Thought a few might be interested in this. One of the very few remaining good ones. Looks like it's had good amounts of money thrown at it. ZClub owner car. Never seen it before, but it doesn't half look good! Absolute bargain price too. Seriously seriously cheap IMHO. Only problem is with it, it makes me realise just how worthless my Z is. If all I could get for mine was £3,750, I'd rather moth-ball it or send it off to a museum. Quite sad to see such a nice example going for small change. One of the best adverts I've seen. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Twin-Turbo-Man-UK-Car-400BHP-No-Swap-PX_W0QQitemZ140273831533QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140273831533&a…

Went to see Leon today and he's got started on the manifolds! Excellent job as always, he's managed to get the exact length / diameter I wanted in there and yet still make it so you can fit them without pulling the engine. Should be done by next week then can fire it up!!!!

At last the last two bolts i had to grind the barstuards off its now 3 20 its taken me nearly 3 hours to get the blood y exhaust off,oh well at least now i can see the propshaft.Right the cars on ramps and axle stands and choked up and i have spare wheels underneith at back just in case dont fancy being flatened and car is in secound gear and the handbreak has never been on so tight. Am i wright in saying undo the four bolts holding the middle of the prop together then the two witch hold the centre bearing thing and then that should drop down to give me enough space to pull out of gearbox or just leave it there and tie it of with steel cable ties? CHEERS

Hi all On the way to work this morning the car started and drove off fine however when i pulled on to the main rd at end of street the fan belt gave out a very loud squeel ! but quickly stopped upon acceleration As im not the best with cars mechanicly i thought get home ring nissan for a price and just get it changed! I was advised would be 24.99+vat and would have to order after he said the price i asked out of interest how much seen as would have to go to dealer to collect they would charge to fit while there my face dropped when they called me back and said it would 545.00 to fit :shock: Can this be right or was i just talking to a complete b…

ABOUT TO DROP EXHAST AND PROP. any handy hints on what or not what to do, im droping because of engine out

Hi Guys, I consider myself to have a healthy example of a TT auto, but I notice on the buyers guide that it says the engine should be completely smooth with not the slightest vibration. My engine runs very well, is fully serviced by a specialist. I don't have any problems. But at warm idle there is the slightest vibration to be felt thru the car. One member on here said if you could feel a vibration on the door sill something wasn't quite right! I have Datascan now, I have turned each cylinder off in turn, there is no noticeable difference in power balance. I've got a funny feeling that this slight vibration is normal and nothing to worry about, but when you read …

Is there a difference between the two oil fillters most places the drop down ques only show tt

well after further investigation today my zed is just going to cost too much to repair the good old rotten sill syndrome compared to how much its worth, so looks like it will be broken for parts & scrapped! :o15: had her for over 6 years & was hoping to repair & sell, bit gutted really. really pi$$ed off TBH!
