General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Right,first no taking the proverbial!-but due to me doing what I done,i.e.the engine swap,was thinking if there could be a 'market' for it? Now I use the term loosely-what I mean to say,if I were to start at home doing the conversion,would: A-I get enough work! B-It be viable financially,ie, length of time etc. I suppose it would all boil down to level of interest,but I know I would actually enjoy doing it,plus making a living? I dunno! :rolleyes: -what's the genaral reaction.....(wait for it!) :wack:

Yes, you heard it first here! I am now Zedless and have a part campervan converted 400,000 mile Merc Sprinter van! :bow: Pictures to follow. :) Get my Zed back on Sunday.....cheers Jason for the loan of the Van, much appreciated. :duffer:

Right so it's in having a main seal replaced and PCV valves/hoses done as well. All stems from a problem I had about a month after I bought the car. Dip stick blew out and sprayed oil everywhere when on hard boost for quite a bit of time. After that the main seal failed as well. Thinking it was breather related, I replaced one PCV valve...couldn't get the other fitted because I'm crap, anyway, dip stick stays in situ, it's not the tightest of fit, but none the less, it stays where it is. Engine still runs very very well and is as smooth as it's ever been. Haven't driven the car a huge amount, car constantly stinks of oil due to the main seal and leaky/hard PCV p…

Pm me please mate

I don't usually recommend traders or suppliers as inevitably it all goes tits-up the next time, but ................. I just had my standard ZX wheels completely reconditioned by Wicked Wheels and they have done a FANTASTIC job. They truly look better than new. They have a website, imaginatively named Wickedwheels.co.uk ...and don't Toyo Proxes slide around when they are brand new? And they take an age to get up to proper grip levels in the (very) cold. Really good though when they cut through to the real meat and get warmed up . BD

Cylinder 1 - 170 PSI Cylinder 2 - 162 PSI Cylinder 3 - 168 PSI Cylinder 4 - 164 PSI Cylinder 5 - 168 PSI Cylinder 6 - 165 PSI My engine is completely stock and i will keep it this way. I have 2 x TD-05 18G's on order and i will fit them up and see what hp numbers i will get. We have a set of Greddy manifolds that we will try to replicate and 850cc injectors on the way.

And been shopping at Demon Tweeks. Just the fibreglass parts to arrive, which should be with me next week. Car dropped off with Phil at C and S Wood for a few bits, then its down to the bodywork shop Monday.

Insurance contacted me today, regarding my damaged Zed. The deal offered was; Category "D" write off, Get to keep the car, Amount of cash, minus salvage and Excess = £2,200. What do you think ?? Alan......

Come on guys post your piccies :D

Has anyone ever put a flamer exhaust kit on a car before? Are they as good as they say (up to 6ft flame) or do u just get a short burst, ive been looking at the one below: Fire Dragon Exhaust Flamer, (cant get a link to the website) or is it just a stupid idea?

I was experimenting with Photoshop and i created some fancy colours for our cars. Some they look good, some dont. My personal opinion is that the darker the colour for the Z the better it looks.

i know that when the bosses say to the design team "we need a new sports car" that they get lots of different ideas (sketches) so i was wondering if anone had any pics or descriptions of what the zed could have looked like just being curious Thanks Allan

I am 99.9% sure now... gonna register on this forum http://www.noswizard.com/bboard/ yes it sponcered by the same people who supply and fit the kits. but its free... and they claim they have fitted nos to several 300's ... so anyone with this kit speak up.. anyway... they are very clued up.. and stated as well they will NOT fit a dry kit... as it can damnage the engine.. and were shocked it wasnt common on the forum... dont know if this is a chance to get a few together for a group buy and have them set up or not.. but here it goes...
