Hi all, tomorrow I am hoping to get my windscreen replaced! 3 months ago my windscreen developed a crack on the passenger’s side. My insurance company told me to contact Autoglass which I did. 3 months later they informed me they could not source a windscreen. It took me 2 days to track one down with YTW windscreens And Pilkinton Glass can make them to order! Now l have the windscreen with no clear precise instructions on how to get the side panels off without destroying them along with braking plastic clips & robber stoppers along the way that are nearly 30 years old. Here are some photos How to take off the side panel? First lift the top up off the rail ! Do not bend it !, When that is done the whole side panel slides out! Not with 30 years of dirt along the rails they don’t! I have new side panels arriving at a cost of around £189 I have also ordered new side pillar trim Retainers as it suggested, but not needed ! Cost £216 The windscreen cost £654 Plus £200 windscreen fitted Added insensitives £36 scuttle clips -square ones £28 for new top plastic clips All for love😀300ZX

Get it to jimmer, no ifs or buts!

I have received brackets from Z1 Motorsports. Whilst waiting for my windscreen to be replaced , I have done an oil & oil filter change Replaced rear tyres front ones when back off holiday. I have front & rear brake pads waiting to get fitted, plus this kit

I had to cut off 2.5cms off the hose to fit

Hi JaiKai I have been searching all day! I have just ordered a pair from Z1 $38 possible import duties too. I’ve lost my support brackets for the bottom hose too!

I have just replaced my old rad with a japspeed rad. I need new top rad brackets as the old ones do not fit, does any one know where in uk I can get? Many thank Art

I read a past post in which Simon mentioned 6/8 weeks for his. That was some years ago now. Nothing mentioned about replacing the side trims, I hope they read the manual how to take them off! I’ve already taken out/off the retaining bits & wipers for the scuttle removal.

It failed on 2 things - welding on two areas - this has been done ✔️ The MOT tester failed it on power steering hose/pipe leaking ! On my inspection - no power steering leak!, My zed is an auto to manual change - I have the old rad in place with plastic sides. They are prone to cracking over time & this was a water leak not a power steering leak. New all alloy rad obtained from Japspeed New tyres & brake pads all round are going on whilst waiting for my windscreen

I contacted Autoglass on the 5 July & gave me the earliest appointment 22 July! As I am out of the country till the 26th I contacted Autoglass the day before with the apprehension of them not having sourced a windscreen? They told me it will be approximately 16 weeks for them to replace it . I thought optimistically 6 weeks🙄

Last Beaulieu l attended was pre Covid one time JoelyP won best in show I did enjoy the Coventry meet also with meeting up will Andrew on the way & Coventry was always a good turnout We had a couple of local meets in Blue Water years back too! Going back further with my first red Zed was Billing Aquadrome Hope you had a good day out Art

Weekend trip to Ashbourne, Castleton,Cromford. Today back to Capel Le Ferne from Oakhill Hotel Cromford 220 miles In Ashbourne we stayed at the Royal Oak, lovely warm welcome, good food, great value. Unfortunately cannot say the same at Oakhill which cost nearly twice as much!

Belated birthday greetings🎂👍🍸

Happy birthday sir👍🍭🍸

Short stop over to Wisques Sat/Sun

Gorilla imports - several Z owners have used them. Www.TC-V. com is a jap web site, will give you an insight on Zeds for sale & prices over there. I bought my Z using this site & imported myself. That was 14 years ago, still have it too! Best use a credible importer

Hi Gary, belated happy birthday 🥳 Sorry for the very late response have been in Portugal since the 4th Jan, back to UK 31st Remember when you purchased your Z that was some years back now! How time flies

Looks great Richard Can i get one still, did i miss it earlier?

As Stephen said

Happy birthday Jeff

Happy birthday Gary Have a super day

And then another 2 years passes by!😄

Hi there, the wife requested a runout in the Z yesterday so we did a trip to the Aqua centre in Rolvenden to buy a fish tank. They were very helpful, We then stopped off a the Great House near Hawkhurst for lunch

Yes I agree with your comments Stephen, I am not desperate to sell it. My wife wasn’t pleased when I told her I had put it up for sale! I may not get any response this time of year & the price which I think is fare

Hi all, Today I have listed my car on eBay! I have enjoyed it more since the manual conversion But time to move on Not as good as some of the members truly great cars, but mechanically sound Arthur

Thank you for the birthday wishes from all at 300 zx Owners club 🙏😀👍
