Rear 300ZX panel
That is exactly what is needed, thank you. just ordered. it looks like the old one has over heated as the casing has melted! I think I’ll put a fuse on it.

Rear 300ZX panel
My rear 300ZX panel has stopped lighting up. I think the resistor has failed? Can someone shed a light on what is required? No pun intended ? Arthur

What did you do to your zed today?
I forgot to mention that I did an oil change last weekend. Last oil change was back in 2020 but I have only done 2K. My Z was on/off the road best part of 9 months between 2019- Jan 2022. What with 3rd auto-box fail then manual conversion. All to do now are; rear fuel pipes, rear power steering pipe, both rear track rods (purchased) Dont we just love them ?

Killed my gearbox.......
Hi Richard sorry to hear about the auto-box fail. if ur happy with the auto & as u say can get a specialist rebuild then that appears to be a good option for u. Any second hand auto could fail u, as I had 3 fail me in two years! That costly experience made me choose a manual change. The manual does change the driving experience. Good luck with getting ur Z back on the road.

A zed costs $471 a year to maintain ha ha
I wish! So let me take a look at mine!, March 2020 (covid time) New discs & pads all round. Full cam belt change. Auto to manual conversion + full clutch & light flywheel. All brake lines changed. Two oil changes. 6 new coil packs & spark plugs. Not sure what regular maintenance this covers ? July 2019 till today miles covered 3K if dry today then add a few more miles ? that’s life with a Z hay ho!

I know I have an advert up…….
Hi there, I found my Z through TC-V. com traders in Japan place there cars on this site, you find ur car, then negotiate a price though TC-V.com all negotiations go through them & it costs u about £50 maybe more now to use their service. they make sure the car your buying is genuine & the trader is legitimate. once agreed the individual trader books the car on a ship to the uk port u requested.. all the car documents are then posted to you from the trader. Ship arrives in ur uk port, now u get a company to get it off the ship for importing. this is not difficult as there are companies do this daily. So yes import tax + vat has to be paid then has to be MOT’d with engine number if I remember right. all can be done by yourself, it is daunting but as it takes 3 months for ur car to hit the UK ,u have time. Traders in Japan are very trusted in their information pm me if u need any more information

I just think 15K for what he is looking for is optimistic. Even shocked at the way prices have risen.

New MOT rules
I cannot remember if I changed them over as it was a couple of years. tbh Andrew I was being lazy as it is only a 15 minute job to take out the hid’s Having said that I think it was a bit petty as I have used the same garage for the MOT since importing the Z
