Year of manufacture....
LOL... yeah, did all that.... tags had been cut off the seat belts and the interior had been re-done (in leather) can't exactly be sue what hasn't been changed other than the VIN plate... the rear plastic moulding said Nov 92.... not exactly true..lol.. (well maybe that's when they where manufactured) This would be a lot quicker that going to Nissan.... lol... (which I did as well, phoned them actually :))

Year of manufacture....
Tried for ages to find the year of manufacture of my Z (Jap import) finally got the info from AndyP (and confirmed by Nissan when I asked at the parts department) anyway just browsing the Oz site and came across this, checked it against Andy's info and it looks correct.... http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.79 can a mod check it and maybe add the link in the General FAQ's somewhere.. cheers.

reverse lights
they sell them on a US site if you want to wait for them..... I used ceiling light diffuser... 2 foot square, cost about a fiver from an electrical wholesaler.. be care full when cutting it as it will crack if you do it too fast and hard....lol... I used half a hacksaw blade taped up on one end as a handle but you can get the purpose handles for them. I also glued/siliconed the diffuser into place so that it sat nice against the lens and didn't rattle about. I also sprayed the insides silver and did both indicator and break ... not too sure about it yet, will decide when they're on the car. got led's and resistors to fit as well.

reverse lights
LOL... not too hard just takes patience and time..... there is a guide somewhere on here.... there is a little screw in the middle you have to remove. then heat them up in an oven at about 75 - 100 C for about 5 min (face up), take them out use flat head screwdrivers pry the clips a bit, then start at one end, try not to twist against the front lens too much (it will dent and remove paint), you may have to put them back in the oven a few times, eventually they will come apart...

reverse lights
ebay…. Did a search on “led white fog” they should be 1156’s when you say housing, I assume you’re talking about the housing for the centre section with the reverse lights in it… there are two pods (one either side) that hold the bulbs, these come off (one screw)..

reverse lights
I took my housings off and re-sprayed the inside silver (was looking a bit faded), with a nice new set of LED bulbs... very bright...lol....:)

99 spec or not
just finished my 99spec mod on the headlights... I had the inserts sprayed silver... now just need some good weather so I can put them on the car (i don't have a garage or carport :cry:). Thanks to car mad for the inserts and dan for the HIDs & other bulbs. Also did a mod on the tail lights... waiting for the red led bulbs and resistors...

Ebay HID Xenons 55w 6000K H3
if you earth pin 5 you get what phutumusch says..... when low beams (HIDs) are on you can flash the high beam and the low beam stays on. when no lights are on and you flash the high beam it also flashes the low beam. the only way I know to do the full fix is as in the link in one of my previous posts.

Removing headlamp glass how......
Are they still on the car? there are about 5 clips that you have to remove and the metal covers that also hold it on.... as far as I can see (had when I did nine) you have to get them off the car (and that takes about 2 hours, crap and awkward job). As above, paint stripper (head gun) or the oven are the best ways.

wish me luck
ditto....

headlight adjustment ?
Hi, There are four adjustment screws/nuts, two for each beam, one horizontal and one vertical…… sorry tying not to be patronising… You can see the first photo here shows the back of the unit clearly showing three of the grey adjustment units and the fourth near the top of the low beam is a shaft… http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.346 this shows the light unit in more details with pictures of different adjustment screws and their replacement / repair. http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.349 finally the parts list showing a diagram of the light unit, not clearly showing all adjusters. http://www.300zx.lv/catalog/?gr=E&sec=260 you might have the damaged cog issue as well…. You’ll soon know when turning the adjusters dose nothing…lol…
