Newbies - let yourselves be known

Hello everyone, I've recently acquired a swb 300zx but it's in need of some TLC, desperately. Me too, but that's another subject entirely..:D Anyway, previously I had an s14, with around 400hp which was interesting to drive but I've had nothing but bad luck with that car, so it's in 4 pieces now and all performance stuff has been sold except for a few bits and pieces. Which leaves me with an awful lot of money to spend, but I'm looking to spend it wisely, hence me signing up to the board for some decent information, good advice, occasional banter and whatnot. So, on to the 300, here are some pics. Please advice if the pics are too large. Mostly rusted …

Finally got another Zed, and I cant find a place to get a thread up on here for it now. Can someone point me in the right direction. Its a members Zed so I guess you guys should be able to help me out with knowledge of it. Mark

Well tomorrow is the day I've been waiting for..my Z32 na manual is arriving!!! :) Being a 80s/90s kid, I've misspent many an hour admiring the shape of the 300s, along with certain shapes on my baywatch posters no doubt! Ha. Anyway, she's in a bad state, and I'm under no illusion that it'll be easy project, but looking forward to working on her over the next few months! Wish me luck! ? ? Matt (West Yorks).

Hi folks, I'm Stewart from Ayrshire and I'm in the market for a ZX after selling my S4 recently. I joined to meet some other enthusiasts and hopefully gather some handy info like buyers guides etc. I've been keeping tabs on this one on eBay http://http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-NISSAN-300-ZX-TURBO-AUTO-RED-/331749304005?hash=item4d3dcca6c5:g:z4MAAOSwa-dWj2ae Its got the site stickers on it so I wondered if the owner is ever on here? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Stewart

Hi all, just picked up my first z this weekend and I love it already. It was from a guy who uses this forum, not sure on his user name! It's not a bad car at all, mechanically she's pretty sweet but the bodywork needs attention. Luckily I own a company that specialises in composite work and custom paint so I'm feeling something different for this one! It has a few niggles but it is a project, it squeaks occasionally from the front n/s suspension and the indicators stopped working today randomly. Hoping it's a loose connection, but it may be a stalk or sonething, who knows! Anyway, hoping to learn more about the 300, as I've always liked them and finally go…

Hi All, Just an introduction as new to the forums, spend a bit of time between the UK and here so always on the lookout for good ideas, parts etc in both countries :) Own a 1990 TT Slicktop, will add some pics below.

Already had a browse through the forum, a lot of knowledge base which i am picking up some good pointers for future things to improve my motor :) Cheers Rob

Helloooo. Thought I'd introduce myself. My names Tom Glover. Last weekend I purchased my first 300zx. Bought as a non runner. The previous owner had it sitting for the last few years. He had the engine fully rebuilt, new hybrid turbos etc, but never got round to finishing it off. So Im taking the work on myself. I'm sure I'll be needing some help and advise along the way so any input from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. Made a big decision to buy my old 300 tt back. I will keep you's all informed of my rebuild!!

Hi Guys, what you think..............

Hi All, After wanting to buy a 300zx since the mid 90's think it's about time I tried a bit harder to find one. The only other zx I have owned was the amazing wedge of the Sunny coupé zx, which I ended up selling to get a pickup. Last jap car I had was a Honda fn2 championship white edition which I sold to buy a van for work. Hey there seems to be a pattern forming here,anyway I have a van and family wagon GD1Jazz that is for the kids and lady of the house and I really need a toy something to cherish and enjoy. Prices of the 300zx seem to be on the rise but I'm sure a well looked after z32LWB 2+2 TT manual will be worth it. Not had chance yet to v…

just picked this up for £300 any going by an old for sale ad from 2011 it used to be veilsides show car, i found it around the back of a bodyshop asked to buy it and got it, they say its sat there for a few years, does anyone know the car? its in liverpool

Hi I'm Adam from Poland . I buy my 300zx in this year. It is 300zx Z32 twinturgo with automatic gearbox, longer version 2+2, in papers it's year 93 but in reality it's produced betwen 90 and 91. For most of it's live 300zx ride in Switzerland. It have body in nice shape, interior in mid form, and have many problems with engine. Now I'm thinking about engine rebuild, and searching for advices, because I hear that engines in 300zx are complicated to repair so I wanna find some advices before rebuild. In later plans I'm thinking about switching automatic gearbox to manual. In very faaaar future i'd like to lift my zx to 99 japan version ( front japan bumper and tail ligh…

Thought I should post this as a Newbie as she has recently come back from Powerzed and is like a new car after the following work New cambelt, timing pullys, water pump and coolant new injectors where required MT90 gearbox oil New heater matrix Speedo fixed - earth fault only Variable power steering now working correctly due to speedo fix PCV Valves replaced And the really good news - No more smoking on cold start up (the problem was due to a combination of un burned fuel due to missing and PCV valves blocked) and she feels like she has just gained a heap of BHP. Powerzed did a fantastic job at a very reasonable cost and even washed her for me prio…

hello fellow enthusiasts. finally made it onto forum . yes it was me who bought gaz woz,s convertible . only saw it by chance on e bay . some nice jap gentleman obviously had a few quid to spend on the mods its got . full brembos front /rear . exhaust a work of art . forged split rim hre wheels cheers simon

Evening all. Just joined up tonight as I purchased a beautiful zed about 2 weeks ago and want to share the fun! I'm also looking for some advice. I'm looking to do a manual conversion and have a reputable garage to carry out the work (Darren are D2 in Strood) but I need to source the complete kit, any ideas where I might find it? Many thanks in advance. Graeme.

Well, I wasn't actually in the market for another toy, but I was drawn to this Z because of the colour. It wasn't too far away, seemed reasonably priced and it turned out to be not too shabby - so now it's mine! I have no time or budget for it at the moment, and my current car is perfect for the winter (Subaru Legacy B4) so the new Z has been tucked up in a friends garage for the winter. No doubt I'll be back on here again in due course - naturally there are a few little jobs to be done, so I'll see y'all soon :biggrin:

Hi, I'm christophe, I live in France in Nantes Atlantic loie .. I am married and I have 2 children ... I am a restaurant 300zxtt I was 94, I love this car and I collect all the photos on the pag 300zx Thank you for your Home NEC classic motor show ^^

Hi, I'm new on here and I'm on the hunt for a 300zx tt. I would prefer a manual and don't mind Swb or lwb. If you know of any for sale or your thinking of selling yours drop me a pm! I met a few of the club owners at the nec classic car show on Thursday, I must say the three cars on show were all epic and you guys should be proud. Thanks for showing me your cars and the advice when looking for one.....Any of you thinking of selling up yet? Thanks, Dave

Hi guys, my names Tom and I've started to look at the 300's. Previously had a Stagea Autech 260rs but it was a short lived love affair due to some diesel. So I'm currently down to my 172 Cup and an 86 Prelude. Always had a soft spot for a 300 so I decided to sign up and start reading. Everyone seems friendly enough and a lot of my questions have already been answered. Haven't quite decided if importing would be the best route to take at the moment, plus the import companies I've spoken to have given me rough quotes which aren't anywhere near each other. One thing that is on my mind is that I'm not a short guy at 6' 5" and having never sat in one, will …

Hi All Just wanted to say hi to everyone as a new Z owner. I bought a 95 auto TT. Had her for about 2 months now and really loving it. I've already taken her to my local tuners FC tuning in Hodderston, whom i highly recomend by the way, and gave her a pre dyno check and a good looking over. After basic upgrades, air filter/intercooler/exhaust/fuel regulator/ Nis-tune remap and boost controller i am running a healthy 380bhp according to the dyno, which is plenty for me at the moment, plus i know auto boxes do have their limit. I absolutely love the interior as the previous owner had her re-upholstered to a great standard, I am a big fan of the early jap TT cars and al…
