Depending on when it was imported, maybe they wanted it to appear the full spec "UK version" there's a few extras arnt there.

How is the electric power steering coming along? Thinking of doing the same to mine, or similar anyways.

Certainly looks like a honest and well cared for example.

Re read what I posted; I bet it's a generic 90s Nissan switch, bit of research and I'm sure you will find one off an easier to source Nissan. Once you work that out is probably even available as a repro part from euro car parts etc, I got a pathfinder reverse switch for £12 new from them it's the same as the £70 z32 one. You could also source a functional one from a breaker.

Did you get my PM Lee?

Delete the useless cruise control? I bet the switch is generic, I doubt it's specific to the z32 or maybe even that pedal. I've used a fair few parts off other Nissans, pathfinder, 200sx etc. If your so inclined find another 90s Nissan that has cruise and find a junker, bet it's the same switch worth a go for a few quid.

Do either have a pressure gauge on the AFPR? I know it's a little different but my old car had a combined AFPR and fuel filter, you had to let the pump prime etc before you could crank it over or it wouldn't start, there were no non returns etc and it was a carb'd affair. It also had a pressure gauge so you could set it up, IF it's correct that the system should remain pressurised when off, which I believe it is then the gauge pressure shouldn't drop unless there is an issue, I do have a fuel pressure tester which didn't cost me very much I'd offer for you to borrow it if you needed it but I'm sure you will blag one from your work. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will be able to confirm what's normal.

I recognise that car swear he's a zclub member

I actually just re-read the link I pulled up from the FSM which does mention the removal of the lower timing belt cover and of corse the main ancillary or "crank" pulley but no mention if timing belt removal or disruption.

I don't see why you should have to touch the timing belt or crank pulley? Please correct me if I'm wrong. The ancillary pulley on the crank yes because as he said he couldn't access the bolts with the lower cover still on. I don't take it personally and maybe I explained myself poorly or maybe you misread what I said. The crank pulley and timing belt behind the cam covers are a separate entity and with the covers off should allow access the water pump should it not? - - - Updated - - - I don't see why you should have to touch the timing belt or crank pulley?

It was my second choice, I wanted black but at the time I brought mine they were virtually all red.
