Newbies - let yourselves be known

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

Hi guys, just thought i'd say hello! Hunting for my first Z. Owned an RX-7 FD3s for 4 years.. stupidly sold it to refurb garage/flat roof extension in need of repair last november and am now hunting for my next bhp fix. Always been a huge Z fan, and hoping that manta-v8 pics up on the fact i've replied to his ancient for sale thread that was recently bumped :P its the only V6 twin turbo motor out there i fancy owning after rotary sequential twin madness so i hope one pops up soon! p.s. if anyone with PM abilities or manta-v8's phone number would like to poke him, feel free :D anyone, hopefully a Z32 owner soon!

I'm alf iv got a LWB targa roof manual box what a great combo :tongue_smilie: will upload pic shortly.

Hi all

pest over here, no not really..Hi all , just joined , trying to find a nice reliable 300zx...been offered a 94 l turbo £3250 a 1997 turbo , very cheap @32500 and saw a uk car turbo 1992 plate £2800...just that theyre all miles away, oh i am in kent and any tips, I would be greatful, cheers jim....

First , HI to all the forum ! I recently aquired my first 300zx , it's a TT manual LWB and completely stock. I paid very little money for it because it has a knackered engine but the rest seems to be in good shape. My plans for it are replacing the engine , polish and fix some details here and there and just enjoy driving it in the weekends. Here are some pics from the day I picked it. BTW, anyone can recomend me a reputable supplier of engines or 300zx breaker? Thanks again.

hi all im new to the site, got pointed this way from jap wales, just come back to having another zx, just bought my 3rd, 93 import TT auto in silver, almost standard apart from full japspeed exhaust system, lots to do now :wink:, now gonna have a good look around the site and will get some pictures up of the car asap.

Looks as nice forum and I own a 1990, TT, 300ZX, AUTO 81K MILES! This will be most helpfull since I maybe and very regrettably be forced to sell one of my cars! The wife DOESNT THINK MY WAY, naturally! This is depending on a pottential family relocation. Also own a 1994 but that he sleeps eats and breaths In my heated garage this tim of year.

Hi guys, Some of you may have already seen me post for some advice on some other bits but anyway... thought I'd introduce myself as I'm new on here. Currently drive an '02 EM2 Civic that I've put a bit of money into, but looking at buying a 300zx TT. Just something thats suitably cooler and faster of course. Always had a thing for Nissans... I think theres probably about 5 in my dream garage (for when I win the lottery :D). I'm pretty new to the whole z-car thing though so go easy on me for now! Live just outside York, dont know if there are any locals or nearby meetings or whatever. Thats about it for now...!

hi guys,i own a 91 300zx,twin turbo manual swb model with targa tops,full veilside kit,duck tail.spoiler,tints,coilovers,spilt rims,hope to get pics up soon,hope to get a 400 bhp rebuild done and get a custom built wide arch kit done and full respray.....ive owned this car for 6 years now..i think i let it down lol

Hi everyone, I was a member on here a good few years ago, I owned a flip red veilside kitted TT but sold it about 4 years ago and have only been on here the odd few times since, I now own a matt black and carbon wrapped TT which ive owned for the past 3 years and have decided it was time to be a paid up member again. looking forward to posting again and hopefully I wont be posting too many new threads in the "help and advice" section lol cheers Si

want to say hello :) i am a new member here , still i have owned a 300zx tt from 2006 , but currently sold it to my father in law. i am still the guy who is working on this car so i can consider myself a 300zx "owner" despite i have a skyline . well in short that's it !

Hi everyone, bought my first zx yesterday after years of looking. It's a lwb, non turbo as insurance on a TT was too expensive for me. Got it as a project. Leaving it off road for now as i'm still driving my astra coupe turbo, although that's no where near as exciting as the zx. Got a few ideas of what i wana do to it but need to do the basics first, new leather interior, replace speedo, respray spoiler etc. Any advice on styling or the best place to buy body and engine parts would be a big help. Looked on ebay for a front bumper but there doesn't seem to be much decent stuff on there.

just bought my first z last weekend and absolutely love it, even reclaimed my garage from wife & kids to stick it in

Ok its been four years since Ive owned a Z but looked at a 1989 import TT thats for sale today and its got my heart pumping like old times! Ive owned plenty of blown brands over the years but this would be my 3rd Z so guess Z`s are best!

Hi girls n guys! am new to the site.I just wanted to give you a little sneek peek of my Z32 i have been building for the last 10 years! No expense has been spared with this car. Full nut and bolt restore through out. She is currently being mapped at Rising sun performance in Winchester and has made an impressive 680 bhp at 1 bar of boost. They are going to push her to 1.8 bar, so cant wait for the results! I have just started doing carbon dipping for a job and plan to Carbon dip all interior parts throught out as soon as it back. Full spec and more pics to come soon!

HI everyone, just joined up reason being i've always wanted to own a 300zx and now i can afford one i would like to know what should i look for when buying one and what to avoid, which year should i buy ect. would be most helpful cheers guys.

New here, so we'll still be learning our way around. And I appreciate your site it is so great... Thanks for being here!

And by soon, I mean tomorrow! I'm going to be in the London/Luton area for the next week or so and it'd be awesome to find a z31/32 owner in the area to hang out with. Anyone in that area, hopefully checking this subforum in the next week?
