how many miles has yours done? how many had it done when you bought it? Do you think around 90-100k miles is a lot for a uk manual tt? I could throw some cash at the car restoring the engine if its needed to get it running propper. Could also get some engine work done whilsts its out :)

http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=79036 If you don't mind looking at that thread i'm thinking about getting a 300zx and weighing up my options. What do you think this problem could be? smoking from the exhaust? Costly? Chris

Yes. Why? Do you know of the car? Any pics? Is it a good buy?

thanks guys and love your car stellaz, i'm currently talking to someone who has a uk tt white 300 on 70k, just replaced both turbos and it has an auto box but he will put in a manual one all for £6k. He's one of the 300 tuners I beleive.

I'm not used to driving auto's and don't really like them. Prefer manual cars. I can't seem to find any on autotrader or pistonheads thats worth looking at.

yup what are the specs on these standard? bhp? 0-60?

I've read the buying advice guide and took into account some points on there. For the money i'm spending i'd be looking at a late 300zx. Is it better to go for say a later 300zx like a 94? Are there different models? Do they all have a t-bar? If you have time please look at the original questions I asked in my first post. Ta

Links to 300zx's for sale would also be a big help. Oh and anyone want to buy a clio v6 :)

Hey guys, Registered recently. I currently own a renault clio v6 mk1 (rwd, 3.0 24v n/a v6, mid engined, 230bhp). I'm liking rwd although I think a v6 clio is not the one for me considering there is so much weight in the back they can very very easily be spun and die at islands etc. I've never owned a jap car or had a car with a turbo let alone two. I rang my insurance company (i'm 22 with 2 years no claims) and can get insured on a twin turbo 300zx no problem. They did refuse to insure me on an imported one. It has to be a UK car apparently. So now i'm looking for a minter or a 300zx, uk standard, has to be manual. I have upto about £10k to spend on one but ideally i'd prefer to get one for about £6-7k maximum. Is it best to go for a car which has already been rebuilt? What are these engines and boxes like? Can they be reliable as with most jap cars I read about you got a lot of issues with them and require rebuilding. For the amount of money i've spent, what amount of miles should I be looking at on a car? I'd preferably want one with as little mods as possible for insurance reasons at the moment. The ones I see for sale tend to have huge spec's of mods. p.s - what's the best coilover kit to buy for these cars? In the passed on various cars i've used Fk, H&R, Leda. Leda being by far the best. Appreciate any advice you can give. I'll have a think of any more questions as i'm sure I have loads in my head but just can't think of them at the moment. :stop's rambling on about utter shite:
