http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-Nismo-twin-turbo-/311316889062?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item487beebde6 Hi Folks The car I was after has popped up again and I'm wondering if I could ask you for some help and advice on it please. The car looks great in the pictures but has come back on an HPI check as declared "Cat D Vehicle Damaged" in 1998. It does shout off the page at me (mainly saying "buy me buy me") I just wondered what the consensus of opinion is as to how much it is worth. And also if anyone knows the car any further info would be great. Any help will be greatly appreciated and exchanged for beers at a subsequent when I finall…

Hi All, I'm interested in owning a 300zx, prefer a near to stock manual twin-turbo. I really like the 300zx, great styling and engine note. Was wondering if there are any Z meets or Z owners nearby that would be willing to meet up and show me their Zs. Would be great to have a walkaround so I can get a feel for what to look for when buying. I'm keen on doing my own maintainence, and love cars. My first car was an old skool Ford, and currently have a V8 5-series for fun. I'm based in the South East in Hertfordshire, just North of London. Cheers

Hi. I was a member in 2007 when I owned a TT LWB model which eventually blew an engine, and I sold on after getting her fixed. Since then I have owned a 350z, but my passion for the 300 has never dwindled and I always find myself trawling through the ads and on Ebay. My view is that appear to be not many decent original vehicles for sale, and with that in mind I decided to have a look in Japan. To cut a long story short I am in the process of getting not one but two over. Low mileage near mint vehicles. My reason for rejoining the forum was to see if there was a need out there for such vehicles from the members, and with that in mind I aim to offer at least one of these …

hi, finally have my own 300zx after being around them for the last 22 years, some of you may recognise it as the slicktop for sale on ebay about a month or so ago, but it was actually mike feeney who had it at his house and was helping a friend sell it, i did see the post about it on here having been slammed and rusty and rubbish paint which did put me off but mike did say he couldnt see any rust and i took his word for it and drove 4 hours to london and i to couldnt find any rust either spent a few hours at mikes and drove it home, also i really dont like the standard wheels so if anyone has any they are selling i would be interested i would like 18 inch with a dish but …

Not a newbie as such...but I've had my 300zx back after it has been stored at a friends garage for 3 and a half years so I'm getting back into the swing of things with it. The story goes that it was originally driven up to my friends garage as it needed welding and a respray and also because he said I could use his ramp and tools to get the engine out and turbos off for refurbishment. The engine has been out, clutch upgraded to a 5 puck ceramic new one, flywheel upgraded to a lightened new one, new exhaust manifiolds, and the turbos upgraded plus other mods that I can't remember all of off the top of my head such as the plenum water bypass. The welding and respray ha…

Hi Guys Just got my 4th Z32. Low miles TT auto. Previous owner has fitted horrible wheels and changed the back lights for skyline lookalikes. Want to go back to originals so if anyone can help with a set of lights or wheels, I'd be grateful. Contact is 07858597783.Name is Ali.

I finally found a Z! TT Manual 2+2, 1992. There are a couple of teething problems, if anyone has time to offer some advice there's a separate thread under the help section titled, 'Boost anomaly'.

I would just like to say hello,as i am a proud owner of a n/a ZX by choice as i have plans.Not sure if some old friends are still in this club after leaving the Probe Club,but if you are, then you will know what i mean lol.

Hi guys, after nearly 5 years and 1 recession, I've decided to reignite my love for all things Z. I still have the car and a lot of nice parts, so I figured I'd have another crack at rebuilding it to its former glory. It will take time and money so bear with me ?. I've had a look on here from time to time and it's nice to see there's still plenty of names I recognise, and a few new ones also. This was always a great spot for help, advice and general banter. Living with a Zed in Ireland is always challenging but here goes ? Anyways..... How's it going ?? ? Richie

Hi guys just got myself a 300zx non turbo in red after 4 wasted years on a Triumph Stag. Its not in perfect shape, however there aint much wrong with it, leaky targa and passenger electric window dont work and that seems to be it (so far). regards Sean

Hello all, I tend to do long rambling posts, so please bear with me! I've just signed up as I have been thinking about scratching my 300ZX itch from when I first played Gran Turismo all those years ago! I have had some pretty awesome cars and some pretty terrible ones too, so hoping that taking a lot of time with this one will help me out in securing a good un. I’m planning to change from my current car (big diesel auto) to something abit more involving but still comfortable for the occasionally long journeys to cornwall as I've just got a new job much closer to home and would be planning to use the car as my daily 20mile commute. So when the time comes I ho…

Hi just joined the site , brought myself a 91 300zx tt manual. Dyno at 426 bhp only 63 k ,I absaloutely love it . Have owned 80 or 90 cars and none make me feel like I do when driving this thanks

Hi all, some of you know of me already, Adam-Murse and Coldel to mention a couple, but I'm a skyline gtst owner considering trying a z32 300zx. I've had my skyline for nearly 5 years now, bought as I used to have an mr2 turbo but needed rear seats when we started having kids. The skyline was intended to give me something fun that I could still enjoy, but I've never had the budget to make it particularly quick. I've been considering a change for a while now, and the car had been absolutely faultless throughout, until the head gasket popped last weekend. Not bad for a 22 year old car with 107,000 miles on it I guess, but now I can't decide whether to fix it or use it a…

Hi I am new. I have a 1993 Z32 TT UK which I have owned since 1997. i am looking to replace various "tired" parts eg door and window seals. Firstly I need to replace both top door skin window seals. can anyone help.

Hello, My name is Rob (43) from Dorset and I have just bought a 300 ZX Z31 (NA) Auto.It has 100k on the clock but you wouldn't think so looking at her. Even though she's an 87, the bodywork and interior is excellent. This is (in a way) my first car ! Let me explain... I am in a wheelchair and until now have had 9 cars under the motability 3 year lease scheme. So this is the first time I have had a "real" car, one that I am passionate about, instead of one that "fits." I'm not complaining. The Motability scheme is a fantastic thing and I have had many years if happy and importantly care-free motoring. I have always been a petrol-head and motorspo…

Well, its been a while so, I thought I'd drop by and say hi. Ive still got the old girl, although its been off the road since 2010. I decided to turn it into a full blown track car with a modest 4.8 Twin turbo'd chevy V8 hooked up to a 6 speed tremec t56 magnum under the bonnet. Plenty of pics if anyones interested ?

Hi guys. Recently bought myself a low miles 1992 300zx tt manual in silver as I always wanted one years ago but always bought something else instead. Its not too modified, just little bits added, mainly sorting out some minor faults just now whoever worked on it before was no mechanic that's for sure! I also have the 350z as my daily which is great fun. Looks like a great active forum and looking forward to getting involved. Rich

Just bought my first 300 And I want to buy a front mount kit with pipes and blow off valves but can't find any in this country anyone able to point me in the right direction ?! Need to do it before paint.

Hi Everyone, I have just got my Z from Clarkey, leaving him room to import some more jap beasts :tt2: I have to say that it really puts a smile on my face :) Really looking forward to participating in these forums and getting some useful info. My first job is going to be replacing the spoiler as it's suffered from water ingress and is slowly falling apart so.....suggestions on replacements please :devil2: Then I'll start looking at the brakes and replacing bushes etc

Peterborough based, Ben is the name! Non ZX owner though.. Always been a bit different when it comes to cars, I'm 22 and have had 6 cars to date, an XR2i, a mk3 Fiesta S with a 2.0 Zetec lump, a mk4 Fiesta lowered on Capri 4 spokes (surprisingly worked!), a mk4 Escort Popular with 28,000 miles that I used to smoke around in at college, I then bought a 1700 Puma which took the track treatment, and I now roll around in a Volvo 850 T5 running around 270bhp sat on a set of S80 wheels.. Without spending a wedge on internals, I can't really go a lot further with the Volvo, plus I've had a real hankering for some 90's turbocharged Jap goodness for a while! So, …

Hi, I am new to this forum and thought i'd put out a scream for help!!! I have just brought my first 300zx tt, manual uk edition. The problem is I have no power..... So on standstill it misses noticeably and when under load it splutters really badly which is no fun!!! Can somebody please help guide me and also is there any 300zx specialists local to me? (North London) Thanks
