Nissan call that part (5) a "Tube differential oil cooler" and it is connected in series with the main cooler (24) and hot oil flows through it and the main cooler. The system is included in Euro/UK spec cars as Nissan considered the potential for high speed driving in Europe required additional cooling. Jspecs don't have the system and for the most part it is redundant unless you drive at very high speeds (on track days for example). For completeness, these are the FSM pages on the operation and electronics:

Very neat solution Joel. I also have a base level controller for my JL HD900/5 amp. I fitted mine on the steering column shroud next to the Sony remote commander for the EMPEG MP3 player. It's suprising how often I adjust the bass levels since I installed it - a very useful control for quick track to track adjustment.

Welcome back James, as the Eagles sang "You can check out any time but you can never leave". It's suprising the number of people who sell their Z32s only to regret doing so and then go on to buy another! Great colour BTW.

This is a nexus 7 tablet install. Of the type that Vig (sumshiftyguy) started but didn't complete before he sold the car. I watched him hack up the inside of the dash mounting area for the modified radio surround to make things fit which wasn't very pretty. The other thing I noticed was the terrible reflections off the screen from ambient light.

It helps to stop being an accountant on that score!

The best fix is to replace with new OEM parts for a 2+2: Windshield Molding - 72760-30P00, 72761-30P00 T-top Molding - 91784-32P20, 91785-32P20 T-top/Hatch Rear Molding - 73852-32P00, 73853-32P00

Either dates are good for me Howard. Thanks for organising the BtoB.

Well it didn't come up in January either, so you haven't missed out!

Best wishes on your Birthday Howard!

FSM '96 Steering System (section ST) pages: st.pdf Note: These pages are from the US FSM (LHD), but should be good for RHD models.

Do you have the FSM pages (which includes diagnostics) for Electronic HICAS?

Flasher unit location: Looks like:

Go ahead, if it works for you I can always get another pair. I will send you the links I have which discuss the experiences people have had with different makes of drivers and sizes used in the enclosures.

Oh and you will be missing the closed cell foam gasket which goes around the third brake light area which you will need to seal the area. You can buy the stuff in self adheasive 6mm sheets and cut to shape.

There isn't a relay in the indicator circuit. Do you mean the flasher unit?

So you are keeping them after all?

It is very important to prevent water ingress between the spoiler and the tailgate. Nissan used adhesive strips to provide seals which over time fail to remain watertight and allow water ingress which damages the spoiler with corrosion to the metal parts and subsequent rot to the foam. To provide a permanent water tight seal, at a minimum bond the spoiler (Sikaflex or similar) to the tailgate along the inside of the leading edge (where the adhesive strips would have gone) and along the bottom edge of the "wings" as in the red line below.

Do you know how to fit it to ensure longevity?

One of these!

Does this help?

If you mean this one then yes Blue.

For the painted parts of the bay I've used a general purpose degreaser such as AG's Engine & Machine Cleaner worked in with various brushes and cleaned off with microfibre cloths (sometimes wrapped around a stick to get to the awkward places). For the electrical connectors I've disconnected each one and used Pagid brake cleaner aerosol blasted on and worked around with a stiff small bristle brush. Whilst doing this I've placed rags underneath to catch the gunk coming off. I also use the same approach for the numerous small components in the engine bay. For the plenum I've used Frost's Ali Clean - Aluminium Castings Cleaner which is specifically designed for castings that can't be polished as the blackening which results discolours the semi porous surface. Worked on with a brush and then carefully washed off with water. The plenum will come up bright and clean. To keep dust to a minimum on surfaces that are difficult to reach after cleaning I use an air compressor and airline.

Collected a large and surprisingly heavy box from Parcelforce today together with a rather substantial payment to HMRC. Contents include AshSpec Massive SMICs which as their name suggests are indeed MASSIVE! together with AshSpec 2.5" IC and planar kits together with associated bits and pieces. I'll post up pics when I've worked out which pipe goes with which but in the meantime there are a lot of them as you can see! Compared to the stock pipework this stuff looks MUCH larger. I've pretty much got everthing now for the "bolt on" engine upgrade for Jimmer to put together before the full bodywork respray later in the year.
