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

wot size deep socket is needed for the NGK PFR6B-11C i had to look around and cant find a answer .. any help much appreciated :shuriken:

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. Harry (Little REDZED) is so chuffed and will be posting some pics up tomorrow. Long story, but back to title now : Can anyone give me info regarding changing a 1991, jap import, na, manual, to a tt manual. 1/Just wondered if na gearbox could be used or would it be good idea to change engine and box ?(Thinking ratios different and if tt engine upgraded it would probably rip n…

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.

Z4... &*$%&.. :cursing:... new technology that gives cars the ability to stick to your bumper like glue.... I need more power...LOL....

Is chrome paint illegal?

Anyone herd of this Motul Sport (ester) 100% synthetic 5/50 and retails at £56.28 for 5 ltr or shall i stick with semi sym with minrals in car done 85k and im about to do a flush because i hav a sticky lifter?

Looks mint! Real nice car for someone. http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_popup.jsp?did=12896&pageid=2&originalid=&gid=nogroup&tid=40&start=2&distance=0&adcategory=cars&channel=DEALERPAGE&id=201020359538753

Other than the visual differences, are there any dimensional differences? Fancy ditching the steel spare of the LWB for the alloy one of the SWB. Do they secure down ok in the same way as that of the LWB?

I,ve had a go at my pump today after all the warnings about pressurising a blocked off hicas section of the pump , this is what i,ve found . After AndyGP had mentioned about removing vanes i thought i,d best open up the pump and have a look. The pump looks to have two seperate sections that work sepearately from each other , front section powering the steering rack and rear section for the Hicas hence why there is a split feed on top of the pump . It,s just the rear that needs attention , on previous threads it,s been said to remove the spring and valve which i have done , i then removed the backplate exposing the Hicas oil pump . The top plate just lifts of…

Hi guys I was wondering, is it possible to fit a tailgate into the back of a LWB zed, i need to go and collect one, but haven't got anything else available at this time.. Rich

Ok , I know what most are going to say,I dont like it too, but here me out!! I dont like a stock rear end and need some sort of rear valance! so i purchased this little number below with the idea of cutting/chopping/adding to make it resemble the beautiful twinz peru rear!! but to be quite honest i cant be arsed now :yawn: So... do i splash out and buy the real deal? or have you guys any suggestion of what will look good? I dont really want to spend all that money and buy a twinz and with my car being black i will loose most of the detail. I`ve looked at other diffusers from other cars and thought of smoothing it on this bumper i have at the moment, my mate at the…

Bit of a strange question this, but here go's: Does anybody own/or know somebody who owns a Z32 TT that was down at ZTECH about 2 years back (before they moved) having a replacement engine fitted? I believe it was on Northern Ireland plates: 'OIL ----'
