u guys should read the comparison posted in a link above, its interesting and will show you how different yet similar these two great cars are. because its an old review you can guage a feel of how the nissan 300zx was received by the motoring press at the time. its interesting really!

this is the link which compares the two. quite a good read. http://www.300zx.cl/ga/300zx/images/indexauto1189.html

is there any way to enable the actuator manually? am i correct in saying that the actuator is enabled by the handbrake? is it possible to install a US-spec switch to manually adjust this? has anyone done this before? for those of you that dont know, US cars have a switch by the electric mirror switch that has Touring and Sport settings. As far as I know the US cars are adjustable all round and UK only at the rear, is this correct?

hi guys is there a difference between uk and jap rear shocks? i know uk cars are electrically adjusted (arent they?)

'sup dude, welcome to the forum, i'm in harrow not too far. got a reg j reg uk car....

hi guys i would like to have my autobox flushed under pressure so that all the fluid in the torque converter too is changed and the strainer cleaned. can anyone recommend somewhere in northwest london I can have this done? darren

the bushes themselves are widely available, i'm sure one of the traders can sort you out.

silicone grease filled. i am trying to get the same work done! i am trying to get hold of nismo subframe bushes, although they are not made anymore so i might use poly for the subframe and nismo for the rest of the rear bushes.

hi guys i need to polybush the rear of my car, but I was advised that if I have this work done, there will be a small 'clunk' noise when the car takes off in 1st gear. does anyone have this problem? does anyone here know the cure for it? will nismo bushes avoid this? also if anyone can pinpoint which bushes individually cause this please let me know, as i might substitute those particular bushes for Nismo ones. Also, is it 'safe' or advisable to mix polybushes with nismo bushes? thanks darren

on jap cars generally, there is a tag sewed onto the seatbelt towards the bottom, it has a manufactured date, thats how i knew my 300zx reg'd in 1992 (UK car) was made in 1991. i think its a red tag on the zed

mine is 1st reg'd in 1992, but manufactured in 1991, uk car too....

forgot to add, its an auto

hi guys, i wanted to know what you guys think my zed is worth! 1992 UK spec car, red technically 3 owners, but really i'm the second owner. (first owner transferred car to company name) 44,000 miles, Full Nissan Service History front nismo tension rod bushes rear polybushes blueflame oval cat back exhaust apexi air intake cloth interior alpine cd/mp3 player standard otherwise excellent condition inside and out. sorry i have no pictures at the moment, but the condition is excellent, especially for its age.

thats like what i saw! thanks for the info guys! does anyone know much about registering a post 1997 jap car (ones affected here by ESVA) in other EU countries? I know 'Brommler Nissan' in germany import the r34 skyline and sell it, skylines as you know cannot be imported due to esva...

hi guys i saw a black 1999/2000 spec twin turbo when in thailand last year, it had a tan interior, tan recaros, xenons, and the whole aero kit (99 spec spoiler bumper and side skirts). it looked excellent, I was wondering, was this spec car with the recaros a special edition? are there any 1999 spec zeds here in the uk which were imported before the esva rules? darren

excellent read, thanks for the info dude.

if your car feels like its hopping outa line, it may be knackered bushes.

hi did anyone here ever live or park their silver zed on sutton court road in hillingdon? my mate lives there and ages ago i remember seeing a zed parked there whenever i used to visit but not in over a year...

arent they talking about Heston not Helston? Heston is just west of london, near heathrow?? i'm in harrow btw, visit hillingdon quite often.

hi guys, my oil pressure sender isnt working properly (unless my car really works at 0 psi!), Is the one sold by Courtesy Nissan the same as the one for UK cars? Also, are there any aftermarket senders that work with the stock gague? Regards Darren

anyone see the nismo festival on motors tv? if not here it is http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3684874515047111482&q=nismo&pl=true sorry if this is a repost!

hi just to let you guys know i raced a brand new focus st down the a40 today, it was very quick... bbut not as quick as the zed.

i would have thought so, I raced a focus rs near heathrow airport, upto about 40 we were neck and neck then i pulled away, i have an auto twin turbo with blueflame zorst and apexi filter, i thought i would be slower but the few launches that we did I pulled away. However i was sure if the driver of the focus could shift gears better he would have had me upto about 50/60 then the 300zx torque would allow me to surge ahead. i would have thought stock for stock the gtr r33 would kill the focus.

hey if you choose the 'save for video ipod' on the right hand menu it will save as an mpeg 4. made me feel patriotic aout owning the original japanese supercar!
