I was just running up a fluid order and noticed when setting up an account at Opie Oils that they list this club as one of their affiliates. I signed up and found a discount code (300ZX) posted here by Oilman and pleased to say it still works. Just wanted to flag this for other members as I had no idea.

As title - let's see your Spring 2023 Zed pics..... ......Pictures of your Zed which also highlight the season. Here's a few of mine from yesterday 🙂

Need my plenum and front water pipes redone as they have glazed over in the last 5 years. Now that my engine is done i need these fixed up quickly.

Hi folks, We have a club stand at the BHP show, near Maidstone, this coming bank holiday Monday - details in the thread below.... The club has paid to participate, which includes 5 entry tickets within the price. Our NEO, Tom (TheRealNips) is already going, so that leaves 4 tickets available. Entry on the door is £25; we paid the equivalent of £15 per ticket, so as a gesture to the first 4 (subscribed) members who would like to come along with their Zed, we will give you a free pass!! Yes, FREE - but if you enjoy the show, you might decide to make a discretionary donation to the club..... 😉

Evening, does anyone have information on the different series of Z32 that were released over its lifetime and what the differences were between the series?

I need to get a new washer fluid pump. Can anyone point me in the right direction to locate one please?

Up for sale near me and it's a nice one. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1936379150040795/

As per the title, are new front wings for the Z32 still readily available - genuine or pattern? The bottom parts of mine are rotting away merrily, a common issue I'm sure. Thanks - Andy

Is there anyone on the forum that has a workshop manual wiring diagram for a UK 300 ZX TT (1991). we cannot get the air-conditioning to switch on. We suspect that there is a broken wire somewhere between the dash console and pump. Thanks in advance for any help

Just found out if you put your reg in a Facebook search you might get some pictures of your car. Never seen these pics till I put my reg in!

Anyone recognise this scene....... 😉 ....And yes, it's just another poor excuse to post some Zed photos 😄

I am not too pleased with the garage that has just failed my Z not once but twice! 23 JAN 1st Fail Front track rod ends / rear offside HICAS ball joint With 3 advisories - Drivers seat belt anchorage/ rear nearside HICAS ball joint/ offside rear inner ball joint All nearside & offside HICAS ball joints & front track rod ends changed. Back for MOT not a re-test 30 MAR 2nd Fail! Parking brake efficiency below requirement! No mention of this in the last MOT advisories otherwise I could have got it done! They offered to do it, in 10 days time. Same tester Same garage that has done my past 7 MOTs Peed Off! Sorry rant over

1990 jdm tt, Car was smoking heavily, white maybe a slight hint of blue so replaced head gaskets, stem seals reseated valves but still smoking, its run for about 2 hours since idling to see if smoke would clear. Engines now out again and there is heavy carbon on the exhaust valves particularly 1 and 2, manifold Carboned, the oxygen sensor casting coated in thick sticky oil, and there is oil coating the test pipes. Turbo exhaust side was coated but has cleaned up and it was refurbished so I'm inclined to rule this out. It was all pointing to the new valve stem seals having failed or fitted incorrectly but on removal of valves they seem tight on the valve stem. There's…

Nice to see the Z32 gets a mention.

Plan to leaving about 10AM, We start our road trip down to Bristol from Troon, quick stop over at a bnb then drive back again tomorrow. Things we do for our zeds and our newly built engine by Jimmer at PowerZed.

Morning All Getting the windscreen replaced soon, and a couple of rust spots in the vicinity sorted. Is everything needed all standard stuff for Autoglass, or do they need to be aware of anything other than the blue tint as its a UK car

Could someone let me know what plugs i should have in my 1996 fairlady 300zx twin turbo completely standard.Have been told they should be ngk6B-11B.Car as a slight hesitancy at low speeds.And i believe the 11b plugs are slightly longer to alleviate this problem. Thanks

Newbie here, I just acquired a '96 with 17k miles. I drive her to work 3 days a week (15 miles a day). I drive a few miles on the weekends too sometimes. We live in Florida so no mud/snow. I am second-guessing this decision. Am I making a mistake driving it so regularly? I drive a Chevy 2500 beast truck when I have to drive longer distances/bad weather but it is not a fun ride. I hate to buy another third car because that seems wasteful. Opinions?

With spring here its getting near that time the cover comes off. Watch this thread for more. updates as my Z gets ready for 2023. My ownership since 2010.

Not that we need an excuse for posting Zed pictures - but after spending last weekend in Bath, my Zed was looking a little dirty when we got home..... ....So today, I gave it a nice wash, a coat of Graphene wax and a through interior clean, before returning the Zed to its garage once again 🙂

Hi, I wonder if anybody has a guide to the value of a '94 300ZX Z32 Fairlady TT Targa fitted with a Strosek wide arch body kit? The car was modified in 2001/2 with the body kit, and a number of other modifications (UK headlights, UK radiator, HKS Intercoolers, Bilstein suspension, Azev A wheels, JWT ECU, +++). Low mileage. It has just been put back on the road and MoT'd. Fyi, I'm not planning to sell it.

I have recently been working on a design for cupholders for our cars and am ready to start selling these now through Etsy/Instagram/Facebook but was thinking about perhaps giving a discount to members here. Custom designs will be welcomed, but would attract extra fees, depending on your specification. As these things go, I have ended up taking an early order from someone before making my own (which I intended to mount my Racelogic into, in place of USB feeds). This person asked for the Z logo in white inside the cup. This example also includes USB A & C charging and a USB 3.0 passthrough, which will provide a nice outlet for any aftermarket headunits with their …

I’m after a seat base for a Fairlady 300 ZX Targa coupe in any condition, actually I’m after the mechanics under it so the cloth material doesn’t even need to be present. It’s the type that has two big knobs next to each other on the side of the base that can lift/tilt the seat base at the front or back. Just wondered if any member may have something somewhere?! I can collect so no need to worry about posting.

Hi There! I have a full unorthodox Lightweight Pulley set up on my zed. I've noticed on the Power Steering Pully the belt keeps jumping over a notch. I've had this seen to on numerous occasions but it keeps happening. This type of pulley doesn't have "shoulders" to prevent this occurring. Do you think it's the pulley itself or something more sinister? the mechanic at the time who put the belt back on (after my water pump went) said there's a bit of play in the pump itself that could be causing the belt to jump...should there be play in the pump? I thinking about replacing the pulley with one with increased shoulder height but was wondering whether i'd need a new…

A two parts interview in which Toshio Yamashita goes through the design and development history of the Z32.
