Can’t remember tbh. I’ve got under drive pulleys and stock belts no longer fit my car. If I remember correctly though the NA belt is different.

In that case your TT is relying on the hydraulics to keep the rear wheels aligned. To switch isn’t a big job, as a quick guide; You will need the bracket from NA pump as well as it’s different, the pump is shorter. You could use the TT reservoir but it will have a could of unused/open legs, so you would have to decide on plugging them or the switch. A switch would be tidier and more professional looking. You will then need to remove the hydraulic bar in the rear and fit a lock out bar of your choice. Some will require modification of the hubs and others will utilise the Hicas ball joints.

There’s always been an element of that, the cars share so much that it’s always reflected on the cost of parts. The cost of parts for Z32s have always been excessive for what is a non premium brand, compare what parts cost for say fords of a similar vintage or American cars. You could rebuild a whole Golf for the cost of a set of Z32 exterior trims and the Golf would be worth more. As an example Temp sensor for a z32 £28 for a mk2 golf £6. Admittedly It could be worse, Porsche parts are quite expensive but then it’s a bloody Porsche not the same company that brought you the Micra and the Bluebird. I think the rise in price to a certain point is good because it makes it more justifiable to actually spend money on them. There was a time not that long ago that a 60k service, especially if you had to pay for labour, would make a Z32 an uneconomical repair. It’s now actually worthwhile to look after the damn things.

I dunno if you’ve looked recently or wether it’s a bit cheaper your side of the South but you would need to add £150k onto that for a house, let alone one with a garage.

For reference it’s 630mm from the floor to the arch centre (highest point) on all four corners of mine. As a side note, be aware that the bodies on z32s are not quite as straight as you might expect, most of my fitment issue surrounded one rear arch being tighter than the other by a few mm. This is a common issue with many 90s Nissans it would appear.

For reference my cars about the same ride height as yours, touch lower at the back I recon. My Set up is; Front 18x8j et 20 with 225/40r18 Rear 18x9j et 20 with 265/35r18 The front is fine, it will occasionally scrub the liner, especially if there’s more than me in the car. The rear I’ve had nightmares with and I’ve had to roll the arches and tuck the tabs to get them to fit. If they were 10mm less aggressive I wouldn’t of had half the problem.

Pretty sure all of that S14 200sx stuff fits, available from Euro Car Parts etc. You’ll have to check.

It sold out pretty fast I believe. All the Simply events are selling out unfortunately.

Do check but I believe numbers are limited due to COVID and it’s sold out.

That’s got a real nasty sound about it, a mean animal even at idle.

Had mine out last weekend, targas off and enjoying the sun.

I think I need to discuss these with you. Been after a set for a while.

Cheers we’ve been chatting about the logistics of the 266 mile gap between us .?

I had the exact same issue at about the same age, year before last I think. I purchased a generic one from eBay as I wasn’t flush after the new house purchase abs it turned up in a Japspeed box and logos. ?

After a bit of faff about with the battery which was a Covid victim we got to the MOT station. Happy to report a pass. The guy was pretty intense on it and I picked up some minors. He was fair though and I will get those little bits ticked off. Having not driven it for over a year, not hitting full boost as it is wasn’t warmed up it felt rocketship fast.

That’s not a Z32 300zx engine then.

To expand Richards example, let’s say he took the scenic route along the coast. You’d be out of electric by the time you got to my place, good luck finding a charge point, there are some but not many... and the further west you go the greater that issue becomes. I have a rule, I don’t go to Cornwall without enough fuel to get back the idea of doing that as a day trip with an EV is laughable.

So after a very long, dry, safe and cosy sleep since the beginning of this global pandemic she’s waiting for an MOT.

You maybe be able to find some later style ones, as fitted to Skylines. They require an adapter kit but then you’ll need that for your 740s. Ive a set in my garage that I meant to fit but in honesty probably won’t get round to.

Very, very few manual turbo cars seem to be coming about. In road worthy condition you’ve gotta be talking £7k now. In presentable condition/clean 15k. Then a good quality/show car upto 30k. Im carefully watching the market and getting a little uncomfortable...

Dual 3” exhaust system, concerned about road noise from tyres... :lol:

There’s no easy way to do it. You may find access easier by removing the coolant lines but whatever you do it’s a knuckle splitting bad day out.

Didn’t UKs come with 28s, someone may have done an “upgrade”.

Take your word for it Nick, mine had the early (being an 89) hydraulic system.

Personally I felt it felt like an old leaf sprung car, how the body weight shifts over the spring on the horizontal before the back goes out. Very disconcerting.
