Hi there, my insurance is up for renewal The value of my Z for the past 4 years has been 6k I know our prices have risen but at what value should I be thinking of? I know it difficult not seeing the car so here is a bit about it, Imported by me in March 2014 a 91 TT manual pearl white. Past 2 years it has had a manual conversion with new clutch & lightened flywheel + what has been listed below (Exedy PRO-Kit complete clutch kit & bearing) Full 120k cambelt kit change + 6 new coil packs & plugs All new fuel lines done New grooved discs & pads all round (March 2019) Oil change every year regardless of mileage ( 3k in last 2 years) Body work solid/ interior good slight wear on drivers seat bolster Stainless steel exhaust All MOT's & history of all work carried out & parts purchased All purchase invoices & import documents ( I am the only owner in UK) That should bring the value to 6.5K ?

Seems a few of us took the Zeds out over the weekend. I did a run to Henlow & back yesterday. Surprised at how well the traffic flowed, no hold ups only the 50 mph restriction on M20 for 17 miles!

Hi there, love the paint work recent re-spray? Has it been off the road for some time before your purchase? good luck with ur new purchase ! enjoy

Hi there, I have just purchased a “Drive It Day” plaque from driveitday.co.uk A fund raising day by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs for the NSPCCs Childline Taking place on 24 April 2022 I know my Z is no way an historical vehicle but I thought it was for a great cause. i picked the information from this weeks Classic Car Weekly.

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.

Mine is red!? So we’re do I get a new 12v power driver/inverter?

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

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 ?

Good morning Tom, as I live in Folkestone I think I should be in attendance. Harbour Arm car park 10 am it is. Are there any members that could link up along the way if they do not wish to take the trip down to Folkestone? See you there.

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.

Today l took the Z for a drive to Dungeness via the Pilot Inn at Lydd on Sea then onto the Britannia

I have these in the garage new never fitted if u would like them £30?

Happy birthday Andrew have a great day Arthur

Happy birthday Richard

Nice wheels & colour. I agree, would it have been better glass?

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!

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

Here’s another two!

This one is a SWB TT with A/T

Well spotted Andrew? it was just to take the photo I just feel a bit of a sad git taking photos of the car! ?

That should be Debbie’s ?

Donors/Tesco Ashford. Aldi Hythe ?

Its dry & sunny here so I am just off to Ashford & Hythe for a drive!

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

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
