Previous insurer wanted £560 for classic agreed value of £10000, but would not give agreed value if kept on a driveway. Looked at Multicar with Admiral, but the sales guy told me not to go with them as NO modifications are covered..... was nice to hear an honest " The policy is wrong for you!" Adrian Flux was very competitive with £330 with agreed valuation of £10000 or £315 without agreed value. Nearly went with them.... But... I had a call whilst getting documents ready for Adrian Flux to take out the policy..... The winner was 'Classic line' insurance who quoted me £274, Fully Comp, Classic Policy, legal, recovery and windscreen, No third party cover for other…

Ok so I was lucky enough to be the lucky buyer of the wide body 300zx recently on eBay. However there is a problem, maybe 2..... So I brought it with the suspicion that the tappets needed replacing however after a 260 mile drive home and starting it the next day the noise had completely cleared and full power seemed to be accessible (when noisy there is a significant loss of power) Later that day i stopped for 5 minutes, started again and to my disappointment the tapping noise had returned withdrawing the power with it.... I believe it had an oil change and treatment within the last month by the previous owner who also posted about this problem but I am now confused as to…

Got my zed mot'd today & she passed no problem. The mot guy was very impressed. So she's been on the road for a year now since the big build so thought I'd put up a few pics of her transformation. A lot has been done & changed within a year & there's still a few things to sort, new clutch needed soon & I'll probably get the gearbox refurbed at the same time but still so much fun to drive. Got the summer to enjoy her now.

Car had an MOT today, as usual the guy was amazed at the cars condition, well except for this:- The part circled in red is worn, so need to order a replacement. What part is it?

I still keep an eye on cars at auction. Thought I will share pictures of some that I like if it interests anyone else. Can't see sale prices, unfortunately. 11/06/2015 - 2000 GCZ32 Version S

Hey, I'm looking to swap out the automatic transmission of my JDM 300ZX (1990 2+2 TT) and replace with a 5spd, and I have what I imagine is a pretty basic question but one I want to get right. Is there any difference between a UK spec 5spd transmission and a JDM one? I don't want to buy a new tranny and have it not fit or something when I come to install it. As an aside, if anyone has done this conversion themselves and has any advice to offer I would be more than happy to hear it, I'd be grateful! Thanks for looking :)

Came across this today, thought it worth a mention. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRESH-IMPORT-1998-NISSAN-300ZX-FAIRLADY-3-0-TWIN-TURBO-RARE-MANUAL-PEARL-WHITE-/271893395675?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4e1bf8db

I've got an NA and occasionally it will overrun for a 2-3 seconds after turning the ignition off. It doesn't do it every time, anyone come across this issue before or know how to resolve? Thanks :)

Shall I drive home from work with the roof off to celebrate this glorious afternoon :)

As above For a clutch slave cylinder ?

Just seen this on ebay and wondered if anyone had used one to diagnose any faults and if it was any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Consult-Auto-Car-Vehicle-Diagnostic-Interface-14-pin-Code-Scanner-for-Nissan-UK-/291108006808?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43c763ab98

Just wondering if my old Zeds out there anywhere! Miss the old girl!

Couldn't resist , looks like my zed's sold so put the deposit down on its replacement, really excited, it's not new but feels like it to me, was traded in at work at a silly price so now it's mine. OK it's not a 300zx but I needed somthing newer as I could be travelling alot more soon.

Has anyone had any recent dealings with exhaustsuk.com // Cobra exhausts in Sheffield. Looking to get a custom exhaust for my SWB at some point soon, its quite close by and wondered if they were any good? Thanks...

Does anyone know if there is any difference in PCVs between the JDM / UK / US spec cars? Looking to make an order from the US and would like to order the full PCV+hose kit, but I seem to remember that someone said there was a difference in PCVs. Thanks.
