Ugh those pesky Veilside's just send them to me. It's okay I can take one for the team :innocent:

Rich, I see you have made quite a bit of progress since I last saw an update. Can't do much on this forum since the new rules for us non-paying members don't allow to see or even reply to threads we were previously subscribed to.:angry: Keep up the great work man :thumbup: can't wait to see the end result. Rob

Currently running SSR GT-3

Wow!!!...That is one heck of a find Rich. Not a fan of 19" on a Z32 but I think you may well pull it off with those. As far as offsets goes, I think you will need a spacer up front to clear the calipers and maybe the wheel well. I suspect you may have rubbing issues when turning the steering once the tire is mounted. Best you can do is a test fit and take some measurements and pics. Congrats on the find. P.S: I'll take those Veilsides off you :biggrin: Rob

As a non-subbed member I like this as well.

There you go!

Gold looks great in blue and white as well :cool3:

Tune...Tune....Tune I will not discard the Z just because it's got a single turbo setup. We have a few guys in our group running TT NA's without issue (stock internals). Granted they are running on E85 and two on them are running without intercoolers (they are test mules at this point). My point is, if you have a capable tuner in your area familiar with either nistune, haltech or any other aftermarket EMS and you don't mind putting time, sweat and blood on cars. I will say go for it. Inspect the car and asses all damages and make a decision.

It will look something like this Brushed means the centre is scuffed with an abrasive material, i.e: scotchbrite and then a clear coat is applied.

Brushed centre and chrome lip. Will sell quick too.

Looking good Rich. Need to get out the fancy camera and start shooting pics of her.

That's what the dimmer is for ;)

Gotta disagree with you there Si. I believe you had the wrong kind of the LED's installed in you dash. Dimmer should work as normal and there has to be no black spots when the correct bulbs are installed. In my opinion the LED's update the looks of the dash and interior quite significantly. Picture below.

Welcome aboard

This!....I wrote it as if I was a looking at the car from the front.:biggrin:

On the rear, the left hand side, where the left rear speaker is.

Looking good. Great pictures.

Does anyone know what the color code is for this silver/gray?

Welcome aboard. Congrats on the your first Z. Loads of information on this site, search will be you best friend when learning about the Z32. Rob

Glad to hear Dan's car will live on, at least a part of it. Definitely a good move on your part Rich, keep us posted.

Correct, the valves with the EG stamped are the ones you want to have in the DETT heads.

Wow!...glad to know you are ok Dan. Sorry for the loss, I can only imagine the feeling, especially after all the effort put into to make it look and perform great. Again glad you are ok and you will be back! They all do....let us know what you end up with.

Stephen, you are correct, up to an extent. As you correctly pointed out, the heads are still labeled 40P and later changed to 48P for TT models, it is the valves that need to be checked. Early models had an issue with the metal alloy nissan used to fabricate the valves. Nissan then figured out the issue and changed the alloy to make a stronger valve. Rich, check your valves while you have the heads out Here is what you are looking for If your valves look like the one on the right then your heads have what's called the "soft valves" and I would advise you to replace them with a new set of valves.

JWT Clutch and flywheel, have that one on mine and it is more than enough. Rob

Heavy duty clutch fork, pivot ball, throw out bearing are all jobs you must do while changing the clutch.
