I'm a new member and also new to owning a 300zx after owning a 350z. As the 300zx is less well known to general mechanics and I have heard even Nissan main dealers! does anyone have any recomendations for mechanics and/or tuners near Brighton? I do a lot of work myself with cars, but my clutch is on the way out and seem to have no spare time at the mo!

if its just a clutch slipping , i would be tempted for the few extra bucks to uprate to a RPS max or if your planning serious upgrades in power a Carbon carbon clutch , Smithy / DTA on here can supply them , then go to a decent garage in your area to have the clutch changed, Clutches on the Z32 are very near the limit as stock with the power these cars produce and can produce, if tweaked slightly the standard clutch even if in very good condition will slip, so an uprated clutch is deffo a recomendation if your changing it anyway ,you only really need a specialist like Zworld or Zextreme when it comes to servicing and fault finding ,

 

enjoy the Zed and welcome to the club

travel a bit and see jimmer... job done!

Welcome to the club by the way Millsy ;)

Cheers everyone!

 

I will be tuning her but to what extent I'm not sure yet. Definitely getting a remap, uprated clutch etc.. (stage 3 tune), after that though I will wait for the next major service to remove the engine and updgrade turbo's etc...

 

I want to lighten the car for the occasional track day but I need to get the fact the car is so good as it is out of my head... a tough one!

There is a few of us around the area who can offer assistance and help, and dont mind getting dirty, if you need any advice give me a bell, glad to help.

Im in Brighton alot of the time. Welcome to the nut house..........

Cheers Stu, thats great to know :) Always can do with extra help and advise

Hey mate I'm up near Horsham and take mine to SPC in Horsham they did a great job on my rebuild etc so you might want to give them a buzz 01403257257.

 

Welcome I'm in Brighton alot as well if you just need a second opinion etc on stuff.

Thanks radron, that will come in handy probably after the summer. I took my previous 350z to tdi in essex who are really good, but its a fair distance especially if you need a lift back! SPC looks spot on

No probs bud
