Newbies - let yourselves be known

Hi all, I'm hopefully joining the ZX fold soon; Had a supra TT a while ago now and after driving around with a third/half the power, I think it's time I got back into something Jap and Turbo! Decided to give the zx a try as I've loved em since I was lil' and can afford the insurance now! anyway, hopefully I'll spend a while here, been scouring the site for info for a while now and it's been very helpful!

Hi all, I have a Blitz sbc boost controller fitted, and it seems to work. I am told there is a scramble feature on it. Q1 : What is a scramble feature? Q2 : How do I find, and use it? And....... My reverse light no longer work, them that know tell me I need a new wireing harness from the g/box (manual) to the r/h/f wing. Q3 : Where can I find one of these? It's a Z32 TT manual and if I ever grow up, I'll still love it. Any help would be great. Cheers.

Hi all, Absolutely delighted to join the community after getting my 300ZX on 29/06/09. In love with the Z ever since it was announced in 1989 and finally allowed my heart to reign my head. 300ZX NA TARGA MANUAL in pearlescent white. I would have attached some photos but not sure how to do that. Regards, Pervez

Howdy, names Martin, from Cork in Ireland, but moved to Christchurch in New Zealand just last month. Just bought a 300ZX NA, looking at them for a while and while I wanted a TT the funds didnt allow it. Loved them for ages, think the looks are pure 90's Jap supercar. And even though she's na and auto (yes I know auto :)) I couldnt pass her up. Bit of minor bodywork to be done but the interior is spotless and the engine bay is clean and runs nicely. Not used to driving RWD 3.0L cars as I have an FTO GPX in Ireland, even though the horsepower is similar the RWD does make a difference when used to FWD! I have a pure newbie question, while I know my other car inside out…

Hi all, The dreaded bay meant I was slightly misled :headvswal (to be fair the owner didn't know there was a single turbo version!) and ended up buying an ex japanese stripped out single turbo with adjustable Recaros - for not many euros at all :) It stinks of cat pee and needs the earth strap replacing to the bulkhead - but runs fine and sounds incredible. I'll be tearing up a track soon and wanted to know if I should look for upgrades or just run it to death as is - then get a 'proper' twin turbo to replace it. what is the general opinion on the MK1? Ideas for upgrade/improvement with track use in mind? Not afraid to get dirty - rebuild my old cars as…

Hi, my name's Al just bought my first Zed. Its a TT auto (wanted a manual but im sure itll do just fine). I live in Newcastle upon tyne and was wondering if anyone knows a garage i can trust, was going to take it to my local nissan but i think it would be better somewhere that looks at these more often any advice would be excellent. I am competent to do most work myself i just want a full diagnostics all systems checked and a timing belt change:bow:

Hi everyone, Bit of a long story, but I'll try to keep it short! I have a car for work and have another car for the weekends. This is my introduction, from about 3 years worth of changes! I've always loved the feel of acceleration, and ended up having an MR2 turbo (sorry). Looked ok as far as they can, but at the end of the day, I felt like a complete mincer being seen in it and telling people what I drove. It was about 2005/2006 and it was time for a change, everyone had skylines or poopras and I wanted something different and loved the look of the Zed. Never driven one before and thought I'd lose that feeling that the MR2 gave as the Zed was bigger and he…

Hi all,just sold Mk4 supra tt,looking for an auto 300zx n/a. Hope to spend a good few years here.:)

Hello again, I say again as I joined this site just over 2 years ago when I was thinking of buying A 300 then. In the end I bought a Celica GT4 ST205 which is now over 300bhp, trouble is I want more power and it's just not worth the money to get it IMO so I think it's time to Upgrade :D I've had a look through the buyers guide etc and I'm going round taking cars for drives ATM just to get a feel for the good ones from the bad ones so to speak. Got to sell my four yet but I'm in no rush so thought I'd start hanging out here and learn a bit about the car I'm planning to buy. I'm after a SWB TT manual Targa, which as far as I can work out are rare as hens teeth, bu…

Hiya All Just wanted to say before i get going that I don't own a 300zx as yet :shock: I currently own a Prelude 2.2 vtec, but can't wait to sell trade it in for a Z. I went up to Crest Cars in High Wycombe, to see a few examples. It was mostly a quick lesson in what to avoid when buying a car: 1.The address given for the "garage" on the website was actually the meeting place that the dealer uses - we met him there and followed him half a mile down the road to a house with a garden full of old jap cars. Hmmmm. 2. Nick spotted an oil-leak straight away coming from the left side of the engine bay 3. The boost gauge either didn't work or it was te…

hi new member here, new owner of a tired 300zx, taking it on as a bit of project, and what a project it will be as the auto box has already gone :p

Hi all been a member of the forum for a while now but just getting around to rebuilding the z I got as salvage, lady driver and flood water. car details are its standard apart from the 17" Rays volk split rims and stainless sports exhaust, hope to get the new engine fitted soon but not before JAE but will be there anyhow with the Toyota Sera club, my dear lady and I have a collection of jdm imports 2 sera's, a FTO gpx mivec and of course the Zd. will post seemingly daft questions as we go and hope to be on the road soon. please excuse any daft or repeated questions but as they say if you don't ask!!! oh and for anyone passing the sera stand mines the pink sera …

Hi all. I currently drive a Celica ST202 (Gen 6) and before that had a ST185 (Gen 5 GT4) and am after something different and have fell in love with 300zxs. Been looking around pistonheads etc and seem to find myself drawn to fairladys. What is the difference with these and non fairladys? Also what is SWB? Basically im just after a guide to the different models and special editions etc. All advice gratefully received. If I had to say what I was after then id have to say a manual, UK preferable and non turbo. But could be persuaded :)

hey guys. been on the forum a few times but never really posted anything so i decided i would start. im from melbourne (australia) have a 300zx n/a. mods list is to big but the main ones : - full respray in KH2 gunmetal, 4 coats of black pearl. - 19" gmax defiant wheels. (265 on rear) - 2k spec tail lights (not in these photos) - only in 3 - tein HR coilovers - cusco strut brace the car is only really at 80% completed. still full engine work to be done as well as exhaust etc. but on to the photos. hope you love her as much as i do :cool: the friday before 2k spec tail lights and tech day happened…

Yo ZedFreaks I just bought Zed and I need help. I'm looking for the car manual to download ( torrent), maybe somebody know where can I find it. Thank You.

hey mate come up and take a bow!:rofl: dan.:)

Scouring some ads again as I have been for years now and ZX's seem to vary quite a lot in terms of prices. Traders seem to be offering some models cheap and again so do Private owners....and then again similar age/spec models are being sold for much greater amounts by both parties again. Of course I'm aware it maybe down to quality/service history etc etc etc......it's just setting a bench mark for a decent model which is the key thing to me. I've been into Jap cars for a long time now and have owned many models across the range but quite fancy a ZX tt now. I have looked for models over the years but have always gone for a more constrained option. Now I can …
