To shave or not to shave...?
Leave it as it is IMO. I think it looks good.

The best stuff you can possibly get is Ceriglass. It's what the pros use. I've used it and it's amazing. Invest in some. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/glass-cleaners-sealants/carpro-ceri-glass-kit/prod_988.html

Help and guidance on whether to sell my LWB TT JDM as a breaker or for repair.
You keep it and you do things bit-by-bit. Don't try and get everything done all at once. What's happened anyway dude?

Haha! He's so jealous!

Blue-tint glass is one of the best overall visual mods you can do to your car (unless it already came with it). Makes the car look so much more clean and crisp.

First 300 😀
You were just lucky! I think they were a delete-option, but as standard, all JDM Z32s (except the late model NAs and convertibles) came with a spoiler.

New from the USA
Thanks dude! I live in south west....England! I just spend a LOT of time stateside (I'm actually looking at buying a car over there, possible a Z). I know the President of ZCCA personally as well as the club secretary ('Mad' Mike Taylor) whom I'm having lunch with in Dallas on Thursday and all the guys at Z1 who've been awesome to me over the years. Yeah, they weren't cheap. I think by the time they were landed and duty/tax/freight all paid for, they were approaching the cost of a new set! But I can't buy that spec anymore, so I was happy with how I went about it!

Incorrect. ALL NAs had spoilers bar the 98+ base models and US versions.

New from the USA
Haha!I was in Shreveport on the 26th of December watching football. Hokies were playing Hurricanes....the game lasted 4 and a half hours. It started to become tortuous! Have you been to Branson Z Fest? I usually go every year, I went to a few Midwest Z Fests, but they're now no longer on. I'm going to ZNationals later in the year. No, don't have the reps anymore, I've always wanted genuine ones and that's always been the aim, so managed to import a set of 19" BBS LM from Japan the middle of last year. I wanted to buy new, but BBS don't manufacture 5x114.3 in 9" and 10" anymore, so spent the last 2 years waiting for the right set to turn up. It was quite a mission getting them bought and imported.

Very nice. I used to have those exact same LM replicas. They suit the car really well. I'm often in the US at the shows there and visiting, I was in Louisiana actually in December and back in TX on Wednesday. Are you going to ZdayZ this year in NC? I'm driving up with some of the guys from Z1.

How much did your new recircs cost you Howard?

Series 4 (96+) plenum and throttle bodies
I have a spare 96+ TT plenum for sale with throttle bodies still attached. These are a nice upgrade for those wanting to fit the J30 throttle covers and also have some additional blanking in place of earlier EGR gubbins. Would prefer collection, but can deliver depending on location.

wheel spacers
The ones on the ebay link I posted are H&R.

wheel spacers
You really need to measure your centre bore on the wheel and the one on the hub to confirm that this is true, it's almost unheard of for an aftermarket wheel not to require some sort of spigot ring so that the wheels' centre bore is reduced down to 66.1mm. Even a small gap can cause wheel vibrations etc. I'd look at getting these then in that case: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H-R-wheel-spacer-Nissan-350-Z-Z33-30mm-silver-3065666-/351500378687?hash=item51d70e223f:g:HhMAAOSwrklVfTW8 Eibach and H&R are proven quality components. I'd strongly advise to use their spacers.

wheel spacers
Need a bit more information than that. What offset are you wanting? Small 5mm spacers don't really require anything as the hub will protrude enough into the wheel to locate it correctly and you won't need longer studs. 10mm, you'll need hubcentric spacers and longer wheel studs. 15mm+ you'll need bolt-on hubcentric. Do your non-standard wheels have the correct spigot rings? More info needed!

Haha! That's my friend Chris's car (Greavous from 3ZC). He runs leatherwheels.com . That photo was taken at Branson Z Fest in Missouri back in 09!

my build thread
Satin black is awful! The windows have shine to them. The dark metallic grey I chose is really dark and I had it matched to the original base as a shade, but had this as metallic gloss. It matches the moustache and also the scuttle panel.

I'd do them a dark metallic grey personally.

Much better Terry!

Don't do your backings bodycolour. You've got a natural window-line that finishes in the corners of the door - having a bodycolour backing looks odd and doesn't tie in at all.

"You picked a fine time to leave me, Loose Wheel!" - Mondo's new Zed.
I am SOOOOO glad those old Diablos are now gone, these look so much better!!

It WAS swapped, that is all you need to know! :lol:

Incorrect...again! Velour was fitted from 92 onwards. Tweed was on earlier models.
