would any of these things also be causing another problem that i've had? when i hammer it for a bit, then go back to normal driving the car stutters abit at low revs?

i've recently had a little problem when starting the zed. it fires up without a problem but after about 10 15 seconds the idle drops to about 300 until i give it a few revs. I've also found that when this happens, if i turn the engine off and then on again it runs fine. anyone got any idea on what could be causing this? by the way its a n/a if that makes any difference.

if you want to borrow the money then send me your paypal details and i'll gift you the wedge :lol:

I used to have 1 of those 15" jl audio subs built into the spare wheel well in my old e30 estate with an enormous box acting as a false floor. when powered properly, (i choose a 2200w amp) they can throw some seriously insane amounts of bass!!!

i don't really know ipswich very well but if someone suggests a place to meet then i'll find it. and as i said i'm good for any weekend :thumbup1:

so when are we guna meet up around ipswich? i'm pretty much good for any weekend.

no worries mate. theres no hurry, i quite like having the very first 300zx :thumbup1:

Just got my membership pack this morning. although my name was printed wrong on the card, it was printed as tomomontane. also i noticed that my car was also built in 1900 rather that 1990, if thats true then i surely have the oldest ever 300zx :lol:

i used to have these wheels, they are made by ace but ain't got a clue of the actual design name.

i will be up for it.

i've got pretty much the same on my car 235/45/18 9j on the front and 265/40/18 10j on the back and my z is lowered and i have had no problem at all except excessive wear on the inside of the rear tyres. But that is nothing that a set of camber adjusters can't fix.

he's another old vid of him

anyone local up for meet at some point soon.

he said that because he is an idiot and knows nothing about cars (he drives a micra) :) when we spoke about my car ages ago i told him that in japan its known as a fairlady z, so from that he assumes that makes it a fake 300?! he obviously hasn't got the brains he was born with.

hello mate, that was my zed. i was told someone was outside my my boss wouldn't let me go out to say hello.

your right, it doesn't have an mot or tax but for the money it is a bargain! with a tiny bit of effort it will be a great z.

the £1000 pound one seems like a bargain to me too! i would have it if i had the money!!! although it has no front bumper. but if you do buy it then stop in colchester on your way back as my new bumper is being fitted next week so i'll have a spare standard 1 in silver.

you didn't seem rude mate, so don't worry about it. waiting for the right z to come along is safest bet mate, and i'm sure it will. i rushed in first time i bought a z and it turned out to be a complete lemon! luckily for me i managed to sell it for slighty more than i bought it for so everything worked out ok. as the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait. anyway good luck with finding the right car, and when you do find it, post up some photo's for the rest of us :thumbup1:

it's only a scratch, bit of filler and paint and it'll be like new :laugh:

hello mate, i'm not a satnav :blink: i went round to have a look about an hour ago. the engine isn't running on 5 cylinders but is runnin pretty rough. i definatley think it's down to electrical connection somewhere rather than anything more serious. the bloke seemed pretty honest to me, he's sunk alot of money into trying to get the engine sorted but obviously not with a mechanic who knows what he's doing. there has blatently been someone havin a try at sorting the problem recently as alot of the top electrical connectors, pipework and plastic cover have been unscrewed and not bothered to be put back together properly. someone who knows what they are doing could probably sort this out quite quickly and easily. the body work on the other hand is pretty shabby. although no problems with the dreaded metal worm except under the rear spoiler (usual problem)! it would definatley need a respray as there are scratches, scraps and a couple of small dents. the front bumper would need replacing or repairing as is broken on both sides at the bottom (he said it was caused by the speed bump at the end of his road) also all the lights at the back would need replacing as they were all cracked and scratched (i would change them personally because they look untidy). inside the car was ok but also a bit shabby. whoever had looked at it before me had pulled the carpet back to look at the ecu (could have been the seller as he stated he had run a diognostic check it came back with code 55) and left it like that. when i had a look, the carpet felt damp, leading me to believe that the roof also leaks although the seller said that it didn't. all in all, personally i would only buy this car just to break, as by the time you've spent the money to get it up to scratch both mechanically and cosmetically, you probably could have bought one that is ready to jump in and go. everything that i have written is only my opinion though so it's completely up to you what you decide. hope that i have been some help to you.

thats a super duper idea roobarb. :lol:

i'll try and get round there at the weekend at some point and then let you know my findings.

i don't mind having a look as long as you promise to never say super duper ever again :laugh:

i live just round the corner from this car, if you want i can go and have a look, check out the general condition and see if it is maybe a coil pack problem.

my work decided to block my computer from ebay, youtube, facebook etc. i looked around the until i found this code notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts copy and paste it into the windows run bit and it lets you unblock what ever has been blocked. it worked for me anyway.
