Newbies - let yourselves be known

Hi members, Just joined tonight. As per title I'm being made redundant, good news is... I have another job, better news is... I'm using a bit of the redundo, to purchase my first ever retro Jap... I considered the GTO/3000 and the Supra, and also the MR2 and Celica. For some reason I have been drawn to the 300 zed. I've read the buyers guides, and reviews etc... However I'm a little un-sure where to buy a decent one from. I'd rather not use EBay or Gumtree, and there isn't many available privately on forums... Any ideas? Thanks in Advance. Adam

Hi, I'm 18 and relatively new to jap cars. I've got (as unsurprising it may sound for an 18 year old) a Eunos roadster. Its a G-ltd though so a bit different. My build thread is here incase anyone is interested: http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=143669&hl= Anyway, i've spent a fair chunk of my already small wage on this and countless hours, but although I love it, I've always wanted a 300zx. They are absolutely brilliant looking cars and with them being much less common I am loving them even more. Now that i'm only insured on this and my bikes, Ive found myself more often needing some rear seats. Aha! I thought, a 300z…

Hi everyone, I'll cut to the chase, i work at a nissan dealer and have joined this forum to sell you all any obsolete stock/cancelled orders etc... some people frown on this but i am a petrol head myself although not a 300ZX owner. anything i can do to help you guys save some cash on parts must be a bonus right?? can anyone tell me the corrct place to advertise the fact i have some parts surplus to requirements due to a cancelled order? many thanks andy

Hi guys, I'm about to buy a 300zx I know nothing about these cars but this ones cheap... It has its problems but I'm hoping they are a relatively easy fix. - no mot or tax - hasn't been started in 6 months or so - oil is a little creamy... - plastic spoiler has seemingly rotted the tailgate away - blue smoke from exhausts upon initial start, gradually got clearer as the car got up to temp. - I'm told it's driven 11 miles since previous mot where lots of money was spent on tyres, welding, cooling etc... - the rest of the car is in ok / tatty condition and could do with a detail. As its been sat for a while, I understand it could do with a serv…

There may be some on here that remember me, I have had to re- register , used a different name, as I dont have access to my old email acc, Inwas the person formerly known as TULIP, and I have just tonight bought myself another zed, so coming back to the fold if I may, a bit of a different model than I thought I would ever own

Hello everyone, Based in Cheshire with a 1990 TT - the 300 is something I always wanted as kid! It is mildly modified but not up to my standard. I am currently in the process of building a new wiring loom out of aircraft spec wiring (nickel plated copper; the lower resistance allows a step down in gauge over "normal" wire generally), have two old engines being made into one forged one and the bodywork is going to be changed (bringing back the original lights). Oh and it's going to get a diet. :P It's not going to be a race car but I want a super car that Nissan intended :P Anyway, looking forward to learn a lot.

New to this forum, I have been a big fan of the 300ZX and I am currently looking to buy one, so please bear with me on some newbie questions about the car :) I currently own an R32 GTR which I have been busy building the engine and working on the brake and suspension setup.

Hello all. I've been a member on here for a while but didn't realise, I obviously signed up a few years ago when I first started looking at Zeds. Anyway, finally bought one even though I haven't collected it yet. It's the blue one that used to be owned by murt, I bought it off ghazoobe on driftworks who uses the same id on here. Here is the thread off here anyway- http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=174311 I am going to be using it for drifting, been a fan of nissans for years, had a few s13's and s14's but always wanted a zed. Hopefully see some of you around, any members that drift these and can give me a few pointers if love to here from you. C…

Hi all Long time lurker here , been working on my zed slowly for a few years so thought I would post up some pics , and look for some help at the same time. Now the problem , I have a carmad bumper and cannot get the arch liner to meet the bumper anyone else had this issue ? I have tried to push it in to meet the liner holes but its splitting and going to break.

I,m Bryan and slowly getting back into performance cars after a lay off, of over 20 years. I,m planning on getting my UK spec manual twin turbo 2+2 on the road in the next couple of weeks. No doubt i,ll be burning your ears with questions along the way. Cheers BRYAN

Sorry I missed this bit when I registered. I see the activity is as lively as it was when I was registered back in 2002! Well I kept my first z for 3 years & I have been z less since March this year:yes: I've imported it & at this moment it's (hopefully) being sorted for MOT, then registering with DVLA for plates & then onto road! I have just sent my subscription off to the club on Friday 27/06/14. First z was red & a UK one! This one is pearl white & Jap! I know & seen members comments about best colour of Z'ds! In common with both they are TTs & autos. Cannot wait to get on the road!! Hi to all (sorry this is long winded)! …

Hi all I'm jason, I'm from South Wales. In 1998 I purchased a 1989 2+2 turbo, manual transmission, etc. I drove it for a year then got a company vehicle, it's been in the garage ever since. Unfortunately she is looking a little worst for wear so I've decided it's time to spend some money on her and get her back on the road, gonna spend the summer working on her, will put up some pictures when I next pull her out of the garage, I know to start the breaks have seized, and the clutch pedal stays on the floor ( hopefully just fluid gone off). She has been started every year so hopefully engine all good. Speak soon Jas.

Hi, I'm from Cheddar, Somerset. I drive a 200SX S14 and need some Z32 bits so thought I'd sign up. It'll be good to look through some project threads too! All the best, Silverzx

Hi everyone. New member her from Northern Ireland! After years of want I'm finally in the position to buy a zed. However id love a few questions answered before I take the plunge. Unfortunately not being very mechanically minded I'm worried about possible problems/upkeep needed. Being in Northern Ireland are there any good places that are experienced in servicing and the mechanics of a 300zx if anything major goes wrong? Thanks guys.

Hey guys. Time to say hi on a new forum! If any of you are on DW, have had a skyline or a S-body then you may know me :) I was ready to drive back to uni yesterday and saw a gentleman leaving a house where there has been a 300ZX parked for the last 7 years! I decided to take the plunge and ask him if it was for sale.... Bought it by accident then and there lol. Thats one of my old S13s, so rotten it's just not safe anymore, even as a drift car. So we stripped it. Many questions I have about the Zed, I'll post them in the right section, and be ready for a good project thread! :D - Adam

Hello all! I am the proud owner of a brand new(ish) 1990 300ZX TT Manual :D I joined in order to find like minded people with a passion for these cars. Unfortunately the car can't be driven by me until January 2015 due to my current insurer not covering me on imports so will have to wait for my policy to run out and change company :( I have already picked up a few useful tip by looking through some of the posts and thought to myself, why not join and make the most of this useful forum? :) So here is the car, more pictures will follow :) Oh and one last thing, I still need help picking a name for her! ;) Thanks, Stefan

Daft newbie question this but. Most forums (SkylineOwners.com, SXOC, GTROC etc) I'm on have project threads. I'm a total geek, I do all my own work and I love spending nightshifts reading project threads, getting ideas and learning about a new car. But I can't really find any here?

hi guys,my names jamie, im 25, dont quite own a 300zx yet, picking 1 up in a week or so from a mate :) its cheap, its the twin turbo, but because it needs work, was surprised to find i can get insurance on it for under £600 as a new policy with a fault claim and no ncb :) always loved the look of these cars and im chuffed that im going to own 1 :) as i said it needs a couple of small bits doing but im looking forward to it, get ready for many questions from me :)

Hi guys 300ZX TT SWB Just thought I'd say hello. Picked up my Z a couple of weeks ago and after a few long-ish runs in it (and plenty of short ones to country pubs while the sun lasts!) I'm firmly of the belief that I have a goody! Mileage was 64.7k when I bought it and successive MOT certificate show that it had only done 1400m in the last 4 years! More incredibly I have evidence of a Nissan main dealer service at 62k - ten years ago!! :biggrin: The thing looks new in places - the original carpets look perfect; all of the glass seals work properly (tested with jet wash!) and it doesn't even seem to use huge amounts of fuel. Different kit: stainless z…

Hello all, My name is Sean and I've just joined the forum today. Let me explain a bit about myself. I'm a student at the University of York, but live in Bromley, South London. I currently drive a Mazda RX-8, which I'm very happy with, but unfortunately running costs are becoming slightly too much for me, especially as it looks like some very expensive maintenance might have to be done soon. For this reason I started looking for an alternative, but was convinced the car I wanted didn't exist. I wanted a Japanese turbo that was faster than the RX-8, seated four, looked good and was in some way convertible. Then I discovered the 300ZX! I've been doing some research of l…
