breaks my heart to do this but being realistic i don't have the room to store, nor the extra cash to fund putting this car back together, and i'd also prefer it went to an enthusiast rather than the scrap yard. it's a 1991 Red Uk Spec 300zx Twin Turbo (Reg is PBZ1398) for anyone wanting to check anything online. It's been Sorned and dry stored for the last 7 years, basically the majority of the car is complete minus the engine. it's was resprayed in the most part some time ago, but a few minor blemishes are showing, Drivers Side Wing, Bonnet and T-tops still to be painted, also there is no front bumper. Car is very clean underneath, no serious rot or rust. I'll try and get some decent pictures but its currently stored at my mums garage and its pretty cramped, hard to price something like this so i'm open to offers, but if admin insists i'll try and come up with something if there's interest. Thanks, any questions just ask away, or feel free to pm me. Car is Located in Angus, Scotland

yeah it's a pain, especially if you don't have small hands! lol, plus the amount of times i dropped the nut/washer while trying to thread it on to start with,thenhad to get out the car and lean under it to pick it up...have fun :D

I did this not too long ago when i replaced the bushes in the shifter mechanism, if i remember correctly i had to use a swivel head ratchet spanner, with restricted movement your maybe only getting a couple of clicks at a time but after perseverance i got it buttoned up, hope that helps somehow!

actually looks like there is something missing, as i don't have these, but the actual centre of the spoiler below where the brake light would be curves upward, its hard to explain so i'll get a picture of it.

Thanks, yeah i've seen the Twinz ones, but i just cant see passed the stock one tbh, i want my car to be as close to factory as possible.

Old thread revival, basically i'm after opinions on the best replica of the early 89 spoiler?, my most recent zed has some sort of copy/replica minus the brake light but the fit is terrible, and there's a massive gap between the taillights and the spoiler when the bootlid it closed, so who has one and recommends a good fitting version?

had the pleasure of owning both a TT and an N/a, all boils down to what you want from the car, either will turn heads and make a talking point. I bought the NA purely because my tt has been a long term project, and i wanted something fun in the twisties with out breaking the bank, i get all the enjoyment out of this car as i did my Twin turbo, which to me is what mattered, apart from the surge of power obviously.

The Standard exhaust on my Zed is a little tired, it's blowing from the downpipe somewhere and the rest of the system is looking kinda ropey, so i'm after something new, anyone got a full system including downpipes that would fit my N/A?

I've use coolant flush treatments in both of my Z31's and also my previous Z32 without any issues, usually once it has been used then flushed through with clean water, then the correct coolant etc added i've not noticed any adverse affects

whats the chances they've been fitted there to cover up either corrosion, welding repair or dents?, the sills look kinda pushed in at places. Other than that, a few little changes back to OEM and it would be a beauty!

Nice Cars, just recently sold my C63 Amg, still miss it, whats the spec on yours? mine had the mercedes performance pack fitted from the factory, which included LSD, composite brake discs/red calipers,alcantara steering wheel, forged engine internals and a power upgrade..it was 487bhp

Welcome to the forum dude, as already stated, this forum is mainly for the Z32 model 300zx's, but i'm a fellow Z31 owner with an 84 Turbo manual, and an 87 Turbo manual, so if you need any help with anything i'll try my best!

Welcome!, looks like the Scots members are increasing! :clap:

Thanks guys! it's def brought back the enthusiasm!

Well, what can i say, i'm buzzing to finally be back in a Zed!, albeit an N/A, but its a manual and i LOVE it!, i've had a twin turbo zed for several years, but it had engine problems/overheating quite some time ago and long story short i lost heart/interest with it, and it's sat in the back of my garage for years,(didnt have the heart to sell it though) so i'm determined to make a start to getting it back to its former glory....i just needed a little push! inspiration, most people would probably think that i should've used the money to fix my turbo....but you can't have too many zeds right?? so that being said for my 35th birthday i've treated myself to this :biggrin:

Thanks for the Birthday wishes! Much Appreciated! had a couple days off work so that was a bonus.....and i've treated myself to an N/A Z32 manual as my birthday present :D....pics to follow in another thread!

Love Stagea's, i have one too :thumbup1:

I'm in Scotland, Just outside Dundee, my TT Z32 has been off the road for years, sadly due to engine problems then lost motivation and there its basically stood, but i have my eyes on another Zed that i might purchase soon and will inspire me to finish the one i have!, hopefully get a meet organised in the not too distant future!

Hi Smudge, just to let you know thats me finally had time to remove all the bits from the Z31 Turbo, just the loom and Ecu to remove and i'll have that out before the end of the week:thumbup:

With regards to Por-15, it is very good, and really durable, but if you're spraying it make sure you use a proper filtered mask!, i've read quite a few stories from people in america not using adequate breathing apparatus and breathing in particulates,....its really nasty stuff

No problem, i'll be in touch as soon as its all good to go, cheers

yeah that does make sense, engine/box are already out as i had planned on painting the whole car including the bay...

ok no problem!, let me know a list of what all you require and once it's all off the car i'll be in touch, 280zx project sounds interesting! :thumbup1:
