Well, ive just failed my MOT... nothing bad really, just need to do some welding on the quarterpanels and sills and stuff, standard affair really... However, since this will push the total bill since i got the car to around £5000 (£3k car, then £400 tyres, £600 clutch, £300 misc bits and bobs, then £700 welding repair) im feeling a little skint and sorry for myself. So... as a bit of a group sympathy session, does anyone have any horror stories about sizeable chunks of wonga consumed by your zeds? Anyone spent a whole lot more than me and still going strong? but then again... if you had 4 grand... which would you buy? This... :no: or this: …

Hi, I`ve just noticed today that I`ve only got full beam lights? If i turn the switch to side lights I get nothing and then switch again to the main lights its just the full beam and the blue dash bulb lights up, I pulled the stalk back and fourth and nothing happens, any suggestions? Daz

Hi, does anyone know if and where I can get my grubby little hands on a haynes workshop manual for my 1990 zed? The only thing I can find online is one covering the older models upto 1989 and also the freebie one to view online. Cheers.

Very fortunate to now own these and wondered if anyone recognised them? Regards Dave

I got a mate who has a supra mk v,its an na,anyway its a lovely car built well great engine ,interior etc but he seems to always think his is much better than my 300, says hold price and going up in price 300s going down in price which annoys me,i know toyota stalled on releaseing it cos 300zx shocked them to the core but why are the supras much more expensive than the 300zx or is it me am i bitter?

Insurance companies really do take the biscuit sometimes, dealt with a customers request for a bronze replacement windscreen for an import zed. The owner had through their insurer been directed to the approved windscreen company for a replacement, unfortunately they only had blue glass in stock and wanted to fit that, but the owner rejected the idea in favour of the correct bronze glass. The windscreen company made enquiries about the correct screen from Nissan, best part of £800 and 4 weeks back order to boot!! but no bother a month wait to get the correct part is no biggy. However the windscreen company required authorisation for the more expensive windscre…

Hi All, Just wondered if anyone on here has had any experience with these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300517572375&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT They look ok from the pics but before making any choices i'd like to have the opinion of someone that has bought them if possible. I'd be looking for them in white and black. Also, how much do you reakon an upholsterer would charge to fit them?

get a loan though as its not going for small change http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-300zx-manual-series-4-/170605300764?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27b8de4c1c

Id like to extend a public thank you to Andy Isherwood and Pablito for helping get a replacement front fog light after i lost the front glass in my other one lol Anyway, yes yes i know my car needs a bloody good clean on the out side. its just been way to cold to get out with a bucket of water and a sponge at the moment, but anyway some photos of her. Yes the bumper does need respraying as ive had some scrapes on speed humps around my area. unfortunately unavoidable as they have bread like rabbits. My cam covers came out nice :D Need to redo my pin stripes on the rear lights as they are peeling badly lol And my bodge job that i …

Hi Jeff Just to say that I had the Scorpion exhaust fitted today as part of my MOT and I just wanted to let you know that it sounds FANTASTIC !!!!! The guy who fitted it commented that it was an exceptional system and reckoned it would last the life of the car and then some ! So thanks for spotting my 'wanted' post. I am a very happy chappy :thumbup: To anyone thinking of getting a 2nd hand system I would recommend Scorpion all day.....if you can find one. Mark

The other day there my sub has randomly started making a buzzing sound which gets louder and starts to pop and crackle! There's no rhyme or reason to it as it cuts in and out when it feels like it :/ The set up was in the car when I bought it so have no idea how it's been wired :/ It's a 15" sub, 2 Amps, 1 Farad power cap, 2x 6x9's, 4x smaller speakers and 2 tweeters if thats any help?

Hi guys, where can I get a new starter motor for the z32 tt? It's a manual if that makes any odds. Do Nissan still sell them, and if so, does anybody know the part no? Thanks

That's the new front end on and she's back on the road so got some pics yesterday when the sun was out! Planning to change the nosecone at the end ofthe month when I get paid and get a different grille!

Is it legal to display/use an old style black and white rear license plate in place of a standard yellow and black plate on a 1991 300zx? Just looking to rid the car of yellow.... lol. I seem to remember someone has an old style rear plate, but i may be wrong. Cheerz, Al.

ive had the boot trim out today and i found some bits, firstly a set of 6m hydrolic hoses going into a box under a rubber dome? something to do with the hicas? and a little black box on teh driovers side clipped into the tail light.

Been looking at hoses again for my car recently on the zcentre. Do the SFS performance brake vacuum hoses fit a na auto? Bit confused with all the options and differences between tt and na :confused1: Im interested as zcentre say they can get them in purple :) As im writing this im getting the feeling like I have asked this before :lol: Cheers

The 300ZX also holds the E/BMS land speed record of 419.84 km/h (260.87 mph) from the 1991 Bonneville Speed Trial.[8] Hey, just found this? This is a cut from wikipidia, does anyone else have any more info on it as I`ve never heard this before?
