General Discussions - 300ZX Related

Was wondering if there was any resolution to the zed that was on here last year newly imported and had the VIN number crudely cut out ? seem to remember it went on a bit and many were suggesting the seller had a role to play in helping out. Now it may well be all was resolved and to a good outcome (?) and lets hope so for all parties, however do not remember seeing anything to suggest that, any links would be appreciated sure other members have wondered too.

Help, I am at my wits end, My front wipers have stopped working, along with the wash/wipe, the rear wiper and heating works as normal, I have replaced the Fuse, wiper relay in the engine bay, and the wiper pod itself....Still nothing, Has anyone got any ideas???

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to start a build/project thread so let me know if I need to move it elsewhere. On the 3rd of December I picked up a really nice fresh import from the lovely people at Torque GT in Devon. If anyone is looking to import a car I'd highly recommend them but that's another discussion. I got a toy 300ZX when I was 4 and since then I've always wanted one. Getting a PS1 with Gran Turismo only made the obsession worse so for the past few years it's always been in the back of my mind to get one but I wanted to go all out and get the best one I could afford. Zelda is completely rot free, literally not a bit. I think she must have …

Hello all I'm back after a period of briefly lurking around reading the odd post. Im currently stuck with a dilemma about what to do with my Z. it's a Tommy Kaira Special and has been parked up for the past three years after I moved house. I have now moved to the Isle of Man and am considering whether I should get it running and sell it on (to invest in a 370z) or bring it over here with me. From this location it will be tricky to do all the bits needed (seals, repair bumper crack, fluids, tyres etc) without flying back regularly to supervise. i'm not sure how much these would go for now and I would have to factor in the cost of leaving i…

Hi all. I thought i would ask if any not far from Hull would fancy doing a cambelt change for me. Obviously i would help.

notice to all members the South East region are holding a meet at Londons famous ace cafe, we have the main car park to ourselves from 11am to 4pm on Saturday the 11th February, Any member welcome, Link to original thread

HI all, I will post images soon in my journal but thought id update... she is back and although the main reason for sending it to Lee wasn't fixed, super frustrating, the rest of the work is absolutely amazing. Below is a list of what I have had done: HKSSK401 Spark plugs Boost gauge and A pod pillar fitted Oil temp and water temp gauge supplied and fitted into a pillar pod Powder coated plenum Powder coated water pipes Powder coated boost pipes powder coated air intake pipes All upper gaskets and Cam cover gaskets x8 Welding OSF floor Air con delete EGR Delete Water bypass with EGR Blanking Kit Cam belt correction, one tooth out....don'…

Attempting to get a 1990 TT auto jap import back on the road for the summer. Its sat of the road for over 7 years so obviously it needs all the fluids replaced but what else is recommended? I've already replaced the fuel lines under the bonnet and most Vac lines as well as some new fuel. I think I'm looking at a timing belt kit and a full service including brake fluid, auto box oil and diff oil. Pretty much all of the breaks need done as well.

Well hello again! 3 years after having to part ways with the old zed because of heart trouble - I'm back on it! Happy days! Picked a naughty shorty from Mark. Needs a little work, but hey, that's how they usually come right! N/A manual, should be good for some fun

Just seen this and thought I'd share:thumbup1:

After some advice please, Ive owned this car for about a year now (jap tt) and during the time ive owned it, its been reasonably reliable, except for an unresolved boost issue and it now needs its 4th injector. Please ignore the boost problem as I dont think its relevant to this issue. When I bought the car it had a few dodgy "fixes",I think ive sorted all of them and interestingly it was sold with a bag of 6 standard injectors as it had upgraded ones fitted (it didnt).Every now again it runs on 5 and by swapping the injector with one from the bag it runs on all 6 again. The dropped cylinder is moving, so in my opinion would rule out a wiring fault. The plenum has been …

Hi there I dont know if anyone knows me. I am a member here for the last 15 years. I have been inactive for the last 8 years. My car is a 1990 Twin Turbo and it has been off road for the last 8 years. Even a mouse used my engine as a home :) Last 3 years i started bit by bit fixing it again. I change pistons, fuel pump, fuel regulators etc. Car is equipped with Greddy TD-06 20G turbos, 840cc Sard injectors, Greddy 3 Row Intercooler, the list is endless Last week I manage to start it up and took it for a spin and OMG. 1,8 bar of boost!!!! That was sick !!!! The acceleration, the power, Ohh My God!!! I was shocked to see the boost go that high. I try to…

Hoping for some advice- One of my z's has a single Stainless HKS Super Dragger on it which is not for me- but I know they can be sought after for the sound. Single outlet to 5", goes from turbos back. I have been asked about selling it but anyone know what is worth as I want it to go toward funding other things? Obviously would include the 2 into one pipe. Also going to sell the rear light panel in picture- any idea what that might be worth? Any help gratefully received. Dave

Good evening, I'm looking at getting a 300zx. Now the question I have is this. For the NA owners, are you happy with your Z? Do you have regrets for not getting the TT? Views either way appreciated.

My 300 has HID's, Leads rectangular box, plug to lamp connector, etc and H3c bulb with wire, Question is, if i buy the H7 lead for my merc, can i just swap it over, to give my merc some HID's for £8.00? Cheers

Following on from Richie's group buy last year, I'm now the owner of a brand new engine loom. :) Having spoken to someone recently about things, they're of the opinion that the WS looms are cheap Chinese things! Apparently the connectors are prone to breakage and the insulation unwinds itself after 6 months or so.... :( Has anyone who has one of these fitted got an opinion please? Whilst I've no doubts it'll be better than my current 25 year old Nissan loom, I don't really want to fit it if I'm going to have significant issues further down the line...

I’ve seen in threads that a lot of you U.k guy’s run with higher Bhp engines. I’m curious whether you have changed your brake system and fitted big brake kits. James will rebuild my engine to approx. 475 Bhp and ConceptZ is selling a complete Akabono kit from a 370z witch is on sale. I’ve heard that the front Brembo’s of a 350z will also be a great upgrade. What are your suggestions if you look at the Bhp. Thanks Peter

Right. Today I've been out with the Z. She's looking tired and in need of some serious work. Mechanically I should be able to cover all bases. But body work wise. I need help. She's going to need a full respray but I can only see the top surface. I have a problem with rust as the previous owners didn't treat it right and during the 11 years of their ownership neglected it. The two picture below show my 'Temporary Repair' to stop water getting into the car. One shows the near side bottom corner of the rear windshield glass in the tailgate and the second near side top of the windscreen. I have dug out the poor previous attempt carried out by…

Bit of help please. I'm trying to find what I think is probably some sort of threaded grommet. As I've been putting my car back together I've found that where very rear edge of the front bumper attached to the wing (so the leading edge of the front wheel arch) I have nothing to wind a bolt into when you line up the bumper with the support bracket. The front bumper has been off for such a long time, I can't remember what should be there! I know I could use a nut and bolt, but considering it's probably a very cheap part, I'd like to keep an OE fastener. Does any one: A) have the foggiest idea of what I'm talking about B) have a picture of what I'm miss…

Not everyone`s cup of tea a convertible but as they go this one is super nice, did a quick MOT check and wow what a perfect record !! Price is subjective of course but what a nice car.

.....This time in an article about cars which, in the opinion of the writer, went for a steal at auction recently....!! It could be a sign that the Z32 is gaining a higher, more desirable profile at last. Modern classic cars like ours could be set to enjoy a renaissance period, as more people in their 30s, 40s and 50s seek to buy the high performance cars from their youth; that they could not afford then, but can now. The only way is up, as one singer once sang....:cool:

This month's Modern Classic's magazine has an article on the NEC Classic Car Show..... And what do you know, they visited our stand and took a picture of Joel's car!! Joel wasn't in the picture himself, though, just Craig and Ian....:wink: Nice one Joel....:thumbup:

As above, guys - is Mike still ill or is he back on his feet now?
