Hi everyone, i am just looking/about to buy my first 300zx which is also my first boosted car..cant wait! I will post up pics as soon as i get her, hopefully soon as...!

 

Its also my first non-Ford, as every car i have owned so far has been Ford from Fiesta through to my current car the Mondeo ST24, always loved/wanted a jap car just never been able to have one, but after a big crash last year i can now afford it!

 

Hope to speak to you all on here, and will love to come to some meets when she arrives!

 

See you around

welcome and i look forward to the pics. what year is it, manual? auto? etc etc???

welcome, i used to own a very nice mk3 fiesta rs1800, loved that motor, best seats ive ever sat in lol

Welcome to the Club :D

Welcome

thanks for the warm welcome! its a black, manual, 1990, targa, 40k, import, said its been mapped at z world, running 370hp, will have a look and see if i like it. Prefer to have less miles as the other one i was offered was a red, UK car, 1993, targa, standard but with 120k on the clock, and for more money.

 

Was that the correct move..?

Feckin hell mate stick with the import! Less miles and aslong as it aint been in the country for ages it wont have any rust whereas you can almost guarantee you'll find some/alot on a UK zed with 120k miles!

 

HTH

sounds like you have a good un there m8

Welcome mate, fairly local to me, i can get to guildford in 1/2 hour, plus there are a few closer. Any advice, put it up here.

Welcome to the world of Turbo Nuts!

Welcome matey :) Sounds like you've got a nice zed there.

had my test drive and look around it today, and all i can say is...oh my goodness, these zeds arent slow..! was quite nice, there are a few spots of paintwork needing touching up, but will all be sorted out by my sprayer, the interior is a nice mix of leather and alcantara, will getting the two new rear tires and its new mot on friday so will have it home friday afternoon and post the pics up...if i make it home..! lol

Hi and welcome to the club! :D

Good luck with the car search.

thanks for the comments guys, i picked up my 300zx on friday! its black, 40k miles, import, TT, targa roof, re-upholstered with leather and alcantara, running 370bhp (to be tested) and loving it..! got a brand new MOT on it...BUT...

 

...driving to work on sunday morning (2 days after delivery) i was on the roundabout before work, i was pulling out of the corner, hit boost and when correcting just overcooked it and smashed into an island. i had a quick look underneath and came see both wishbones are bent and on the front suspension, there is a horizontal bar which seems to hold the wheel straight and level which has snapped...anyone know what this is?

 

i didnt want to drive it home so have left it at my secured car park in the office i work at in the airport but also need to find a 300zx specialist in the South East (...??) which could take a look and fix it for me..?

 

any help is really appreciated and i will get pics up soon!

 

p.s anyone know where i can get some 300zx driving lessons..?! lol
