hey everyone, just wanted to start a nother thread on my zx as my old one was over a year ago and it wasnt on the road back then. Well its now finally on the road, after 2 years on the drive being started every few weeks or so, i bought the car off my dad and got it moted and taxed and now having lots of fun just pottering around in it. I love how it drives being nice and low to the ground and corners superbly ive never drove anything like it, as you allknow the 300zx is a brilliant car to drive, im very happy lol. Mine is a non turbo 1990 h reg manual, i wudlike a twin turbo in the future but im only 20 non turbo is more than enough power for me lol.

I think for its age its ahead of its time, seeing any other h reg cars around they look ancient compared the 300zx's, and i really do feel like im driving a classic supercar driving the zx, love having people shout nice car and turning heads where ever it goes as im sure all of you have experienced too, its great. Ive been driving it almost 2 weeks now, and on my previous thread im mentioned it crunches gear on the high revs, well it hasnt done it since i think i wasnt used to the car or clutch and its been fine since, ive gone from a 3.2 v6 vauxhall frontera to the zx so its a huge difference being really high up in a 4x4 to a low sports car lol.

Heres some recent pics from the past 2 weeks of my zx

Your car looks great mate although never really been keen on the centre part of the front nose. The way it changes angle from the hood and centre piece.

 

Really like the fenders though :)

cheers mate, wen i bought the car it already had this bodykit on, not sure howlong its been on the car, itwas imported in 2004 so proberly sometime after that, i think when i get another zx in the future i want a standard looking one.

yes a little boy racery for me, although the actual car looks in good shape mate

Car looks very nice and clean mate. :bow:

thanks again for the replies ur all very helpful and friendly, it seems that the front bumper isnt very popular amongst some of u lol, i like it as it makes it look different but i wud get a more standard example for my next zx. I have been using the zx as a daily car as i cant afford 2 cars cuz i dnt have that much money and insurance is 150 quid a month on this with my dad on there aswell, i dont really like parking the zx on car parks or on its own for a long period of time im worryed about it getting vandalised or something like that :(. And im sure zx's aint too good on the road wen the winters here with the ice and snow we get ? lol, will be good for drifting on a empty car park though lol.

I will add some more pics soon, i am thinking of keeping this car a long time, maybe wen i can afford it get a second car and use the zx for best ? i wud love to do a mini meet with some local zx owners very soon ?

thaks hollings for ur kind comment, i went there for my exhaust as it had a hole in it before i got it moted so they put brand new cat back system on the car, as it was blowing before.

And thanks mate urs looks lovely in ur pics we shud meet up sometime n see each others cars properly ?

welcome mate nice car hope you enjoy it .

nice car mate, not keem either on the bumper, but i do love how it's blended into the wings, looks a very tidy car matey! :) welcome pal, there is a world of knowledge and knowledgeable people at your disposal right here, enjoy the beast!

Very nice and clean!:taz:

hey everyone just a quick question, the oil pressure gauge is always showing different figures, sometimes its on around 4 and sometimes itl be almost 0 ?? i was driving it late last night and it was on almost 0 for the whole time i drove it for around 25 mins ? also at low revs it makes a bit of a whinning noise sounds like the gearbox ? wen u accelorate or raise the revs the noise goes away, so example if im at 30 mph in 4th gear and then increase the speed itl make a whine ?? i hope it isnt something drastic, i was wondering if itl need a service and maybe new gearbox oil as its been standing for 2 years ? thanks everyone

id service it anyway if its been standing for that long?!? oil gauge has done the same on all my zed's mate (ive had 4 now) so i would say its just a stupid gauge?

 

as for the whining, could be belts or somthing similar, does it do it when you accelerate hard or all the time? or maby prob bearing? brakes? power steering pump? (as the pump whines a little on mine, but mainly at slow maneuvering speeds)

 

could be a number of things i supose? get it checked by an expert mate, just incase.

Welcome to the club....

 

....and your car looks familiar; although there may be a few around with similar registration numbers....
