What is the issue you are having before you wade in & possibly create more problems ?

Once the tiger fur is complete you need a hat with a feather in & glass soled platform boots with live goldfish in the heel !

I am so pleased you are happy Liam.It was a real pleasure to sort the car for you & rid it of the previous shoddy repairs.Somebody somewhere has a lot of 300zx nuts & bolts in his tool box as " left overs".I hope you enjoy summer with it & i look forward to seeing you & the car for more work next year perhaps.

That 100% sounds like a rod bearing has broken up.Drain the oil & inspect it for metal filings.

If you have a broken loom soldering on new plugs is a waste of time & money.Whilst you can,Buy & fit a new engine harness along with a new set of series 2 ethanol resistant injectors from a reputable source.This will future proof against break downs & running faults.

Thank you Nick.

I am indeed that Jim,Feel free to contact me about any car,s you fancy as i may know it & be able to advise on condition etc.The silver rust free car i know of ,The owner is Keith & his number is 07808924417.He is a nice guy & very up front & honest.

Hi Chap,The mot history on that 99 spec ebay car is awful.It is not L75 though.It,s reg is NCZ 199.

Hedgehog Dodger on here has a silver standard lwb factory manual for sale that he imported 18mths ago.

Both the aluminuim & steel calipers suffer with piston issues.I rebuild them at work & would have done yours Richard if you had asked.A few hours is all it takes & a kit is about £60.I think Nissan used cast iron as a money saver only & not because of any benefits personally.Brembo discs here are made by Euro Car parts & are not the Brembo quality being honest.I would say they are no better than M tec that awful E bay brand.I use Blueprint discs for stock set up,s.I would try those .

I rebuilt the engine on that for a guy called Steve in around 2010.He was from Nottingham.That kit is from the z centre i believe.Did you aquire that recently with a tongue in cheek mot on it ? I saw it for sale a short while ago.

Paul Bailey was a local here in Bristol. His " chop shop" got raided & he vanished into obscurity after.His lock up was full of stolen 300s & it was well known locally he was a rogue.He had some good publicity in his time with one wide arch yellow NA being featured in Max Power magazine. I have encountered several people who knew of him back in the day.Nick @ Tomorrows Classics in Charfield knew of him quite well & may have painted some of the cars if i recall.As for any value i would say very little being honest as most people seek to return cars now to a more oem look.Get some pics up though as we all love a bit of nostalgia.

Happy belated Birthday Richard,I hope Julia treated you like a lord for the day 😉

She looks a picture Andrew & i am so glad you approved of my subtle dress up bolts & satin black enhancements.

Cheers fella

Thank you Gary ,53 this year !! It was Andrew Glen,s Birthday yesterday too, He collected his car & was over the moon after all his years of planning & squirreling away parts.I am sure he will post up shortly.

His last z was a good example.Keith does personal imports & I have no doubt this one will be a good buy also.Let us know how you get on !

Hi Fella,Welcome back.It just so happens Keith Bailey who has been a customer of mine with his last Z has a manual car he imported less than 2 years ago for sale.It is silver,Rust free & bog standard.His no is 07808924417

Josh Lake @ Gorilla Imports in Teeside has brought loads of cars in from Japan & several 300zx,s.He was a customer of mine & a previous owner of one.Josh & me still speak now & i know he follows 300 prices still at auction & has a man on the ground who can do pre checks etc.

Hi Chris.My contact details are on Powerzed,s web page along with a menu price system.

That was the car for sale In Bradford i believe.A guy called me Monday saying he was interested in buying it & should the belt be done as it was 14 years old !

Hi Chris,Welcome & congrats i hope on the recent purchase.You are not far away from me.I am in Bristol & can help you with any work on the car if needed.Have you any pictures of it,It is possible we may know it from a previous owner ?.

Hi Chap, Looking at that picture you need more than just those water elbows.The cam belt tensioner has collapsed & the cam seals are leaking quite badly.Any reason you are not tackling those as a whilst you are there ? CZP sell those elbows cast from alloy.

Hi Alex,I worked on that car for Farhan,Shame he crashed it.Was low miles too i believe.30k ? Paul @ Banzai breakers has just taken a shell from mine that would yield the cuts you require.

How many cells ?
