Yes, a number of folks know and I'm shite at keeping schtum about work being done to my Z. In an ever increasing quest to have the cleanest Z I could possibly create, I have become more and more fussy with how things look resulting in me going back to a more original look. So over the past few months I have been buying up more and more original new OEM parts; dispensing with my 2-din Z Thirty Two fascia and replacing it with a brand new OEM one were the first steps, a rare DIN cubby with door from Richard Smith, all new centre console plastics, re-foaming the seats, all sorts of other things and many brand new exterior pieces. Spurred on from JP's awesome exampl…

MeisterR made a lot of changes in 2016, and I am sure many of our members have done a lot to their car also. We want to get some fresh update for 2017, and we want to see what members have to say about their MeisterR coilovers. We would like some pictures (with a MeisterR sticker preferred :) ) for our gallery and reviews of the coilovers from members who have used them, both new and old. It would also be easier to have everything under a single thread to aid members doing their own research. So if you have pictures of your car on MeisterR coilovers, please post them and write a short review of what you think of them. 1. Name: (If you want to provide it…

As we know, parts are being discontinued at an alarming rate for these cars; many trim and plastic components that were available 6 months ago are now no longer available. Things like the plastic trim that sits on the outside of the door pillar for example are not available at all through Nissan USA however strangely one side is still available from Nissan Japan. I am buying up brand new OEM parts as quickly as I can when I replace them. I was extremely lucky with my brand new OEM rear spoiler for example and new headlights (granted the headlights were bought from someone who'd bought them new 10 years ago and never fitted them), but things are getting tough now, esp…

Looking really good JP :thumbup1: Looking forward to the feature.

First up I could do with some advice from experience... Any tips on how to remove and replace the nut on the underside of the area circled in red? Spent about 30 minutes at it last night with various tools but I couldn't really get anything on it, even with the assembly fully lifted.

Ok so my digital clock kept working and not for some time and now its finally dead, Bought another and that's dead I seem to remember years ago reading about dry solder and it was a simple fix, sure there was a how to but cannot find anything ??

Hi all, Having removed my side skirts turns out my outer sills are completely rotten :thumbdown: Is there anywhere else other than zcentre to get replacement ones? Also part of the floor near the rear sill edge is holed & rotten any recommendations for who's the best man for job of replacing the sills & doing the welding for me as it's one thing I can't do & don't want to even attempt! Cheers James

It packs some punch that's for sure

Hi Guys, 2 points 1 Which pistons are serviced by which spark plug/that long black thing that does the electrics,(see what i mean, my brain has gone) What i mean is , if you are standing in front of the car looking at the engine you have 3 cylinders on the left etc..., at angles both on the left and right are the spark plugs and , i remember ! Coil packs (phew!) but does the , for instance, first plug/pack on the passenger side (your right) fire up the front left or right cylinder. Without ever stripping one down or being able to find some piccys, i'm finding it hard to work out in my head. Because it goes between the inlets on the other side, in my mind, the on…

Hi All, Just got back from picking this one up with my brother, new member on the way chaps...... drove it straight back to Brum!

Is the club doing japfest this year?

Just back from MOT station, Zebedee passed no advisories woop woop. Celebratory wash and wax tomorrow weather permitting.

Has anybody else experienced the z as a magnet ? I've had 3 people in 2 weeks come up to me saying they own one of these. Each one has said they are sat in the garage and hasn't run in years. Met a guy today called Peter from Cardiff, who has 3.1 forged motor in his and has been sat in the garage since 2005 , he took it off the road because of a Knock sensor fault . The car sounds like it had a lot of mods done to it, I offered to buy it without seeing it ha ha . I've now pointed him in Jimmers direction as he wants it recommissioned and didn't know where to take it .

Having brought a Oem rear spoiler last year from a club member I have come to fit to find the studs are rusted and won't bolt through the boot of the car, any advice on best way to fit it or is it scrap? Can it be bonded? Should this be done before or after spraying the car?

Bought a Z!! Picked it up today. Some may have seen this on ebay last week, manual / na, bit of a project but looks solid and sounds like its running well. I've pointed him in this direction so I'm sure he'll soon come on and introduce himself. I'm just buzzing that theres another so local:)

Has anybody looked at doing this?. Wiring wise its simple, however unsure as to what donor mirror may fit into the 300 ZX standard fitting, Thoughts ??

OK guys so carrying on from the discussions in another thread its clear that a few people are interested in buying a set of Carbon Scuttles. From initial discussions with the manufacturer we would need at least 5 sets to make this viable, cost per set is circa £200-£220. These will be "All Carbon Fibre" unlike others that are fibreglass with a carbon top face. So if you would like to maybe participate in a group buy please register your interest and we will build a list. I will then get the ball rolling as and when enough people have signed up. I have a pair of very good condition OEM scuttles that will be used to take the mold from so they should fit very nicel…

I need a full set of mats for my fair lady, I think in black and don't mined paying for some good ones:) where should I look?

The thread "What did you do to you zed today" http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?168270-What-did-you-do-to-your-zed-today/page408 will be closing tonight so members can create their own thread on what they have done.

This is a trial closure to see how it works and any comments are welcome on this thread.

I'm looking to remove the dull green look of the dash. Has anyone got a link for new dials and bulbs to do this. Thinking I'd like to go red or white.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
