I'm off to the states on holiday shortly so was thinking of squeezing some goodies in my luggage, anybody brought home bits and have you encountered any probs in customs

I’ve only got the red spare key with the car so I ordered a new 300zx black master from Amayama (KEY0000095). Took it to my local key cutter and it’s the wrong key apparently! It does look slightly different to be fair. So first question, are there more than one master key? Does anyone know the part number? Mines a 1993 JDM. And the the one above is available if anyone wants, it cost me about £13 so happy to sell for that plus postage. Second question, I’m also going to order a nice titanium one and would like to get it cut off the original spec, research shows that a sticker in the glovebox has the code, mine has long gone, but my red key has a 4 digit cod…

Anyone got the Z abuse hotline number?

Whilst at the Chiltern Hills Rally yesterday (more on that shortly....), I was looking around a trade stand that sold garage signs, on the remote chance they would have a 300zx one...... ......To my surprise, they did - for £20! The only one I found, by lucky coincidence, happened to feature a blue Zed. Whilst waiting for the card machine to connect, the seller and I got chatting and he joked about charging me double because my Zed was the same colour....... Then upon looking closer, I spotted the featured Zed had the same wheels as mine. And the same Stillen front lip - and then, I noticed it sported the very same two stickers I have in my windscreen. It was a …

Hi all. Wanted to pick your guys brains to see if anyone can remember who made these old OEM replica spoilers? This photo is of my first zed that I owned from 2015-2017 and it already had an aftermarket fibreglass OEM replica spoiler fitted. For me, it was ideal. It had a very subtle “flick” or duck tail effect and stuck out just the right amount in proportion to the OEM rear bumper. I’d love another, but don’t know where to look. Anyone recall them? Thanks Brett

Long shot but has anyone got old broken clarion cd player , i am after the front cover?

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.
