The Regulator has a pipe running off it that you can not see,its underneath it ,runs at a slight angle,run car for a few minutes,(or leave it running,watch you fingers,plenum gets hot) then get your fingers underthere and try to feel for wetness,damp etc,worth checking:confused:

Its in Boston ,Lincs:mad:

I DONT BELIEVE IT!,the silver one has a red drivers door!:eek: wonder how many Zs have been used to make it!:mad:

Backend looks weird,looks to me as if wheels are toe in?,tyres well fecked as well:mad:

Tell you what,a certain person bought one for spares,it was a runner ,but well worn around the edges,to far gone to put serious money too,and the price!,around £900 and it was a runner and it had mot ntax,it was in better condition than them two,they should be used up for spares,for around £800 each,get the crap off the forcourt!!:mad:

i've allready said it,but,taken from"why r Zs so cheap" thread,:mad: Another factor,and one i feel is the most to blame ,is word of mouth from people that have purchased a "Just In"direct from japan Z,from the countless crappy/dodgy dealers /importers that are out there(tareing the good dealers/importers with the same brush)buying grade 2-3 Zs,shipping em over ,tarting them up,then selling them on for triple what they paid,then a few days or weeks later the poor buyer finds it needs shit loads spending on it just to get it roadworthy again,so called 30klm cars that are/seem to be much more worn out than should be,eventually these pieces of crap get sold on and on etc for low prices,affecting the price of the good ones,vicious circle,Zs with good service history,in very presentable condition,obviously looked well after by the owner,especially an enthusiast, in my book is worth double that of one thats sitting on a forcourt somewhere,and the dealer not knowing jack shit about the car,just waiting for some poor unsuspecting person to buy it,and we have all read and heard about it on here at sometime!,i think though that people are now getting the message about these cars,there being more choosy,the proof being the amount of people that have recently come to this site to ask questions and get the low down before buying,i have ,like many here noticed the price fall quite a lot since around october till around end january,but the good privately owned ones are now holding there own and are fetching a better price and are more sought after,eventually the crap will dissaper and then you'll see Zs going up in price alot more,takeking all this into consideration and the above post is why they are so cheap at the moment :mad: Tony(the above dealer should be feckin Sho-!)

Congrats mate,:D ,good idea going to the meet,they should be able to answer the many questions you'll have by then;)

You will find the pics on here,another meet this sunday i believe,but can not go myself:( http://www.davewilkinsgtr.co.uk/master.htm?http://www.davewilkinsgtr.co.uk/main.htm go to past meets,october;)

This very recent Mac!,seems to be getting a regular occurance,glad to hear those involved ok,:eek: was it anyone on here!

Thanks mate:)

Chris,where did you get your bonnet from,or did you do it!looks wicked,me would love that(in black of course:D )

Well done mate,have fun,be carefull,;) (another midlands z owner,we're taking over!:D )

Only one thing goin for the 3000gt thats the handling, bloody awsome,did post about this on a simalur thread while back,rest of the car i cant stand,as for the cabin in the 300zx,i love it,way better than the Skyline,better driving position too,and the cabin in the 99 spec S and spec R 300s are drop dead gorgeous,the zx wins in looks thats for sure up against the other two,but the Skyline is to be sure a pure bred balls out tuners parradise,now pushing out some 1500bhp,and will to be honest be more reliable due to the nature of its design and race bred heritage,both the 300zx and the Skyline deserve there place in motoring history,lets just be gratefull that the japanese decided in the late eightys to go against the grain and produce such great performance cars, that are giving so many people so much fun all over the world,and it seems with the 350z and the new GTR that its gonna continue,cant wait to buy a 350z in a few years time,imported,modified to hell for around £10,000!(heaven):D :D ;)

Just checked out me 99spec sale catalogue,just to be sure,the wheels are on the right way:D

They look the right way to me!;)

Yes it was,luckily i shut the car down before it went boooom,:eek: :D ,if you pop over weekend i can look at that panel,and take a look at your filter install;)

Change the Regulator!,the one at the rear of engine,right hand side,next to plenum,on my old z had same ,got worse,so bad one day opened bonnet with engine running,saw absolute shit loads of fuel pissing down between the plenum,nearly shat me self,very lucky,replaced it with one from AndyZ,dont leave it to long:( (aand its a bugger to fit!)

Very upsetting,i can take most things,but its too much for me:(

The Hun!never!!!:eek: :D ;)

And who ever it is has been driving it around in this weather!Words fail me,:eek: :eek: :(

Just been to look at the stats again ,it says 91 octane running 20.6psi:eek:

Ah!me understand now:D

Have been on some US sites and some zeds are running 600bhp and above on 92 octane fuel ,if i'm not mistaken on reading it,so how do they overcome the detting probs,are they just shoveing masses of fuel in and running well rich!,just wonderd!:confused:

Me only 30 mins away,often go to the Snowdome,great place that:D
