General Discussions - 300ZX Related

Last night I crashed my ZX and it was my fault. Now I need parts to fix it. If you can give me some info where to find the rear section of the car i would really appreciate it. Is there anyone in this forum who is breaking a Z? Can u give me some phonenumbers of places where to look? Parts required. a) Rear spoiler b) Rear pumber c) Middle and Right Rear lights d) All the plastics that covers the lights e) The rear right wing. f) The rear mirror (most preferably the whole thing) It would be much better if I can find a complete rear section rather than parts Any help? Thanks

Strosek even... What are the widest 18" wheels/tyres available to go with the wide arch kit when I've eventually saved up? Need to work out how much the new wheels are going to be... I have 17" wheels at the moment with 255's on the rear and 235's (i think) on the front at the moment but theres just too much wheelspin even in the dry! I am talking LARGE tyres please! Who has the biggest on the forum? Ooh err missus. [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 25-01-2002).]

Everyone is buying and selling 300'z left right and centre and here is me still trying to sell mine. I've posted the spec many times, but here goes again 1990 85000 miles Manual UK Spec Twin Turbo T Bar Black Great ICE system New egine and turbo's Good alarm system Good condition throughout. I know I have been asking quite a lot for this but thats only because of the £3500 I paid for engine and turbo's, but as i'm kinda gagging to sell it (should not say that I know) I'm willing to take some offers, or could anyone recomend me a good price to advertise it for Thanks Matt

Hi guys, As you all know by now I've been having some problems with my engine making funny rattling noises. I can best describe the noise as the noise the engine produces in a manual trans car when you're trying to pull away in too high a gear - i.e., your valves start fluttering. The thing is that my engine (A/T) only produces this noise when it has been thoroughly warmed up and only in the top two gears (i.e., 4th and O/D)when accellerating lightly. I was just sitting here thinking (as you do) and thought that perhaps my hydrolic lifters are causing this noise. My problem is that I know nothing about them and would really appreciate someone giving me the lowdo…

Where are you matey ? No response to my email and I need that gearbox soon-ish. Plans are afoot ... CheerZ

This is probably a really daft question but what where the option's on the ZX's, do they all come with cruise control etc, forgive me for asking a simple question but i'm new here.

Has every one seen the www.hotornot.com site? If not where have you been? Basically you see a picture of some one and you give a mark out of 10 for them. Here is the car version http://showyourcar.com/home Click on import and give some marks for the cars. There are a few 300ZX's in there too.

Paul mate... you get the chip I sent ok? ------------------ Glen :)

So anyway.. the lovely Mrs Turbo is taking the Rottie to the vet: In the waiting room are 2 other Rottweilers, looking decidedly nervous... So... there they all are when one of the other Rots says "what you here for" to the second Rot "well" says the doggie "I caught someone trying to break into my masters car and pounced on the blagger tearing out his throat, the robber died and im here to be put to sleep..." "Oh" replies the 2nd Rot "me too, caught someone breaking into my masters house and chewed his leg off..here to be put to sleep too".. The two Rotties look up at Mrs Turbo and then ask Turbo-Rott what he is in for.. "My masters wife was bent over th…

Having spoken to Nico. I know that both the guys are stressing with the work load coming their way from adverse reactions from this forum. As a result of this they may give this forum a wide birth in the future. Now this is purely from a Z owner standpoint as I have known Nick probably as long as I have owned a Z. I know we would all agree this forum without doubt has been a well managed, constructive, funny and frustrating platform for all of us who wish too air our frustrations, experiences, jokes and sorrows. Long may it live. Right How about we all post our top Porn sights lol.

Sitting comfortably! Then i'll begin. Last year we went to Edinburgh to see 'rellies', i planned a shopping trip to GPS' on the way home , sweet shop syndrome. Long we end was pukka, fishin', many beers, & top hospitality. Even rang Andyduff on the way up to try & meet, but timing was wrong. Time to head home was shopping time, cash in pocket adrenalin pumpin' ok Penninington here we come. But after a very confused conversation with a garage owner just outside Barrow-In-Ferness HERE He said are you loking for the Grasshopper bloke, "yes mate".....he said he was in Leeds somwhere. wtf. He gets so many people looking for you Johnny-you wouldn'…

Just come back from an evening course, 50 mile drive home. EXCELLENT. Wot a lovely night it was for a drive. First time the roads were dry for ages. But no one wants to race. Shame.

Just talking to MAC 1 re Sunday meet I need some directions he also mentioned might be a chance of meeting on way up (i have the map reading skills of Mark Thatcher) i'll be coming from Northampton Cheers Jamie

hi to u all see "bazz" post

Hi Guy's Can anybody please tell me if a twin turbo exhaust from cat's back. Will fit my Non-turbo. Or can it be made to fit with small amount of work. Or is it a no no. Any info much appreciated. cheers Dave.

Help! Has anyone got a picture of the passenger side turbo - if possible attached to the engine (so from the pass side of the engine, out of the car I mean), or if not, off the engine is fine.. I'm trying to work out where the two coolant feeds go on it.. I know one comes up more or less next to the turbo outlet, but I can't see the other one.. Thanks all!

anybody got any nice alloys for sale cash waiting anything considered cheerz

LOL Hope you guys see the humerous side of this? I think you will. Me and a few of the late night weekend club have been wondering how you are going to keep up over the weekend periods! ROFL Will you be setting up a shift pattern to monitor us Gremlins who have been fed after midnight and can be very naughty in the early hours of the morning etc??? We, the Naughty Hellfire Z Club, just have this image of some poor moderator having to stay up all night in his PJ's with swan vestas holding his or her preverbial eyelids open whilst we post over night drivel! What say you on how you will deal with this dilemma? Or maybe we could start an anyth…

Anyone know where the 200sx munchkin is? Where are ya mate? Been a bit quiet lately???

So I'm a pisshead ------------------

OK, so I only got round to it when I'm selling the car but at least it happened eventually. Those of you who REALLY want a V8 exhaust note, check out http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/hairsy/ Dave

Just to piss some people off! Rang today, 2 rings later he answers, gives a great price on Blitz zorts and induction. Rings me back 2 minutes later and hey presto both will be with me tommorrow! Oh and Iain, Johnny said your Z's too slow mate!

Yep - it's another "Was it you" thread. I've seen a metallic blue Zed parked up in Frimley Green (Surrey) on a couple of occasions. Looks like a UK car (I only saw it from a distance). So, anyone wanna own up? Maybe your blue Zed and my blue Zed could become friends....
