I know this thread is not about the 300 z but it is about the 240z. And as i have said before. If i was ever to get rid of my 300z it would only be for a 240z. My question is in todays value what would one exspect to pay for a nice clean example oh and right hand drive. Cheers.

I plan to run an MBC to control boost and in my quest for a simple clutter free life, I'm thinking I can just bin them. I no longer have a dett sensor so is there any good reason to retain them?

In your own opions what would you say is the best show/ meet of the year. The one not to miss.

I'm fitting my rear diffuser soon and am planning to remove the stonechip effect on the bumper, I would also like to smooth the coach line groove at the same time, don't want to replace bumper or fit a skin over the top. Just curious if anyone has attempted this and if so what were the results.

Since bringing the Zed out of winter hibernation the temp gauge has been playing up. From cold it has a strange issue where as soon you accelerate the gauge goes down, almost exactly does the opposite of the turbo gauge vacuum, soon as that starts giving positive boost the temp gauge goes down then returns back up as soon as you take your foot off the gas. Once warm no issues. What's should I check?

Still mucking on with my boost controller, anyway, I've decided the wiring may not be working since one wire was sticking out a little lol. So, I've took the pins out of the connector to re-wire them and they look a bit pants (cos of me trying to get them out). Anyone know where I might find some the same size? Maplins didn't have any...

For quite a while now, I have been thinking about changing my interior. When I bought the car back in '05, it had tweed, albeit in very good condition. However, I didn't like the feel or appearance of it and about 6 years ago had it all gutted and drummed with a 2-tone leather. I like the smell and look of leather, but it's not supportive and it creaks. I've been speaking to Mondo on and off about having it trimmed in an alcantara / leather hybrid which is ultimately what I will have done toward the end of the year providing that I am still living in the UK as there's a good possibility that I won't be. In the interim (intentional word), I've bought a very tidy …

Just wondered what the rubber blocks are for in the subframe had to remove these before blasting and powder coating there held in by 3 13mm nuts . Some say to do with vibration or damping . I read only fitted on manual car subframes . Just curious anyone know what theses do and do I need to refit them thanks .

Hi guys I've removed all the bushes from the alloy rear knuckes I've also split the hub part off the knuckle . Are these alloy knuckles factory painted black or are they bare alloy . I've tried cleaning them with wire brush and gunk but not come up that good . Just wondered if anyone had cleaned these up and what did they use thanks .

Only so I could you my new toy to dry it...

So after receiving the zed back it drives awesome...now that old tatty looking body needs to have something done with it, so as of now im looking for a very good bodyshop to get into! Recommendations are welcome!..

I Guys, had a quick search but maybe someone can point me in the right direction for rear sill repair panels if there is any such thing? My Z is still solid but sills where going a bit scabby, cut out the rot (still needs a bit more work) and was wondering what would normally be done?? Thanks Steve

I'm sure this has been asked many times before but What's the best offset for 18" wheels, 9.5 on the rear 8.5 on the front? Arches aren't rolled.

My zed is refusing to start. At first I thought it was a flat battery but after charging it up it still won't start. Battery is under 1 year old so can't be that. I've spoke to a few people about it & we're thinking it might be an earthing issue. When I turn the ignition on the lights on the dash are faint & there is a loud buzzing noise coming from the drivers side wing. The aftermarket gauges came on before when I unlocked the car. Any ideas what it could be or what to look for? Car is a TT, manual conversion.

Does anyone know if the LHD NA clutch pedal bracket is the same as the corresponding RHD bracket? I am in the midst of a auto-manual swap on a RHD 300ZX but all I can locate are LHD clutch assemblies. I am having a very difficult time tracking down a RHD one.

Can say I didn't see any other 300zx there, so hope the slicktop represented the club well, but spoke to a someone with a zed in the garage, don't know if he is on here though... Looked nice in the pictures he had

Having a mind blank, do I need to drop the engine crossmember for removal without the box? The cars currently on stands at the front, will I need to shift the support to axel stands to allow it to drop. Looking to do this today and my mind is blank.

I purchased a newly built engine about a 2 years ago with the following spec Full Bottom end rebuild Balanced and honed Wisco 88mm Pistons ARP Main & Stud Kit NGK Sparks Cometic head gasket what kinda power could a engine of this type handle safely without me starting to worry.... I have the supporting mods to get more power now but im concerned to what the engine can actually handle.... before i start fitting the turbos and injectors etc etc..... what can it do? Was it a mistake not having the rods also? Thanks in advance

Ok! Maybe just another Zed for sale with an overdose of the "Bay" signature lens flare to help it along. UK spec, owner 20 years, to be honest I like it, had a lot of work and one of the better wide body's I've seen. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-NISSAN-300-ZX-TURBO-/121630395740?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c51bc8d5c

Saw a dark coloured zed zipping along the M4 today about 13.45ish. Couldn't be more specific as I only saw the roof line over the Armco I was heading east in the van.

Does anybody know if RB25DET Injectors fit the Z32s Iv got a 1990 engine...... Trying to get hold of some bigger injectors and looking around on prices as the bills are escalating with new turbos and various other bits im having to spend cash on.

Hello I bought one month ago some 300zx parts for 300£ to David Kemshell who live near London or Lincolnshire ... The Bank transfer is done since one month and items are normally sent since 03/26/15.

Some days left i contacted him again to have news and he told me that it It has cleared customs. This informations date of the 04/12/15. But today nothing arrived and no really news from him since one week. When i begin to tell him that items was never sent, he don't appreciate...but he did not send me so far tracking number :( So anybody know …
