General Discussions - 300ZX Related

I received my latest edition through the post today - and was very pleased to see a nice article on the Z32..... …..Sure, they have pinched a little from Ian Seabrook's piece from February 2013's Classic Car Weekly, but it's still raising the profile. Albeit they are a little behind the times. Jeff closed Zedworld a few years ago - they did not mention Powerzed, the very best 300zx specialist; yet they referred to Outlaw Customs...!! ...Still, good to see we get a mention as the 300zx owners club...:cool:

Hi everyone, Was wondering if anyone can help I sent off my Control light Pod to have my LED light conversion done to Groover which I have used him before with no issues, I sent it off to him and got one reply from him on the 28th February to say he has received it and will get it sorted and posted out, I've sent numerous messages and no reply which is very strange and worrying as he has never done this before, does anyone know if he is OK or if something has happened to him, any info would be great. Thank You

Oh my days ... £175 for a shed of a wiring loom !! Jeff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300zx-Z32-TWIN-TURBO-Engine-Ecu-Injector-wiring-loom-harness-24011-40p70/202302082879?fits=Car+Make%3ANissan%7CModel%3A300+ZX&epid=1916252557&hash=item2f1a24cf3f:g:lXQAAOSwBRVabyP4

Hey guys! After some thought and seven years of owning Zed, I had decided to look into selling up. But! after removing the power steering solenoid, cleaning it up and tracking down some new o-rings (which I managed to find for 50p from GTP engineering, instead of £20 plus from Nissan and a three week wait) then taking him/her out for a spin, have decided to keep him. I was wondering what oil you guys use? It's been a while since a change, due to doing so few miles and its still pretty clear. I think my usual choice is either 0-30 or 5-30? Next job... front shocks and pads

I heard from CarMad today who is still mega busy but sends his regards to all. However, David did drag his Z out recently to find a thick layer of dust on the car! A new set of tyres due to storage flat spots, a good detail and MOT has seen that right though so we can hopefully look forward to seeing another Z out and about in the coming months. [emoji41]

Guys, 3rd post of the day but need some advice! I have bought a set of wheels that I don't like on the car so.........I am looking at two different sets. The first is the easier option I guess as they come in 19's meaning I can keep my brand new tyres lol (Rota Grid type wheels) The 2nd set only come in 18's but I think are the preferred, What do you guys reckon and does anyone have similar on their car? Cheers dudes!

HI Guys, I will of course start a proper for sale thread but I need some guidance on the going rate if possible? I have a standard set of rear lights and centre panel from my car (28k original miles), they are in really nice condition just keen to get the right money for them. Can someone advise on the going rates? Thanks all, James.

not really a fan of any aftermarket rear light and I think this maybe a photoshop but boy does it look nice! (IMHO) https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwidvLLdhavbAhWJxYMKHQ12B9EQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F297870962834328658%2F&psig=AOvVaw22V6imVOBJ_-O_EXE_Z6Z0&ust=1527687545325362 Would be very hard to make I am sure!

I have just done a pointless tacky mod to my slicktop today..:lol: In my defense ........it was free:whistling: Even that probably doesnt justify doing it:laugh: The before and after pics are underwhelming............................. AFTER BEFORE

Over the last couple of weeks, my car has started to smoke when it's fully warmed up and only when idling from the offside tailpipe. After the full day driving around the lakes yesterday, it's pretty clear that performance isn't suffering but every time we pulled up for a bit, it started to smoke again! Any ideas what it could be? I have the Leyland parade in a couple of weeks, I can't have it smoking out the crowd! :lol:

Hey people, Just to let you all know, I have put my 300 on Auto trader for sale. This was a very hard decision for me to make and I am, to put it bluntly, absolutely gutted. Myself and my wife have opened a new business venture and we need funds to make it work, so the zed has to go. You may think the figure is too high, but I have valued it on the time, money and back breaking hours spent on getting my 300 to what she is today. Just spent over £4000 getting some paint work, injectors, cambelt and service (Jimmer) to get her to a saleable condition. Just thought I'd put it on here so people know it's my zed on the market. ? Many thanks guys...... Alz

I’m hoping someone might be able to explain why you would both have the same profile on both the front and rear tyres? I was just about to order a set of four new tyres when I noticed that the fronts are currently 235/40/18 when the rears are 265/35/18. Cheers, Chris.

I have just "found" this in my storage room??:whistling: It doesnt fit my slicktop. Im assuming this is for the "family" version? Can someone confirm this is a 2+2 carpet?

I've put all the interior back in, went for a test drive but no indicators. So went home & changed the fuse & they worked. Went back out but 10minites later no indicators again. Thinking maybe I've caught a wire as I've been putting the interior back in, gona check later. Anyone had this before?

Hi guys has anyone of yous done the JDM Taillight Conversion?Also is it worth doing and where did yous get the parts.also where would i get the 300zx light up pannel,seen it years before but can find it now,Thanks guys

Hi all, I have pulled out of buying two Z's in the past few months after going to view them due to being concerned about potential rust issues, patched up historical work and even recent new work that I felt was dubious. My challenge is not going to get any easier over time. As a community it seems we know where to go for parts, we know reliable people for engine work but I have no clue who I can really trust to do a great job for bodywork. Do we know of any decent bodyshops that have done work on members Z's? Is there a club recommended trader etc? I am based in the Midlands where there are plenty of bodyshops. That does not mean they are any good. Location is not an …

Right guys. As above. I’m renting a van to go to Eastbourne to collect some parts for Nina from TheRealNips. However I’ve got the van rented for the whole weekend. I am willing to drive to wherever if you guys are willing to open up your storages to let me rummage in there to find parts for my build etc etc. Give me a shout on here or text me on 07848988101 or find me on Facebook Edd Hankers. Want to make having the van worth my while and do some buys for my beloved mistress. PFA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Afternoon Guys, I see that a twinz group buy happened some time ago from CZP. Was just wondering if there was another one planned or if people where considering one in the future? Very keen to get my hands on a 2+2 bolt on diffuser :) Thanks, James.

Spotted a member at goodwood retro rides yesterday , i can't remember his name , had a good chat with the owner very helpful and a nice guy. was nice to meet a follow Z owner and member.

Hi, I have somehow managed to shear off the bolt that goes through the glass on the drivers door window. Does anyone know if it can be easily removed or is it easier to just replace the glass? I've seen the bolt for sale at Concept Z for $0.77 but they want $18 for delivery :laugh::laugh: Cheers
