Here's the deal I wanted to get indiglo gauges for my Z, however, as you probably know, there ARE differences between the JPN / US (NA and TT) / and Euro set of gauges... Besides the US Spec NA & TT, nothing is comercially available. So I stated to look around... I would find a way to PRINT faces on transparent film (so basically I can create whatever layout I want, including Custom Jobs) i.e. Speedo up to 300 km/h .. [place permitting] Speedo up 200 mph [place permitting] Speedo in MPH only Speedo in Km/h Only Speedo in MPH (main scale) Km/h (secondary scale) And that would work for TT (160 mph in the US)and NA faces (140 mph) …

Christ, scrapped all the ice of the windows this morning, pulled off when down the road, and there was an almighty crack/bang**..//!! It came from the roof/T-bar. Stopped the car to expect a brick has landed on top and cracked my t-top to kingdom kum, but nothing can only assume it's the ice that welds the seals together, anyone else had this problem, I think I'll coat the seals in grease to prevent them from doing this over the winter period!!!!!!!

Anyone here? Was with the missus in her Micra so couldnt show support without looking a right idiot!

Just registered with this forum, had my 300 for about 8months now and I love it. Decided to treat myself (mid life crisis people say, so what! I say). It's an Auto import, in great condition 45000miles (so it says) engine sounds and runs silky smooth. Hoping to learn more about the model and keep it up to scratch with the help of you guys on this forum LOCKY

Just wondered if there were any more zed owners in the nottingham area where i work or the loughborough area where i live?????????

What does this do??? Ive had a uk manual and i now have an auto (also uk) just wondered what the switch does as i dont have it and is it just on the jap imports??????????

i have a 91 h zed in yellow. it has leather and everything but for some reason it doesent have elctric folding mirrors!!! My prvious one did though (both uk cars) Any ideas??????????????

Man, these insurance companies are real iceholes.And they say they're losing money on car insurance. Well they ain't losing money from me!! The difference between a jap and Uk spec car is pretty minimal, & if you then bear in mind the mods we do, and that we do not really care if it's a uk spec or a jap spec part i can't see what the problems is. So i'm thinking about either organising a special insurance scheme for us jap Z's or buying a Uk spec car and swopping the VIN, though I have not figured out what to do about the bulkead VIN stamp. Have youz guys any other ideas? Anyone interested in supporting an insurance scheme? Anyone know a professional c…

Bought a 91 300 import about 8 months ago (mid life crisis I'm told, but who cares) and I absolutely love it. It's in great nick and the motor is smooth and rattle free. However the car has developed a vibration which I can feel through the seat, which comes in at about 60mph. It is not affected by engine revs. I'm thinking drive/prop shaft joints or dare I say it differential. Any ideas/tips The car has clocked 45000miles, has 4 new tyres and the wheels have been balanced twice

The e-mail i posted about earlier has been sent to others on the forum, so somone here has it. Not there fault we know. BUT its titled "Vincent Devine" its doing the rounds on our e-mails. So you all know what to do. be aware.........harve.

I've now updated me rides section with new shots of. rolling road figures, smithys hard pipes, retrim in leather, plus amp to be installed buy BOB when i am up that way for a weekend, for anyone interested. http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/lack300/

Well, i know its fun and all but the handling on our Z seems dangerous. We almost went head first into this other car in it today. This thing needs something drastic to help it. One of the reasons is that u cant see which gear ur in, this results in it bring in 2nd going unnoticed until u put ur foot down where it then spins. The tryes are still on the ones from japan, how much real improvement will expensive tyres make to it? Also traction control, this being the expensive option, but i can see it making a big difference. From what i heard launch control is arse on an auto so how much is a racelogic setup like ur lots but without the launch control? I know …

So there I am driving around the one way system in Sutton this evening and I see a red Z stuck in traffic in the left lane. I'm in the right lane and although the traffic is clear, I pull up next to him and wave. And wave. And beep the horn. And wave some more. NOTHING ! Eventually news of the queue behind me comes through on the radio so I give up and drive off with a wake of w#nker signs from all the drivers behind me. Good evening Warren !!!!!!
