Having a chat with Jimmer last weekend about Z prices. Have noticed that the prices for good ones seems to, at the very least, remained stable. Maybe even on the rise ever so slightly. Checking out some of the for sale ads in Piston heads especially, there are more TT-manuals going for the £5k+ mark than there were about a year ago.

Does anyone have links for how-to's for general maintenance on a UK Auto TT? In particular things like oil change/auto check/auto fluid change/etc? I want to start getting more involved with the car as don't really have any experience and thought decent maintenance would be a good start...especially as I think the car's starting to develop minor problems which may (or may not) be fixed with some basic work... Cheers all...

Just having a wee look through autotrader as i quite fancy a convertible Zed,when i came across this - http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/NISSAN+300+ZX/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-4294966218-4294967243/advert.action?R=200822311013296&distance=297&postcode=ka15hn&channel=CARS&make=NISSAN&model=300+ZX&min_pr=&max_pr=&max_mileage= Twinturbo,Manual and i notice that it also has electric seats and digital climate control which i thought Nissan scrapped on the later cars?

was up to see how my car was coming along and was surprised to see this parked in the car park

Just sent you money and an email to your paypal email address, tell me if that's the wrong address (I can't reply to your 'For Sale' thread as I'm not subscribed) Thanks, Phill

As a guide, just wanting to see what camber you guys have yours set to? I want to keep a certain amount of mild negative camber and will adjust the rears to sit at the same angle. I like equal camber fr/rr as it makes the car look balanced. I'm now running a +25mm offset at the front and a +35mm at the rear which is pretty much as far as you can go without rolling the wings. I am not sure it's as aggressive as I'd have wanted, still looks good..... I am considering coilovers next year. Having all my tracking and camber sorted at Protyre tomorrow, so it should feel and look a lot better. :)

How do you remove you own topics from 300zx site very sorry to bother you all

hello peeps. just a quick question. im pretty sure the timing belt on my '91tt is a tooth out,now ive not really got the funds to put this right yet but i was just wondering if this can damage my engine or will it just not run 100%? cheers.

I know, I know, I'm allowed to havea non standard plate because it's an import or so I was lead to believe. I don't have a license plate bracket on my Stillen. I was trying to get some sense out of the police that pulled me over but they were adament that as soon as imports come into this country they need to obide by the UK rules, fair enough I guess. So I'll be ording new plates tomorrow. Any suggestions about what type would look best on a stillen front end (UK legal that is). Also where would I put it ? Any ideas, any photoshop ideas also ?

Well car has been running alot better now so went up and took it for a nice clean. When I go to drive away I put the car into Hold mode and both the power light and the hold light come on..... So when it is in Hold mode and I put foot down it flys instead of the nice gentle pull of and gear change. but when i put in power mode just the Power light comes on, what would be the reason for this as has only just this minute happened :(

Have a prob at the mo where it coughs and splutters as soon as i floor it. If i increase teh revs slow and steady without boost it runs fine. I have checked the timing with a strobe as conzult was reporting wrong and no change...about to search on here for boost leak after i've pulled the coil packs and checked the plugs, but assume as she runs sweet at tickover and right up to 3.5 /4k revs with no boost that boost leak is the way to go...?? Any thoughts anyone?

Just abot finished the rear of the car except the bumper, when I got the car it had the usual foam bumper with flaky paint. So I've binned it at fitted something a little different and some clear lenses in the indicators, let me know what you guys think? Before During And After....

my car seems to go better if i dont put my foot to the floor, it seems very strong till i put my foot to the floor the it seems to hesitate any ideas

Here's the cause of the vibration. You reckon its broke.

Noticed lately, when cold, taking the foot off the accelerator, I can feel a slight hesitation, a very slight jerking sensation, and the other day came up to a junction, foot on the clutch, it reved to 2000rpm then dropped to normal, I have ordered new pcv's for it but could it be down to anything else. All is ok when warm. Can anyne shed any light on this?

I cant belive what has just happend, Im absoultly fooking fuming!!!!!!!! I live in a very quiet cul de sac, basically in the road no other cars park on the road as all the bungalows have driveways. My van is on parked on the grass outside my house and the two zeds are on the driveway. It is not the kind of road you just turn into, unless you live here. Ive just got home, as i drove towards my house there is a red crappy transit parked where i park my van. Didnt think much of it at first so i park about two houses away. As i walk towards my house i notice the red van is ticking over, then i look towards my Black TT only to see i guy looking in the drivers window. …

One of those silly questions..........i was bored on the motorway and thinking how much air and fuel the Veyron uses on full chat. Got me wondering what the Z used up on full throttle??? So i thought i can't use 3 ltrs of air per rev so how many revs of the crank are there to a full 3l cycle?? :D

I saw a Black 300zx (Stock) on the A48 thursday 29th of may at 12:00pm heading north. I was heading south towards monmouth in my company van. I flashed you :) Anyone from here?? :D

I have a standard JDM 180kph instrument cluster with a 120mph face put on the front of it. I have seen a nice set of 300kph set of clocks on ebay. My question is this... Will the uk 180mph white face kit fit these clocks and be in the correct calibration? I am not sure because 300kph is 186mph and not the indicated 180mph on the clocks, so there is a chance I would be driving too fast..... do I buy them or not?:headvswal:headvswal

If I open the throttle slowly it will get there but any more than about half and the engine just dies, completely cuts out, foot off the gas and its OK again. Cut my boost to half a bar just to make sure it was not over boosting and its the same, no obvious air/boost leaks. Idle is fine if a bit high but then it always is, so its the same. Switched it off last time and it was sweet, started this time and this is happening, so guessing electrical????? Feels like an old fashioned carb engine when its too cold to run without the choke, if you know what I mean? ie running too lean. Any ideas before I start to pull things off? MAF maybe? Thanks in advance…

I was reading "Garage and MOT Professional" today and there was a little article in the staff section with "keiths mate" who drove a white Z who had put all new "jap spec" adjustable suspension on. They were moaning about the struts looking all shiny up to the point they reach the chassis under the hood. Anybody one here?

Will have to finalise the list of cars for this event soon with Surrey Rolling Road, if you want to come along give me a shout asap please? Here are the details http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=109814
