Going to start this thread for members to post up what they did each day to there zed. I will start with getting my MOT this morning. So what did you do today on your 300?:cool3:

It’s available in WHSmiths Gary so should’nt be hard to find, it’s a great feature for my “fetteled” 300ZX! This one is a lot more focused on my Z specifically as apposed to the marque in general but still nice to get the name out there and perk interest. I’m still surprised that they wanted to run a feature on the car without a wild body kit or 1000BHP!

They did feature a Z32 last year with about 700 HP, reportedly.

I get the feeling those days are over for jap cars (thank god), ok maybe the horse power thing is still relevant but body kits are looking like a thing of the past. 99% of the really respected 300 tend to be the OEM+ now. :thumbup:

Very true and while I still like some of the well made Jap kits its good to see we have moved on from the boy racer days.

That’s not the case for the magazine in general though!

Yes, the mag front cover seems to suggest that body kits are still rife however I don’t see many cars with them fitted anymore

:surrender: i totaly surrender, had 2 hours spare this evening and everything conspired against me, generator ran out of fuel so used a hacksaw till my arm said no more when cutting a nut of , mrs kept calling and texting about crap all so in the end got 1 of the exhausts off and 1 bolt undone on the otherside the other 2 nuts will need cutting off there probably older than my kids. tommorow is another day :sleep:

Never knew Banzai was still being published. That must be all the Jap mags your 300ZX has been highlighted in JP. Will try and find one but if not buy online. :rockon:

 

Not all of them Gary, keep your eyes peeled for the July edition of Japanese Performance magazine!

so used a hacksaw till my arm said no more when cutting a nut of , other 2 nuts will need cutting off

 

The Saw franchise are taking things to a whole new level! :helpsmilie::death::pinch:

Buy yourself a nut splitter. Life changing :D

i used the nutsplitter it did most of the nut but still had to hacksaw it :censored:

That’s odd. Normally they just destroy the nut.

Thanks Richard and how's your Z coming along?

 

Shouldn't be too long now Gary.....:clover:

Teach na Uachtarán.

 

 

Car test tomorrow.

Over the last few weeks she's gone from this

To this

Came up sweet after a good wash and a spray of demonshine

Will be taking her to Bicester Heritage tomorrow, and hopefully won't overheat on the way in like I did the first time...

Well after the mind melded vulcan nuts came of the exhaust, i now just have the heat shield and driveshaft then gearbox hopefully willl be off :sorcerer:

After discovering the Zed has not boost 2 years ago, I finally took a trip to Bristol for Jimmer to fix! Stop off in Reading to have lunch with my daughter, who's at University, then back to Geddington

I decided to bite the bullet last week and get my alloys refurbished. Even though they were brand new a couple of years ago, they'd picked up some kerb rash and looked generally a bit tatty! :(

 

So now they're back and finished in Anthracite, which isn't really all that different to how they looked originally. But gone GONE are the stretched tyres on the back wheels! She's wearing Goodyear Eagle F1 ASYM2 rubber in 265/30/19 size and it's a much better fit. Although I have had to raise the rear ride height a little to compensate.

 

Anyhoo, I spent this afternoon cleaning the old girl as she's off to her first show of the year tomorrow. It'll be a rare day off work, if nothing else....

First thing I think whenever I see stretched tyres is how long are those wheels gonna last!

Remember to drain it before you take the prop out

:mad: 1 top nut on the gearbox left to do and i'm done for the day :crying:

Some people get a spanner on from the top, but personally I do it with 4 extensions, and you can undo the tranny mount and tip the engine a bit if you need.

 

Try both methods.

Ratchet spanner from above is my preference.
