Like to say a very big thanks to club Importer Garry/GazWoz who made this happen! She was manufactured in October 96 with 43k on the clock one owner from new! I'm over the moon with excitement first time ever getting one from an auction in Japan. The only thing now I have to wait 8 weeks at least for it to land in the UK, then Gary is getting the roof and bonnet resprayed in white to match the rest of the car and getting everything else ready as well with the registration etc for me to pick up. I'm just looking at ordering a new OEM steering wheel gear knob and a few other interior bits to make it look like brand new. I've got some brand new confetti Rec…

My SWB is maybe to small but would it fit a LWB? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222843904646?clk_rvr_id=1453277475132&rmvSB=true

Greetings Z enthusiasts! After much thinking I've come to the conclusion the best way to obtain my dream Z is to have Gazwoz import one for me from Japan. He's very resourceful and has vast knowledge as you already know and he has already surprised me with how fast he has acted in sourcing information on something that has caught our eye! It's in pearl white manual SWB 96 looks absolutely stunning so we'll see how it goes? If it's not the one I'm just going to play the waiting game until Gary contacts me with something that catches his eye. Exciting times ahead at least I am with somebody that knows his stuff in sourcing amazing fairladies from Japan.

Replacing my horn on my zed - any recomendations !

300's not running correctly... whilst 90% of the time it drives lovely, if left to idle sometimes (quite randomly) the revs can blip then drop down and try to stall, tiny rev and it stabilises again. Sometims under boost (say 1500-2000rpm) cruising in a higher gear you will feel the occasional mis. When going flat out it behaves perfectly under full boost, and will rev-out fine in 1st/2nd, but in 3rd once it gets to 5500 or so it hits a brick wall. So it's not a boost leak, I think a coilpack or PTU is a possibility, and failing that an injector/connection. Given it's very intermittent how do I troubleshoot to find out or is it a case of suck-it-and-see wi…

Making a big Conceptz order today. Anyone need anything added ?

Has anyone experienced this before? After about one minute after starting the engine, there is a sort of screeching noise coming from it. Drive for more than a few hundred yards and it goes. All belts, pulleys and idlers have been replaced as part of a full service. Only does it when the engine is cold If you have experienced this before and know what the answer is I would be grateful

Im sure some of you seen this one , but if someone didnt have a look , they do look pretty good I think . I really like sequential indicators , wonder how it will look when all light up been still hidden behind 99spec covers if you know what I mean :ph34r: https://www.instagram.com/zledslights/?hl=en

Hi I'm having an issue with my Z it starts up fine then 20 seconds later she runs like a pig, spluttering and popping, I can rev up and drive her but she's not right, I have changed the plugs but no change????

Peeps My Varrstoen lug nuts have seen much better days, so I’d like to replace them. Really, I’d like a set of Rays Duralumin red anodised nuts, but at £186 for a set they’re just too dam expensive. Ideally I’d like to stick with red, short, closed end lug nuts but not finding any that aren’t cheep Chinese tat. Recommendations please!

I haven't used my zed much lately and the last couple of times I've started it, it's run rough for the first mile then it's been fine. I just put this down to damp through lack of use and didn't think much of it. I tried to start it today and it turns over, but won't start. I can hear the fuel pump priming when I turn the ignition on and I've got a spark. I removed the cas and turned it by hand and I can hear the injectors firing. Has anyone got any suggestions ?

Hi, if anyone is breaking a TK3 Z and have the following panels in mint condition, then please let me know. 1) Pass side Targa. 2) Pass Side door. All to suit a 93 J Spec LWB TT, ( not sure if any of that makes any real difference). Ta Sayers

Went to the petrol station yesterday and I had some trouble opening the flap.... Is there a way of tightening the wire as it feels as though it's just stretched over time?

Hey guys. Is this all I need to install the directional blower?

just been on Z32 wiki for a look and a message popped up that the site is closing down! thats alot of info about the Z32 going to disappear! :sad: dan.

Simon's "Baja" post reminded me of this gem which appeared on TT.net. If you can stand over 7 minutes of this stuff.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUV2HJd7ihM

Moron cuts off the back end of a clean 300zx claiming to be making a baja Z. :lol: The levels of mongaloidary are waaayyyy off the scale.

Hi, can anyone advise where to Purchase a complete Brake caliper rebuild kit, including pistons, Thanks Sayers

A bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone (who is based in the Soth)is going near Bradford in the next couple of weeks, that could pick up a set of wheels for me? Willing to cover any costs etc

Apparently a Datsun Z car - assume it'll be a 240.

Has anyone had a slightly squeaky or noisy slip ring/squib? Mine has a very slightly squeak at 3/4 turn and continues from the same spot at the next turn. I assume it's the slip ring as it sounds like it's plastic squeaking against plastic. Has anyone had similar and used a bit of lube to quieten? I'd imagine a small blob of PTFE grease would cure it, but could it be anything else?

Had my car in for timing belt and related parts, track down a boost leak and general check over. While it was there, I also managed to visit the Haynes museum and Funkysi before picking up the next day. All good. Thanks Jim.

Caught a glimpse of a 300zx whilst watching Goblin Garage today. Familiar to anyone?

On to the next stage of sorting the blue wide arch out. The central locking. This has 2 issues, not sure they'd be related at all but thoughts on both would be awesome if anyone can help. 1. When using the alarm fob, it's like it's the wrong way round. So when you turn the car off and set the alarm on, the door is unlocked, so I still have to then use the key to lock it and have the alarm on. Likewise, to start the car, the alarm fob has the door locked. Could this be something silly like 2 wires round the wrong way somewhere? 2. The passenger door does not lock or open with the central locking. This is both from the alarm fob and also doesn't do anythin…
