cdn300zx

Hi all, Ive posted something along the same lines ages ago but I am completely stuck. 1990 300zx na I have rusty rear sills that need to be fixed along with some minor rust underbody. I have sourced stamped replacement parts for the rear sills. I need my ebrake replaced including the cables. Have the full replacement kit from concepts But for the life of me, I cannot find any place that will touch it with a 10 foot pole. I even have the centre console out to make life easier but every place might as well hang up on me when I tell the vehicle. Based in Wicklow. I'm not looking for an immediate 2 day fix, if it needs to be a side project for a shop for a few weeks that's better than it looking sad in my driveway. Anyone know anyone who might work on it? I need this done to pass the NCT. After which, all other regular maintenance things I would do my self that doesn't involve being under the car. I never imagined it would have been so hard to find a place. It's in good shape otherwise. This is purely to pass the NCT. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help a fellow Z owner out!

Would like to get in touch when I head that way. By any chance, do you know of others in Galway that have a Z? When I lived here 14years ago I met a very kind person who owned a slick top white 300zx.

Thanks all, appreciate the replies. I'm still in the process of waiting for parts on backorder from conzeptz, so I can get the NCT completed and actually drive it on the roads. Getting it registered here was a PITA. Much confusion with requirements from the registration office. Insurance is shockingly cheap, much cheaper than I paid in Canada. Looking forward to some winding drives around here. Roads here are built for the Z.

Hi all, New here. I recently moved back to Ireland with my family and shipped over my '90 Z as well. Have owned it for over 20+ years and just couldn't part with it. It finally arrived after several weeks of travel. I'm hoping to get a grasp of what I need to get done and in what order so I can take this thing on the road. First, I know I have to sort out VRT as soon as I get some papers in the post. However, I understand that it will need to have an NCT, and get insurance. So several questions, Any recommendations for classic car insurance here for Dublin county? Clean driving record, car won't be driven much except for a treat every now and again. NCT: I need to order some parts I know it would fail on, ebrake shoes and cables, tyres, and a few other bits. Is there any way to drive it to a mechanics to get some work done, like a temp tag/permit, or will it need to be towed? How does NCT adjust for older (1990) vehicles and emissions? I have read online in a few places that once you have a NCT appointment booked, it would be at the guarda's discretion to penalize if stopped on the road without a current NCT. That being said, having never had an NCT I'm guessing it wouldn't be worth the risk, and will just have to wait however long for an appointment. Are there any recommended online places on this side of the Atlantic for Z parts? I usually have ordered from czp and z1 in the past. Last but not least, does anyone have any mechanics they would recommend in the south Dublin area that don't break the bank? I know these cars are a pain to work on, and I would normally do maintenance myself but the ground it is on isn't a flat surface so that isn't an option for now. Thanks in advance. Btw, there are some exceptional looking Z being posted here!
