black-strip-under-rear-wing-spoiler-decal-nissan-300zx-90-93-twin-turbo-tt-z32-93094-42p10_p_780.php https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-rear-spoiler-nissan-decal-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-tt-90-93-z32-93094-40p00_p_2569.php https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-rear-spoiler-twin-turbo-decal-nissan-300zx-90-93-twin-turbo-tt-z32-93094-40p02_p_616.php You can also try Mike@MJP (Club trader) or http://allcarpartsfast.co.uk/

Headlight issue like never before
Whatever else you do, my advice would be to return the car's engine cooling to the original factory viscous fan setup. Z32 engines run hot and electric fans don't provide the air flow needed to do the job reliably. It's not worth the risk.

Spoiler
Welcome to the Club Andy. Yes it may be still possible to buy an original '89 spec spoiler - part# J6030-42P28. A number of us have recently done so. You won't know until you place the order (Nissan's stock control system). https://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/nissan/nissan-j603042p28-spoiler-kit-rr/

Headlight issue like never before
Quite possibly. Out of curiosity, is the car's original mechanical fan still in place?
