Hi All Am new to your great forum, but wondered if any of you could offer some assistance. I recently acquired a 1990 Twin Turbo, but the starter motor has gone. My question is: 'What degree of difficulty is there in removing the motor? Is it easily accessable, or do I have to start removing other parts in order to get to it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks Sammy

Dark grey Zed at the M6 end of the M58 this afternoon, about 4.45pm.

Im thinking of buying a 300zx as my next car. But I find it hard to find really good ones for sale. It seems 95% are dogs. Is it still possible to get for example a 1994 or above with 50,000mlies or less on the clock, Unmodified in anyway, black or silver with full leather and air con ect? If so where cause most on autotrader web site look older and high miles. Also whats the running costs like ? I no my insurance would probably be over £1000 as im only 26. Also when did they stop making 300zx's Iv seen models as new as 1999 but i thought they stopped making them years before that? And is there any garages that can handel the likes of a z in central scotland?

as above...you were heading away from the A1M junction into stevenage...I was going opposite way on full boost...would of given you a royal wave but I was just getting straightend out after exiting sideways off the roundabout so thought id leave that one ;) looked like you acknowledged a fellow zed but i was in a black one so thus...going much to fast to see mate :smw:

spotted a bayside blue z today just outside westbury on severn heading towards chepstow looked like speedfreak would have flashed lights but was in my bmw

Hi guys. Went round Brands Hatch yesterday abd it was brilliant. Easily the fastest car in my class (the novice class, it was my 1st track day and i was lapping everyone and eating Porsche turbos!). :dance: Trouble is that the session before the last one my car was smoking on idle and shortly before the end of the session I had to come in coz the car didnt feel right. Now i can only hear the left BOV and the engine sounds like its misfiring (sounds like a boxer engine). Any ideas would be most appreciated Thanks Bensjammin

I want to fit some of the chrome m3 mirrors from halfords. Trouble is (obviously) they dont do a 300zx back plate to fit the mirrors to Just wondered if anyone has experimented fitting these ? And if so which back plates did they buy and modify ? Im simply not spending 250 quid on Veilside ones. So £40 for a trial on M3 ones seems fair to me Bring on the slagging off ......................................

i need help quick have got my maf off cause i think that is where my running prob lies i.e finding it hard to accelorate below 3000 revs. got it in front of me and there is a rusty screw where my sus blitz filter fastens on to the maf so it will need drying (i have recently found out the problem with fitting this filter) but what i need to know is the rod that hangs down inside the maf looks all black with dirt is there a special cleaner for this or is wd40 and a cloth ok. i know to be gentle with the thin wire. thanx in advance for any help :bow:

JD, Kirbs, Eric, anyone? Cheers Yaseen

This section is only available for official subscribed traders of 300zx.co.uk and is only visible to Committee Moderators and Traders. This section will be used for communication between all three parties. One of the reasons for this section is that I am getting real tired of chasing odd Traders around the board selling what ever they choose to sell on the day and not sticking to the Gentleman’s agreement that is currently in place. If you would like a free for all to sell whatever you like on the board it will put a few of you out of business as you are here to make a living and not some kind of charity to the members of this club. However you pay the fees and as TLO…

With a few probs in the general classified section with members getting messed around by some people, any other traders been hit by bad payers ? not paid at all ? If you have, maybe we could have a list, just so others could be wary when dealing with. Only major one i have is a mark swaby username bigstarcars. Cheers Smithy Oh and thanks to Admin for this section, am sure it will prove worthwhile :)

I want to replace the bulbs in my headlights but I can't find schematics on workshop manual. Do I have to remove the front panel and take the headlight units out? I do not seem to be able to get to back of units otherwise.

Think I saw your motor Gio parked up in the car park in Frimley about 4pm this afternoon. Going by the number plate I'm am guessing it is your Zed.

as with most zeds my brakes are s.h.1.t what would be a good replacement for my tired old brakes cant afford expensive set up so cheapest option only please :D
