Hi everyone, not been on here for a while! Is there a way of getting your car valued? I know nothing about this, I don't really want to sell but it's stuck in a Shithole of a garage all winter, every winter! Needs a better home and I can't provide that unfortunately, phutumsch knows my car and its still looking extremely tidy and runs like a dream!

Hi there Does anyone have a secret way of getting the nut off to remove the lower control arm? I have tried WD40 & Freeway to penetrate, jacked the arm up so weight of the car is on it, used blowtorch to heat nut and tapped with hammer whilst trying to turn..... what else apart from cut nut off? thanks in advance

Whats your favourite Z. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284548806920?hash=item42406e3908:g:K~YAAOSwFQRhpelu https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11795536 https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11369392

Found a recent Z book on Amazon, looks like it could be a nice read from a couple of reviews on websites. Anyone read it? https://amazon.co.uk/dp/0760373698

Just my luck! I have put in a black friday order in on Z1 and wanted to order the 300 degree camber kit with it, but noticed they no longer stock it anymore. Does anyone know of any alternatives? I found a link to a post where some guys made their own and listed sizes etc. but doesn't seem to be loading for me currently: https://forums.nicoclub.com/300-degree-camber-kit-t571493.html Has anyone tried that? The kit did just seem to be milled blocks of aluminium and nuts & bolts. I would prefer an option like this as hoping to use OEM upper arms and bushings

I'm planning parts for a respray at some point next year hopefully, but am looking to replace the front bumper at the same time. Mine has a UK 89 bumper on at the mo and when it was fitted I had them fill the washer jet holes but it's starting to show so was hoping to swap for a new / good condition second hand 89 JDM bumper. Does anyone know if it's still possible to get a JDM spec (or USA spec if it is the same) 89 front bumper? I've found the following part numbers but Nissan UK either doesnt recognise them or is showing NLA: 6202242P28 6202242P92 The USA version was available on Z1 but they now have that one marked as NLA

Hi all, I have a few nice things I may be selling in the near future, but I'm wondering what I can ask for them, I'm finding it hard to get comparisons from research. Any help is much appreciated! I have the Z1 GT600R turbo kit, only covered around 3K and were taken of the car a few years ago with no issues and have been stored since. I was thinking of having them rebuilt before selling, so I can sell them signed off as spot on. Any ideas what the kit is worth in current condition, and is it worth me having them fettled first? I also have the Z1 Jecs 550cc full injector kit, with a DTA 550 chip to go with, new and never been fitted on an engine (but they ar…

Currently up for auction in the US with bidding now at $20,000 with 6 days to run a clean low mileage example. How high will bidding go? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-54/ BTW - this is yet another example of a good Z32 up for auction on BAT showing the car being lifted incorrectly on the sills. Lifting damage to the front sill area is clearly visable. If it was my car I would be livid!

Hello. I have a 1990 300ZX Z32 none turbo. Its my pride and joy. However on my last day out, i overheated with a burst radiator, She just wont start. Shes turning and there is no contamination of the oil. i have replaced the PTU with a brand new unit which made no change. I need a competent mechanic in Northern Ireland that knows there way around a 300zx. Any body any recommendations. Many thanks in anticipation.

Evening, I am doing my research before I buy myself a Z32, is there a link on this forum to a model guide? Possibly something that documents the changes and tweaks that were made year on year over the production run? Are there any years that are particularly popular? If so, why? Also, any special editions brought out? Thanks,

Assorted pictures from this years show (click for hi-res).

My Zed has eventually passed the 100,000 mile mark, I really, really need to use it more - this was way too long in coming. Obligatory recent photographs attached, apologies for the size of them.

Hi there, Electric problem! Near side rear tail light stopped working. This morning I think I have fused the Off side rear tail light! Both not working. Bulbs are good, brake lights working no warning lights on. Stop light fuse under bonnet is good. Is there a relay I could have damaged? Is there another fuse? Art

As per title, a UK spec 14k mike TT Auto previously owned by the Sultan of Brunei is going up for auction this month - see link: https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2021-11-27/cars/ref-44-1990-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-sb/ This has been at PowerZed and Dream Body Works this year by the current UK owner, to bring it up to mint condition. Estimated price range £24-£29,000. Lets see how high she goes... @AndrewG the advert lists the Vin number so you can add to the database. Thanks to Aff68 for sending me the link to this beauty.

With a lot of Z's going into the garage for the Winter lets see your Winter pics. These of mine were a few years ago when we had a slight dusting of show so I brought the Z out of hidding to breath in the cold air.

Howdy guys,hope everyone is doin good. Just found my wife's old tube channel which shows me just finishing the side exit exhaust i built, not for the purists but i loved it and i still miss that car? Cant believe its been over 7 years.

Hi all, no sales pitch from me! I have had my Zed since I bought it over from Japan back in March 2014. Been a member of 300zx.co.uk since importing the Zed. lm retiring in 2022 with other priorities coming up. Going to advertise it at £12,999 going from recent adverts. 2019-2021 has 120k full cambelt done, manual conversion done, replaced all 6 coil packs & plunges, air con compressor changed & re- gassed, all disc & pads changed, all 4 tyres changed. All MOTs, all importing documents. Lots more too. art

Saw a zed parked in the eastbound seven sisters bus stop with a Nissan skyline R33 and something else at 3:40 this morning on the way to work, couldn't see what colour, but maybe black/dark.

Let me know, if you're interested in a group buy $725 a set (does not include shipping/import duty). Description below taken from CZP about these awesome throttle bodies. Rob'Z 62mm Billet Throttle Bodies are the best option available for the Z32. They are significantly larger than stock, and flow much more air than stock. These are an excellent upgrade to pair with 2.5" intercooler / intake piping and doing them together will eliminate the last restriction in your intake system. In comparison to the 50mm stock throttle bodies, which flow 350 CFMs, these flow 598 CFMs. Please note that you will need to machine your plenum to suit the larger opening. T…

Hi, working my way through the various issues on my 1990 tt. The weirdest one is the fact that my low fuel warning light, which was working perfectly, has now stopped. Instead it lights up when I open either door or the boot. Would appreciate any pointers! I've been repairing both instrument cluster yokes, wipers/lights as they were both badly cracked, the wiper one was causing the indicator malfunction when the hazard wasn't fully off syndrome but I doubt that has anything to do with the fuel light? But I wouldn't be surprised ?

If you know you know.

What’s the physical difference? Ive seen some with 2 outlets on the left hand side (looking at engine) and some with 3, but I don’t think that’s the difference as my auto bar has 3.

Having treated the old girl to new rear lights I’m considering changing the rear spoiler for OEM or something similar not quite sure and maybe remove the bottom defuser. kind of go back to completely original? What you guys think ? I know a few Dont like the look of my rear ? but don’t worry you won’t offend me I’m a big lad ☺️

Defective clear timing cover seems the mould was made with defect so disappointed this was sent to me with an obvious defect. Be careful Z1 Motorsports take no responsibility for defective items except getting you to send it back and hopefully not get charged import duty for a second time... What a waste of space please beware there really is no recourse buying from abroad

Need new exhaust for LWB TT 1989 model. Any recommendations?
