I have been writing about my car on the Forum since I got it, feel free to have a look at this for loads of info.

Imported in 2005, this car has covered 98,000 miles. I bought the car in March 2022 and it has been well loved and cared for by me. I don’t know much of the history of the car before I owned it as it didn’t come with any. I was told it had covered 70,000km before the clocks were converted to run in MPH, so about 28,000 of the distance is miles but I have no proof of this.

In the last 4 years this car’s been through a refresh. This started with a respray 3-4 years ago where all the sills and arches were cut out and replaced with fresh metal and was resprayed in a metallic black (I have pictures of the work being completed).

Since I bought the car in 2022, it has been garaged and only used in summer (apart from the odd trip to the garage for some work). First thing I did was have a 60k service (Cam belt, engine oil and filter, gearbox oil, diff oil, HGK Iridium spark plugs, fuel filter) by Jimmer at PowerZed at 95,000 miles. Other work he carried out at the time was a new rear main seal on gearbox and some other small bits.

Since then I have had other work completed on it by Nispro, a local Nissan specialist. The notoriously unreliable early series injectors were replaced with those from an RB25 using a fuel rail modifier kit from CZP in US. The water lines in the plenum were also deleted to make working on the engine easier. A new alternator was also fitted with a full set of Mishimoto silicone radiator hoses and the Hicas outer ends were replaced. I have also changed the PTU to a series 2 unit for reliability.

In November 2023, all 4 wheel bearings were replaced, it had a new brake master cylinder and the diff oil was changed and then in Feb 2024 it had a replacement master and slave cylinder and clutch fluid, new prop shaft centre bearing and some new fuel lines at the rear.

I changed the engine oil and filter in April 2024 using Shell Helix 10w-40 oil.

It has been undercoated at some point in its life, but I have put two treatments of Lanoguard on the underside to prevent any rust development this winter (October 2023 and March 2024). The interior is very good, it still has the original ‘shag-pile’ carpet mats in the front with the ‘Fairlady-Z’ metal plate attached, and I have installed a double din fascia and 3D printed cup holder. There is a ciggy hole in the drivers seat and the drivers door trim (where the handle is) has a broken clip on the inside but easy enough to replace with a spare.

I have also had a new genuine Nissan speed sensor fitted.

Bad bits

Air Con doesn’t work. Not sure why, I’ve not looked in to it as it’s never bothered me.

Underside has some surface rust, as with almost all 30 year old JDM cars, but it’s really not bad and has been treated now with Lanoguard so shouldn’t progress anyway.

Occasional rattle from underside at 1500rpm. I believe this is a loose heat shield, this was the advice from the garage after I asked them to look in to it and they couldn’t find an issue.

I have used the cars for weekends away with my wife and also have taken it to a number of car shows, including having it on the 300zx Owners Club stand at the 2022 Classic Car Show at the Birmingham NEC. I have been a member of the 300ZX Owners Club since I bought this car and have documented my ownership of it in a blog if you want to find out any more. It’s a brilliant and genuine car. Really fast, sounds great, runs great and gets lots of attention.
