Dashboard lights
Yes I know that ?. I've never encountered this 'request' before, never known anyone wanting this 'modification', you need to sort this yourself, it might be something you need to snip at the back of the instrument cluster or a wire in the pod, or you could put up with what Nissan did from the factory or get some sunglasses that are not too dark ?.

Door trim screw - where to find?

Tyre size
The 10 inch you need 265mm or 275mm. The 9.5 inch front I'd go with 255mm.

If you snip one of the wires for the clock, it never goes dim.

Are you sending the right end down ?.

I'm not sure if the two pod ones are the same, why don't you check.

Aircon Condenser
I do have one yes, I found that there was no other choice new and bought one about 3 months ago. Jim was not disappointed with the quality and I know he has now fit it, untested but we don't envisage an issue, he told me he had to heat some pipes up to fit but he was fitting it to a 1995 n/a cars aircon and that the angles were different but nothing he couldn't sort. I am guessing therefore, seeing it is advertised for TT's, then it'll bolt straight in Turbo cars without issue, buy with confidence would be my advice. I paid £212 btw plus shipping, I cannot remember whether I had any import charges.

300ZX TT - A18GCK
Yes I know that, I was trying to get across that it was quite a large weighty item, which you wouldn’t think would slip the net.

300ZX TT - A18GCK
I've not heard anything as yet on the import duties, looks like I've got away with it, strange as it weighed 17kgs !!

99 rear light spec parts?
Crazed tail lights are only fit for spares. Many years ago a amber 89 tail light in very good condition would sell for £25 or £30, it is a far different story these days, one, they're hard to find and two, way more than double that price. In your position with no tails to even convert yourself, I'd be looking at buying some 99 ones and bite the bullet.

300ZX TT - A18GCK
Mine said Fedex on the 27th, got it two days ago, so doubt you'll have to wait that long, as soon as it hits Stansted you'll have it next day. No idea on duty, import VAT as yet, not heard anything, didn't come to me, it went straight to where the car is.

JaiKai - MK2 - Ziggy Build
I was thinking complete engine for some reason, personally I don't know of any differences, the decision is yours Lee.

JaiKai - MK2 - Ziggy Build
He's to find a later block and clean, good luck with that one. Needs to get his own to a shop and move up a size imo.

JaiKai - MK2 - Ziggy Build
You are going to be advised then to go to 87.5mm, not cheap this Z ownership is it.

Washer Reservoirs
Yes much better on the 95, simpler than the earlier.

Headlight Removal
It is how Andrew said, you get a small handed person to offer the bolt in the loaded with grease hole from underneath (not easy), with you poised with your screwdriver, as soon as you see it you'll need to wind the 'wrong way' and up it should come. Also, put the bolt in from above with no headlight, or tap to clean out the thread, to just make sure the bolt moves in the hole real nice. You could I suppose loosen in the future but after years in situ they may not move with this screwdriver method, iirc I nipped them just a touch further with a 1/4 ratchet.

Washer Reservoirs
In my late 94, series 4 slicktop, I do not have the reservoir in the l/h rear, just the one r/h front with sure it's two pumps, wonder if my 95 is the same, I expect so. I remember seeing earlier SWB's and spotting the rear filler cap and pointed out that I don't have on mine to the unaware owners.

Front indicators not working no power
This is a long running saga ?.

Front indicators not working no power
I'm not sure whether the rear light control box has any bearing on the front indicators, might be worth a perusal.

Front indicators not working no power
When I got a fast flash relay it went straight in, you can then use as many led bulbs as you like without fast flashing as you may well know, of course you won't know if you've a bulb out, so a walk around occasionally is on the cards. I also wonder if your 'old' relay is faulty, does sound like a switching issue because at some point ie when your hazards are on, you do get power to the front indicators.
-
Front indicators not working no power
The reason I ask is that there is a single wire at each front corner, think it's black and green, you may or may not have it though on yours, it becomes 12v when you're signalling that side but the low beam/headlights need to be on and it's for a kerb light. We'll keep throwing things at you !!
