Hi all,

 

Just got my pack through so thought I would introduce myself.

 

Have bought a project car - it's a silver LWB TT auto, reg G25 SCK. The car is an import, reasonably modified with a rare bodykit.

It needs alot of TLC, which I hope to give it to restore it to its original beauty. It used to belong to a lady called Gill who regularly ran it at Santa Pod I understand, so it could be the making of a good 300!

 

Extra parts on it include -

Hiro body kit (apparently quite rare??),

Tein Type Flex coilovers with Tein Pillow Ball Tension Rods and the Tein EDFC,

Apexi SAFC,

Apexi AVCR,

HKS Turbo Timer,

Twin HKS SSQV BOV's,

Custom in one downpipes and decats in s/s,

Twin Trust 5.2" Exhausts,

Custom leather interior - cream/black,

Custom Rerouted engine cooling system re-routed to bypass the throttle bodies,

HKS ALC autobox controller,

HKS Boost Gauge,

Custom Rear Brake light incorporated into the Spoiler (360 degree LEDs),

Custom Vents in front wings,

Venom Rear LED Lights,

Intercooler Hardpipes,

Mocal 19 row oil cooler for Engine + inline thermostat,

Mocal 16 row oil cooler for autobox + inline thermostat,

Mines induction kit,

BMW Titanium Silver paint (resprayed 8 years ago apparently),

EGR system removed,

extreme custom chip - it revs to 8300rpm!,

Bomex vented headlight panel,

Clifford alarm with intellistart (remote start),

Vented bonnet,

and 18" dark grey alloys.

 

It needs a good service, mapping and the fueling checked as I think it is running too lean, but apparently made over 360bhp ATF at Thor Racing years ago (and a similar amount of torque). The bodywork is the worst - rust, peeling lacquer, but all recoverable. As I say, a nice little project!

Cheers,

Greg

Welcome Greg, your just up the road from some of us lot, good luck in your project, oh and post some pics up as its the law!!!

Welcome mate as above PICS A MUST!!

Dorset is 300zx central, quite a few in this area now. Its not got a high level rear spoiler has it?

Glad you got your pack Greg and it would be good to see that Hiro kit you have on your zed.

Yes, it has a high level spoiler - probably too high unless I really need the downforce!

Pics will come once it has stopped raining. I have some old pics of it below.

if that car just needs tlc mine needs scrapping lol thats a tidy car and welcome

Ah it's that one, you bought that from charminster in Bournemouth.

Interesting kit Greg not sure if I like it but if its rare then its something that no one else has. Do the back wheels need spaced out more to fill the arch extensions?

Welcome Greg - and thanks for sharing the pics of your car!! Good luck with your purchase mate.....

 

Richard:punk:

Ive been in that car.....

not in the back seat I hope lol:clap:

Knowing Steve he has been Everywhere in that car lol

lol ive even been under it.....

Welcome along Bud interesting looking car mate and I like them seats !!!

Welcome Greg :thumbup:

Thanks all! Yes, I am sure many people have been in a car that is 22 years old - don't worry, I won't ask!

Actually, I don't want to know!

Need to get bodywork looked at so any recommendations gratefully received.

Sort the bonnet first it was causing electrical issues im pretty sure.

Yes - it has three vents and was leaking water onto the battery and other electrics. It's on the list to do!

Welcome

Welcome buddy from another Bournemouth member good luck with the work will be ace to see it when it's all done :)

It's a project, so like many 300's on here, it will take time, but it will be nice again soon. Aiming to have it reasonably good for Japfest as I'll be going with the DJCC.

Ive been in that car.....

 

Me too!

I knew the owner a loooong time ago...

 

This is the car that introduced me to Zed's.

Not my cup of tea.... but anyway I owe it something!

 

Sorry to bring this up, but I just noticed it sold, and had a quick search.

Yes, I have now got the 300 bug. This time it is a '93 manual also in silver.

Welcome to the forum Greg, nice Zed you got there.
