Hi, im new to the forum, looking at purchsing a 300zx, however i have one slightly odd question(i am sure i will have more normal ones later), in a 2+2 model, do the seats fold down, and could you get a bicycle in the back??

Hi, I'm new to 300zx's I've had a couple of GTO's but decided to come over to the Z side. Just wondering if anyone has any information about the ZX i've just bought. Also any tips for a new owner greatly appreciated. Its still on ebay as a completed item. Number 110374208674 Thanks in advance. Ian

Hello everyone, Just recently bought my first zed and cant believe I waited so long to get one. My brother has had it for the previous 4 and a half years in which it has been mainly garaged and has done around 2k miles in that time. Being a nice brother he agreed to sell it to me for next to nothing, great bargain especially considering it has only just got over 50k on it. Considering it has just been sat still for 6 months it had attracted its fair share of dirt, after a mammoth 7 hour cleaning session this is what she turned out like More pics can be seen here too My Cleaning Day

newbie from southampton here, been through loads of jap cars in my time, ef civic vt's, ek9 typer, R33 gtst , celica gt4 etc. then came the house, away went the jap, along came a golf. well now that my finances are settling ive made a list of cars i would like for a weknd/summer/mess around car and 300zx TT manual ticks all the boxes. so theres a story for you.:D so my first newbie question, are these guys any good? http://dealerservices.autotrader.co.uk/28997/crestcars.htm Oh, and as you may have guessed, i havent got a ZX yet, but should have money after me and missus go to spain:x:

do i come back as a newbie:hyper:

My name is Baz and I'm from Lincoln... Recently bought my 3rd 300zx TT, this one is a bit of a project that cost me very little but I'm determined to get sorted, turned around and back on the road, and hopefully one that will stand out. My first Z was a UK manual TT, then I had a black import TT manual Z after that, now belongs to Z32: now I have another import manual TT, but its a bit of a meccano kit at the mo. Does anyone know the car? got an interesting plate on: She's a bit rough round the edges but will be going for paint soon... pulled the old knackered engine out on saturday afternoon so just gathering parts to drop…

Hey everyone, how's it going? I'm T.J. and I'm new to the board. I'm from the States, but was referred by a friend to the board, and I hope I can pick up some good info while I'm here. I also would love to own an RHD 300ZX one of these days, thought this may be a good place to look when I'm ready. This is my 1991 300ZX 2+2 See ya on the board :cool:

Hi to all, new to the Z cars but got a 300zx import and looking forward to the summer ( If we get one) lol Can anyone tell me, after reading some post on oil it sounds as if it is recommended to use a genuine nissan filter, will a UK filter be the same and fit my import ??? many thanks andy

Just brought myself a Jap import fairlady .Not had chance to read the posts on here. looking forward to find out as much as I can on my zed/ I do have a question the car as a thatcham cat 1 alarm fitted but no paperwork anybody know of somewhere local I can get it checked out and a certificate issued for it for my insurance company.

I'm wanting an early 90s Jap crazy motor - I think the 300zx is the best of them! **EDITED** Registered users are NOT permitted to sell on this forum, please subscribe if you wish to do so.

Hey guys, I joined this site a long time ago just to look at the lovely images. Im new to zeds but ive always loved them. I think there one of the best looking cars around, I dont know about the mechanics of them though, but im sure theyre excellent seing as theyre japanese. Im at uni now with an E30 and a R5 turbo, and i want another toy :D But, this is the problem im having, i cant get reasonable quotes. Im 21 btw. Also, are there such things as TT SWB manuals, because if there are they seem to be rediculously rare. Mark

Hello, oldish dude from market harborough here activley researching a z purchase, cash burning a hole, looking for a car with a history of proven care, not a uk model made that mistake with an mx5 for her indoors, seems to be a wide margin in price for similar cars, any advice gratefully recieved.

Hey people, I joined quite some time ago due to some friends telling me about this place but never really got the chance to actually check this place out. But today I thought I'd give it some of my time and subscribed here too. Just like all of you I too have deep love for the almight Z and have been involved with the Z series since the 240Z. Up until today I've own 39 Zs which have included all models e.g. 240z, 260z, 280z, 280zx, 300zx 31 and now my baby Z32. I don't actually remember ever being Zedless. Being a mechanic myself and having worked on many Zs I thought I too would share my knowledge of these cars with you people. I can always help you people with your Z …

Hi all, I'm Jazz and my daily driver is a Honda Accord Type R. I'm really loving the 300ZX's at the moment, so much car for reasonably little outlay these days, and I'm looking to get one as a weekend toy in time for summer, they're old-school cool IMO.. :) It will certainly be a Twin-Turbo model preferably manual, I'm also a keen tuning enthusiast so I'll be looking at the different ways to crank that power up (safely and reliably). And if I can get one with a Targa top thats a bonus! So hope you won't mind having a Honda driver snooping around these parts in the name of research and learning about this rare and wonderful model, and hopefully by May/June …

Bit of a late hello for me here, been registered here since 2005, when I was originally looking at the FAQ's et cetera when looking to get a Zed back then, which I didn't in the end. Been driving a Mk2 MR2 (don't hurt me :P ) around since then, which despite its' apparent "hairdresser" label, and lack of turbo, is a fantastically fun car. But I want more! XD So now the time has come, and I'm seriously looking around for my first Zed, wanted one of these for years and it's only now that I feel I can afford one, and that my driving skills have improved enough to attempt to tame one without it killing me too often :P Thanks already to those of you who've answe…

Hi everyone, i am just looking/about to buy my first 300zx which is also my first boosted car..cant wait! I will post up pics as soon as i get her, hopefully soon as...! Its also my first non-Ford, as every car i have owned so far has been Ford from Fiesta through to my current car the Mondeo ST24, always loved/wanted a jap car just never been able to have one, but after a big crash last year i can now afford it! Hope to speak to you all on here, and will love to come to some meets when she arrives! See you around

Hi does anyone know of a good garage in or near portsmouth for reliable service and general looking after my newly purchased z non turbo standard condition in white
