Hi to you all!

New member looking for his first SWB Manual n/a so TT.! Anyone know of anything around?? All help much appreciated!

Thanks

Dom

Hello and welcome - and good luck in your search for a Zed....:cool:

 

Being in Bristol, you're best placed for the best 300zx mechanic in the UK - Jimmer - once you have acquired your dream car!!

Hi and thanks for the warm welcome!!! I will keep his name ready for when the wheels. Nw for the hard bit- finding an actual car

Cheers!

Welcome Dom, a fine choice to get yourself a 300zx. Just to confirm, your search criteria is either an N/A or a twin turbo?

Hi and yes, correct! Not that bothered by engine. Love the swb shape. I know I’m being shallow :)

thanks!

Welcome Dom and the SWB is a good choice;)

You aren’t alone matey, many folk prefer the 2+0 over the 2+2, we won’t judge your choices here! What sort of budget do you have to find your dream car?

I think I have enough for a right car. Haven’t set anything budget wise as I’m not sure what’s out there! I have a feeling I will struggle to find one thoug!! Thanks for your reply

Is the red one yours?! If so I’m very jealous :))))

Haha, yes I have a red one but it’s too long for you! [emoji6] There are still plenty of good cars being sold, my only advice would be to buy the best you can afford. If you see a car you like, inside or outside of the club, feel free to ask members questions about it. There’s a good chance that it either has history that’s known about or there may be a member local that can check it out for you. Good luck with the search dude.

Welcome to the club. Hope you find your dream car.

Thanks for your advice! It’s very helpful and I’m sure I will have more questions to ask going forward....

Thank you!!!

Thanks!!!

I might be selling my swb but wont be for a few months yet. It's currently being painted, then it'll be going to jimmer for a new clutch & flywheel. It's not gonna be cheap though, it's a swb n.a. manual slicktop.

Hi Mate! Thanks for letting me know! Have you got any pics to show? Sounds interesting. Thanks

Not got many pics, there's some nice parts on it. One piece prop, koni shocks & lowered springs, rare central 20 spoiler, chromed engine bay parts, rare front bumper lip, john dixon chipped ecu, solid car. Those wheels are no longer on it.

Looks good!! What’s the milage and is the interior in leather or cloth? What kind of wheels will it comes with. Thanks

Mileage is 135,000km although it's not the same engine, this car was a project when I bought it so it's had a lot of work. Engine was replaced & fitted with new cam belt, water pump, thermostat etc. Interior seats are blue cloth but the later style with the '300zx' logo in the middle. I've got new dark blue leather panels to fit under the dash & behind the seats. Wheels are 17" autostrada modena. I'll try to find more pictures later

I am surprised at the rising price of Zeds over in Japan as I bought & imported mine back in 2014

Hi everyone!

gound this one on eBay. Not swb but nice horsepower. Please look past the body kit as it would be taken off. Does anyone have came across this car before?? Any other tips or comments would be much appreciated. Link below! Thanks

Well that will open up the search area for you!

Where else can I look for one?? Thx

Didn’t seem bad on the face of it.

 

Buyer beware though the guy who mapped the car,(Noel/Turbonoz) doesn’t have the best reputation. He is known for getting the max bhp, out of cars, but at the detriment of what’s actually safe, and likely to last more that a 1k miles!
