Say hi to the new guy
So if, for the sake of argument, you were to have two 24 year old women, would that make you feel like an old man of 48, or perhaps like a 12 year old kid in a playground !?! :D (dream on!)

Original 300ZX rear Wheels (245's)
Yes, they fit perfectly, no spacers required - have had them on mine for a few years now.
-
Centre bearing
Too right - the bearing kit is approx £150 and the gearbox rear support bush , which can also contribute to the problem, is around £50. Both plus fitting of course.

Centre bearing
It's pretty straightforward if you can get the car far enough off the ground. Need to take at least one of the exhausts off to get to it though.

sounds silly
Most of the answers to your questions will be ljnked from this page :- http://www.300zx.org.uk/tech_17.htm

bough some black
I'm sure a creative person could make the seats work, the mirrors may be a little more tricky because of the positioning of the switch.

Sidelight Question
Mark, Have you always had this or has something changed recently ? This must be on an import, right ? Because I think the lights you're describing are the daytime running lights. In mine I think the bulbs had been removed or a wire cut.

Did a little tidying up this morning
Had a similar problem myself a while back, but discovered that there was just enough slot on the mounting holes to loosen the screws and more the flap back away from the catch. Works fine now.

Joe Strummer the clash sad news
She had a few hits, like the "Fairlytale of New York" (with the Pogues) but most of her stuff wasn't really big chart type crap. http://www.kirstymaccoll.com/realindex.htm

Changing locks?
Lock mechanisms are best lubricated with graphite powder, not anything that is wet/oily/sticky etc, otherwise they'll just fill up with dust/fluff/crap and then sieze when you most need them. You ought to be able to buy appropriate lubricants from any locksmith.

Joe Strummer the clash sad news
No disrespect to Joe Strummer but he never really lit my fire, perhaps it just wasn't my type of music. However, I was very saddened by the death of Kirsty Macoll - another creative life cut drastically short, and just for a change not by booze or drugs.

Irritating Squeak
There is a link on the Aus site (http://www.aus300zx.com) about the little fan, plus I can probably fix the clock for you.

oil pressure of z32 tt?
Does anyone have a duff oil pressure sensor they can send me ? I'll like to see if they are repairable or perhaps there is an alternative more reliable replacement, or maybe I can re-engineer something more accurate.

Recirculating Valves Question
By definition no BOV's will recirculate, it's just a question of whether you get the type that replace the OEM recircs or whether you get ones that are supplementary (ie install in the hardpipes) and you disable the recircs.
-
Air conditioning compressor.
Sometimes they seize and the groaning noise could be the drive belt slipping around the pulley. You could check with AndyZ to see whether he has a s/h one - I suspect a new one from Nissan would be unreasonably expensive ! ;)

OK you clever people, question for ya!
Well the bank must have been Bearings and so did he play Nick Leeson in Rogue Trader ?

Recirculating Valves Question
Hey, lets make a complicated set-up more complicated ! ;) Doesn't seem like a sound plan to me. Are the recircs really that unreliable ? Does the 'goose honk' indicate a performance affecting problem - I genuinely don't know the answers to those questions. If you really want to replace the recircs, then why not either go for new ones, or use the type of BOV's that are a direct replacement - someone mentioned them in another thread in the past few days I think.

Another insurance Q - sorry!!
http://www.lifesure.co.uk do classic on imports, at least that's what the AON policy I received from them says ! So maybe AON Direct may also be a possibility.

What are u buying the other half for xmas?
Been there, done that - fantastic fun. For the ultimate experience try to get in the group that starts with the smallest car end and up with a Lambo, and of course for max fun do it on a wet day !!!!

conzult
Make sure we're talking about the same gizmo here :- ConZult - ace toy made by the clever chaps in the Netherlands, works on ALL Z32's Consult - Official Nissan multi function tool which has plug in modules for each modle of car. Don't know for certain whether a module for a UK spec Z32 would be absolutely 100% compatible with a Jap spec car. There are some subtle differences. That said, many Nissan dealers will take every opportunity to BS you when you present them with an import car.
