I was cruising along in my other car this afternoon when I saw in the distance a gleaming white bullet coming up behind me. As it got closer, I realised it was a Z and it looked absolutely stunning; more so as it shot past! Did it belong to anyone on here? Had a 99-spec spoiler. A339 in Basingstoke, around 4pm Friday.

This is my old Z, the guy who bought it an now hill climbs it.

probably a re-post. apparently this was a prototype from nissan in 1985. It had the VG30DETT engine in it. Not so keen, im glad it looks how it does now. (wikipedia stuff) First Unveiled at the 1985 Frankfurt Autoshow, the MID4 was a concept car designed by Nissan to originally go on sale in the mid-late 1980s. Nissan had aimed the MID4 to compete with European supercars from Porsche and Ferrari. The MID4 boasted a wide array of technology and features that would eventually find its way into other Nissan production cars. The MID4 prototypes would evolve into the MID4 II, though unfortunately it would never be put into production. what w…

I,m going to be fitting a new black perspex tailgate trim with the brake light in , now i prefer like the look of a led brake light compared to the crappy four bulb Nissan one which when lit looks patchy cos of the bulb arrangment. I got a damaged led one off a Merc and removed the rest of the broken red lens Tried it against the remains of my old trim to see if it could be fitted and it looks like it,ll fit with alot of trimming The tailgate trim has two mounting bolts where the light is so i wanted to keep these intact so i removed everything around them and the red lens that,s inside the trim , a bit of fettling with a belt sander and in it went …

It was the last bit of welding i needed to do , i fitted this a few years back but had to remove a fair bit of the lamp panels to do so But i want to go back to the standard style so using some cut off a scrapper i had to make good what i,d hacked off previously :blushing: So after a bit of trimming and fettling i got the new ones welded in I,m fitting the crystal lights from America and a few,s mentioned that they don,t fit quite right They curve more than a standard light so if they line up at each end the middle sticks out too far !! the only way to make it look right was to build out the rear panel a bit in these areas . This is before . …

Where the bumper mounts to the wing the studs have snapped...1 was already snapped by someone else and now I've done one each side so there's only 1 stud to put it back on with now. :whistling: I can't be the only person for this to happen to.....what's the recommended fix for holding the bumper on when this happens? Also, the brackets at each end of the wing look flimsy and are rusting - is there any need for them? I've removed the stock intake ducting and cant see anything else that they hold on?? Thanks in advance, James

Today the 300 would not start again!!!! This is the second time in a few weeks. Basically this car starts on the button everytime but now twice the car just turns over and will not fire, strong smell of fuel (not leaking) more like it floods instantly. After a few minutes of turning over she fires into life with a ploom of unburnt fuel coming out of the exhaust. Any ideas ? PS non turbo SWB manual. Thaks Dave

Guys I'm after a replacement dial kit. It needs to be White during the day, and blue/green when the lights are turned on. These are usually Plasma kits and Visual performance do a selection. However, the detail on them is to much, you know..less is more.. i used to have them on my MR2 but the company that did them http://www.speedhut.com dont do 300zx ones. If you look at the site you'll see what i mean about white/blue etc. you can even design them online.. Lockwood do plasma dial kits, but not 300zx ones. so does anyone know of a supplier of dials that might do the trick.. Rich
