Mac Can you please add this pic to my signature. I haven't got a fookin clue how to do it Cheers

Now you were the one that started all this red Z is the fastest so why the fookin hell have you bought a blue one? :xxx: :xxx: :xxx: :xxx: :xxx: :xxx: You know blue is about the slowest out there LOL PS was your hand brake stuck on or did you run out of fuel and park up? You should know more than anyone DONT try and race a red Z :nono: PS on a serious note you got a bargain IMHO

Got a mate with a Mazda RX-8. It's a nice car, but what's with the fake-metal plastic trim all over the interior (it's a kind of grey silver color)? It's even down the sides of the centre console transmission tunnel. Why do they do this? It really spoils the car, which otherwise is very nice. Why not just use real metal? It'd look ten times better.

10 Z32s of various types in California (mainly LA) 4 Z31s in LA 2 Z32s in Texas After other comments I really wasn't expecting to see that many, but the ones in Texas were a real surprise. I'm not so sure about the whole tan interior thing though... seems to be quite common on American cars. The hire car some of my colleagues had was a Ford Taurus with a tan interior and the centre console / stereo highlighted in... matt black... mmm, nice. Honestly it looked awful; who on earth do they get to design these things?!?

say if you pay 3k for a mr2 in japan how much on top is it to ship it and have that esva test done? o and the customs tax thingy?

im lookin to buy a 300zx im only 21 so i have to watch the insurance but basicly here are my insurance quotes so far (for a 92 spec) 300zx non-turbo (uk manual) £1085 300zx turbo (uk manul) £1100 (can u get single turb or do they mean twin?) 300zx twin turbo (import) £2152 is it worth me paying all that extra money for the import twin turbo or will a non turbo or a single tubo b fast still ......what bhp`s are they so i can compair ?? anything i should look out 4 or avoid when buying a car like this ... thanx

but people keep saying stop talking about your damn car!!!!!!! . i think they are mad why shouldn't i hehe :)

I thought this might be quite fun to mess around with. Does it actually work? How does it get RPMs etc from the cigarette lighter? Is it in any way accurate? http://www.gtechpro.com/ss.html

As above, does someone recognize the alloys on this picture? Would be nice to see a better quality picture of them. :)

Does anyone know whats going on with SE Nissan / Nisstek (AKA Silvia Engineering)? Peter and his team have done loads of work on my 300 and I was trying to call them on 01621 85 88 56 for some more but the number is not in use. There is nothing on Yell or in the BT book, any news?

they are more prononced in males than females(male is in picture), this should be the best way to check as most visible. this shows the usual size differance

:dance: I looove these!!! Thanks everyone for helping me make the right decision :)

Sweet !! Ryans (ztech ) done a top notch job getting the car sprayed up and kit fitted ..looks stunning!!

Cant wait to get her run and an boost upped . Heres a few pics , will get some better ones soon,when someonewith a better camera takes em lol..once again though cheers Ryan and id recommend ztech to anyone !!!

A friend of my g/f's saw my Z a few weeks ago, and said it was... wait for it... A BOY RACER CAR :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: no matter how much i try and explain the difference, she thinks the 300ZX is a boy racer car. your opinions please as I'm going to show her this thread... ;)

Hi All :dance: I was reading this review: http://www.hardrive.com/reviews/300ZX.htm I noticed this bit: The passenger seat flips forward to reveal a hidden storage compartment, home to all of the manuals and such. Also back there is a mysterious velcro closure that opens to reveal some car structure. I have no idea what that's for. I nipped out and can not find either. Surely, he is not talking about the map pocket and the front passenger well????? What do you guys think :confused: :confused: :rolleyes:

6 weeks 5 days till my insurance up for renewal and I aim to have a 300zx sitting outside in 6 weeks 6 days ;) Not been seriously looking yet as I cant afford to insure till my next NCB and if I look too much now I'll end up buying one ;) Ones I've been looking at are arround £3k mark, whats chances of picking up a semi-decent one for that price? not after a mint condition but something that wont cost a few hundred quid a week to repair & with turbo's that wont blow up in a few months time. Also whats chances of getting a TT manual? dont really fancy auto tbh but as I will be selling current car before getting the Z I dont want to be waiting too long fo…
