Back from the bodyshop today, looks great! Next thing is to get it up on axle stands and replace the reverse switch so the lights work again. I’ll be doing new pads and discs on every corner and will be cleaning up the underside. Ran nicely but a bit of smoke occasionally so will be trying to replace the PCV valves first and go from there. Going to clean up the subframes as well. Then belt service, new spark plugs, filters, gearbox oil and diff oil.

After a bit of a delay due to work commitments, I’ve finally dropped my block off at OCS engineering to rework a donor block I sourced from Banzai Breaker a few years ago. They’re confident they can make the needed adjustments to make sure the billet main caps fit properly and the correct size! Can’t imagine it’ll be done this side of Xmas, but at least I’ve finally made a start!

While I wait to make a decision on my Porsche I got this. BMW Z4 30i

The 300zx Owners' Club Committee would like to thank the membership for your support during 2025, and we wish you ALL and your families a Very Merry Christmas, and all the best for 2026.🎅

And the repairs! Can’t wait to see it all fixed and sprayed!

Off to bodyshop!

Quick turn around on that too. Looks great.

Looking really good Rob🤩

Looking great Rob. As white as Christmas snow. 👍

My favourite was Road to Hell, but I have the Gone Fishing and Auberge albums too.

Watched an older Christmas special of Gone Fishing where Chris Rea had a lovely chat with Bob Mortimer - both Middlesbrough boys. I remember his parting gesture and smile...

I wouldn’t make any rash assumptions etc until you’ve driven it. Multiple weeks sat there and the current weather, it’s going to be filled with condensation.

Trying to bring a once, race / track 300zx back to life. Not doing as much work now as the garage is bloody cold. But I have recently fitted new Tein EDFC active dampers , slotted brakes discs and yellow stuff pads. Now repairing brake lines that run inside the car. Next just is to repair and spray a bumper, also fit intercoolers. I have a ZF 8HP gearbox I am planning to use as a sequential box (not for the purists I know, but i would never buy a car i can't modifiy, it's in my DNA) Rebuild ing a small block chevy, although I do have a single turbo heavily modified 300zx engine that could go in. I also need to get a prop made. All this will keep me busy. Unique features of the car: One piece carbon fibre detachable roof, carbon fibre tailgate for 2+2, carbon fibre bonnetand light panel, polycarbonate windows, FIA roll cage, internal fuse and breaker box to run all car electrics from just need to make a loom. Race battery, brake bias controls. Slightly wider wheel track due to suspension upgrades. There is more but that should do.

Hello everyone. I have a z32 jdm 2+0 slicktop NA. Always find you learn more by listening than talking. I'm sure there are plenty of folks here with years of knowledge so hopefully when I have questions that need answers someone will be able to help.

Thanks everyone - and getting back on topic, this thread was started to thank those people who stepped up and helped make the show a success. And a success it was, as always we had plenty of footfall over the three days - from people coming to admire the cars and chat, to folks who once owned a Z32 when they were new who came to reminisce..... And some potential new members, who have recently acquired a 300zx and may need some help in the future My favourite was the man who's dad worked for Nissan in the early 1990s, and he brought two Z32s home to show his [then] young son. One being a base spec white TT manual, and the other a range-topping fully-spec'ed red TT auto with full leather et al.... Pretty much the image of Jason's car. He was clearly moved at the sight of it!! But I have left my biggest thank you to the last - thank you all for buying your tickets with the club discount. Our final numbers are in, and we managed a record [for us] 72 sales!!! 72 - versus just 4 last year - nice one folks, the organisers are very pleased with this, so hopefully it will go down well, when I apply for a stand next year.... So we're now done for NEC 2025, it came and went pretty quickly but we had a great time as always. Thank you one last time - and here's to NEC 2026🤩

Is Vince still about ?

A sad loss to music - RIP sir.

Nice 👍 And by contrast, the runaround i am looking at buying this weekend is a Toyota iQ 😂
