after doing hard work i treated myself to a well earned KFC! YUM YUM on the way at the junction next to the radio station on new london road i saw a red zed turning right :)

Surprised this hasn't had any bids on it. Got a few nice little extras too. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-1990-NISSAN-300-ZX-TURBO-RED-UK-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ120551733390QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item1c1171788e

saw a red zed at dogmersfield near fleet yesterday at 12.00, you drove past the Queens head.I was sat in the car park stuffing a nice pasty down my neck.

Hi, Ive finally found a bung to fit the hole in the neck of my turbo what was originally drilled out to take an EGT sensor. The thing is its made out of Brass! Will this be ok and withstand the heat of the exhaust gases etc? Cheers Dan

just been looking through ebay and found this. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1991-NISSAN-300ZX-Fairlady-BLACK_W0QQitemZ120552624729QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item1c117f1259 serious word of warning, not from personal experience, but have friends in the motor trade. If this car sounds good it wont be. List of things the guy has been in a few problems with. Sells cars on owners behalf, only to get the price he wants but not what the owner does. sell a car with some warranty (only for it to die, just down the road) only to come up with excuse' you must have thrashed it' had mates ask him for the money for a sold car, only to find it had been stolen days be…

here you go funkysi..... now do you believe me when i said i think i should revert to oem side mounts for the time being? :dots: these things look worse than i thought :helpsmilie:

I think it was a 300zx, and I think it was black only saw it in my wing mirror as I was looking else where when you went past. Just near maidenhead this afternoon on the M4, you were bristol bound.

HI all, does the original spoiler come in different variations. I have seen pictures where it appears to cover the black tinted plastic on the boot and pictures where this is still visible. Are there 2 types of spoiler or is it just a case that this piece of tinted perspex is simply painted the same colour as the car in some earlier models? Cheers Peter

Well, got fed up with the water in my exhaust today, and took drastic measures. headed off down halfrauds and got my self some liquid metal. Got back to the car and jacked up the back end. whooped my drill out and set about drilling a 2mm hole in the back of the back boxes (standard exhaust) as the bolts on my exhaust are that old they are practically welded together with the rest of the join. So first back box. went through it, soon as i pierced it. water started pouring out. so grabbed a empty fanta 1.5l bottle and placed it to collect the water that was now emptying its self from the box. One side down, onto the next, again 2mm drill bit. and through it…

The other half had a very nice MX-5 before the baby come along, anyway I still get email from this place and founds this. http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/1687

was about to raise car off ground and neighbours were all saying "shouldnt have a car on 4 axle stands" "you need to have a ramp on one end". problem is gearbox dont work properly and i refuse to run my car with its broken water hoses.... there is no way i can push the rear of the car up ramp to get 18" clearance for the front to take out gearbox :( any advice? i thought i was ready but i dont have a ramp and not sure what to do now :(

so my TT fuel pump arrived today, looks just like the NA one, theres still some confusion as to what i need to replace, (3rd wire) do i need a TT fuel loom? iv got the TT fuel ecu, and main ecu - took some pics of my current setup (wires and plugs)

Does anyone have any pics of a Zed on 19s with standard ride hight? finally got some 19s but dont want to waste time fitting without lowered suspension if its going to look like an off-roader

I was looking at an auction site in Japan last night as I was thinking that it would be fun to buy a late model Zed. I've imported over 10 before... but that was over 5 years ago. Was I reading it wrong, or are prices pretty darn high? Rightfully so! ;) especially on the 1998, 99 Specs etc. What's the verdict? just cheaper, easier to find a good one over here?

Saw my first Z today (haven't seen one while I've actually been in mine). Silver parked in a layby outside Buckingham, gave you a beep as I went by :)

Usually tax it from the months of May through September....but, I've looked outside, seen the weather forecast....looks like our 2 weeks worth of summer is due right at this moment!! Kinda itching to drive it! Just a battery to buy as mine is now 5 years old and has expired!

about 5:50 pm this evening parked up by maccy d's who are you dod do do do. (csi i know im sad!!)

saw a yellow tt in pokesdown at approx 7pm tonight. was it you phil?

I passed and he didnt even get any advisories... :boat:

Now there is nothing that would make me dismantle my air con on my zed as its a vital when stuck in traffic in mid july...even the promise of 800 bhp would not make me lose it:cool2: so my question is who has it and who does not and for what reason on both counts?? Poll added so please tick your choice.

Anyone dealt with this Seller on ebay? as it looks like i may as well just recondition the turbos my self, and get them balanced separately

The black box of tricks under the o/s rear light are these prone to failing , mines been blowing the light fuse in the footwell , tracked it down to this box which was smoking when i put a fuse in , before blowing !!! Would there be a reason it could have gone or is it just one of those things that happen , after all it is 20 years old . BTW anyone got one please , ive got no lights :crying::crying: I,ll also put a wanted ad up . cheers .

Autobox put in in any gear revs go up but no drive! Where to start ?
