Hello guys, this is my first post and hoping for a little help on the world of 300ZX's! :D Love the look of them, but i think id like to go for a '96 or '97 model for piece of mind/gadgets...can anyone tell me the difference in equipment between '90 and '96?? Also, id like to know a little about their performance! How quick are they realisticly? I drive a stage 1 (soon to be stage 2) 200sx, how would they compare? Plus how cheap are Zed's to tune from stock to get some pretty decent power? Finally...the dreaded MPG question! Just how bad are they!? lol. i KNOW you dont buy this kind of car for mpg, but would be nice to know what im in for! Thanks for a…

Hi Guys, I've just bought a Stage 3 chip from Ebay and the advert said that all I needed was a free flow exhaust and air filter. The same guy then sent me an email later on saying that for best results I need to up the fuel input and increase the injectors but it will run fine on just the filter and zorst as long as I don't boot it too much. Now, (you lot being far more knowledgable than I) is he feeding me some pony and is there a risk of me knackering my engine if I fit this chip with the mods that I have? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Ian

Think my Z is broken :( When i changed the oil and filter there was 6 litres of oil in the car! replaced with correct amount but car is still producing lots of white smoke and is also misfiring. Does this sound like turbo seals? there is also oil leaking out of the exhaust, somewhere in the middle underneath the car. and there looks like oil on one of the turbos when you look from underneath the car Is there anyone in the london area that would be able to carry out the work for me?

Ok, i'm confused(doesn't take much!) On bmw's , if the wheeel bore is bigger than stock hub size, you get vibrations/wandering/rubbish drive. So why do i see so many 17,18+ 19 wheels, saying for 300zx fitment, with larger bore sizes? :wack:

Have just been looking at getting a DAB radio and have found that you can get a splitter for your normal ariel to run your DAB radio. Might seem like a stupid quistion but does anybody know if the existing ariel will suffice for this. This is the splitter. http://www.lowcostcaraudio.co.uk/shop/Autoleads-PC6-536-PC6536-DAB-Aerial-Splitter_productJJ1885 Darrell

Thought this may be of use. http://www.greenergy.com/tesco_99_octane/where_to_buy.html Rob :)

I read alot about how much power you guys are pushing out of these cars with a few mods, i am just interested to know if any of you are running with a similar setup to mine and what bhp youre getting Chip Scorpion exhaust Decat Induction 14-15psi boost Just wondering as i,m gonna pull the engine this winter and fit a set of hybrids and injectors to her, and would like to know what sort of bhp increase i will get. So basically i,m wondering if the extra cost would be worth the power increase. I know i will need a clutch. Any figures or estimated costings for the turbos and injectors, or have you any for sale. Cheers George

i'm right on the verge of buying a tt manual swb but i'm worried about the oil pressure. how much should they run? it seems low. 2 on tickover when cold, less when warm, and only reads 4 when driving! is this an issue? its only done about 50k miles and everything else is sweet. starts on the button,no smoke, drives lovely etc. please help. i'm a 300 virgin

As above with stock wheels. See you parked in the Liberty Centre car park on upper floor, Sunday 19th Aug. Thought i was looking at the front of my own car as i went past.

Must be ona meet somewhere. Not me though, im stuck without a bloody car, no money and yet again while I am suposed to be working it is pissing down.

Could some of the fellas from the Midlands suggest bodyshops to get quotes for the repair of my Z.

Well I have been very patient trying to sell hher without success and after thhe recent offers I have received I am thinking about breaking her to maximise my returns. Any interest let me know...

Got a chance to buy a 300 at a cracking price, but needs the above doing, anyone a clue on cost?

Hi, The missus is on the M25 in the Zed and the windscreen wipers have packed in! Typical that its raining buckets. She says they made a clunk sound and then something snapped and they stopped working. The motors are still going (clunk,clunk!) but the wipers are not working. She's trying to find a safer place to stop before looking at them because visibility is very bad. Does anyone have any suggestions ? it would be much appreciated! Thanks.

have a good un m8

Not sure if the manual kit i'm buying has original gearknob, just wondered if there's any links to nice aftermarket ones. I've seen a couple on here with a "ball" type knob in chrome, don't know where to get them. cheers in advance :)

Changed fuel filter today and filter was full of a brown silt like stuff. Looked like rust. Me's thinking that after 17 years there must be quite a lot of s**t in the tank. So, what do you recon guys, is it worth cleaning out tank and replacing the pump? If so, I've seen those uprated ones on Ebay, any good? I'm thinking that all that stuffs gone through the pump and can't of done it any good. Off to Spain in the old girl soon and can't be doing with some french bloke charging me 500 euros to whack a pump in!!! :headvswal Jase
