Hello guys, Can someone do me a favour and take a picture of how the boot floor (the 3/4 pieces of wood) are made up. I need to make tehm and can't remember how they go. Cheers Vijay

Hello, I just obtained (for free) 1987 300ZX no turbo. The engine seems OK, the tranny needs work, the tops are missing, body has no rust, the car has been rear-ended, I plan to replace old lights on the back with round ones from Corvette, Supra, or Skyline. (whichever I can fit) I need all help possible to locate parts, and any tips possible from anyone who has similar vehile, or did the job. Other than getting it to run (first priority) how do you guys go about general restoration, locating parts, etc. I will be coming up with more detailed info, and questions, but I would love some head-ups of what to do and what to avoid. Also, I plan to kee…

Just had to tell someone Just been out for a fag at the office in Coventry, only to see a load of kids trying to grind down the hand rails of the steps to a car park. Must say, looked impressive when the 13 year old punk made it, but even more impressive when he almost took some old womans head off and ended up on his ass, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA My god i need to go home

Just crusin round Heathrow airport when my 300 suddenly developed a deathly squeal. When i checked under the bonnet, the fan seemed at a funny angle, causing it to collide with the belts and me coolant was gushing on to the floor! Is this the water pump? if not, answers on a postcard please! could it have caused any damage to the engine! and finally, do all 300's look as mean as mine on the back of a recovery truck!!!!!!!!!!Had the car 2 weeks and on first name terms wiv most AA employees

I would like to own a 300zx. manual, dark or red. targa, UK spec. Please reply as finding a good one is a nightmare. Ivan

Early evening yesterday, London bound, a red Z on the hard shoulder just after the Marlborough junction. Did not see anybody with the car (G reg), which was unusual.

Just had a set of four Toyo Proxes fitted (265 35 18 back and 235 40 18 front). Got them for £528 including delivery and VAT, plus £30 for a local garage to fit them. I can honestly say these are the best tyres I have ever bought for my Z. I've had Pirelli P-zeros which were bloody awful. I've had Bridgestone SO2s (I think!) which were OK. I finally settled on using Yokohama AVS sports which I found great and used for about four sets. But after reading someone's opinions on the Toyos on here, and bearing in mind they were cheaper, I decided to give them a go. Glad I did. Brilliant tyre. Loads and loads of grip. Very progressive in the dry and the wet. Little bit…

...that when your out and about that 'other' sports car owners will never look at you or your car? . The only people that look are bystanders or the ones driving mondeos etc. etc.? Just wandered how many of you lot have noticed the same thing or is it a'regional' thing (doubt it?). Tony

OK, so how do you check for an injector pulse? Thats it.. Thanx!

how much should i expect to pay to get a gearbox reconned? mines on 100k now and its something I would like to get done in the future for a little treat (its a manual by the way) I am thinking about collecting a list of common prices for jobs on zeds as a guidline for not getting ripped off Mike

Hi All, I have to replace my damaged rear steering rack. It's actually only one of the connecting arms and bolt that's bent - would it be easier to replace just the arm or is it likely I've damaged the the power cylinder etc too?? (not leaking). Anybody got a how to relating to this?? TIA! RobH

Hello, I have been asked to send an international postal order by registered mail to Japan in $, but I've been to the post office and I they can only do it in £ - any ideas?? Cheers Vijay

I cant get on. With any of my many alases. Stuart

Help needed if at all poss. I am stumped but it could be something simple. It is a 1990 auto turbo (yes the car is in park mode) but have tried all other modes just in case. Worked fine for a long drive, came back home went out five mins later and nothing. Batery and everything seem fine, alarm is working correctly but when I turn the key to start nothing happens. I have replaced the relay but the startmotor etc just wont click in. What else could it be? thanks in advance

Can't see anywhere?
