General Discussions - 300ZX Related

Well it's been a while since I've been on here. As of Wednesday I am on the hunt for a new car. I am considering the following: Supra TT Celica GT4 300ZX TT (Advice on choosing would be good from anyone who has owned/driven some/all of the above) Anyway, if I decide to go for a 300ZX, it must be a black manual TT. However, what I am unsure about is if I should get the UK 2+2, or the SWB and pay an extra £400 on insurance :( Is there T-bar and coupe versions of both UK and SWB? When I was here before I was looking at smithyguy's SWB cos it looked exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately I have only just sold my car so haven't been…

Hi guys, i'm looking to get a full cream leather trim done including seats and all other areas. Can anyone recommend a good place in or around the london area, and also what prices they charge. thanks k

my son Rob took his car to Mr Clutch, (FIT NEW CLUTCH) I had a bad feeling straight away, they tried it on saying needs a new gear box, *****cks did,nt fall for that one. However 2 days later he collects car ,pay,s for it drives home, car overheating , oil warning light on, and no speedo reading,they also had to fit two cluches they damaged first one , also they broke bonnet eyelid and scratched paintwork, he loves that car as much as i love the ZED. ps. they,ve still got the car. cowboys!

My Zed stumble's badly and cut's out and smokes after fitting new dump valve's!! Bov's do go psssshhhhht when you change gear or take your foot off gas suddenly car start's to stumble immediatley after psssssshhhht!! Zed was fine running on recirc's and run's fine when i remove the Bov's and replace with the old recirc's??? Everything was fitted exactly as it should be (pipe's capped off/correct clamp tightness/bov's fitted to right pipe's) Any had the same?? :headvswal

the Zed is in for MOT & new parts required. is the heat exchanger required? Will it mess up the axle if I don't fit a new one? They said do away with it you won't get one anyway so I said let me look at the Zed site & will let you know. What do you all think? Help required ASAP. Don't know what to do :confused:

Hi all, Picked up my 300 yesterday (1994 Non turbo Manual in blue). Couple of things. Firstly the window frames/sills are a mix of black/chrome and have seen better days. It's the ones that run under all 4 windows and up the sides of the windscreen across the t-bar. Anyone know where I can get some new ones? Or can you just refurb what's alread there? Also it has recaro seats, is this standard, doesn't look to be? Anyway having trouble getting comfy in it which is beginning to get on my nerves, so am considering selling it already! Apart from that that it's fantastic. Cheers, matt. :hyper: :hyper:

I used to use WonderWheels and it was fantastic but now I have split rim alloys and it says not to use it so I need an alternative that is friendly to my wheels.

Just got the zed back on the road proper for the first time since January. :hyper: Its been of the road for so long because i've been so busy at uni/work etc ive barely had the chance, and for the last couple of months ive been saving for its visit to PPS next weekend. :hyper: Anyway, during that time i got myself a set of second hand 18s. When i had them fitted i was told they were a little buckled and i would notice a bit of vibration from the front. After driving it today, there is defo a good bit of vibration at 70mph and over. I had planned to have these wheels reconditioned anyway as they have been curbed, but i was just wondering if buckling can be cured wh…

just wondered is that you're zed on you're replies you have the same spoiler i want on mine and just wondered about fiting it, does it fit in the holes left by removing the stock spoiler or do you have to drill the car if so was it hard to do i'm buying mine from the zed centre thanks for you time

:D

For anyone interested in buying a really fast zed (stage 2+ madified - no that's not a spelling mistake!) The car will be available for viewing at C+S Woods in Astley Manchester up to the bank holiday weekend and Phil will sort out viewings - he'll even put it up on the ramps if you want to see all angles (he's rightly proud of the quality of work his team have done on this car over the last 2 years). Phil can be contacted at.... C+S Woods 651 Manchester Road Astley Manchester M29 7BQ 01942 892568 (The best Zed specialist in the NW - ask anyone on here!) For a spec on the car, check out my posts in the For Sale section on here.

jacked the car up and removed the undertray, laek is deinately not from rad or overflow, coolant dripping off the underdrive pulley so im thinking water pump? could it be anything else? right thats as far as i can go because i simply dnt know what to do next! all advice welcome guys yaseen call me if you can 07763628667

Someone must know of a few, really struggling to find a decent place. PPS and a couple of other places suggested are just too far away.

there was a puddle of water last night under the car and i was hoping it was just the overflow but looks like its been leaking all night, only just got up so gonna get ready and have a good look :cry:

1st was a Gunmetal Grey, K plate, totally stock looking Inc Zorst and wheels on the A14 at about 1.30pm on Thursday 19th may i was in the Honda Concerto :o trying to overtake you (and i did) :rofl: 2nd was a Blue, (like PaulC's) didnt see the reg plate as i was travelling south and you were going north, but it was deffo a UK Z on M11 at about 2.30 on Thursday 19th may. Well, was it you then?????

Hey, Just wondering if anyone knew of any good specialists in the Abingdon/Oxford area. The Z's handling feels pants at the moment with loads of wobbles and distorting massively when going over even small bumps in the road!! It's a N/A auto 1992 by the way. Just wanted to get someone to have a look at the steering assembly and the suspension. I feel that something might have to get repaired / replaced. I've been to the Nissan dealership here for something else, they seemed totally clueless about everything, so don't really want them loose on her again! Cheers in advance guys, Jon

Hi, how different, and where, is the exhaust on a SWB from a LWB? Anyone know?

... 3 pot leds, viper front, strosek rear (not wide arch) seen on humberstone road going into town bout 1015 yas

Hi all, I know this might not be the PC thing to say on this forum but I say "Say As You Find" I have recently had some trouble with working out what bearings I needed for my Z. Ended up phoning Jeff TT as he had helped me before. What can I say. He could not do enough to help, gave me al the answers I needed, made some good common sense comments, spent time finding info for me without knowing there would be any sale at the end of it. I ordered the parts from him, and his son, thanks Jamie, delivered them personally. Top notch service. I have heard that threads in Jeffs favour get deleted. I dont believe that anyone is that childish....... ;)

any views on the k+n air filter guys? was getting a second hand blitz filter (still may yet) , but have just been offered the K+N kit, not sure what to do? :confused: cheers, gaz!

Got home tonight and there is a black UK totally standard 300 outside my house FFS. I would mind at all but this one is a complete munter .. :wack: If it is someone on this Forum you should be ashamed of yourselves LMFAO. Please can you repair all the lights that are cracked to buggery, and the bodywork that is abso fooked. Gutting TBH ... Reg ... G140 VK*

I'm about to remove my rear lights and attempt to convert them to 99 Spec. I hope to be able to do it without replacing the black gooey sealant but if I can't does anyone know where I can get the sealant?

Anyone else running Greddy e-manage and Apexi AVC-R boost controller? Or with a different boost controller? I am toying with the idea of changing the Apexi for the Greddy E0-1 as i have been told my zed is not as quick as it should be which is probably down to the package not correctly set up properly. Just wondering if it would improve things if i was using the Greddy boost controller instead?

Passed a silver Z in my red Z at lunchtime today (Thurs 19th May). Was it J from Gt Ayton/Ingleby Barwick? Jonno.
