I need reasons to buy a 300zx
Second car v/good idea mine is a micra. Z is wide, too wide for me in my garage to open the door without it hitting wall & getting out comfortably. I push the targa top over, window down and climb out over the door! How stupid is that!! Arthur

Imports?
Ive got a question? I have a UK TT auto 91 with 132k miles. All past MOT's and two previous owners. I am really very impressed that imports have so little milage on them! I know the japs are smaller than us, so is Japan small too! I will look this up. Also I hear that there are restrictions on thier roads limiting their milage use per year? Are the garages like Z specialists out there? Or are they all NISSAN dealers! Why are imports all around 10 years old? Do they pass a yearly MOT after the 3 years or what! And who translates all this Japanese documentation for the potential buyers?? Just curious :rolleyes: Arthur

Stealth 300zx
Other drivers give me more respect when I drive my Micra! Even my partner notices a difference when she drive the Z to her Citroen! Arthur

It's official, the 300zx is "fantastic"
I have two books about super & sports cars. The Z is not mentioned which is very puzzeling! Arthur

Boost Guage
Having read the guide on buying a Z it appears my car has a problem! :( When I accelerate the boost guage blips to -3 then goes up to +9 (normal) I did this about 20 times on the Mway yesterday and I got the same thing. On idle the needle sits at 0! When I take my foot off the accelerater after boost the guage reads -5 and the goes back to 0! remains at 0 on normal driving, again on acceleration the guage blips to - then to +psi. My engine runs smooth with no whines or funny noises, no smoke, no turbo noises, starts first time, oil pressure +50 running to +15 at idle. The guide says Ive got a problem! :( :( Engine replaced in Aug 03. I have had no problems with engine. Can someone give me a clue please. Arthur

Fire extinguisher
Hi hope someone can help! TURBO'S-having read the Z buying guide! I appear, sorry the car appears to have a problem! When I boost, boost reads 9psi no doubts, done this over 20x today to check. However on idle my gauge remains on 0!! When I accelerate the gauge go's to -3, well blips to the minus side then go's to +9psi. This happens every time. There are no signs of any, I mean any engine problems! It runs smooth, it idle's smooth, the temp is normal, the oil pressure is normal. WTF is going on! Car is UK TT standard. engine replaced last Aug 03. There are no, repeat No! whistling or whining sounds from turbos, no smoke, no smells, nothing! I do like my Z. First time out in two weeks!!!! :) Arthur

Oil filter best- oil etc
300zx org.uk give oil capacties as; Year 90 NA 4.3/8 w/f & 3.7/8 w/o filter Year 91-96 3.5/8 w/f & 3.1/8 w/o filter same in both NA & TT I did an oil change last month & bought 5L of synthetic & used as much as to fill the engine to the correct mark on the dip stick! Thats not rocket science! Oil filters, now then? Any more views on this! Arthur

Tyres - what brand to go for?
Got my Continentals from mytyres on front & rear They have never let go in wet conditions Good price too. I think most tyres are ok, there are other factors to consider. Keep in mind that you have loads of power to deliver with the Z! Use or abuse. Tyres have thier limits too abit like drivers! Would not buy economy tyres though. Arthur
