Finally she sits on her own 4 wheels again. Video

Thanks Andrew. 👍

Hi Andrew Hope you’re well? Have you had the 300 out much? Please feel free any time to pick me up, I could do with moral booster. If you can find those part numbers I’d be greatful. 👍

Morning all So this build is making some progress again, although it’s not going to be attending any shows this year now. 😕 The latest stumbling block is a lack of communication from Greenline. So I’ve had everything I can powder coated and replaced up front but I’m struggling to get hold of the following parts. If anyone can point me in the right direction I’d be greatful. Many thanks, Chris. •Mounting Tension rod bushes •Arb bushes • Front suspension upper link rh and lh • Arb droplinks.

We it’s finally starting to come together! Last week the 300 and parts were collected and taken to a company that has done a number of jobs for me (replacing the head gasket and other work on the Toyota Alphard and a number of jobs on the RS6). They’re called DC Automotive and Tuning . They have a passion and specialise in Japanese motors and seemed really excited to get involved in the 300. 🥳 Jimmer at PowerZed , who has been as patient as a saint, has also been in touch about the engine rebuild and is going to start work on this too. I don’t hold out much hope that I’ll be driving her this season, as there’s a very long way to go, but it fills me with joy knowing that things are moving again. 😎

Hi guys i had the servo replaced only a few thousand miles ago however I was never happy with the appearance. Now that I’ve stripped the bay and want to put things back as new I’d like to address the surface rust. Whats the strongest paint to use when repainting the servo? I’m assuming that it can’t be powder coated due to the internals and that I’ll need to wet paint it? cheers, Chris.

Ok, it’s finally here, the RS6 is at a point where I can’t do anything else to the rear end suspension rebuild, my youngest Oscar is sleeping, my two other boys entertaining themselves and the wife is out. 🥳I CAN NOW WORK ON THE 300! 🥳 The problem is, where do I start? 🤪

Just had a great result with the 300zx. I complained to my credit card company that I felt I had had my pants pulled down by the arsehole that took my car apart and, after an investigation, they have credited my account the money I’d paid to him. 👍 As I’ve already said, it wasn’t a lot of money but it feels good to have got it back and it covers the transport costs of having to rescue it and drop it back to me.

I guess it happens in every trade. Thankfully I wasn’t too deep financially with him as all his work was labour and I could see progress. All parts are being put through PowerZed whom I trust completely. 👍

Thanks Lee. I know Nissan didn’t bother to lay the paint down metallic and that there isn’t much area to enjoy the new colour but I think it’s worth the extra cost and effort to have it done properly. ?

Paint went down today, unfortunately the pictures are great but you can see the Pearl a little on some of them. Looks nice and lickable to me. ?? They're dropping the car back to me on Saturday. ?

All back to metal, re-seamed with a primer on. ? Hopefullyw colour goes on tomorrow. ?

In all honesty I don’t know the specifics of the build. ? I gave Jim a budget with a brief of OEM+, stating that I want reliability over performance. So far we have; ”95 harness along with new trans and knock S2 PTU 740cc Nismo injectors “98 gearbox forged piston set Ams manifolds 8 new timing cover bolts Z1 engine mounts 350z fork kit for smoother shifts Stock turbo cartidges Z1 high per clutch with light action New oil lines for turbos. Timing belt Gasket set Z1 sidemount kit and a load of ancillaries. Hopefully once it’s put back together we shouldn’t need to look under the hood again other than for servicing and show time.? Jim just told me it’s this clutch. After suffering with a very heavy clutch previously I wanted something comfortable this time. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-300zx-twin-turbo-tt-performance-street-clutch-kit-p-1834.html?list_name=CategoryClutchandFlywheel&oid=1834%3A0%3A385%3A1&qid=034db3df7cf55ca547075456378bd4c8

Thanks for your support. ? Still a very long way to go but it’s great to finally get some good news. Jim also contacted me to say the parts are ordered for the rebuild along with the “98 box and that he’s happy to store them until the cars ready. That was also a big weight off my mind.
