General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Picked up a new 1993 'K' NA manual in Blue last Thursday. Saw it on a forecourt in Swansea where my mate picked up his Audi from so decided to buy it! I decided to try an NA after my 1989 TT kept breaking on me so I was Zed'less for a few years. I must say, I really like the NA. It's put just as much of a smile on my face as my TT and it drives loverly! I also think the midnight blue colour is awesome so I'm very happy. However, it's in the garage already as the radiator connection broke driving it back from the garage on thurs so I've only driven it for an hour max. I also appear to have a fuel leak as I can smell petrol but hopefully it should all get sorted this aftern…

I personally love it, it'd be gorgeous in black :D :D Got a hint of the new Jag XK about it, apparently this is what all the new fords will be based on.

speeding is one thing, but as the advert says, "its 30 for a reason" http://www.metacafe.com/watch/94641/30_wont_kill_you/ good video, hopefully will make some of us think about how fast we drive...

7 weeks ago, i had an accident in work, which did a lot of damage to my elbow and mainly my ulnar nerve (this is your funny bone) i've now lost the feeling in 2 fingers, and starting to get muscle wasteage from the damage, so ive not been back to work since. went today for my hospital appointment, where they have said they are rushing me through for nerve conductive studies, and until i have them, they did this to me.... you cant really see very well, but the plaster is illumnious bloody yellow

as above ;)

how do you know when the zed is really running as fast as it should be? I have never driven anyone elses so im curious if its really as fast as its meant to be

aka project "death wish" :D

Peugeot 907(v12) I've gotta get me one of these :

spent all weekend moving & getting bits done but finally in my new house in Canterbury :hyper: feels nice to be in a home of my own again :cool:

Bubbles i've run into a problem with regards to selling my little car. I've done a few jobs on it :hyper: But oh no just when everything was looking good the iron wrongt gate got caught by the wind, result deep scratches on the nearside door. Have T-cut it but the deeper ones need sorting. Do you know anyone local who can spray them out before I sell it. Someone said they thought there was a chap in Bagshot behind Hall Grove School. Is this true and is he any good do you know? Thanks

Was this on sunday just gone, or starts this sunday coming?

Just for 2 seconds was one shown in a report about recycling/polution etc :x: Was a dark metalic grey with 3 spoke alloys. :hyper:

A couple of pics of my Zed. Totally standard. Even got the original stereo in the dash :) The only things that I would like to do in the near future is replace the ariel as it does not go all the way down and to find the part that fits under the stereo. The person who owned it before me, put in an MP3 player.

from my holiday!! Its good to be back and drive the love of my life! (um, my car that is!) :p holiday was great... only saw 1 Z whilst i was over there.. :hyper: Hows things been.,..... hey did that hampshire meet ever take place ??

Hey everyone! as you can see i just registered. Well i currently own a 1995 Camaro Z28 with the LT1 350ci engine. I love the car. But since I was little I have always loved the 300zx's with a passion (Z32's). And so im thinking of getting one. where i live my camaro is worth about the same as a z32 tt. but what i want to know is just some general stuff about the cars. like the body. what parts are plastic, fiberglass, metal etc. just so i know what parts to look for rust when i go hunting for one. as well are there ne issues with the factory turbos going bad? so yeah just give me some general info on the cars, cause i don't know much about them yet. thanx!
