But OIL!! Read loads of threads but have just come away totally confused, I think Ive got it right to think fully synthetic, but what grade should I use? (Ducks very low and awaits) :confused: :confused:

Heading past New Forrest area towards Bournemouth....... (Im crap with areas)... anyway was it you? Certainly not a silver one I've seen before and must say it was lush! :bow: I was heading other way towards Southampton ... oh this was about 8pm(ish) :D

Number plate K300TTS (I think!) Sunday, A1 southbound just after the road works before the metrocentre, about 7.40pm. I was in the Black Golf who flashed and waved at you!

White with Black top. Saturday evening going along Durham road towards the Angel of the North!

Dont know if a repost but interesting http://y2u.co.uk/classic_car/Cl_Nissan_300ZX_Car.htm

I wasn't going to put any phots up until I'd finished doing some little jobs and gave it a wash but I took some for someone tonight so thought I'd post them. I've got some replacements trims and other bits to make it pukka. I got it from the guy who was off to Miami . It had no MOT so he didn't get much interest and had dropped his price from 4k to £2600 as he was leaving in two days. I said I would come with the cash to look if he put it through the MOT. It failed on a tyre and front brake pads so I went up to take a look :) It had loads of history including £2700 for new turbos, a new oem rad £270, and a load of other stuff including the original dealers letter and a…

first time last night i took my zed out in the dark.. turned on the headlamps to see where i was going ....... may just have used candles.. is this just another 300zx glitch along with the rest of the problems... :headvswal

From Scarboro to york way. I was sat in that huge queue - you came past other side with targas off

Hello all OK the car was doing the stalling thing when driven hard so I followed the instructions on the site to check the idle air valve. Took it off cleaned it with brake cleaner and degreaser, Dryed it and put it back on the car and now the idle bounces up and down and it mis fires like hell when driven???? Whats going on?? Please help????

just took the zed for a bit of a thrashing came to brake at the roundabout and it didnt wanna stop. luckily the traffic had started to set off , so i took it slow and they seem ok but when i push her hard she dosnt want to pull up is this a problem with the zeds , pads and discs look ok. any ideas need to get it sorted as my confidence in the car is growing and i push it more and more.. :mac1:

was sat in a cafe having dinner in matlock today, the place was heaving. 2 zeds came through, one im sure was shells candy gold one, and the other could possibly be ceejay, red one with same style rear lights which was the leading car. was aroud 2:30pm

Went to Great yarmouth over the weekend. Got to Norwich (about 100 miles) and all of a sudden I had no boost. The stock gauge was going up but had no acceleration. Then all of a sudden the boost would come back. Have just driven back and haven't had a problem. Any ideas as to what this could be? Darrell

First one was a white one at AFL with a hoooooge razor styleeee spoiler. Second was a red one on leyland lane doing a U turn with a NO SH1T sticker in the rear quarters. Anyone here?

Just out of interest, would my 300zx protest massivly if i ran it on regular unleaded? I have a 92 JDM TT auto... and unfortunatly i have to use her for my commute to work next week until my run about is ready. Its basically 40 miles on the motorway and a mile of normal roads at each end. Will it be okay on regular, or is it better safe than sorry and use V power. The car has no mods as such (filter, exhaust etc etc)

can you replace the sills/cills on the Z and where can a get some from?

Anyone running rear rims that can take 2 x Bridgestone S-01 285/40/17 ? I won them on ebay by accident (like you do! was a last minute mistake bid). They've got about 4-5mm on them and are £20. They are in NW London so need either pickup or post (courier is £15). I don't want to mess the guy around but don't think they are any use to me!

I have a Jap import 300ZX TT it has no history of a cambelt change and I would rather get it done ASAP, I was wondering if any of you who live in Surrey area would take on the task and how much would it cost me including parts? and if it's an engine out, would it be possible if you could give the engine a quick look over to see if it needs anything else whilst it's out?

....as the title says. dont want to spend to much on one but are there ones that will sneak under my lowered zed and still be able to take the tonnage. dont want anything fancy and would just get a halfords one but wondered if there was a speacial one for low cars??

Hope you have a fab day! xxx

Has anyone tried 'www.ztech.co.uk' for parts and work? Looks like quite a new site and seems promising to me. I'm thinking of doing an engine rebuild in the next few months with them. Not too sure where the best place is to go at the mo with the old rebuilds. I'd even settle for a place that sells tuned Z engines, if anyone knows where..

the car has pushed the dipstick out twice now in about a month and spat about alf a litre of oill allover the n/s turbo, wasnt pretty, i thought i had blew it up! is it time for me to buy a spare engine and start rebuilding it or do i just need a new dipstick coz it feels slacker than the local bike?
