Facebook European 300ZX Groups...
I don't believe there's a Z32 specific one for France. Most sites in Europe are based around the Z Club as the Z cars are so few and far between anyway. https://www.facebook.com/datsun.france?ref=hl https://www.facebook.com/groups/738285576240882/ https://www.facebook.com/Fairlady-Z-Club-France-466856190046830/timeline/ Germany - 350z club only https://www.facebook.com/groups/101785596660940/?fref=ts Most Europeans use one of the many English speaking Z32 pages.

I'm fortunate to have a Z with absolutely no rust at all (and zero welding), so I have not experienced the underbelly of too many other than my own. I have seen some really rough examples though up on the ramps.

Photos clearly don't do the car injustice! haha. I've seen it before where Z32s look pretty straight on top, you look under them and the floor pan has holes in in and all the suspension looks scabby.

Shocking! Rear wheels don't even look chocked!

It's on ebay - 'orrible looking thing, although seems to have been done to a good standard. I kinda like the colour, but the bodykit is atrocious. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-Manual-NA-Targa-Convertible-20k-Spent-All-reciepts-Orange-Show-PX-/321866376093?hash=item4af0bb239d

Guess where I've been this evening....
Football excites me about as much as herpes and diarrhea. I am sure a live match is entertaining though. I have been to a live football match (when I was about 10) and the best part was being able to throw obscenity at the referee in front of my father and almost be able to get away with it! Have fun dude, been to Barcelona many many times - awesome city!

Look Whats Back!!
Dude, it's past it, forget it. Imagine (if you can) that it doesn't exist....although what's been seen cannot be unseen. That car's engine and wheels need removing and what's left needs to be encased in concrete and then dropped into the Mariana Trench.

Look Whats Back!!
I'd rather inhale wasps nests and dog tuds. I LOL'd at this. Interesting use for the dash vents - as if being inside didn't make the brittle enough....and LOL at that paint job and the hack/sawed body vent.

Look Whats Back!!
That entire car wants throwing into the steel works at Port Talbot and melting down to the sum of its parts. Does anyone have photos from the previous sale....the roll cage alone draws a million points for piss-take value.

That's the trade-off you get with softer compounds. Mine should last me a good few years. It'll take me 4 years to do 10,000 miles! lol

Alloy Selection Question - 19" or 18" whats ideal?
.....for those who are interested, I also highly recommend Pirelli P-Zero. The level of grip is fantastic and out of all the tyres I've run on my car (Bridgestone/Toyo/Falken), the P-Zero are the best yet, chasing JoelyP through the Gorge de l'ardeche in southern France last month, I was surprised at just how far I could push my Z. It didn't want to break out at all.

the zed in bits unfinshed project or broken off the road any colour thread
Kev, put that the original bumper back on. What is it with you and these fibreglass things!?!?! :lol:

You'll need some arch work to fit 9.5s @ ET 20 up front. It really does depend on what style you go for. Some styles do look too big, but something with a nice dish usually doesn't, so it hides the fact a little. I run 19 x 9 ET 35 fronts and 19 x 10 ET 40 rear BBS LM My arch lips are rolled at the back, but just the lips. Pretty flush

I think the next things that will get the cull will be things like roof trims and scuttle panels.

I'm not doubting that numbers of parts are going NLA and it's increasing at an alarming rate, but certain highly popular items are likely to remain for a while yet.

Plenty still left in North America. There's a demand for them there, so there will be some stock piled, even though it was never fitted to any USDM vehicle. There is still a global demand for them, so we are unlikely to see an end to them for a while, similar goes for the 99-spec rear lights.

Car damaged at main dealer
Persist and persist. When I took my old Leon FR to Seat Main dealer it came back with a dent on the door. Now I actually didn't even notice this as it was wet an dark when I picked the car up. I called them the next day and they suggested it could not have been them due to the process the car would have gone through which was complete tosh. I kept at the for a few weeks and eventually they agreed the part-pay for the repairs. Now, as I couldn't prove it was them, I thought it fairly reasonable of them. Just keep calling - go in and see them and eventually they'll do something about it if they're to retain your business. Agreed! Violence is NOT the way.

HICAS Deletion Question
Never had an issue with fitment, my Z has had 4 sets of wheels on it, current ones are 19x10. I think you'll have issues with smaller wheels with increased widths. 17 X 10 would likely cause issue at fitment offset, but 18s, unless they're chunky heavy poorly designed mono-blocks will fit.
