Car and Driver a visual history
It's a clear choice for me..... ....The 240z started it all off; but it was the Z32 that really got me interested in the brand, marque and lineage. I am not saying that because I (as do we all) have a Z32; but that I chose to buy a Z32 because of the look/feel/car that it is.......:cool: Z32 all the way; be it SWB/LWB/Targa/slicktop/manual/auto..... As long as it's a twin turbo, for me at least, though...:wink:

Local meets
Hi Kamil, I'm not a million miles form you - about 1/2 hour south on the M40. We used to have a Thames Valley region, but as membership dwindled, it was disbanded; so like me, you're between the Midlands and the south east. Check out the events and meetings section of the forum.... https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?90-Midlands https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?88-London-amp-The-South-East Otherwise, as Gary says, we have our main event and AGM at The Coventry Transport Museum in July - see here: https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?186666-Club-Annual-Meet-amp-AGM-2017-Register-of-Interest Richard:cool:

RIP Roger Moore
RIP Sir Roger - a sad loss indeed....:sad: I almost agree - Pierce Brosnan was my favourite. But only just; as he could aspire to the wit of Sir Roger but maintained the action of Sean Connery. Thing is though, Sir Roger was THE bond of my era whilst growing up - and maintained that true English gentleman spy persona like no other. And for that, and what Simon said, he will always be head and shoulders above Sean, Daniel, Timothy and George..... Richard:flowers:

First time owner, long time fan
Hi and welcome Jay..... Nice looking Zed you have!! As Andrew has mentioned, I'd wager the cutting out problem is down to a faulty PTU; it's a common fault and many of us have upgraded to the series 2 PTU. It was a recall in the USA, but not here, because the 300zx wasn't sold in sufficient quantities for it to be relevant..:sad:

Engine Oil
Hello and welcome.....! As Andrew says above, a "30" grade of oil is going to be too thin for a twin turbo engine; once up to temperature. You'll need a minimum of a "40" grade..... Regarding the semi vs fully synthetic argument, Nissan did specify 10w40 semi originally; so nothing wrong with doing that. Some people have said fully synth is at best an unnecessary extra cost; or at worst, could give rise to leaking seals. Personally, I think that if fully synth had been more widely used in 1990, then Nissan would have specified that instead - so as it is a more advance oil, then why not upgrade? Always use a decent, quality brand - for semi synth, something like Castrol Magnatec 10w40. And for fully synth, Castrol Edge Titanium 5w40, Shell Helix Ultra 5w40... You get the idea - no cheap rubbish... :wink:
