Happy Birthday Ian ?.

These are heavily messed about with but £250 gets them back to the UK. There's a series 4 onwards boost gauge on this cluster but is there the factory black face under the aftermarket faces, no guarantee of course and even if it's not been ripped off or out, it could be damaged with the attachment of the white one. 90-96 Nissan 300zx Tt Z32 OEM Instrument Gauge Cluster Dq 24810 45p22 117-950 | eBay

Absolutely nothing, where are we supposed to find such an item though, there’s more chance finding a unicorn ?.

Finding clusters with a boost gauge is incredibly difficult, got mine many years ago from Japan and think it was about £70 all in !! I'm always on the look out for 'spares' to what I have, I did see one a while ago from Banzai, the price was £260, also one from America which was even more. As long as the pcb is like the one in this thread with one vertical and 2 horizontal plugs then I've found they all work with TT's, I have seen the blue pcb boarded clusters with 3 plugs all horizontal, these could be for 1992 verts, but this please note is a guess.

Very nice indeed, these are the ones to buy, good work and write up ?.

Bet your next post is that you're wanting to find a unicorn, eh why not, could've more chance ?. You'll be best with the steering wheel getting one re covered as you want.

I have not heard it or driven it, only can go off what Jim says and he likes, bit more refined than the old 2.5 inch Alunox system, and that was the remit. Jim is close to driving the car apparently, might get a video soon perhaps, especially if he reads this !!

Little engine bay glimpse and wheel alignment............. Front bumper needs spraying, that moustache debate again, I guess I'll go with whatever, I know the colour it needs to be btw, 95 cars didn't tend to have it though.

A few more Infinity Exhaust pics........

You can see here how much got shifted from the red test fitted CZP bracket to the Z1 one, quite considerable and made all the difference.

And where we are today, on its new wheels, still all a work in progress but we're getting there. Fronts are 8.5J, Rears are 9.5j. Tyres are 245/35/18 and 275/35/18.

The wheels are 18 inch Work Emotion CR2P's, Gunmetal centres with polished lip, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4's all round. Rears are bolt on +32, fronts are the same offset but with a 10mm spacer making them +22. This picture just shows the rear fitment, Jim's wheel is on the front when this was taken a week or so back.

The last post I dealt with the Akebono brakes, for these I needed 18 inch wheels so I got some. Concave 'A' fitment and the type of rim I got, all round caused an issue on the fronts with calliper clearance, basically the wheels would not go over or it was far too tight or close. Anyway, Jim solved this by fitting CZP brackets instead of what I had the Z1 ones which shifted the calliper further inside by about 5mm. So with 62mm long extended studs and a 10mm hubcentric spacer, 15mm was too much poke fyi, we finally have got there.

Must have missed that post ☺️.

Thank you, but I used to sell those handles to other members ?. Those you see are the original import's cards, I have some alcantara ones to be migrated in from my 94, of course the chrome handles as well, all with Jim.

In my new 95 fresh import I have these facelift window switches, looks like the owner in Japan has converted them ?.

There’s no way one of those plugs is falling out, they’re a struggle to remove at the best of times ?.

I think your hope of it being a plug and play for the digital pod is very optimistic ?. I’d check my car for you but it’s not here with me, sorry. I am swapping out the manual system for the S2 digital, one of many jobs for the Bristol one.

I did actually mean the instrument cluster but looking again I think it’s for the light pod, not ac.

Doesn’t that go into the cluster, one of the two plugs on the top ?

I have digital ac from a 95 car, it has been fully removed from this a donor vehicle. It is going in the same age car which had the manual system. Therefore, not just a case of a 5 minute job swapping pod switches over, ideally you need a donor or buy all the parts, our very own Jaikai did this and he has a thread about his troubles !

My 94 car and soon to be 95 car are a Version S fyi but I think you're being specific to the facelift. For desirability, you just need a clean example, manual is best and a turbo, some or no mods, a bit like Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino, no big gay spoilers ?.

Iirc there are some contacts in the pod switch, I'd look there for any out of place, dirty, etc.

Deleted post, my mistake. Glad you’ve got it sorted ?.
