Sorry if this is a repost, but I have never seen this clip before.

at some point, looked like Mike Groves' old car.... :D

Hi All, I think this is maybe my first post in here?? Anyway, I was looking into buying a 300TT a few weeks back but changed my mind for a TVR. Then I canged it again for an Intergrale and now I could doing full circle and looking for a 300ZX again. So what I will be after is of course a TT model as I want it as quick as possible so may as well go for turbo from the off? I also dont want a car any newer than 1992 so I can get my classic insurance cover. Not too bothered about colour but am not a fan of white cars unless they are Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts, but thats another story. So folks this thread is not a wanted advert as it first appears but more o…

white zed spotted in preston , windows steamed up in a country lane. looked like some man love going on . the other guy looked a bit like duffy. was it you. ;)

Spotted with missing plenum and NSF wheel in the leyland area. WAS IT YOU???????? :rofl:

Big thanks to Andy Duff for sorting the Hesitation problem out i had, broken injector cap touching the needle, plus front wheel bearing, the man is a Genious, car is back to its former glory and goes like a rocket again. Well worth the 230mile trip each way and car never missed a beat on the drive home. But your SHIT at pool :rofl: :rofl:

Hi, apologies for the questions to follow, as I know they've been done to death, but would like a couple of definative answers if possible. I have tried to use geniune leather for my interior panels but cant seem to get it right ( stretching marks etc ) , so i'm trying another material. I have seen alcantara on ebay and such like, are these materials stretchy ( as such) to follow the contours of the panels and their odd shapes and if there are any other recommended materials to use.. thanks Mark

Has anybody got a few pics or advice of fitting these? where abouts you bolt them on etc? all "valuable" help appreciated. thanks. p.s have done a search but not a lot found.

Hi mate I have just emailed your 300zx.co.uk email if you could have a look I presume thats the right contact hellraiser with the Z at the end thanks chris

Hi guys, I used to have a 200sx and have insurance with a company called MCE who I found on the sxoc Anyway, i'm 22 with 1 years no claims so pretty young. I've just bought a 1992 300zx TT SWB slicktop import. I've been having quotes for around £1500 per year for just TPFT for an imported car as you all know its usually more expensive. MCE have been unbeleivable and given me an amazing quote to keep me as their customer. £1100 - FULLY COMP with a £350 excess. At my age and only 1 years no claims I think this is an incredible price. If you want a quote here is the number... MCE : 08709 09 09 96 (Dan is the guy that sorted mine o…

Allo peeps, I need to drop the car a tad on the back end. Whats the best option? coilovers? Pricewise....what am i looking at without being silly ;) Are they a pain in the bot to fit :D Cheerz Marc

billet motor mounts :)

As above , thanks lads for checking the car over and doing the oil change . Saved me a mint compared to the quote from my local garage , plus J gave me his spare oil-pressure switch . They were reluctant to discuss payment for the work , but eventually had a drink out of it :p Highly reccomended , with the added bonus of some amusingly " colourful " language :rofl: Thanks for helping me out , chaps , I`ll certainly be back :D Brian

Some good news for potential buyers. The 8.5" width alloys WILL fit under a stock front end. See here for more info: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=88595 Leigh.

... and on with the 18-Inch 350Z Rays Before: And after: Needless to say, I'm pretty pleased with the overall result, and its bound to make my red Z even faster (if that's possible of course)... ================================================== Like a retired James Bond, the Z exudes an air of understated class. ==================================================

Went around to see how Neil was getting on with his manual box convert. Was generaly talking when my eyes fell on a HKS induction on the floor. "Wooo I said just what Im looking for to do a twin induction." It was looking a bit sad as the grills rust in the zed due to the fact they sit quite low and get wet. The good ole boy said "you wan it, Id rather have Apexis." "Take it " :bow: :bow: (This is a £130.00 induction we are talking here) Fair play thats made my life easy so I spent an hour sorting it out tonight Neil cant thank you enough :duffer: few of these coming your way Allan

Hail the 300zx. :bow: :bow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNta7RQVFyY

Right I have now discovered (thanks to help from club members) that the wheels I have are standard 350Z alloys. If I am to put these on to my UK TT what size tyres should I use. 350Z alloys are 8J X 18 alround but obviously my UK has staggered wheel sizes. Do I still need to drop the rear to 35 or should I just run with 40s all round. Would also be quite keen to up the widths from the standard 225 and 245 respectively. Any advice welcome as I know sod all about tyre configurations.

Here you go, pull the pipe off the clutch booster nipple and plug it with a 8mm bolt, your clutch will be heavy, but if it is the booster thats at fault this will stop the clutch slipping. Sorry I will have to find a manual engine picture the one I have in my pics is an auto, wont be long Here you go

never thought i'd be writing this but some f*****g c**t has just crashed into me. even worse he drove of!!!! :rant: :rant: :cry: so unbelieveably upset. was nearly in tears. been to the police already and reported it but very little little they can do cos i didn't get the reg number. sooooooooooooooooooooo angry :rant: :rant: does anyone know of anything extra i can do? i'm ok by the way. :mac1: will post up some pics tomorrow.

Might be a handy reference for everyone, to have a pic of the rear of your zed's backboxes and what make they are?
