Im after a pic if anyone has one of the gearbox plate/gusset with the angled brackets attached, i think i might have a bracket missing as the side near the oil filter doesn't match up. Many thanks Graham

I am from Ireland and was just wondering if ever a 300zx was first sold in England or are they all imports.thanks

Hey Folks, For the ones of you that are lucky enough to have garages to keep your cars in; what is the ideal size garage that is needed to fit the car in and also to allow you to get out? The misses and I have been looking at houses and all the garages I have seen have been quite pathetic, probably big enough to get a smart car in and comfortably manage to get out of. Obviously the bigger the better but the minimum comfortably required would be handy :) It seems like the older the house the bigger the garage! Cheers, Dave. Can someone edit the title to something that represents the text please, my laptop had a spazzy 5 mins :)

Not sure if i'm being a bit special but I have tried a search and I can't find the dimensions of the zed; width and length, I would measure mine but it's in the garage having the brakes done. The misses and I are looking to buy our first house together and my only stipulation is a garage large enough for the zed and tools! Looking for LWB size, most garages I have seen have been quite small and as the ones who have met me will know i'm a bit of a big fella so I need to find a garage that I can park the car in and actually get out of :) Cheers in advance, Dave

Due to funds and time the Z is finally back on the road and has now covered its first 100 miles faultlessly (Thank God !) . Thanks everyone for advise that I required at the time, especially "vodkashots" who kindly offered to come and help if I went engine replacement route.

Hi all, Would any one have or know of a club member looking to sell a vented bonnet? Be it carbon fibre. Thanks Kash

Been looking around local to me (Somerset) to find a garage that I can take the Zed who should know what they are looking at!! For general problem solving servicing and so on. Found these guys in Yeovil "Performance 3000", any body heard of them, and if so good bad indifferent.

Who have you used to service your 300zx in the Wiltshire area and would recommend to other 300zx owners!

I parked my van infront of your car (as i had a job on the parking site office). It was a G reg, Black import Manual with blacked out fender repeaters and a shiny handbrake and gearknob. You were there around 2pm onwards

hi does anyone know if there is a repair service in the uk for my leaky shock absorber as apparently they are fully serviceable ??? many thanks............lee

Having just bought my first Zed, I'm very happy with it. (Except I've just wrecked two of my tyres from having been a tool and bouncing it into a kerb but that's another story. :sad: ) Anyway, I hadn't noticed it before, but at idle there seems to be a very feint tapping noise coming from behind the dash. My heart sunk as I immediately thought, 'bottom end', but I can't hear it from under the bonnet. It is almost unnoticeable and I can't really hear it any better from under the car either. Any of you guys got any idea what it might be? (Please let it be something other than my engine!! :crying: )

I know you will all love this Zed Ive found forsale on the net.The best is the number plate it says it all.

Hi, Some of you might know im rebuilding my Zed from the ground up either replacing or restoring practicly everything. Here is a few things ive been doing apart from work on the Engine and suspension. The pictures really dont show the quality of the carbon parts. Ive got the pods and clock surround to come.
