very cheap....

anyone else got any thoughts on this subject?

bit unfair to say its only worth a grand, if its as good in the flesh, then 4 to 4 and a half seems a fair price for a well services maintanied clean example. christ look at what a 100 jap import can be like, no histopry engine knocking on heavens door and still running the standard airbox.

my ash tray has yen in it. i wonder how what else il find...

they do draw power constantly as certain componets are constantly live. so its probally flat. most proper battery shops will tst the battery outy the car for you and do a deep charge for a small fee. then once cahrged upo fire the car up and test the volts across teh batt running and off. you shouldget 12v engine off and 14 odd engine running.

looks pretty quick out there compared to everything else.

im going to be dropping the car by around 25 to 30mm at the front, its been suggested that i could do with adjustable front camber arms as it will throw the front camber out. dta used to do a packer kit but obviously they are now out of buisness. anyone got any suggestions cos £150 for cheap adjustables is a bit steep considering how small the drop is.

there are a few members out that way that would probally be happy to come look with you. make sure its not a bad example. looks good in the advert. please look into how you will look after this car once in france. as im led to believe they are quite rare there, will you have someone who you can trust to work on them, not many places can/will/or should work on the 300zx.

the standard viscous is hudge and pulls massive amounts of air being very effient, to replace it with an electronic unit that is of large enough size is quite expensive. most offered are simply not large enough to do the job and cause over heating issues. do a quick search, you need a minium air flow rate of blah im sure its on here. or somebody will know it off hand.

mine had been cut and a set of backboxes welded on which are now in my garage. the rets of the zorst was brown cheese. there is a restriction ring that can be popped out behind the cat. it was sure loud. but droney.

i wouldnt bother its probally just some rusty tubes by now.

yeh thats correct the high pressure will cause internal damage. you can modify the tt pump but it will be easier to fit an na one bear in mind the brackets are different as wel.

i agree i quite like the 300c but they arnt holding there value well. not well at all, is there a reason for this? i dunno. but i would bet its probally to do with poor mpg due to its yank hertiage and cheap build quality. i love american cars but we all know they are made out of lunch boxes.

24 sky for me over half the price of adrian flux and a third of admiral. im paying about 800 atm with 2 years no claims an accident and 3 points on the books.

as above really i know i can get the oem ones from zcentre but he doesnt seem to do the magnetic sump plug, id like to order it from the same place for an easy life. :D anyone tryed diffent oil filters, like the hks one with the non return valve. any merrit in this idea or always best to stick with the orginal.:donatello:

well that explains things lol, nah jks. i just looked at the pic again and noticed the inner part of the alloy. so im pretty ofay with what it is now lol. ouch is this common?

where exactly is this?

i think i read somewhere that taking the engin eout from below effects the steering geometry in some way that is very difficult to rectify. i understand what your on about ian you want to know how much clearnace you need under the car to be able to swing the gearbox out attached to the engine. without the back of the box hitting the floor

not sure buddy, cant imagine much, i would get some onbe who knows wheat they are looking for to have a quick once over under there on a lift and check its all set up correctly

london isnt it? the meets they have there always seem pretty cool.

i would have a look at the geometery maybe its had a knock and it sitting out, or maybe some of your bushes are worn doesnt sound liek the shocks themselves, maybe anti roll bar bushes,.

lol yeh i think by the time ive got the parts together and fixed the crap to refit, it probally will be next week now before i can refit. :( still it will give me time to do some other bits while its sat there off the floor

pump ios out thanks to gaz and no real futher forward as to where its been leaking from so im going to refurb the pump and change the lines. make it nice and fresh.

apprantly this was them and its normal from time to time, the fault has been delt with.

that i must see lol.
