Newbies - let yourselves be known

Hello there, I'm new to 300zx engines, sorry to say that's all I have, anyway I'm looking at putting this engine in a transit, I have a twin turbo engine and gearbox from a manual, I think it was a j reg car z32 anyway I've had a look around your site and already the wiring diagram is gonna be very useful, thanks very much :) I'm in Bournemouth just wonder if there are any experts around the Bournemouth area who I can quiz about where all the stuff goes :) anyway, looks like a great site. And hello to every one :) Ben.

Hi all its a few years since I have been on here - managed to lose all my log in details etc... Anyway still have a 1992 twin turbo red 300zx which is is great fun to drive. A couple of years ago I had a fair bit of work done by Jeff at Zed World which was all good and was trying to contact him again but he seems to have shut the business ? Is that correct or have I just not found the correct link ? It if is shut can anyone suggest someone who they trust to work on their Zed in the South East at a fair price. Thanks

Hi Guys Just been and looked at a SWB manual TT import. Car is solid, low mileage, runs and drives well with pretty much no rust anywhere. The only problem is the HPI check comes back clean apart from saying it is a 2+2 Am I being too suspicious here or is this a cock up in registering the car when it was imported. As always any thoughts and comments are welcome. Cheers

Hi Guys, My name is Doru and I live in Oxford , I got a 1990 300zx twin turbo for almost a year , not many modifications just the wheels and a very loud sound system. I was trying to upload some pictures on this post from my computer but I don't know how :)

I've been on the forum for a while now. But after months of searching I've found the right car and put my money down on it! These photos are from the listing, I was enjoying the viewing too much to take my own. I'm picking her up on Wednesday and will give a thorough wax and then post some new ones! Also will be buying a Forum Subscription very soon! Once I recuperate some money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all thought id just say hello. This is actually my second fairlady as i had one a few years buck but unlike my old one this is a 1995 import, twin turbo manual. Seems to be well looked after and in good condition but fairly standard just now. It currently has a cat-back HKS system, Apexi induction kit and apparently different turbos. However im not sure which turbos as of yet. I will be fitting the down pipes that i have shortly and then will be looking into getting the ECU sorted out for running more boost. I have had the ECU out and see it is totaly standard with no socket. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where i can obtain the required …

Hi all, iv been a lurker for some time on here and thought I should introduce myself as I have owned my zed for a month or two now and will probably be using the forum more frequently My name is Callum and I'm from the rhondda South Wales I picked up my zed a few months ago and it's undergoing a mild bodywork restoration and a full engine rebuild (not by me!) and should be uploading some pics pretty soon as I figure out how to do it! And that's about it! Look forward to being a part of the forum!

Hi everyone, My names Tracy and I am from Bathgate in West Lothian. I am currently in the market for a 300zx though holding out for the right one to pop up for sale. I have wanted one since i was about 10yrs old and now I can finally get one. Not sure if it will be an TT or a NA one though I ride a CBR600f and this has made me view cars in a bit off a less enthusiastic way so I might end up with a nice clean NA one (I like the underdog) I joined to get more information on them and advice :). Between my partner and myself we currently own a VW Polo 1.8 20v turbo, EG honda civic with B18C4 engine conversion, 1.4 EK Honda Civic (daily shed), MK3 Toyota…

Hi there, Just thought I'd say hi. I run a company called Loud Pedal Tuning and look after a customers 300zx and currently bringing a short wheel base 300 back to the road so thought it would be a good idea to join the forum. I look forward to speaking to some of you in the future.

Hey all! I'm new to the forum and the Z world in general, after having only just bought one last month. I've wanted one for a long time now and finally managed to get my hands on a 1990 TT AT Fairlady import. I wanted a little bit of a project car so the AT will one day be coming out when the money is good and the knowledge base is there, and replacing with the 5sp. I'm keen to restore the car to the Fairlady standard rather than modify it too heavily, and any help in the coming months/years......decades would be most appreciated! The car is cosmetically in great condition, and the engine seems to run great, especially considering the age. There are so many unknowns …

Hi, I joined the club in 2006 but mostly lurked in the background. My old username was Mr Matt but I only posted a few messages. After years of not really visiting the site, I feel like joining in a bit more and changing my username at the same time. If anyone is interested, my name is Matthew and I'm a physicist working at the University of Manchester. Met my wife at uni here 14 years ago and we have a two year old son. I've owned my gunmetal grey 300ZX TT since 2006 when my dad gave it to me. Best Gift Ever! He bought it new in 1990 when I was 8 years old so it's been a part of the family for most of my life. Hopefully I'll be passing it on to my son one day.…

Hi all...just joined the forum....as I think I am hankering after a 300zx!....I have spent ages trying to decide if I liked the looks or not...and to be honest, its pretty stunning...doesn't look dated either...and I love that 80's back end!....only problem now is I already have 3 toys...and no spare room....I have an XJ-S, a 944 S2 and an E30 325I Sport...I might be persuaded to lose one ( or even 2) in order to gain a ZX!...But, for now, I am just going to educate myself a bit more on the cars.....as I am torn between SWB V LWB, auto V manual, standard body V modified....but I think I MUST have a twin turbo...:)

Hi All, Just thought I'd say hi! Got my 1st 300zx tt (auto) about 4 weeks ago now, really love it as it has been a dream car since I first saw one when I was 10 years old lol! The car is beautiful and it turn so many heads. It has however a couple of issues I wondered if anyone can help with: When the weather is dry, the car runs perfect.... when it is damp, tbh its awful! When its damp, it idles at around 1500rpm and changes gears randomly and irratically. I have completed the auto diagnostic check which I found online and it came up with the throttle position sensor. Only issue I've got is I can't find a garage willing to work on the car in the local…

hi everyone, first time z owner. I have recently bought a 1988 300zx z31, and yes it needs bodywork doing, anyone have any front panels and sills lol.

Hi guys, always loved the 300zx and decided to purchase a 1986 2+2 n/a. Needs body work doing, had it a month now and loving every minute i'm working on her. I have just bought a new boot lid as someone had put a spoiler on it and not fitted it correctly and leaked and rotted the lid and metal were boot stops go. Engine is stock put running great still going to service her. Any upgrades would be welcomed if improves the car any advice. Also I have the original oem alloys on but struggling to find tyres 210/60/390. Any owners from the north east I am in sunderland. Andrew

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.
