One piece propshaft
I bought it off another member here who shorty after buying and getting it balanced swapped his 2+2 for a 2+0 so it was no longer of any use. Yup I think the cheapest I've seen the for is about £850 but then that was when the exchange rate was $2 = £1

get a load of this
I hate it when they list the car the date it was imported rather than the date of manufactor. I mean come on it's not 4 years old.

Venting Engine Bay
If you don't have cowl's there debris will eventually block up the drains and you will get water all down the back of the engine eventually rotting the firewall and causing all sorts of other problems. Grab a 2nd hand one from Paul@swz and spray it up or a new one from Mike Feeney.

Gasket! Front water pipes
you don't need it made, just use semi hardening sealant. Halfords Red stuff does the job, just make sure you get it all on the suface, leave for a minute and bolt back on.

Manifold/turbo help!
Yup GT28's need some mods, but then when fitted with GD manifolds, it pushes it out even more. When I got my jwt530bb's and GD manifolds fitted I have to get the block grinded as well. This is where you need someone like duffers input.

Either that or label all the boxes as "Beer".

Urgent i think.lol
It's the cold weather causing all three of those problems. From warm to cold = shrink and expand. As mentioned above already, you probably hav ea slipping belt, once warmed up it will stop. As you accelerate the belts move faster even if you are not moving as they are connected to the engine rather than the drivetran. Petrol smell will be due to the rubber pipes shrinking letting a little vapour out into the engine bay, this is sucked through the air ducts and go's into the cockpit. Targa leaking, rubbers on the targa seals shrink, mis shaping them causing wter to leak in.

The Wife Has Gone - AFTERMATH
So she took more than was agreed ?. OR was it agreed but you just didn't realise you agreed she could take everything. As long as you still have the oven, fridge, sink and toilet - you're all good ;) Good luck mate, hope you don't hurt too much for too long.

fitting front bumper
Totally agree with Pete. Be it fiber glass of polyurathine, test fit first before painting. Most front bumpers these days are copies, the mould id made from an original and then it has to be altered slightly to protect it from copyright laws. Even my original Stillen front bumper needed slight work on it as these are designed for a SWB which you would imagine are the same size. Apparently not, the SWB is slightly narrower.

Hi and Welcome, Take your time looking for the right 300zx, some heap ones are complete sheds and will cost you more than the car itself to get right. There are some nice ones up for sale at the moment including mine.
