Hi all,

 

My name's Adam from Nottingham. I have a 1992 JDM 300ZX Twin Turbo which I have owned for about a year now.

 

 

 

It has the following modifications currently-

 

Stainless Exhaust & Apexi Filter

Blitz Access ECU

Greddy Profec Boost Controller

Lightweight Prop Shaft

Injen Chrome Intercooler Hardpipes

Braided Fuel Lines

Silicon Coolant & PCV Hoses

Chrome all over the engine bay (thinking of removing some of it)

Replaced the front lights with earlier spec dark headlamps as one of the previous owners fitted lights with silver inserts which I wasn't as keen on.

 

Advan Siena 2 Wheels with Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrical Tyres

KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks with Eibach Springs

K-Sport 8 Pot Big Brake Calipers

 

'99-Spec Rear light panels with LED Fogs & Reverse Lights

Later type dash pod with climate control.

 

It had a 99 spec front bumper when I bought it but had a slight mishap with a pheasent late last year and it wasnt repairable. Replaced it with an early spec front bumper which I think I prefer (although I wish I had the strip sprayed matt black) so will be sticking with that when I eventually have the car resprayed.

 

Next plans are an engine rebuild with new turbos later in the year.

Hi Adem .. nice to see another member close to me .. Not many around here :)

 

see you around mate

Hi Mark,

 

Yes I used to see a few around Nottingham where the owners all had the cars for a long time but they seem to have all gone!!

 

I've seen a house in Nott'm with 2 lovely modified 300's outside (a white and a red)

 

Adam

that will be ceejay on here .. his and his wifes .. u need to stop buy and say hello :)

Ah you bought that from Kurt (username sunbeam)... Before that the car belonged to a user on here called zxeyes if you want to check the history etc :-)

I will at some point, I normally pass their house about 7 in the morning though so not sure if they would appreciate that :-)

 

Are there any local meets around Nottm/Derby?

 

Yeah it was Kurt, real nice guy. He gave me a massive wad of history with the car, even has the original Japanese dealers documents!! I think it belonged to somebody called Isaac before him (think that might be zxeyes?)

i havent got any dates in yet for meeting but im sure i can sort one soon

Hello & welcome :)

Welcome to the forum Adam :)

Yeah Isaac was zxeyes. I drove your car when Kurt owned it, pulls very well! :-)

Hi and welcome Adam :thumbup1:

And I'm sure the wheels used to belong to funkysi, before he bought his 19" bbs lm's

Yup yup

Hi matey, welcome to the nut house, everything you need is here.

Welcome to the madhouse :)

Cheers for the welcome everyone!

 

I recognise that name funkysi, think theres a vid of his car on Youtube somewhere. Is it a white one with 99 rear spoiler and Veilside exhaust?

 

Joely it does pull very well but got very smoky after the last oil & filter change. Suspect it was running thicker oil as I have put Mobil 1 10w40 in at the oil change, but I hardly used it between May & October last year as I was working away and I think Kurt had it standing for a bit so all that sitting around can't have helped.

 

It's just bellowing smoke out between 5 and 20 mins of it being started from cold. Thinking of putting some 15w50 in to tide me over till I have the rebuild done.
