Hi all my names Mark and im a new z owner from Camden Town London. Ive wanted one for years having admired them as a child and recently the wife finally agreed to let me get one as a project. So i picked a 91 Twin Turbo up from eastbourne for 560 quid and to say she needs work is an understatement. She does run but i think theres a misfire and she overheats after a short time of running her. Now theres no oil in the water shes dumping so im happy its not a headcasket but i do need a water pump...

 

Anyways thought id say high

 

 

As you can see the engine bay is very tired

welcome to the forums :)

Welcome to the club Mark and you have your work cut out on your UK 300zx It would be good to see it back to its former glory so good luck:clover:

Welcome mate, and all the best with the work ! :)

Hi mark and welcome,was that car on e bay per chance ?

Hello & welcome! Have fun restoring it :D

welcome mark you come to the right place for advice to put her right what part of Camden you from I lived by the jewish free school osney crecent

Welcome to the forum Mark. I remember that car on eBay not so long back. Good luck with the restoration, I'm breaking my UK spec so let me know if there's any specific UK bits you need :yes:

welcome to the fold! :)

Welcome...

 

Be nice to see it returned to her former glory. Glad someone with deeeeep pockets bought it

Yea it was on ebay and yes it will take a while but i got plenty of cash to get her right - baz i msged you about the steering wheel im after a new one as the one in this is to far gone.

You may have plenty of money but how much skin have you got on you knuckles? Most jobs seem to require a certain amount of blood and skin to be sacrificed.

 

Also welcome along!

Hehe that's true I've already cut my fingers and that was just cleaning her

The plan is to get her back to original spec and build then once she's back to her former glory ill set about doing the mods I want

Glad to have you here mate...5 months ago i bought a zed not much better than yours and after working on it every night since, on saturday it sailed through its MOT with flying colours so it is possible to bring yours back to fine fettle:cool3:

Ty guys and znut that's the idea I love these cars and I'm willing to put the time and money in to get the car I've dreamt of for years

if you have 2 rear seats it`s LWB 2+2

uk car were only available in a lwb or 2+2 format with twin turbo engines, no shorties, no swbs, no slick tops or convertibles, they are all imports. if its uk which it is then its a 2+2 twinturbo

agh ty very much sos im abit of an idiot just making sure i get all the right info before i start buying the bigger parts
