Good day all, As you know, we have been exhibiting at the NEC classic motor show every year since 2014 (covid aside) - and once again, we have been fortunate to get offered a club stand this year. The show takes place Friday November 13th to Sunday November 15th inclusive - so your car would have to be on the stand from Thursday 12th until the show closes around 5pm Sunday evening. Details of the show are here Classic Motor Show | The UK's Premier Classic Motor Event Our stand is in hall 5, number 5-720 - approx. 8 x 7m, large enough for three cars. So, I'm looking for volunteers - three cars please - plus your good selves to man the stand for the duration.... This is a g…

Sad day today as my first zed i ever owned was towed away to a breakers yard. This was a 1991 NA which i originally purchased over 17 years ago, but unfortunately wasn't economic to repair due to excessive rust.

Going to start this thread for members to post up what they did each day to there zed. I will start with getting my MOT this morning. So what did you do today on your 300?:cool3:

Just wondering what we have in prep for the club stand this year ? I'm driving down on the 11th with my Truck and zed on a Trailer and thought it would be good to start planning. Do we have things like carpets or barrier available, who has the flags and banners ?

Can anyone help me with the following? Z31 analog dashboard I need a fuel sensor for a Z 31 The Electrician has said mine has been repaired before my fuel gauge is not working Based in the UK, if anyone can help that would be great. Would like to try and get something ASAP.

One more job ticked off. Leather Interior refresh - before.

Hi, Looking for people with experience using FUCHS TITAN RACE PRO R 10W-40 Semi Synthetic Ester Based Engine Oil and if it's recommended and any good for the Z? Thanks!

Hey Guys I just bought a 96' NA 2+2 300ZX. The chassis has 136k on it but the original motor was seized and the car came with a "new low milage motor" to put in it. I am trying to do all the preventative maintenance I can to it before I install it. ie all of the oil seals, timing belt kit, coolant hoses, vacuum lines, and ignition. Is there anything else I should look for or replace before I start putting things together. Thanks all.

Hi all, Ive posted something along the same lines ages ago but I am completely stuck. 1990 300zx na I have rusty rear sills that need to be fixed along with some minor rust underbody. I have sourced stamped replacement parts for the rear sills. I need my ebrake replaced including the cables. Have the full replacement kit from concepts But for the life of me, I cannot find any place that will touch it with a 10 foot pole. I even have the centre console out to make life easier but every place might as well hang up on me when I tell the vehicle. Based in Wicklow. I'm not looking for an immediate 2 day fix, if it needs to be a side project for a shop for a few weeks th…

Hi! Not sure if I'm correct here, just joined the group. A solid 2 months ago I bought a lovely 1997 300ZX Z32 in a beautiful purple color. It's been a great car so far and I love it with all my soul as it's the first sports car I've owned since I am only 20 🤣 I did encounter a problem yesterday after work though. My front windshield wipers always worked with no problem, showing no signs of giving up. Then, on my way home from work, as I turned them on in the rain, they swiped once and then stopped working. I pulled over to check if turning the car on and off would solve it, which it didn't. I was able to freely move them around but as soon as they reached the top positio…

I have had the odd running issue with my Zed the last couple of months - an intermittent miss-fire when cold, sticky throttle after a long fast run, and the speed sensor failed again last week after trying Jeff's old epoxy resin fix a while back..... ....So I did what we advise everyone else to do and called Jimmer. Jim recommended the full engine loom replacement, new ethanol friendly injectors, ERG delete, new rocker cover gaskets and a plenum tart-up with new bolts etc., to improve the engine bay appearance! So I dropped the car at Powerzed on Monday morning and Jim sent me the first progress pictures today! And while it's there he'll be fitting a few other new parts, …

Hey so I'll make this short. A year ago I bought a sight on scene 300zx for about 6k on ebay, the seller only had 2 sales. Now you're thinking "wow, nice shitbox" thank you! I know I'm so proud, but here's where it gets really confusing.... Inside the glovebox was a some papers from a place called outlaw customs ltd Now when I first got the car I thought I'd give them a call, it rang but no answer. I tried multiple times on both numbers but no answer. I later found out the company has dissolved. I'm essentially putting some feelers out because I have no idea who owned the car, I have an idea that a Mike built it, but no way of contacting either. The car had been sat fo…

The Goodwood Youtube channel have posted a vid around the 300ZX IMSA car's appearance at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdeHAT-6U0U

New retro remote has arrived, been wanting a new fob for a long time and finally found one. Just needs programmed for my zed which i hopefully can do.

Hi everyone I'm in need of some help I've bought a 91 TT and the boost and vac lines aren't in the correct place it's had the plenum water pipe delete and the egr delete it's also got dump valves has anybody got any pics or a diagram of where they should go any help appreciated

As many of us have found, it’s nigh on impossible to find a decent, working Z32 aircon compressor these days, and reconditioning is one of the few available options. However, a guy from LOJ Conversions in the US has been using 350Z compressors (with a small modification) to replace the Z32 unit. See 17:30 in the following YouTube vid: https://youtu.be/09Fd7OmRPs4?is=Kkr0357GfyvXsu4H Certainly food for thought as they’re not making any more of ‘em! Cheers Steve 😊

I have just replaced my old rad with a japspeed rad. I need new top rad brackets as the old ones do not fit, does any one know where in uk I can get? Many thank Art

It failed on 2 things - welding on two areas - this has been done ✔️ The MOT tester failed it on power steering hose/pipe leaking ! On my inspection - no power steering leak!, My zed is an auto to manual change - I have the old rad in place with plastic sides. They are prone to cracking over time & this was a water leak not a power steering leak. New all alloy rad obtained from Japspeed New tyres & brake pads all round are going on whilst waiting for my windscreen

I contacted Autoglass on the 5 July & gave me the earliest appointment 22 July! As I am out of the country till the 26th I contacted Autoglass the day before with the apprehension of them not having sourced a windscreen? They told me it will be approximately 16 weeks for them to replace it . I thought optimistically 6 weeks🙄
