Newbies - let yourselves be known

Hi I am thinking of buying a Nissan 300zx Z31 which apparently has failed the MOT because of excessive corrosion to the back axle bushes - any idea how easy it is to replace this, what is it like to get parts for the 300ZX, etc I had a 280ZX and eventuall had to let it go as the rust bug had got hold and parts were not that cheap - any advice welcome.

Hi All, Steve here! Bought a 300zx TT in 2010, joining the club a short time after. confess to not having come on board earlier, but seeing the sort of information and disscussions going on I wish I had!. She is in Black and a manual, it came with a number of upgrades, including Bailey dump valves, HKS filter, and mongoose straight through stainless exhaust (sounds great, not boomy) The model is a 91 import which had a good history and paperwork covering various extensive works and upgrades, but having been plagued by a number of runing issues, have not used the car much, although still manitained servicing at the relative intervals. Was hoping to get…

Hi everyone glad to have found this forum . I have a short wheel base 300zx normaly aspirated, had it for about 14 years 10 of those it's been sitting on the drive I'm now wanting to get it up and going again, I've run it on the drive every few months and all seems well I'm just really concerned about the timing belt . The car has done about 70000 so ,not too worn but the age scares me So I'm looking for someone who can help me renew it (I'm not a mechanic but I'm not afraid to get stuck in if I'm with some one who know how to do these things ) also happy to help others who help me or someone to do the whole job So please if your near by or know some one please …

hello guys, my names darren and ive recently developed a liking towards the 300zx z32, so thought id join up and get some information on the car, im more into drifting then having a high horse power vehicle so thought id do a bit of research on this model for my next project :clap:

Hi ive got a red fairlady 300zx that I have had for 2 years now and do love her to bits, yes she was also on ebay, but only just this min took it off, have decided to keep her, she really is a great car and although my situation needs a child friendly car with large boot hence why I was selling in the first place, I just couldn't bare it, and decided that I have still not grown up, nor am I sensible, so she has to stay no matter how heavy my right foot is :o) Sorry forgot to mention my Name is Karen also known with american cars as Red Angel :o)

Hello everyone! I stumbled across your forum after searching for some tech things for my ZX, took a look, and decided to register. So now I should probably introduce myself. I'm a student from Slovenia at the end of my first year of owning my second car, a 1994 300ZX Turbo, (almost) fully restored by it's previous owner. Now I'm slowly working away on various minor gremlins and enjoying the car. I would like to say that I hope to contribute to this forum in some meaningful fashion, but my lack of mechanical skills will probably put me in the role of the newb who constantly asks silly questions about blinker fluid. I'm more of an enthusiastic driver than a mecha…

Hi all, I've been here from some time. I live in the Netherlands. Now I'll become more active since I'm going to put my Z back on the road. It has been standing still a few years. I'll post u some pictures soon. C ya! Mark

So swapped our subaru b4 rsk tt for a 1992 300zx tt, a longtime dream car and today the turbo seals went spectacularly. Shame but it was eventually gonna need doing. but hey ho, any advice is welcomed greatly :)

Having owned my 300 for a couple of years now, I thought I'd better make the union official and join the club! It's a manual 300 n/a (n/a unfortunately - I didn't look at the advert properly, drove 350 miles to see it and still didn't notice till I took it for a test drive! Trouble is I'd already fallen in love so had to have it - plus my poor pug 306 would not have made the return journey!!) I had a 200sx for a few years and alway loved it and was looking for another. They are so hard to find, so I ended up "just checking" the 300 ads and that was that. I use mine as an every day car and regularly travel to Newcastle and Coventry from Cornwall. Only mods are HID…

Hi all, my name is Steve and I am currently NOT the owner of a 300zx!!!! I will be buying one during the summer but thought it would be a good idea to get started on finding a good un. I have been interested in 300Zx's for ages now and nearly bought one in 2004-5 but ended up with a VX220 instead. Many cars later I have decided its time for a ZX but I am very fussy. If a car rattles then its in the garage being sorted. This is what I would like, could anyone tell me how hard this could be: Preferably in pearl white, black or yellow (dodgy colour I know), possibly gun metal grey Targa Top Twin Turbo 2+2 Slightly modified, exhaust, BOV, splitters maybe n…

Hey all. I'm a nasty horrible person that wants to buy a 300zx and chop it up :( basically, I'm attempting to rwd my civic, I looked at honda engines but most rotate the wrong way and the s2k has nearly a 10" shorter wheelbase than the EK hatch so that would mean an expensive custom propshaft and fabbing 10" of trans tunnel plus i want a turbo so thats more expense right there - so i started looking around at other cars with a similar wheelbase and the 300zx is less than 2" difference, nearlt the same track width, has plenty of power, turbos as standard and still has japanese reliability it's a bit of a crazy project, but I dont fancy spending thousands of poun…

Hi guys Been on here since Jan but as I was paying for my 1st sub I realised I never said hi So HELLO EVERYBODY

Hi to my fellow 300zx fans. My name is Ryan, and im in the Southwest UK (Somerset area) Im new to the 300zx, so thought I would sign up and do some research before I part with hard earned cash. Looking forward to this interesting read. Anyway, I have NEVER owned a 300zx TT, but almost bought on a few years ago. Now Im returning to the import scene, its number one on my list this time round. Previous imports I have owned are three GTO TT's, an R33 GTS, three MR2 Tubbies, an S14 200sx and 2 FTO GPX Mivecs. However about 3 years ago, I started driving more modern European cars, like the ST500 and currently a DS3r. I want the 300zx to be my daily …

just a quick hello, new ti the Z'd scene. just bought a right wreck off a crook named "Baz", would go and sort him out but cant be arsed to drive that far again !! :laugh:

Hi everyone I'm new here pick up my 300zx TT on Saturday can't wait, will post some pics n spec up once it's home Paul

Finally got hold of my car this weekend, cheers to Jai-Kai! What a great drive from Scotland down to Lancashire. Here's a pic, but with jai-Kai's spare wheels on, I wanted to see if black was the right way to go?

Hi guys, Newbie here looking to buy my first 300zx, which is going to be my new daily driver replacing my 9-3 Aero. Any specific zx faults that I should look out for? I would prefer a manual but I'm coming round to the idea, I've always though auto's were abit..gay but I'm coming around to the idea, especially with it being my everyday running project. What are the auto's like? I've ALWAYS wanted a Fairlady, but something has always got in the way of me buying one, I was actually going to buy a GTO tt, but sense has prevailed ;) With it being my daily, how reliable are they? I'm either going for a minter or the other end of the scale and buy somet…

Hi I'm John I have just got my first Z as a fixer upper after a bad time with a Supra. I've had many Japanese performance cars but always liked the shape of a Z. Its a bit tatty and runs badly but at £500 for a road legal manual TT I can't loose i hope...

So busy fixing my 1st z forgot to say Hi thanks to all that help have helped me get seriously hooked :cool3: Paul

Hi guys I'm new here.My name is Alex and I'm from Italy.Came here to do some search on VG30DETT engine, if everything will be ok I will swap this to my s13 body. If I'm not mistaken the VG engine is easyer than the RB26 and it costs less money so it is the perfect way to go for cheap power and v6 is better than the str8 6.The only thing left to do is to learn where its weak points are...I hope you guys will give me a hand with this,thanks and by the way sorry for the mistakes that I made when I was writing, I 'm trying to do my best.

Just picked up a lwb auto, original I bought it just to take to the ring as my Noble won't be back in time!! But now thinking of holding on to it as its a dam good car for the money!!! It could do with a bit of a spit and polish and some new brakes but all is good!!! Has anyone got any upgraded brakes that they want to sell???? Glad I joined the 300zx clan Nicksy
