I think it would be great fun to drive with a Z32 with a modern, fandangled autobox but I think the price makes it prohibitively expensive for most. You need to already have a compatible standalone engine management system before you even consider the £2800 for the kit. On top of this you’ll need a BMW 7 speed autobox(!) and a few other gubbins to make the conversion work. Once you have all that, if you’re not proficient with turning spanners and wiring, you’ll need Mr Whifbitz to give you an installation quote!

Garage Whifbitz will fit a BMW 7 speed auto for a hefty sum!

And the fastest!

Great thread. Following ?

As much as I’d love to make a similar post about driving mine, roads round here are as Andrew says, like the Bonneville salt flats!

After all these years we’ve had it wrong; yellow is the fasted colour! It’s a shame they didn’t hang on a bit longer before making this video as it would’ve been interesting how a MKIV Supra slots into the line up. Nevertheless, an epic performance from the RX7 there, now back home for an engine rebuild! ?

I wonder how many testers are aware of what year of Z32’s came out of the factory with an airbag equipped steering wheel?

Welcome, looks like a tidy example. How many times have you clicked refresh on the tracker so far?

My first Z was a UK TT auto. I used to use the car daily and I absolutely loved it! It was superb for the work commute or general bimbling around the country as traffic was a breeze! My situation changed where I was able to use the Z as a weekend fun toy, so my current one is a manual and I absolutely love it! Terrorising the local A roads makes the car a whole different animal.

Even with +27 up front you’d still need a 10mm spacer to be where you are now. Fitment looks great on that Andy. My fronts are 8.5 et22 and I’ve always thought they could do with a 5mm spacer; having seen the effective +17 on yours, I think I should slap some on! ?

Oops! Sorry for taking your credit Aff!

Brian, how the devil are ya fella?

Bugger, damn and blast!

I’m a Sonax Profiline kinda guy when it comes to leather! ?

Very nice buddy ?

Unfortunately, the RPS/SZ flywheel is no longer available.

The JDM mounting point for a full size UK number plate on the front bumper is too narrow. It would potentially flap around at the sides and chafe my paint. ? Besides, I just order a “pair” of number plates! But ultimately, yes, you’re correct.

Indeed, Jimmer is your man even if there’s a wait involved.

Welcome back Marco ?

Hi Lee, hope you’re well. The information you require is documented here, specifically regulation 14A for an import vehicle (I have this document printed off and in my glovebox just in case!). https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/2687/made The Z32 (import) falls into this category: “Size and spacing of characters: special cases 14A.—(1) This regulation applies in relation to any vehicle imported into the United Kingdom which— (a)does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval; and (b)is so constructed that the area available for the fixing of the registration plate precludes the display on the plate of a registration mark in conformity with the requirements of regulation 14. (2) In relation to a vehicle to which this regulation applies— (a)each character in the registration mark must be 64 millimetres high; (b)the width of each character of the mark, other than the letter “I” and the figure “1”, must be 44 millimetres; (c)the width of every part of the stroke forming a character in a mark must be 10 millimetres; (d)the spacing between any two characters within a group must be 10 millimetres; (e)the vertical spacing between groups of characters must be 5 millimetres; (f)the width of a margin between the mark and the top and lateral sides of the registration plate must be not less than 5 millimetres; (g)the space between the bottom of the mark and the bottom of the registration plate must be not less than 13 millimetres; but, within that space, the space between the bottom of the mark and the top of the name and postcode of the person by whom the plate was supplied must be not less than 5 millimetres.”
