He wants the actual brand/product that was fitted to the car when it left Nissan factory.

You could trawl the earliest posts of the club for posts relating to 99 spec - particularly for those who imported one in the early days. You might find an image or be able to PM them. My 99 spec was imported in 2002 so there's a high chance it was on its original tyres (I don't have any images from then). So it could be possible to find the info that way.

Bird has a Zspec one fitted. I believe he was part of the first batch of RHD ones delivered to the UK. Vague recollection of him saying that fit and quality were both good.

Drivers side is worse, but not significantly so. Caught it in time before it got really bad.

Progress...

The Torqen kit is the CZP kit. Adrian who runs Torqen is related to the CZP owner and sources most of the Z32 bits he sells from him. It's only on the website because I asked Adrian for a price on a 120k kit last year.

Welcome. You'll be better asking on 300zxclub.com as that's the US club. Or TT.net. This site is UK based, and whilst folk will be able to offer you some of the advice you need, the US forums will be better for putting a JDM engine into a USDM car.

Little jaunt out this morning. When I see her next she'll have a clean MOT! Hopefully.

My opinion is that it'll be a long while before price differences in Version S and R become big enough that it influences what you buy now. Recaro seats can still be found in Japan (like rocking horse crap, but they're there) and can be fitted to a Version S. It'd be a damn sight easier than fitting digital climate to a manual climate car I would think.

I had a set of Rota GTRs in bronze sat in the garage for years (previously fitted briefly to my 350z). Should never have sold them!

They're Ultralite UL37 - copies of the Volks TE37. I'm always torn by them as I prefer 5 spoke.

Well she's covered in dust and bird sh**, has 2 holes where rear sills should be, but she's back on 4 wheels and started no bother after 5 months without being run. Need to replace this JapSpeed heap of junk exhaust. Hateful PoS.

Gave up trying to drill out the studs whilst laid on my back. Removed the entire cat, and didn't snap any more studs!

Fully aware but thanks for pointing it out. The Whiteline bushes are compliant and have a significant lip to allow movement.

The split washer is about the size of the OEM flange. And whilst it won't distribute in the same way, 100s of people run this system so I'm not worried.

It's what comes with the Whiteline kit. There's a bolt either side into a threaded tube instead of a through bolt. The one on the other side is longer and has a locking nut to assist with camber adjustment. It's missing it's split washer in that image, but I've since found it and fitted it.

AMS do RHD ones. Though as with most AMS items I would guess that quality is hit and miss.

FUCAs are in!

Been busy today. I gave up with the exhaust bolts. I'll let the garage that's doing my new sills drill them out. Instead I made a start on the front end regarding the bits raised in the last MOT. Needed the angry spanner to get the knackered drop links off, but at least I managed not to damage my eye this time. Unknown brand crappy adjustable FUCAs removed. Finished painting up my spare set of OEM upper arms, and will install the Whiteline adjustable bushes in tomorrow and refit to the car. New Moog drop links in. And I've cleaned and painted the front ARB and have new bushes and brackets ready to go on with it. Weirdly this is a 28mm ARB so either a previous owner uprated it, or Nissan gave up on the crappy thin ones that usually came with NAs by time they got round to the 99 specs.

First album I ever bought was Bat out of Hell II. Sad to hear of Jim's passing.

To add injury to insult, doing that exhaust resulted in an impromptu visit to the Eye Casualty department of the local hospital and having a metal shard scraped out of my cornea with a needle. I think this car hates me.

Today was 50% good. 50% bad. Finished fitting rear Sway bar bushes and torqued everything up. Propshaft fitted and torqued. Wheels back on with new nuts. Cleaned up the discs and refitted. They're being replaced as soon as Mtec have stock. This is just to get her rolling so she can get onto the back of a flat bed. And then I decided to tackle the 2 sheared bolts in the cats. FML. 4 blunt cobalt drill bits later and I'm still not done. Argh! Had to order more drill bits, hopefully a pack of 10 will be enough!

Some new bits have arrived. Front adjustable bushes for the OEM fucas that I've overhauled to replace the cheap Midori style ones that came with the car. New wheel nuts to replace the fecked chrome plates ones that don't seat properly on the alloys. Got home from the boat today. Now got 2 weeks to get the front end sorted and a few other niggles done before she heads down for metal work and some paint.

IIRC you can get the correct windscreens from Pilkington. They might be special order though. I'm sure someone with more recent info will be along soon. Luck with the project mate.
