Well now I've given up trying to sell my apparently worthless zed.... I pulled the plenum to delete the water pipes, only to find more then a few missing gasket, guess it pays to work for Nissan as I'd already ordered the replacements, after a good clean and a bit of paint it's back together and running really well, my boost controller needs setting up again now, must have been some major boost leaks under there...

Where did he fins that zed, 500 miles on the clock wow...

My zed's not my daily drive, it only goes to meets and show, I love it and the noise, but drove it back from japfest without the bungs in, 10mins up the road I regreted it. With the bungs in its OK but still drones on long journeys, hence why I now have electric valves in my exhaust so I can shut off the drone whilst cruising, Not trying to put you off, I like the noise just recommend you have a way of silencing quickly it if needed.

I'm working Saturday so might take it with me and see if I can talk our valeting guy into doing it, if not It'll probably be dirty lol...

You seen the electronic by pass pipes? Like some of the yanks use, big y shape pipe with an electronic valve inside , closed it goes through the cats/ back box, open it dumps it normally through a side exit... not that I'd thought of going down that route with my 370 lol... You going to Beaulieu? My slicktop will be there with that z1 exhaust on it.

I've the z1 exhaust, hehe, yes it's very loud, even with bungs it's still 105db, sounds Great for a while but novelty wears off real fast. I'm not changing it though...

I'm a parts manager lol... I'm just jealous lol,

Is there any chance you'd allow any non 300's on stand with us? The other club I'm with were going to be doing it this year, but the numbers aren't there, in fact its 2 celicas, ( very nice ones) just wondering if they could join us and park on the end or something, I understand if there's no room, or its not ok, just have to ask.

Well nissan can go #### themselves, nice to let the dealer network know of a special event like this, Great pictures the zeds look great. Shame to hear about ceejays car.

A mate of mine is looking for a pair of toggle levers for the handbrake shoes on his r33, ours are the same, so if anyone has a pair can you let me know, Trying to avoid having to order them as they are a month away new...

Yes aircraft maintenance mechanic. Particularly avionics.

Hopefully there's someone down south in the airforce, I would like to go a station visit, or better still talk to an amm. As that's what I'm currently applying for, I want to go into avionics, It seems to be really hard to get a visit, I know security is very high at the moment, but the recruiter said it's a good idea. Any insight anyone could give me would be appreciated. Thanks ash.

Unfortunately I'm definitely out of totb, I need the money to put the zed into storage for a while, As much as I really want to, it would force my hand if blew the rest of my funds playing. If I can store it, hopefully things will be different next year, and she can come and play then. Sorry guys.

Right reluctantly my slicktop is currently for sale, I know I said I wouldn't part with it but my circumstances are changing and I can only bring one car so it's not going to get the attention it deserves. It's a 1995 slicktop twin turbo manual, in silver, Bad points Wiper arms need a repaint, Small rust bubble on drivers rear arch Roof trim needs repairing Odometer doesn't work, hasn't worked for a while according to its previous owner. Good points: Front Mount Intercooler Uprated Alloy Radiator Apexi Air Filter Adjustable FPR With Gauge JD Chip Greddy Spec 2 Profec EBC Defi Boost Gauge MeisterR Coilovers 6/4 Ajustable Front Tension Rods (MeisterR) Adjustable Front camber arms (MeisterR) Uprated Clutch Driftworks HICAS Arms 18" Rota GTR Alloys with 8.5" front 9.5" rear (all need refurb) Brand new Bridgestone Tyres all round D2 8 pot front brakes w/330mm (purple) Brand new discs and yellowstuff pads. Rear nissan calipers colour coded (purple) Brand new HIDs 99 Spec Front Bumper Front fog ducts 99 Spec rear light copies Light up Rear centre panel Rare front and rear spats Leather Seats Alcantara Door cards and trim Momo Steering wheel Alarmed and Immobiliser - Sigma S30 Z1 motorsports 3" pg catback exhaust, fitted with electric exhuast valves as it's very noisy, but I liked it. Blitz r-vit rare real time obd reader. Tow straps are removable but will require a new duct as I cut it up as lydden wouldn't let it on track without one. Spent lots of time putting things right on this zed, now runs drives stops as it should. Think it's mot'd till September but I will put a year on it as it will pass Reads 126000 ish miles, but some will be km and as odometer doesn't work it could be anything. I ve done roughly 2500 miles since I got it. Fast fun zed, rare slicktop twin turbo manual, late spec, I want £5,500 ovno, car is located in Haywards heath, Sussex As some of you know I'd previously had offers on the car, one couldn't find the money, the other was an idiot so I refused to sell it to him, he would have been ruined, I've a month before things change so if I still have it then I guess I'll have to find a lockup for it. just noticed/remembered the rust patch on the drivers door, so best make it an even £5000 ono

Thanks guys, Tbh a trade customer of mine has a highly modified 370 that recently had an incident on a wet road, well among other salvageable shiny bits is a stillen supercharger, well when he found out I had just brought a 370 too, he's offered me first dibs on bits, as apparently the rear is destroyed, so un repairable. I like superchargers alot, just haven't worked if I like the idea more then owning my 300...

It's a starting point, but it's had a few thousand spent on it in its short time with me, as well as many hours of putting things right, it doesn't rattle any more, it boosts properly, drives straight, lights actually work now. Actually stops now. Thing is I've 2 buyers already lined up, that have asked for first refusal on it, they have made offers just wanted to know what the experts thought it was worth.

Trying to value my slicktop, not going into why but the concept of selling has come up, It's a 95 twin turbo manual slicktop Most people know of it on here, n300 swb, Can you guys help me work what I should be asking for it. As zed prices seem all over the place. Has new Bridgestone tyres, 3" z1 catback and the front brake disc and pads replaced along with a few minor changes in my ownership, runs and drives well, only real fault is the odometer doesn't work. Thanks.

Mine is an import. '95 slicktop tt manual

Same here my swb does it every time, bit of a twist and works fine.

Wow, just realised its over a 4 hour drive, and 500+ mile round trip

Settles that then, the z32 faster anyway,

Does the event ticket cover boot camp and camping? I'm still planning on coming, my 300 can take part although it's not as far along As it was supposed to be, I'm toying with the idea of trying the 370 out.

One of my old zed's did that, think the ignition switch was sticky iirc,

Let's just say it's a few thousand cheaper then any on autotrader, Don't get me wrong the 300zx is my favourite, hence why my slicktop is staying, and tbh I don't like the 350 at all, the 370 reminds me more of the old datsun zs which is probably why I like it. Rather annoyingly the dp has now decided we are getting a nismo 370z as a demo, as he didn't like me driving a nicer car then his.
