where you from Dunk. It may be easier to take someone with you who already owns a Z. There are lots of things to look for. Too many to list.

 

Check here for starters http://www.300zx.org.uk/tech_20.htm

Coventry, west midlands

 

will def have all the cash by the end of Feb so if anyone could help in that way nearer the time then i would really appreciate it and anyones time would be paid for (a small price to pay if i ended up with a nail...!!!)

I'm only down the road in nuneaton give me a shout if you find one local.

Hi dunk,if b19rks cant fit you in ,i maybe able,not got zed at mo but have had two last year,just let us know no probs,only down the road from you in Daventry,Tony;)

Buy mine......

 

Mechanically sound, nearly all common problems solved by me and Park Garage!

 

Good Luck.

OMG look who we have here :D:D:D

 

Only thing that will be of concern to you dunk is the asbestos hamsters. Zeds run out at about 45k miles.

 

HTH ;)

 

CheerZ,

Yeah but it's ok... because the rear silencer is full of em. A lifetime supply apparently ;) :D

Well I wondered about using the tractive properties of asbestos hamsters in my clutch but I'm not sure how well they handle slip - can anyone enlighten me on this? :D

:cool:

 

PS I am guessing they only last for such small mileage ina 300 as we have twin turbos!

Yeah, I think this board's latest member is its saviour ;)

For a Zed, with the twin turbos, I think twin hampsters must be used. This works better if they are from the same litter, and their DNA matches exactly :D

Yes I agree stu. Another thing to point out is rear seal failure on a turbo. Can Seals, Hamsters AND Cats all live comfortably in the same environment? If you remove the Cats then the Seals go - this would suggest the Cats are protecting the Seals from the Hamsters? Maybe the Cats eat the expired Hamsters as they pass out through the exhaust??? This would explain the bad egg gas smell every now and then...... :D:D:D
