I have been a member of this forum now for about 3months but i dont have a 'Z'!. But the first ever post I made on the forum was asking advice on 'importing a Z!!' Well I pick my 300zx on thursday!!! from Dover! - and i have never even sat in one, let alone drove one I drive a 998cc Austin metro at the moment!, and the 300zx is a TT manual. So i just thought id tell you all because im excited, and ill tell you what i think on the Friday!! Thanks for now! Tom

just wondering about people who have changed the dial faces on their clocks, how they did it. I've seen it mentioned that if it's done wrong (when the needles are removed), then that's it - the dials are screwed. Is there anyway of putting on the faces without removing any needles? Cheers Vijay

Hi folks, Just joined the ranks of 300zx owners this weekend. Having been envious of a friends '90 jap import non turbo for a good few months I couldn't resist when he gave me first refusal on it. Plan was just to keep it for the summer then sell it on but I'm already starting to feel it may be a much longer relationship than that!! Anyway, I've got a couple of little niggles with it you guys may be able to help me with. Firstly, the mirrors both wobble at speed. Is there an easy way to tighten these up or fix it. Also, odo and trip meters are not working. I have seen a web page by Henri Le Hir that seems to suggest how to fix this problem. Has an…

For, Nearside rear wheel bearing & the infamous propshaft bearing. Many thanks harve

Just coming home from work about 10 mins ago and the bloody car started to misfire again!!!!What the f**k can it be cos its just come back from a month at nissan and they said the only thing wrong with it was the MAS.If its not right tomorrow i'm taking it straight back to chorley as its got a 1 year warranty on it.I have a sneaking suspision thats its going to cost me a fortune as they will say its something new, and i'm fast running out of money to keep repairing it.If it does cost me, then that will be it for me so if anyone is interested in in buying a very good zed with a few things done to it then give me a ring or email your number and once its running properly aga…

Hi Guy's Can anybody tell me if there is a Train Station near PPS, if so which one is it. Trying to work out if i can get home again if i leave my car for a little bodywork fixing. Cheers Dave.

How much do you guys reckon the zed is worth? 1991 H Import Pearl White Twin turbo Auto Leather Stock except for jasma exhaust (poor condition, but stock system available) and K&N elements 63,000 miles Pretty poor body condition, complete with scratches and big dent in the drivers door. cat2 immobiliser Thanks :)

strange but true i have just got my car out of hibernation [oct 02] and found that it vibrates through the car on a nice flat road, The feeling is just like running over white line or rumble type lines? is this due to propshaft? and if so what is the best way to go and were can i get done locally if poss. Also when reving the car seems to reviberate through car. On a different subject were can i get uprated pads. cheers Dave ............... b4 you ask uk tt auto 91:confused: :confused:

Hi, I'm importing a few cars and one of them is a Black G reg Auto Twin Turbo. It's in imaculate condition and only has around 40,000 miles on the clock. I'm gonna put it onto Autotrader and other places, but I was just wondering if anyone had any idea what it was worth, I was thinkin around 5 1/2 grand cos of the condition and miles, and the fact is in original condition and spec. Anyway, what do you guys think? P.S it has a tv fitted, haha.

Set of 4 17" split Rims for sale. Not great condition, new front tyres (rears balding) Any offers? Dan

Hello guys, I need to load windows onto a laptop that has been formatted. The only thing is it hasn't got a floppy drive so I can't use a start-up disk. It has a cd rom and I've tried changing the setup to check cd first on boot-up, but it won't recognise any operating system. Any ideas? Cheers Vijay

Hi mate can you get in toouch with me.....its jason.. jiz300@aol.com......ta....its about your stereo.

I know a lot of people here have new or non-standard Turbo's in their zeds, what I'm trying to find out is; 1. What Turbo's have people gone for 2. Who did the work 3. How much it all costs? If I'm going to replace my turbo's (and according to Jeff mine are worn so I'm going to have to replace them one day) I want to make sure that a good job is done.. Had the usual suggestions of people like Abbey Motorsport and SE, but as usual turning to my best resource for advice... you lot and your experience! :)

Hi all, got both bulbs need replacing in the driving lamps at the front, already been told Halfords H1's are what I need so I have a pair of those.... but how do I go about removing the lights? Both screws idly turn at the front so I'm guessing there's a nut round the back? or am I doing this all wrong!??! :)

OOOO EERRRRRR Missus My TSW hockenheim wheels have got a centre plate with a large nut holding this covering plate on! Anyway this nut is seized and after many attempts with plus gas it is still locked on, any ideas!!

Wheres the rides section gone peeps ? been away for a while with work and its gone ?

Evening All. Just joined what seems to be a merry band of ZX owners (old and normally aspirated, bit like yours truly). Question is, I appear to have a dud oil pressure gauge, is this common? any advice would be appreciated, also any suggestions for decent garages in the croydon/ surrey area

Hi Guys My car's come with 225/55/16's on the front and 225/50/16's on the rear! Will the extra 5% profile on the fronts significantly upset the handling? Unfortunately they've plenty of tread so I don't really want to replace them unnecessarily. Cheers Jon

I have been given first refusal on a 1988 ZX300 2+2 in black. It has t-top and is in generaly decent condition inside and out, other than it desperately needs a good scrub down. The car is in its original state, even the wheels are the originals. Seems quite unusual though in the body styling department...rear lights are right across, similar to some late Sylvia's, with the numberplate on bumper, and the front end looking slightly 'Corvette Stingray' like. The engine sounds good, pulls well, new top rad hose required but otherwise sound. Couple of surface areas of metalworm but noting too serious. Interior is butterscotch cord with leather inserts, also in very good…

Does anyone know where to get some from int he UK, I have tried the Z Centre but there going to be out of stock for the next few weeks. Help! Mike
