Hi guys,

Just took delivery of my 1st ever 300zx t/t auto. Got it at a reasonable price as one (or 2) of the heads are cracked. Got a new pair of heads on the way and any advice or encouragement will be gratefully recieved !!

Had Americans for the past 12 years and fancied a change, so while unfamiliar with the 300, got a reasonable idea what i`m up against.

Any do`s or dont`s etc and tricky bits too look out for, let me know.

Thanx in anticipation.

I to came by way of the American car scene.

 

Started with a 75 mustang. (dont laugh)

 

Then got some real yanks.

 

69 Boss mustang

 

80 camaro Z28

 

82 Trans AM (Night rider)

 

80 Corvette 350 manual

 

72 Rambler Amassador (Huge station wagon)

 

88 Corvette

 

And 94 Corvette

 

Dont know why I went for the Z. But will never go back to the yanks. Totaly converted

 

This is the place to be if you need information, just ask and you shall get!!

Hi Chris,

Last yank that I sold last week was an 84 Chevy Blazer bigfoot !!! It came from Israel of all places ! Champing at the bit to get my 300 mobile. Thanks for the reply.

Alan........

Hows it going.....slowly but surely there are more scots 300's on here.....where in scotland are you, i'm in Barrhead.

Anyway sounds like you are gonna be havin fun working on your 300, I am an HGV mechanic to trade and I hate working on cars but I do all my own work on my 300 but they are a nightmare to work on..but thats life.

 

Geeza shout if u need a workshop manual as I have one on CD.
