White Z on the A2 London bound near Blue Water, today 11 o'clockish. Paul

Hi guys, My birthday was coming up so I decided I was going to get a n/a zx, as I owned one a few years back and always regretted selling it. Two weeks ago today I bought a white n/a 300zx from Paul at SWZ (this forums registered trader) after seeing the car on ebay. The car was described as 'A nice drive, mechanically sound with a tidy interior', when i picked up the car the exhausts were blowing very loudly even though it had just passed an MOT that day. I paid for the car and didn't haggle on the price as I believed I was getting a good car. The car didn't even make it home, after 140 miles the car started to misfire and splutter. We pulled into the services a…

Removed stock rear spoiler and now have 6 holes where the spoiler used to be bolted on. Does anyone have (or know where I can get) any “plugs” either rubber or plastic I can put into the holes until I decide what to do? I just want it to look neat and tidy while I am driving it, and also don’t want the dreaded “urine of the God’s” seeping into the boot?

How do you adjust the bonnet alignment, mine sits a couple of mm higher than the wing on the passanger side, its something that has bugged me for a while just not got round to sorting it out, its raining at the moment so can't go and have a look.

Come on - who are ya? Long hair, half way up the bank having a wee! Nice Zed though :)

Well i can't get insured on the 300 :cry: just got my lic back after a lengthy ban for speeding etc (might have been an idea to try insurance first :slap:) so sadly it looks like i'm breaking the 300 now, but i will have another prob next year once an insurance company will touch me. gutted as i've always wanted a 300 and this is manual tt with nice rims, mynes ecu, twin stainless mongoose exhaust etc :cry: i'll get subscribed today and get a thread started in the for sale section in a few days.

I see a H reg standard looking Zed in Kingswood Basildon near where the Ford garage used to be. Is it you Mk300zx

Anyone know the easiest way to gain access to the washer motor? Is it attached to the washer bottle? I'm kind of guessing it may be through the wheel arch but thought it'd save time to check before pulling bits off.

I removed my rear spoiler tonight, what a job! Does anyone know of a good adhesive remover to get the remaining glue off? I cant seem to shift it even with good old fashioned elbow grease!

I had a power failure last week:confused: Car has been fine since i went over a lot of connections and tightened/cleaned them. But took the car out tonight and noticed when i walked away from the car,i does not lock. This is the 1st time i went to lock the car since the problem last week as i have a large integral garage and the car is always in there but never locked. I have owned the car for 6 years and have NEVER used a key to lock/unlock the car,and because of this they are seized:xxx: Any thoughts people?

anyone ever had this done before??????

one rear light not working :D could have been a lot worse considering it's been off the road since christmas. should be ready for me to pick up tomorrow.

Mods/Local group organisers Not sure were to post this Invite from the Z club info taken from over there Posted by the ritchiep who organising it for us >>>>The time has come again - I have received 20 passes for the second Tatton show of the year, on the weekend of August 16th-17th.

Flashed past the camera at 1:24 this afternoon!! :D

As some of you may know nearly 4 weeks ago i was involved in an accident in my pride and joy. No fault of my own, and in fact the third party has admitted total liability. My car is pretty smashed up, - drivers side rear wing, door, front wing, front bumper, headlight, pass side front wing, door. 2 alloys, pass window, both wing mirrors. went through all the right channels with insurance etc. assesor came out last week, personal injury stuff all done. when i took out the policy last year i went with MCE as a few people on here told me they did "agreed value" policies. so rang them, went through all that had been done to my car in the minutest detail and th…

I know it was raining, I'm just wondering what sort of times you guys ran ?. I couldn't make it in the end. Had a bunch of decking delivered in the morning and had to shift it all through the house to the back garden.

should be coming soon i've ben looking for how to but have'nt found one yet can anyone help

How do I adjust them. I take it I loosen the nut on the top of the strut then screw in or out the threaded middle part to soften or stiffen them. My question is which way does what, screw down for stiffer and up for softer or the other way around ? Also does it 'stop' on its lowest and highest setting or could a go too far and it come out ?

Help please! :confused: Mine are Jap inertia and dont retract well- infact passenger one just given up completely with a couple of yards of belt laid on the seat! MOT in 2 weeks as well! Are there reliable ones from other motors that fit or any tips to make em function properly? Regards Dave
