Hi there,

 

I'm now the proud owner of a Red Import 1995 non turbo 300zx!! Great car, loving it so far. I've owned a 1990 Honda prelude for the past 6 years but felt I deserved something a little better!

 

I'm based in south London and would love to here any advice about the best people down this way to look after the car mechanically?

 

Also It has old Japanese tyres on it, they're cracking slightly and has wear on the front inside of the tyres (tracking, Camber issues?) Should I get this sorted when I get new tyres?

 

At the mo I have 235/45/17 on the front and 255/40/17 on the rear. Should I just replace these tyre sizes exactly with Falkens? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Cheers, adz

Welcome to the club fella, sounds like you need new tyres but I would get the tracking done first.

Hi ande welcome to the club, there are a couple of people who deal with zeds, depending on where in London you are.

I would get the tracking done when you get new tyres, the camber wont be an issue if its on stock shocks and springs, ie: not lowered.

Tyre size the same as you have, its about right for 17's and Falkens are the most popular for the money and quality.

Get some pics up and have a search around the site, theres some good info to be had, which might answer some questions you might have.

Thanks guys,

 

Groover I'm based in Streatham south london if there's anyone you know nearby that would be great. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow, my girlfriend is a photographer so I'll get her to do'em!!

Not so much in London, but Ascot or Kent. There will no doubt be members in your area who can offer advice or lend a hand but they are the 2 im thinking of who can do more, who are closest to you.

Welcome Matey :)

Thanks Groover, What is the one in Ascot? That's not to far. cheers

Welcome to the club !

Hi mate, welcome to the club, Silverbullit is based in Ascot and he knows his stuff, good guy too. (he is a member on here so you can contact him via the site) Likewise i have heard very good things about D2 who i believe are based in south east or east london i think.

 

Get some pics up bud. :thumbup1:

Cheers Pablito, That's very good to know.

 

Quick question. I brought the car with 55K on the clock and full service history. I know the cam/timing Belt hasn't been changed yet. Do I have to do it at 60K even if my car isn't twin turbo? many thanks.

Yes mate, it is advisible to do it anyway for peace of mind, makes no difference if its a TT or an N/A.

Thanks for the welcome guys. You're all right, forums for info about cars make all the difference! Mark, I went to test drive the Legend right next to the Race course. car dealership. It was a bling condition car for the money but the handling sucked!! Hence why I now own a Z...cheers

Hi and welcome aboard, as afore mentioned you're certainly in the right place for zed knowledge, but we need some pics of your zed on here mate!

welcome looking forward those pics!:laugh:
