Gave you the thumbs up as you passed me (I was in a dark blue Saab 9-3 Aero) :) So good to see a 300 in the flesh, been too long (and I so want another one!) :D

Any UK based suppliers that can get bearings for the zed tt. Seems a general 2 month back order from the USA for all bearings no matter what the make.

Hi to all members, I hope someone can help. I have a Nissan 300zx, z31, Year 1984, Automatic, L/H/D. Digital type Dash. Everything on Dash works, except Speedo and obviously this stops the Cruise Control from functioning. Because everything else works I am thinking it could be the Gearbox Speed Sensor. I have just Imported this car from the USA. If anybody can shine some light on this I would be delighted. Also, does anybody know a website for buying aftermarket Nissan 300 zx parts, or a good Breakers Yard who Specialise . Thanks a million. Regards, Kieran

Trying desperately to get my car back on the road... having a bit of a nightmare! I have misplaced a plenum bolt. Is anyone able to provide a spare at all? It’s one of the normal length bolts - not the short one. Thanks!

Sadly, the 52nd issue will be the last. This pandemic has wiped out some great titles. [emoji26]

I've seen 3 or 4 (might have seen one twice) from nissan now, 2 from https://nissangenuine.com/ and 2 from a local dealer and they all leave a lot to be desired. Here's a few photos of what I'm seeing Crack (where it changes colour): Swirl marks and a crack: Swirl marks: Crack on the edge: Surely this can't be normal?!? The dealers are very uninterested in helping find a decent one. Hanwell today were trying to tell me they couldn't see a crack when it was blindingly obvious. I've asked CZP if they can supply a better one, not sure what else I can do

hey all, i looking for some advice and possible more pictures of the top trim that runs across the top of the windscreen. can it be replaced with the screen in situ? has anybody got better pictures of both parts .. the best one i have found are on the z centre's website ..(https://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php/click-here-for-parts/body-exterior-trim/300zx-nissan-windscreen-top-trim) but i cant see the trim piece very well (the bit closest to the glass..

Spotted in Andover turning right onto Weyhill Road yesterday, was it anyone on here? if it was sorry i didn't let you turn?. I was the guy in the Qashqai i was admiring the car looked clean.?

I need to replace the fuel (and brake) lines that run front to back. The brake lines, my mechanic and I are happy with. The fuel lines look to be bigger, does anyone know the diameter? We think its 8mm, but need it confirming. Also what material should they be? Copper, like the brake lines? Steel which corrodes? Stainless? Can I buy preformed sections that go up and over the rear subframe? I have spent the last three days on the internet and seem to only find info about braided stainless line for the engine bay. Thanks

Just spotted this youtube video of scotty kilmer, a big time mechanic youtuber talking about selling his toyota celica for a nissan 300zx. I've watched a few of his videos in the past for servicing tips and so forth and I know he tells it like it is and doesnt bullshit, so to see him praise how easy it is to work on our cars as well and recommend buying one to collect is great in my opinion. What do you guys think?

Hi everyone been cutting rust out of the sill ready for welding ive notice that the renforcement sill was spot welded to the outer sill I can't see what strength it gives I could understand if it was welded to the inner sill I could see that giving it strength

hi guys just a quick one, just had a set of SFS silicone pcv hoses delivered and I've just noticed they don't have restrictors in or flame arrestors in the front breathers do I just swap these from my old pcv hoses or can I fit without? my current hoses are z1 silicone and they aren't flouro lined so leaking oil through the hose, at least the sfs hoses are lined.

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

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.
