Only had my Z for a few days and even though it's a bit poorly at the moment, I am deffo getting into these cars....reading up all i can on them. But i have noticed that i rarely see articles detailing the 300s *genuine* performance stats i.e. Santa Pod RWYB meets, Trax, etc etc......read about plenty of Evos, Skylines, Scoobs, Cossies, GTiRs and so on...but not much on the Z's ??? Does anyone have any links or REAL info on what a Z can do. Please no "my m8 Dave has done 185mph on the M1", i want properly timed/recorded figures i.e. no Max Power/Fast Car type quotes.... ....Top Speeds, 1/4 miles, 0-60s or 0-100mphs etc.....anything appreciated ! Cheers

I noticed that we get pages on threads now instead of having a huge list. But I have noticed that when you log on and all the updated threads are in red, you read one click back and they are all yellow again so you dont know whats new. Stuart

Been doing some research and if you have an import and are unsure of the exact date of manufacture then there are some big clues available - if you're prepared to look. This is reasonably important to me because my car was initially given a J plate rather than a K when it was imported, so this is all part of the evidence I will submit to the DVLA. 1. Seat belts have a date (year) printed on one of the little silver labels 2. On the rear light interior cover mouldings giving the month in which that batch was produced 3. On a label on the underside of the boot sound deadening giving what appears to be the date of inspection 4. On the top left hand s…

I have original body skirts/bumpers etc. and sometimes find it very difficult to avoid hitting the ground when leaving some petrol stations/mulit-storeys/turning at bottom of steep hills etc. How do you guys with even lower (and expensive and nice) aftermarket skirts stop this from happening ?

Hi all do you guy's ever meet? if so let me know the time and place. I live close to Chelmsford/southend

someone I know come round in his Z today and its generally unstable at idle and sometimes doesnt run on all cylinders, but the dodgy thing is twice it has completely burned away the electrode on the plugs in the rear 2 cylinders. Im thinking maybee to much timing advance or sticky/blocked injectors. Any other suggestions? Paul ------------------

Hi, Just need to know if there's any difference in the 2 of them. Cheers Vijay

You may know this, but worth a mention... The rim on the edges of rear wheel arches can hold a lot of mud/dirt which dries hard. This can of course hold water next to body and cause rust. So regularly check wheel arches and scrape out dirt with hands.

hi everyone sorry for posting this here but if you have any spare parts you could send me(i'm happy to pay the postage!) im copying parts into carbon fibre please look in the for sale /wanted forum thanks jay

Sorry for posting here but could anyone interested in carbon fibre parts plz look into the wanted section

i need any old parts that i can convert/copy to carbon fibre fan shroud covers throttle covers centre console covers etc etc!! ive just priced our bonnets and so far its not gonna be worth it in pure carbon fibre on a 1 off it would be 5-600 quid and it would be hard to spray paint! my mate said the fibre grain would show through eventualy,so im looking at other ways the company im using is a top performance company who make carbon parts for lowering the weight of stock parts. any parts would be appreciated ,im happy to pay the postage or will discount you on parts you want! thanks jay

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
