Found some spare time this weekend to start fitting some more bits to the car, will post some pics soon but fitting Oil temp gauge (if I find some where to screw the sensor in) 2nd oil change after the rebuild so might as well fit the accusump at last EWP electric water pump and controller to try to get her to run cooler!

Just wondered if anyone has any pictures of this vehicle in their Z folders on the computer? nice rims :thumbup:

The windscreen and rooftop trim on the drivers side of my slicktop is missing. From what Mike Feeney has told me they are a real pain in the ar$e to get delivered undamaged. Does anybody know if there are other options to using the OEM trim? Did I read in a post a long time ago that Legrath did something different with his? I'm interested to find out what other options there are, if any, and pics would be great. (Didn't know whether to put the query in this section or help and advise. If its wrong mod's - don't hesitate in changing it)

Will the bolt pattern 5x100 and 38 offset fit on a Zed ? Cheerz Chris

since putting my car back on the road (approx 2 months ago) i looked nder her last week when changing the exhaust and i noticed a lot of gearbox oil splattered along the exhaust. now what i did was to clean it up to try and see where its leaking from. i have run it this week and today decided to get her up in the air to investigate further, after removing exhaust,prop and lowering the gearbox down at the back again! it looks as if the oil is leaking from the breather WHY? don't think i have overfilled it and the oil seems to be level/ marginly below the filler point. now i know oil goes a long way so its probably only an egg cup full which has leaked but its e…

On the cradlewell bypass, looks a nice clean example

i had a search and i know alot of people chrome the headlight inserts, but could they be painted any colour and still be legal? i was just thinking of either spraying mine matt black as i don't like the faded grey look, or maybe red to match the rest of the car?

Sent you payment for the BIN tray and sent you a PM with details not sure if you have seen it yet

Im changing my plenum oven to a powder coated one so i will need a new set of gaskets. what exactly will i need, what price should i expect to pay and where is it best to get these from? thanks nick

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

Before i finish compiling my list for MJP, does anyone know where i can get the brass bushes for the gearstick or will Mike be able to get them? Cheers Graham

In case anyone's interested

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!
