Intermittent problem, now permanent problem.
Ignore the "post '93" though as no JDM or UKDM cars were supplied with the new PTU from the factory (regardless of the MY, possibly with the exception of MY99?), they were all fitted with the pre '93. Only USDM cars (and probably other hot climate markets) were sold with the newer model. I believe there was also a recall in the US for older models to have theirs replaced. The post '93 part was originally for a Skyline.

EU: Leave or Remain
I consider myself an intelligent person and I have a reasonable understanding of our political systems and politics in general, but for me (and probably 95% of voters, knowingly or not) I feel that this decision has far too much going on, too many variables and too many unknown factors for me to comprehend the consequences and educate a vote. Shot in the dark!

high idle
The IACV (Idle Air Control Valve). I think the connector is common to other plugs in the bay so should be easy to source and replace.

Insurance
The higher the value you ask for, the higher the policy premium. It also depends what FJ+ options you chose. No doubt you could get it cheaper, but you have a decent, hassle free, agreed value classic policy and in the unfortunate event of a claim being made, hopefully that pattern will follow [emoji106]

Can't edit my posts?
I can't seem to edit my posts anymore, any idea what's happened? I hate leaving spelling mistakes unaltered after not spending enough time proof reading! Joel.

Insurance
If you want a hassle free agreed valuation, Footman James is your best bet. They with give you an agreed valuation over the phone most of the time and they have some great policy benefits such a zero deduction salvage. You should look between 10-15k imo. Definitely worth a call.

OEM or not :-)
- Time to sell the Zed,thank you everyone.
Just had a look through the ad/spec, that's a pretty serious machine you have there dude [emoji106]- Time to sell the Zed,thank you everyone.
Here's the link if it helps. As a perspective buyer, your eBay username would instantly put me off [emoji1] https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/131769852556- Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
I do like the GT-C, this set has been on eBay for a while now (I get notifications for any 114.3 Volk or Rays wheel listed, it's just a shame they're so blooming wide with a hugely aggressive, negative offset!... https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/322032203474- OEM or not :-)
Haha, I'll be sending you my 99specs to tango!- Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
The offset is a bit... off! [emoji1]- my build thread
Those plastics [emoji15] attention to detail [emoji108]- Z spec throttle cover group buy
Probably why they have an option with and without the Z logo [emoji6]- Z spec throttle cover group buy
Also keen to see some pics fitted [emoji106]- Happy Birthday craig
Happy Birthday El Presidente [emoji512][emoji482][emoji322]- Z spec throttle cover group buy
I'd be interested in gloss black with no logo [emoji41]- Rare parts thread
If the promo pics for the series 6 are anything to go by, I'd say they were a genuine option. Whether they're genuine series 6 wheels or just polished wheels is another question, I'd say you'd be better off getting yours polished or chromed if you want that look. [emoji106]- Z32 TwinTurbo front mount relocation
I just think it would've been wise to be armed with these finer details before advertising the item for sale. I'm still none the wiser as to what would be required to finish this installation; what, where to and how do I relocate components, do I need to replace my SMIC and buy a front mount, if so what front mount would be compatible, what else is needed. That way a perspective buyer can gain a better estimate of the total costs involved. As the company have quoted you £700 to custom manufacture this kit, does that mean that subsequent kits will also cost £700 even though they will probably save 80% of the manhours on the 2nd set onwards? Considering they will just be a copy of the kit you've had made. If they're not a copy of your kit, then you need to amend the advert to state that the buyer would need to send his car to the manufacturer for the duration of the build. I'm not saying that as you're "pioneering" this development that you should soak up all the costs of development and then all the buyers thereafter should get the kit for pence, I understand that maybe you want to make a profit on the first few kits to claw back some of the development costs, I get that. However I do think you should be more transparent if you're claiming to be offering an item essentially for free (no profit) from your side. I'm sure you can understand why the alarm bells are ringing for us paranoid linch mobs! - Time to sell the Zed,thank you everyone.
