July usually means MOT time for the Z but due to Covid 19 all test centres are closed. This Z has never failed an MOT and I am slightly angry that there is this blank space in its MOT history but it does have an exemption till December. But then in December the Z is of the road on a sorn so it will be the Spring before it gets a proper MOT. How is MOT testing in the rest of the UK going are they still open? https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/VehicleFound?locale=en

Hi I've started to to cut the the rust out of the rear sill the inner sill as all rusted away at the bottom but I can't see how the bottom of the inner sill is welded I've looked at various pictures but still can't see thanks

I have a few things that I’m about to dump. Free to anyone who collects. North London palmers green engine bay painted covers the fibre glass ones you buy that go over the top of the suspension strutS either side etc rear lower suspension arms with poly bushes already installed. 3 point seat belt harnesses original back seats in that ugly cloth stuff i think that’s it??‍♂️

This is one for Andrew Glenn,I have been made aware of an Aug 94 registered White Uk Automatic,The VIN ends in 1113 so made before L7 but still quite possibly the last sold car maybe ? It has undergone a restoration and looks stunning now.

Being a 300zx forum, obviously we all love the Z32 otherwise we’d be driving something else, but it’d be interesting to know what other 90’s Jap cars would come close to the Z32 in your wish lists/dream car garage? I’m thinking cars such as the below; - Skylines of all shapes - Rx7’s Fc3s and Fd3s - Supra - Soarer - Nsx - S2000 - Impreza - Evo - Gto/3000gt - Celica Gt4 - Other type R Hondas; civic/integras For me personally my dream car garage would be as follows and reasons why; 1) Z32 300zx TT - because it’s perfect! 2) Rx7 Fd3s with a 20b triple rotor - noise, ease of power, handling and beautiful shape 3) Nsx facelift model of the 2000’s - beautiful…

Hi All I am trying to get my Zed back on the road after a lengthy (10 years+) period. After some kind recommendations on here I was put in touch with Jimmer, who has given me some advise. Then the fit hit the shan in March and I haven't got any further. Now it is time to get things rolling again. The front windscreen is cracked badly and requires replacement, and would be good to get this done before I send her up to Jimmer to work his magic. I have a put up a advert on here but no luck as yet. Just wondering if anyone has had to do the same and can give me any pointers. My Zed is a: 91, TT, LWB, Japanese Import. I believe the…

hi guys so I have a misfire on cylinder 6 (I think the rear cylinder next to the battery ) anyhow been right through it, spark plug is wet when i remove it, checked for spark and that seemed a bit weak so I have a s2 PTU on he car but used the adaptor harness from the series one plugs, so I hardwired the s2 plugs to my loom. I pulled the injector connector gave the injector terminals a clean, measures the resistance and it was 12.3 ohm, however put it all back together still missing, I listened to the injector with a stethoscope and it's working but it hasn't got the high pitched 'ping' of the other injectors, so after speaking to jimmer we both now think it's a faul…

Theres a thing that looks like some sort of vent/ fan in the interior underside of the T bar roof section, what is it? It makes a really weird noise sometimes

HI all, apologies if im asking a question that has been answered a thousand times before but i cant seem to find anything on his issue im having. The drivers window seems seized, physically stuck solid. the relay clicks but nothing else happens. I have only owned the Z for 4 days, unsure of its history but its clearly been sat for a few years. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi A long time ago i out a post up about intermittent window operation and had a reply saying it was probably the Amplifier not contacting properly and there was a picture guide on how to re solder it. i think the reply was from Jeff TT, what i am after is the guide on how to do it. Does anyone know how i can get it again i have tried to search but no luck !! or if anyone else has had a similar issue and done this, likewise if anyone has a working AMP they no longer need please contact. Thanks in advance Simon

I have a 1986 300zx base. I can get it to start but won't stay idle and won't take gas at all.

I was just wondering about the gold Certified by Nissan Sticker that lives on my rear quarter glass. Mine looks like it has someone's name written on the back of it. Does anyone know the story of these and what the signature signifies on the back?

I finally got round to swapping my intermittent clocks for a UK set I bought months ago. I used to know all this, but it's been a few years and my brain is older and smaller It turns out what I was sold as a series one UK set is actually a series two, so it doesn't just swap out the hole unit ? So I'm swapping the speedo unit over, that's easy enough. What I can't remember is the mileometer. I think the mileometer is fed from the output of the speedo unit (via the plug on the back) so swapping in a UK speedo into jap clocks will convert the mileometer into miles automatically? Does this sound right? Or do I need to also swap in th…

Anyone have any experience with SpecialtyZ I have an order worth nearly $2500 in with them from the 6th of the month and it just says processing. I have emailed them many times and don't get anything back so i'm abit worried now since its nearly 4 weeks.

Can anybody send me a link to enable me to download and print off a full copy of the 300 ZX TT Service Manual. Thanks Sayers

Hi is anyone running these on the z , does this work is it really plug and play ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274127664732

Hi all, been a while. Finally getting a chance to look over the Zed again. Aswell as the brake system needing looking at (at least 1 burst pipe) I have no headlights! Car is a UK 2+2 PFA of the one of the last times I drove it. a few years ago now. I could do with some advice or a steer in the right direction. At some point someone has fitted HID's to the car and done what looks like the earth mod so the flashers don't turn off the headlights. About 2 years ago I had 1 headlight randomly stop working, bulb was fine so I just fed a wire from the working one to the other and that worked for a year or so. Now I have none. The das…

Hi, I am looking to upgrade the front brakes on my 300ZX, without buying from America, does anybody know what conversions are available. I don't mind second hand. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi ive removed my fuel tank I decided to paint it before putting it back on I about to remove the filler pipe I want to know if there's a gasket between the fill pipe an tank just in case I have to replace it an are they available if need before removing thanks

Just a general question, has anybody used the sfs performance silicone pcv hose kit? I was wondering if you knew they are flouro lined to stop the oil bleeding through the hose walls. I currently have z1 silicone hoses on, they have been on the car 6/7 years, but I’ve noticed this morning oil leaking through the hose walls.

When my zed was in for paint the body shop told me they saw a small sensor hanging down around the front - had a look and its the ambient temperature sensor. Don't remember seeing it before, I had the bumper off a few days before they did and didn't do anything with it, but they said they didn't touch it either. Maybe it was just tucked up somewhere.... Anyway, I can't for the life of my find where the little b*****d is supposed to go. Service manual shows under the crash bar, but I can't see anything that lines up with the dowl and hole. Anyone got any good pictures of where it goes? Mines a 95 series 4 with auto AC, don't know if it ever changed through the years …

Nice read and nice feature of JP's Z https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/cult-classics/nissan-300zx/

So, Had an idea to drum up some old conversations that may or may not work. All i hear from my kids these days is the words challenge which can drive me nuts so i'm not going to use it again. Instead i invite you all to go find and old thread that is still relevant in most parts and add to its thread with something that is more than just a 'bump' word, add to the conversation, bring it forward and lets see what comes up. *** Only rule is that it must be at least 4 years old.
