Hi People I could do with some advice. My car has been at a body shop for a long time !!!! i could do with starting it, as i have been told an idle engine, is BAD. It probably has not be run for 8 months to a year. Can you advise what the best method is of starting the engine without damaging the engine / bores. Some people say that you can break rings score bores etc. What is the best method? The car has a new TT engine which has only done 2000 miles. Someone told me to remove the plugs, heat some oil until it smokes, then pour a bit into each cylinder, leave for a while to penetrate, fit plugs etc, then turn over and run. Is this correct? o…

Not completely sure of the colour, a dark bluey/purpley/black?!?!?!?!?! Reg ****EMO, alloys, tints. I was in the red Zed that drove past you and waved.

My brother and sister said they saw a white zed in Ainsdale today, at about 1-2pm. My brother said it was a TT, it was a J-Reg and it had black leather seats. Was it you? :)

:smash::smash: noooo!!!

two dodgy geezers just turned up at my door, foreign-looking and sounding, asking if i was 'maybe selling blue-carr'. i politely told them no, but got their car and reg number just in case. ffs, as if i was going to say, hang on, actually ok then im suddenly going to sell it! :headvswal

Silver J spec G520 *** or G320 *** I was in the back of the mrs twingo looking like an envious schoolboy so i didnt wave!

when i bought the car, i was told it just needed a converter, but im not sure thats correct. ive got 180 clocks but the needle seems to be going in kmh eg if i do around 60 mph the speedo will read approx 100 on the clock and if i do around 100 mph the needle will run off the clock at around 180 can anyone help,as i dont think a converter is the answer????

does anyone no if the mongoose system is any good for a 300 tt auto, cheers

I recently found this old chap sitting under a tree in Foxhole of all places, there should be laws against this sort of abuse, this poor car had 345 BHP and was probably one of the best known cars in Torbay in 2006 and now look at it. If anyone knows the owner please be sure to tell him he's a f#cking joke and I will willingly buy it back not only to save the poor car, but he clearly doesnt deserve such a stunning and well known 300ZX as this one and should be seperated from it ASAP! Some of you may remember this was my car when I was on the forum last time as Jasey300zx. FROM THIS: TO THIS!

just thought i would do my introduction here. ( bare with me) my names is mike most ppl call me macpherson i stay up in the highlands of scotland, (near loch ness monster) lol so far ive had a rover 400 (first car) an xr3i which i did an engine rebuild on and then a pug 306 xsi. im now after something faster and good looking and always like the looks of 300 zx. im wanting to buy my first one got a minimum of 1500 to spend. im not guna lie i dont no much at all about these cars but i do hope to learn :)

My steering wheel is looking a bit worse for ware, I was thinking of replacing it with a 350z wheel, will it go straight on without modification and does anyone know where I could get one from?

Hi folks, just thought I would drop in and tell you finally I have sold my pride and joy to a guy called richard from Tralee in co. Kerry today, hope it brings you as much pleasure as it did me richard:) Was quite sad watching him drive away, that car was like one of the family, but unfortunately it had to be sacrificed, Richard is a member on here and I know it's going to a good home to a fellow enthusiast. I'm sure in the future i'll get behind the wheel of another z, for now i'm getting sloshed to numb the pain lol, Promise ill try and drop in here from time to time, you guys have been a great bunch both as friends and tech help (BTW my pic uplo…

Hey guys I have forged internals, doolz intake, nismo 555's and the Z1 600 tubs. The guys at the garage are telling me that I need bigger injectors to map the car any higher than 450 ish? I thought my injectors would go at most to 555? any thoughts?

Driving like a complete pri*k, undertaking and swerving in and out of traffic. Made me embarrased to be a zed owner. People like that give the rest of us a bad name. Driving like that costs lives.:nono: :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal

I have finished trimming the front interior of the car and will start on the back but the steering wheel lets it down badly. What have most people done on here? Have you all gone aftermarket and juncked cruise control or tried to recover it?

Hi All, I think i may have a problem! When i removed my AIV and EGR i also removed the black box marked with the Green cross apprently its the clutch vacuum assist tank. Will this cause any problems with my clutch or is it another over engineered part on the zed:nono:

does anyone no if this exhaust system fits onto a uk spec automatic lwb HKS Hi-Power Exhaust 3106-EX003 cheers.
