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

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?

Im still trying to get to the bottom of my high idle (1000 rpm) so i thought i would remove the IAA valve and give it a good clean and tbh it was quite carboned up. i noticed the adjustment screw was on half "in & out" as in pic, is this normal for a 93 TT manual? On a long run say 100 miles the car idles perfect but round town and only say 25 miles is always high.. I dont know if cleaning the IAA has worked yet but will test at weekend.

Anyone know where to get reupholstry kits for the recaro bucket seats that where commonly fitted to zeds.

anyone got a site were i can find out were things go on a zed. ? diagrams etc cus i am fitting me front bumper and i am sure there is a bracket in the arch connecting the inner wing to the bumper

Ever since I had my Z re-sprayed last year, I've been meaning to get round to taking some fresh photos which show it off in the best pose possible. So far, the best I have found are shown below, and were taken off this forum. Thanks to the donors! The one below is my favourite and the Z looks truly exotic, not to mention very modern. The one below is also very classy, and I believe is Jimmers? Not found one of the front yet, but my personal opinion is that the dead on look is the best. Does anyone have any great photos that show the Z in a very classy and exotic light?

I'm putting the new K-Sport rotors and 8 pots on next week and just wondered what brake fluid people use? I'm also changing the the gearbox oil the same time I put the short shifter in, Is there any particular gearbox oil that people recommend or is the oem stuff fine? Matt
