Anyone have any experience with SpecialtyZ I have an order worth nearly $2500 in with them from the 6th of the month and it just says processing. I have emailed them many times and don't get anything back so i'm abit worried now since its nearly 4 weeks.

Just to note we also have the service manual hosted locally : https://www.300zx.co.uk/files/

I'll keep blasting it with air until no more comes out. I have a 50l compressor and can blast air at nearly 50psi using an air gun I use.

Only outside was blasted, inside believe it or not is still clean original paint. I will be thoroughly blasting it with water and air to ensure no grit is left in the bottom.

Sent the sump away to get blasted and painted : charged me only £35

I literally just liked that statement..

Christ i hope not. Personally my health is good and i dont know anyone that's actually had the so called virus.

Great, long as its not your own..

A slick top is a dark horse of the Z community. I would love to own one but always thought the parts would be harder to get due to hardly any of them being on the road. Only 2 members i know who still have one and i've luckily managed to sit in both and it just feels strange not having the sun on your head. @phutumsch & @Slick Pete. how do you find them for parts ? O, and are they SWB or LWB?, something i dont actually know..

So, Had an idea to drum up some old conversations that may or may not work. All i hear from my kids these days is the words challenge which can drive me nuts so i'm not going to use it again. Instead i invite you all to go find and old thread that is still relevant in most parts and add to its thread with something that is more than just a 'bump' word, add to the conversation, bring it forward and lets see what comes up. *** Only rule is that it must be at least 4 years old.

Mine was just heavily steam washed at close range, dried then undercoated with the rest of the zed.

Happy birthday ?

Look what just arrived.

Parts have started to arrive. New Radiator and Oil Cooler.

New Wiseco Pistons and Eagle Rods now on order ?

Mocal and got Luke from zcentre to order one in for me.

Oil Cooler and Water radiator now ordered too.

Yip

Engine and crank wrapped up safely to keep them protected until all the parts arrive.

mocal 16 row i think, was perfectly fine but cant remember where i got it. As the previous engine failed i had metal filaments going through the system. So i was going to get a new rad rather than take a chance of hosing the old one out.

Not used stock cooler for a long time, but due to my engine failure i'm not risking putting the old cooler back in.

That was two years ago! Why are you digging up old threads and posting on them? Very weird.

Was going to stick to Mocal but just wanted to know best source in UK to order one.

Used to be on the CB years ago and recently decided to get it going again. So i bought myself a CRT9900 10M radio and a Sirio Performer Antenna for my car. You dont need a license for the 11M band ie CB channels on FM but you do if you want to use the others HAM frequencies. So far my furthest contact last week was to South Wales while i was in the car sitting outside Prestwick Airport. Planning to sit my HAM exam shortly as i would like to setup another home base setup and reach out further.

Actually not measured the crank size against the main bearing cradle to give me the clearance sizes yet. I was going to get the garage that cleaned it to do this then i forgot and took the engine home.
