Lock up your Z
Damn, will keep an eye out. Is there a spec list somewhere so we know what parts are invovled? Generaly though the Z is not a typical target. Too old, too rare and too cheap.

So ugly, its beautiful!
Always liked the Integrale, such a purposefull looking machine. Shame it had such an awful Interior, terrible build quality and its performance and handling weren't all that great in reality. - but then most of that can be said for the RS Cosworth and Classic Impreza's too.

thermostat
Save yourself some money and get from MJP instead. You can check the idler pulleys for noise, resitance, play. If they do anything other than spin smoothly and quitely then replace them.

Tyre prices
The Falken are a cheap brand. A V.good tyre, but at value prices. £120 for a 265/35/18 is good, you can pay twice the price for a comparable tyre from one of the big name brands ! But fitting cheap non performance tyres to a heavy, powerfull rwd sports car with low speed ratings then doing the sort of speeds you mention is just plain fail.

boost jets versus eletronic boost controller
A couple of other differences not mentioned : EBC builds boost quicker and harder = faster spool, more performance Plus an EBC maintains set boost with varying temps.....unlike boost jets which will overboost and underboost depending on outside temp, its never a set number.

99 spec owners!
If your after the dimensions from an actual genuine factory 99spec Z then your out of luck unfortunatly. The only 99spec Z on the site is owned by craig_david and is an NA that does not have the spoiler. Heard rumours of a couple more in the UK, but never seen them.

To TT or not TT????
My reccomendation, as somebody who has done a NA>TT Convertible conversion, dont bother. The idea may sound great on paper, but Nissan kept the Convertible as an NA for a reason. The vert chassis is all wrong for TT power its just not meant to go fast or be driven hard and it does'nt do either very well, keep it as a stylish cruiser or regret ruining it.

Question about changing my auto turbos to the larger manual ones.
On a standard car there is a 20hp difference between the Auto TT and Manual TT, however this is also partly due to Cam differences between the Auto and Manual engines. I've driven a lot of Auto TT's after converting them to Manual and I cant say I noticed specific differences between them and original manual TT's that I would put down to the Turbos/cams. At 15-20yrs old, condition and other factors make more of a noticeable difference.

Question about changing my auto turbos to the larger manual ones.
Everytime you accelerate hard. Top end power refers to high rpm / Peak power , not top speed. but as said the difference is small and not worth worrying about.

Tyre profiles
As said the profile is a percentage of the width, not a direct measurement. The Z tends to have wider rear tyres with a lower profile percentage to keep it matching the fronts. As for traction issues, tyres will be the biggest factor, but plenty of other reasons - such as Worn Hicas rack bushes (or any other suspension bushing), Worn Rear dampners, incorrect suspension geometry ...etc. Most Z's out there are running around on hidesouly worn suspension components.

Fog light options (uk car)
Wire them in to either one of the rear reversing lights, or two of the brake lights - This is what most Jap spec owners do, as they do not come with rear fogs.

propshaft from a 2+2 fit a 2+0/coupe?
You dont need anything else - You just need to use the rear half of your current prop, and the front half of the manual prop !

OK but is it worth 9K
yep, they are retrimmed seats, and not done very well. Would be nice if they did fetch that sort of money but sadly it is vastly overpriced.

US customs charges - how much?
Marking down the value leads to you losing out big time with insurance claims if the order goes missing or gets damaged (and they do) , and marking as Gift wont help you if the item is worth more than £36. 21% is a typical figure to go with for Import duty, Vat and Admin charges.
