Bloody number plates, commissioned mark Darby to get me a sticker number plate made up by his sign guy, its now on the front of my motor, so no longer have the stealth look :( Why we need a front mounting number plate is beyond me, but there ya go (i do know some reasons, but they make the cars look horrible) Oh and a big thank you to mark for sorting it out, full size, reflective but as a sticker.

Whats this? I've seen some Z's with it and some without... If its optional, why do people remove them?

Never seen this one before, but some interesting time comparisons....not far off F2 pace (albeit not a VG in sight).... and faster than Craig Lowndes in his V8 Supercar!! Australian Touring Car Championship Oran Park Raceway has hosted a round of the Australian Touring Car Championship every year since 1971. 2008 was the final year of Oran Park in the V8 Supercar Championship Series. Allan Moffat and Mark Skaife are the most successful drivers at Oran Park in the ATCC, with six round wins each. The first ever race in 1971 saw Moffat in his Ford Boss 302 Mustang and Bob Jane driving his 427 cui powered Chevrolet…

Just wondered if anyone had a rough idea on what my car was worth in it's present condition... It's a 1992 UK 300ZX Twin Turbo in Red with 146K on the clock, modified with a +70BHP EEPROM/boost increase/air filter, nice alloys, aftermarket rear lights. MOT is 13th April next year. It's had some rust issues in the past but seems they've all been addressed (extensive service history, lots at Zed World) although there's the odd rust bubble here and there. The paint is faded, quite badly in places, but I know it can easily be touched up/restored with t-cut and elbow grease - already started doing one or two patches; time and the weather is my enemy. The car has…

my body works mate just sent some more pics for me so as per usual I will pass them on Not fantastic pics but give a sneek peek!!:biggrin: Hopefully Mid Jan The girl comes home :biggrin::clap:

I use the road quite a bit and never noticed it but it looks fairly settled on the driveway! The Medway New Year meet could be quite big!

okay one for the sparkies out there, the contact has come away from the rear window demist element , i was told to buy some conductive glue , which i did , to stick the thing back in position, trouble is, it is like water , and in a word not sticky ,i followed the instructions , made sure everything was clean etc etc however even after being held in position overnight it just did not seem to do anything and the contact just fell off again , does anyone know of a sure fire way to re attach the wire contact, im hoping that there is a conductive type double sided sticky pad or similar, i cant be the only one to have experienced this issue, ta sayers

Will be Making these but for bigger speakers 6.5" and with a Tilt so the speaker is more facing the Driver/passenger for better sound Carpet or Leatherette Can supply uncovered to

Hi guys, Just changed the oil, although it looked more like mayo ! I've noticed a loud whine whine seems to be coming from the bottom of the engine, it quietened down a bit once the new oil had circulated the engine but i don't want to run it too much incase its something serious. I've uploaded this video however it stands out more on my phone than than it does on my Mac, hopefully you can hear it? [video=youtube_share;eiRttYI-Ii4]http://youtu.be/eiRttYI-Ii4 Cheers guys.

Hi there i have just got my first zx and not to sure how things should work etc so my well be posting a couple of times on here. Any way to the point, it looks like my turbo gauge is not working the thing is always in the middle and does not move. Is there some thing i need to check to make sure connected etc or have i got to take the thing out and clean. Any help would be great many thanks.

Following on from the flooding of my Zed (see here http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?165739-The-end-of-my-Zed) I pretty much began my search for another with the idea being to buy a cheap one that I can build up again. I found one on ebay which didn't work out (no hard feelings ;) ) so had to temporarily abandon my search... However, after 7 gash gargling hours on trains and a 4 hour drive home I am now a (non flooded) Z owner again. Albeit a tired one... Yes he did buy the Slicktop and he DID bring it to its new home in Wales :D I had to sell my Range Rover and Defender to do it but got there in the end! Many thanks to Quavey for his patience, c…

if i only knew how much work is involved in reburbishing them wheel would never done them :) wanna do them in white matt ... what do you think ? before after

finally the old girls got a clean bill of health. :clap: £420 to have all the brake pipes replaced front to back & top to bottom with copper, and thrown stainless steel braided lines on to replace the rubber flexis. Slowly getting shot of all the rusty bits, after £300 last month to have the lower rear quarter sill chopped out, welded, rear arch bubble removed, and panel resprayed, and i've got to say, its the best colour match I have ever seen on a silver car... you wouldnt know it had been done, which if anyone out there has a silver motor, you know is damn near impossible! :punk:

............ Well sort of ! Haha. Obviously getting a lot of white smoke out the back, the amount of water still in the exhaust pipes was a surprise. It started as soo as the pressure had dumped the water over the floor. Seems to run smoothly however if I rev it a bit it nearly stalls as the idle recovers to normal, seems to be idling about 700ish rpm. Main drama I have the engine still runs after the key has been removed, it turns off after about 30 seconds. I think the turbo timer is knackered as the screen on it is saying zero!

I live in Worthing my Zed TT Auto is going back on the road Feb/March 2013 is there anyone on here in my area who knows what yhey're looking at and can help???

Hey peeps can anyone give me some advice on how best to polish the lips on my alloys? There already polished but gone dull also there's some pitting but no kerbing, what best to use and in what order to use them? Cheers

evening all went out in my zed this evening for the first time in weeks and noticed i could feel the gears mesh from first to second,, im guessing the synchromesh may be going im not to worryed at the mo. i would like the gear box rebuilt at some point and not replaced with a second hand one so i can keep the car original anyone had this done before if so how much and where ,,i guess the clutch is worth doing at the same time

Just received a hks oil filter, i got suckered in to better oil pressure and better filtration claims . Only £20 has any one else used one of these, there a bit shorter than a nissan one as well.:yes:

Hi Techies If I tap on forum>Favourites it shows 300zx Owners Club and states 'You are not logged into this forum' BUT if I then Tap on the £00zx Club....... I get shown ALL forums, even those restricted to subscribed members only Is this right ? Or is it a configuration problem ? Tony

just wondered if the H shaped Cats section on TT's is a universal size regardless of make? as need to replace the cat. another question is: if I want to de-cat.. will it be just a simple replacement for the mid-section?

Can anyone please recommend a decent garage in North London/herts area for Mot's and some minor repairs. Only had the ZX a few weeks and finding it hard to find somewhere i can trust without travelling too far.

After trying Everything possible to try and sort my Z running problems out, I eventually gave my car to Jeff at Zed world for him to have a tinker with and after a week I've now got the car back and it is running better than it ever has done in all the time I have owned her. I am so impressed with the way I was treated and there pricing structure. I would not trust my Z to anyone else now. So a very BIG thankyou To Jeff and Zed World for all your hard work.... It was a very enjoyable drive home..... :thumbup:
