Newbies - let yourselves be known

Hey there, I'm Alistair. I've registered as from next month I will be on the lookout for a manual uk twin turbo hopefully around the £2500/3000 area, cheaper if possible. I thought through this site I may be able to get advice at what to look for when buying a 300 as I have never owned a nissan or even looked into them. I'm a vehicle technician anyway so I know what to look for mechanically but wasn't sure if there are known faults with these. There's bound to be some as every car has them. Cheers

Hi all, my name is Mike and I from Portugal. I have one 300ZX TT and this is the second time I change it all. I bought my Z in 1998 with a head-on collision, and repared it. Then it was the "Fast & Furious" time, and I make a full rebuilt. In 2006 I began an new rebuild, but since I was some problems it was stoped 5 years. This year I began again, and now it's in the middle of the process. This is when it goes painting

Hi everyone, after 20 years of waiting finally managed to get a 1990 ZX GT-t stage 2 tuned so she should be sliding at buxton next year aswell as the pod !

Hi,new here,in fact the DETT for my Lambo kitcar is still in the back of the Galaxy,plenty issues to sort out yet but i've got an exotic power unit at least,hope its what the guy said:blink: Cheers , Dave.

Hi all. Hopefully in a few weeks i will be buying my 1st Z ! It will be my 2nd car so the miles will not be a problem ( midlife crisis hitting hard :scared: ) ATM Im looking at 2 cars ? PPI claim pending !! Bartflasters 95 manual slickie n/a & a 96 TT 2+2 auto on pistonheads ???????? head goes slickie , heart ( whats left of it ) goes TT. Any ideas Guys & Gals ????? Tony

Just thought I would re-introduce myself - Have had the Z now for a yr and a half. Over the past year I have not been as active as I would have liked on the forum. Have had a bit of a nightmare recently with my relationship ending :crying: so there is now only one lady in my life :wub:

Thought I would pop in and say hi. Must of been a few years since i have been on a club site. Still going, still got the car, although shes under cover. And still ver finished her off poor oll girl

Hello, I became a subscribed member this week. I'm also living in Stratford, London. The car is a 1990 SWB TT targa manual with a few nice mods. Hoping to get some good technical info from members. Thanks shortz

Hey, everyone!! Been a member for a while now, but just became a subscribed member and thought it aboit time I introduced myself. I've had my import lwb tt Z for just over a year now. I bought it as a hobby/project and that is exactly what it has been. I had electrical gremlins until about three months back which I have finally sorted (touch wood) and had just pulled out all interior and slowly retrimming in leather ;headache. However due to moving and having to renovate new house, Z is currently on hold :( so I have to get my Z fix by checking in here 5 or 6 times a day ;addict. Anyway, keep up the interesting reads and hello again :)

Hi all, new guy from Bristol here I have a 94 UK 300zx turbo bought from another member earlier in this year.

I am in the process of buying a 1991 Fairlady Z32 Coupe manual twin turbo, it needs a whole exhaust system and front dics, so i was thinking to get the brakes done all around. At the minute the car is standard but i want to upgrade as i mod the car. Any suggestions for a good exhaust and brake set up would be exactley what i need. Thanks for any help. By the way, if i do get the car i might be asking loads of silly questions as it has been about 12 years since I had my last 300zx.

Hi all, I'm Alex and last week I got myself a '91 300zx Targa :) :) I have included a picture but as you can see she needs a good clean Lots of things to sort out but i really don't mind as i'm totally loving the car. Hopefully i can get some expert advice here on the things that needs fixing.. Cheers

hi i am newbie here wanted to say Hello

Hello Gents and Ladies of the forum. pleased to be part of the community :) I was wondering if there are many in here based in the LONDON area? if so, where do you get your ZX worked on? and specialist within the M25? Regards Mo.

Hello everyone ... I am a newbie (today). My wife and I enjoy our cars. We run a BMW Z3M Coupe which we love, but we do most of our mileage in an old straight six Volvo S80 (automatic, LPG converted). The old Volvo does most things very well, and returns a cost equivalent of 45 mpg, so it is a fine car. My wife finds the Z3 clutch/gearbox a bit heavy, and I fancy a targa top. So we're looking at maybe trying to find a good 300zx automatic targa top. A turbo engine isn't important (the Z3 provides all that is needed in the oomph department). A zx seems - on paper - to offer what we want ... a bit of space inside, a smooth ride and targa tops .... and it is a real…

Hi everyone, just joined up as 1, I partied with you all at jae last year, 2, I've just bought my dads zx off him as he was going to scrap it and it only needs some TLC and mot, So watch this space for when she's looking beautiful again and up for sale :)

Hello all, just introducing myself. My zed is a rolling shell picked up for a friend who didn't need it in the end. Decided that because the engine has 62K on it, I'd give it a go to get up and running. It has no interior but the plan is to cage it out, upgrade as much as possible and then throw it down a track somewhere! Managed to get hold of some Greddy turbos for not too much money so they should help make it faster. Good few months of work ahead. :hang:

Hi all, I have been looking and admiring the zx for a long time and now in a position where I am actually looking to do something about it I was just after a couple of bits of info. I am not a fan of auto's generally but would love to know some opinions on how good the auto boxes are in these or whether it would be worth sticking with the manuals. Being a car thats not easily available for test drives, any comparisons would be nice. 2ndly, anyone on here a carp fisherman? If so can you get rods in the car? :punk: Thanks Daz

hi my name ted just done 240 mls and pickup my 1st z well happy cant wait to get up and wash it and polish it the wife got the hump already ooops

Hi all, thought I'd introduce myself. My names John and I've just got my hands on my first 300ZX, which is also my first 'big' car. It's a 1990 N/A in red. I'm based around the Cheltenham area. I'm sure to have lots of questions over the next few weeks, and this place looks to be by far the best place to get information. I'm looking forward to my journey with my 300! Cheers John

Just thought i'd say hi to everyone and introduce myself... My names Tony and ive owned my 1990 twin turbo for about 7 years now but sadly its been neglected the past couple of years but im about to restore & modify my car and thought i'd join the forum and see what everyones doing to theres and share my pic's and experiences as i do this plus im sure i will need a bit of help along the way :laugh: I would add some photos but as a newbie i havent worked out how to yet haha
