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:

Dusted the zed off. Looking at some places to do a little work on the body before it goes up for sale as the garage is needed for my new toy.

Took mine out this evening for the first time (that wasn’t going to MOT and back!)

Took to the garage, stuck some V Power and redex in to give it a clean as it’ll have some old petrol in it!

Petrol gauge sort of works, didn’t go as high as I expected but it did register, so that’s a plus.

Dropped it off at a local garage who are going to do all the belts and a water pump for me!

Not today but I did collect the zed this week from Powerzed...new rear main seal and clutch, new series 2 injectors and wiring loom, new fluids (engine, gearbox, diff), plenum deletes and Jimmer went the extra mile to make the plenum look like new. Plus a bunch more and it has made a world of a difference, the car runs so smooth now, the drive back was an absolute blast.

Huge props to Jimmer and Powerzed.

Weekend trip to Ashbourne, Castleton,Cromford.

Today back to Capel Le Ferne from Oakhill Hotel Cromford 220 miles

In Ashbourne we stayed at the Royal Oak, lovely warm welcome, good food, great value.

Unfortunately cannot say the same at Oakhill which cost nearly twice as much!

Finally finished my engine

Stripped down two engines today to the block to transplant a set of higher rated cams, springs and lifters.

Removed my fuel pump

Nice motor

Yesterday I replaced the air filter - then gave the Zed a clean and wipe down with Blazing Banana spray wax, before putting it back in the garage after using it as a daily last week.

I always buy a universal K&N cone "dry" filter for about £40 on Ebay. It does a decent job and instead of cleaning it I just throw it away and replace every two years. I must have left the last one on a bit longer though, as it was pretty black and gungy 🫢

I must be lucky removed mine in 2024 from my 1991

Only opened a box today . . . .

I didn’t do it but a local specialist did this week, cut out the rear portion of the sill where is corroded collecting cack as they do. Replaced the metal and re-shutz’d it. An oil change with a new Nissan oil filter. Straight through the MOT with no advisories. The sill is getting painted this week once the shultz has dried properly and then a good polish.

Updated the graphic to make it more zed related :)

yes, that is my current engine build, maybe he can fix it better than i can.

Injectors are in, all that's left to do is everything else 😄

Monday took the slick top for a mot, first drive in 18 months, "what is this bumpy gocart, why did I like it" (my daily is anew defender)

Wednesday took it to work. "I remember why I love it"

Have an issue with my oil pump so need to pull the block again :(

So , gearbox, starter motor , exhaust and drive shaft all back off,

Engine prepped again to be pulled out tomorrow if i can.

What's everyone been up to ?

Surely your zed isn't sitting doing nothing this year !

I'm trying to workout how to get all this cabling under the kick plate and put the carpet back in.

Replacement front valance arrived.

Managed to crack the old one driving out my garage a few weeks ago.

Drove it hard at Goodwood. Z performed flawlessly all day, what a rush!

Today I refreshed the "Twin Turbo" badge on my plenum. It was letting the engine bay down, after Jimmer worked his magic last month.....😉

....So I found a sticker on Ebay, which fits over the OEM badge - for a fraction of the cost of a new badge from Japan. If it doesn't last, then I'll shell out for a new badge, But for now, this looks OK!!

Hi all, tomorrow I am hoping to get my windscreen replaced!

3 months ago my windscreen developed a crack on the passenger’s side.

My insurance company told me to contact Autoglass which I did.

3 months later they informed me they could not source a windscreen.

It took me 2 days to track one down with YTW windscreens

And Pilkinton Glass can make them to order!

Now l have the windscreen with no clear precise instructions on how to get the side panels off without destroying them along with braking plastic clips & robber stoppers along the way that are nearly 30 years old.

Here are some photos

How to take off the side panel?

First lift the top up off the rail ! Do not bend it !,

When that is done the whole side panel slides out! Not with 30 years of dirt along the rails they don’t!

I have new side panels arriving at a cost of around £189

I have also ordered new side pillar trim Retainers as it suggested, but not needed !

Cost £216

The windscreen cost £654

Plus £200 windscreen fitted

Added insensitives £36 scuttle clips -square ones

£28 for new top plastic clips

All for love😀300ZX

I confidently took my zed round the block a few times today for the first time in over 8 years.

I even gave it a bit of boost and OMG - that was impressive.

Still a bit away from an MOT as i need to get the zed back up on stands and put all the engine covers on.

Aswell as prep work like get the reverse and fog lights working again.
