Cheers for the welcome everyone! I recognise that name funkysi, think theres a vid of his car on Youtube somewhere. Is it a white one with 99 rear spoiler and Veilside exhaust? Joely it does pull very well but got very smoky after the last oil & filter change. Suspect it was running thicker oil as I have put Mobil 1 10w40 in at the oil change, but I hardly used it between May & October last year as I was working away and I think Kurt had it standing for a bit so all that sitting around can't have helped. It's just bellowing smoke out between 5 and 20 mins of it being started from cold. Thinking of putting some 15w50 in to tide me over till I have the rebuild done.

I will at some point, I normally pass their house about 7 in the morning though so not sure if they would appreciate that :-) Are there any local meets around Nottm/Derby? Yeah it was Kurt, real nice guy. He gave me a massive wad of history with the car, even has the original Japanese dealers documents!! I think it belonged to somebody called Isaac before him (think that might be zxeyes?)

Hi Mark, Yes I used to see a few around Nottingham where the owners all had the cars for a long time but they seem to have all gone!! I've seen a house in Nott'm with 2 lovely modified 300's outside (a white and a red) Adam

Hi all, My name's Adam from Nottingham. I have a 1992 JDM 300ZX Twin Turbo which I have owned for about a year now. It has the following modifications currently- Stainless Exhaust & Apexi Filter Blitz Access ECU Greddy Profec Boost Controller Lightweight Prop Shaft Injen Chrome Intercooler Hardpipes Braided Fuel Lines Silicon Coolant & PCV Hoses Chrome all over the engine bay (thinking of removing some of it) Replaced the front lights with earlier spec dark headlamps as one of the previous owners fitted lights with silver inserts which I wasn't as keen on. Advan Siena 2 Wheels with Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrical Tyres KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks with Eibach Springs K-Sport 8 Pot Big Brake Calipers '99-Spec Rear light panels with LED Fogs & Reverse Lights Later type dash pod with climate control. It had a 99 spec front bumper when I bought it but had a slight mishap with a pheasent late last year and it wasnt repairable. Replaced it with an early spec front bumper which I think I prefer (although I wish I had the strip sprayed matt black) so will be sticking with that when I eventually have the car resprayed. Next plans are an engine rebuild with new turbos later in the year.

Cool cheers for that

Its one the first 2 pics if you hit previous, cheers

Sorry, not sure if this should be in the General Z Forum

I am looking at buying a Z and have seen one for sale. I know its hard to judge from a photo but on the picture of it the panel in between the headlights looks like it is slightly higher than the bumper at the front edge, where it normally rests just below from what I've seen (this will be my first 300). The top edge looks level with the bonnet. Is that a sign of an accident or can it be adjusted. The panels all look fine apart from that. I'm having to travel 200 miles to see the car.
