Before the Diablo, 300ZX Headlights were used in a Ferrari... of sorts!
Was watching the budget cheesefest movie Joshua Tree from 1993, starring Dolph Lundgren and during the movie they are using a couple of unconvincing replica cars. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106309/ Closer look at the F40 replica and it seems to have 300ZX headlights on it 😄

Project UK rewind
I'm not sure on UK supply for OEM/Nismo stuff apart from Nissan, but they would still need to import most of them. I ordered mine earlier in the year from Greenline Japan and they weren't too bad on delivery time. Arrived in just over a week from being dispatched, but they can take a bit of time to respond to emails.

Headlights
So generally, the tester will pass it as long as you've HID the ballasts well! ...I'll get my coat...

Thoughts On Paint Colour
I do like a pearl white but as mentioned it can be hard to match if need be in future. I would say go solid or metallic white. Personally I don't like spoilerless although the 2 seater does look a lot better than the 2+2 without one. I much prefer the 89 spoiler over any other, although the Twinz ones are nice. Would definitely avoid the fibreglass 89 replica though. They have to be bonded on to fit properly, which eventually breaks down like my current one and the spoiler edge starts to come away from the body allowing water to get in. I managed to get hold of a 89 spoiler from Nissan last year, not cheap but I was happy paying the extra for a better fitment. As for side skirts the Twinz ones look great. Mine has some old ones by Car Mad fitted, which I think are replicas of another brand, along with door fillers on the bottom edge. When I have the car resprayed I'll be removing these and going back to OEM with no sideskirts.

Spare Wheel Well
Cheers Joel! Will take a look and get some measurements. I think that's a great way to use the wheel well space though, may look into doing something similar with mine I bought one of those underseat active subs and stupidly didn't measure up first, forgetting you can barely get your hand under the seat!

Spare Wheel Well
Sorry to hijack! Joel, just wondering what trim you used around the edge where you cut the hole for the strut bar?

Power Steering Hoses
Many thanks Andrew! I managed to find a similar query here, with someone finding the crimped hose on his car and the separate rubber hose on his friends NA Zed: http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/tmp/Courtesy/ There's a couple of parts listed on Z1, the OEM pipe 49725-30P03 on there does show up on JP-Carparts, Amayama etc under an NA engine, but I imagine it could actually be the same part as the one listed under the TT? There's also a silicon replacement but it's not fluoro lined. Z1 advise either can be used on a TT by cutting the hard line like you mentioned. Z1 OEM Pipe Z1 Silicon Pipe Your recommendation of getting a length of generic hose is probably the best option, in case I bugger up cutting the metal pipe and it ending up too short for those pre made hoses!
