What did you do to your zed today?
So what does that make my 400hp Z at now then with the hp per tonne vs 09 GTR :whistling: And I bet a lot of people thought I was talking out of my hoop when I mentioned about it a while back, I stayed up with the GTR convoy on are way to Japfeast :yes: And i Still got loads more weight to come out! I reckon I'll be getting it under 1400 kg... I will post up a picture again soon With another weighing.

Slicktop Na manual
I've now decided to put this up for sale. if I'm honest I've now pretty much lost interest and it's time to move on which I already have done with the V300 Aristo. Selling all three of my Zed cars now. Recently got the train all the way up to Liverpool from down south to collect it off of Tom. But unfortunately on the way back home halfway I think the flywheel has failed and it won't start now. Needs to be trailered to power Z To get the clutch and flywheel installed that is in the boot brand-new in the box. This is the message I got from Tom swb na manual slicktop, 1992 K reg, series 2. Mileage will be roughly 100k. I bought it as a project so engine was removed, flushed out, water pump, thermostat changed, pretty much everything that should be done while the engine is out, cambelt changed, engine bay sprayed satin black. It has a John dixon chipped ECU which does make a difference, shes not slow even for an na. Cat back exhaust system. Rare central 20 rear spoiler & an even rarer sports lip on the front. Just had a full respray in the original colour. No rust on the body, underneath is solid too. Has tt brakes all round & updated discs. Koni shocks & springs which must only have about 1k miles on them. One piece prop. There is a slight drop of oil between engine & box, front crank seal I think. Also, the clutch release bearing is noisy when foot is off the clutch in neutral. However, I do have a brand new clutch kit & flywheel to go with the car & a new seal so both jobs can be done when the box is out. It is a lovely car nice interior and bodywork as it's just been re-sprayed but like I've mentioned I've lost interest now.

Highly modified 300zx TT Manual
i've decided to put up for sale my weapon of a Z for a couple of reasons, 1 I hardly ever use it and 2 i own five cars currently! My daily Is the Mk2 Vertex Aristo TwinTurbo. Very busy at the moment at work will do a proper write-up in the next couple of days. It was at powerZ A couple of months ago no expenses spared gave Jimbo an open cheque And instructed him to do everything that needs to be done to make it reliable and awesome Which he did. He commented on it now handles like it's on rails and Really smooth engine! Any serious interest please PM. I think a lot of you guys already know this Z32 it's also on YouTube . Price is £8500 i've spent A lot of money to get it to the standard it is now. Will update soon thank you.

Ver-s, one of the last ones ever made of it's type
Okay can't believe I'm actually doing this but, I'm going to be now selling probably one of the cleanest on 300ZXs in the country. This was originally up for £10,000 When it landing in the UK. I really wanted it at the time so i managed to negotiate with our club importer and went and picked it up about a year and a half ago.. It's been dry stored in the aircraft hanger since I've owned it one of the privileges I have. it also gets started up and run every few weeks gets treated with aviation anticorrosion spray. it's needs to be seen to be appreciated. It will come with 12 months fresh MOT it go straight through with no advisories I'm that confident with it. it's like driving a new car, again it needs to be driven and seen to be truly appreciate how special this little gem is compared to a lot of the others out there. Genuine reason for sale. This particular model if you can find one in Japan are going for crazy money, so this is definitely an investment at this price. I will be extremely sad to see it go as I know I'll never get another like it. But I need additional funds to go towards project Slicktop. NISSAN 300ZX N/A AUTOMATIC TARGA ROOF 40500 MILES FROM NEW NOT LONG IN FROM JAPAN WOULD MAKE A GREAT DAILY DRIVER CURRENTLY DRY STORED IN AN AIRCRAFT HANGAR. PROBABLY THE MOST ORIGINAL Z32 IN THE UK 100% STOCK! THE 300ZX WAS DISCONTINUED HERE IN THE UK IN 1995, BUT CONTINUED TO BE SOLD IN JAPAN UNTIL AUGUST 2000. THIS LITTLE PIECE OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY WAS REGISTERED IN JAPAN IN AUGUST 2000 AND IS THEREFORE ONE OF THE LAST ONES EVER MADE OF IT'S TYPE THIS IS THE NORMALLY ASPIRATED 3 LITRE TARGA TOP 2+2 MODEL GZ32 THE CAR COMES IN GLEAMING SILVER PAINT WORK THAT IS ONLY MARRED BY A SMALL PATCH OF RUB ON THE SILL BY THE FRONT OFFSIDE WHEEL ARCH, VERY EASY AND WOULD NOT BE COSTLY TO CORRECT THE BODYWORK IS IMMACULATE AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RUST ANYWHERE. THE VULNERABLE SPOTS BEING THE SILS AND WHEEL ARCHES AND AROUND THE TAILGATE NEAR THE WINDOW, BUT AS IT HAS COME FROM THE HOTTER SOUTHERN AREA OF JAPAN IT HAS REMAINED RUST FREE, AND MORE SO AS IN JAPAN THEY DO NOT SALT THEIR ROADS. BEING THE LAST OF LINE IT HAS ALL OF THE UPGRADES THAT WERE AFFORDED TO THE LATER MODELS SUCH AS THE FRONT BUMPER, AND THE REAR SPOILER. IN ADDITION THE FRONT SEATS HAD RED INNER PANELS AND THE 300ZX LOGO AT THE REAR, PLUS THE DASHBOARD DIALS WERE PRESENTED IN WHITE. ON THIS MODEL THE REAR SEATS ARE LEATHER AND LOOK LIKE NO ONE HAS EVER SAT IN THEM, WHILST THE FRONT SEATS ARE FREE FROM ANY BOLSTER WEAR. THE CAR HAS LOADS OF SERVICE HISTORY 26.9.2000 1157 29.7.2009 17050 23.7.2011 24100 06.8.2013 38400 22.7.2015 52200 24.8.2017 64100 THE CAR NOW HAS 69295 KM SHOWING ON THE DASH ALL OF THE REGISTRATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND IT HAS AN W PLATE INTERNALLY ALL OF THE ELECTRICS WORK, INCLUDING THE AIR-CONDITIONING AND THE POWER WINDOW AND MIRRORS THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A PATCH OF LEATHER WORN ACROSS THE TOP AND A SMALLER ON ONE THE RIGHT, SO TO BRING IT BACK TO PRISTINE WOULD NEED RECOVERING AT SOME POINT THE DASH IS IN TOP CONDITION. NO CRACKS OR HOLES BEEN DRILLED INTO IT. AND NO PULLING AWAY NEAR THE WINDSCREEN LIKE MANY DO THE TARGA TOPS REMOVE AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON AND LOOKING INSIDE THE APERTURE THE RUBBER SEALS ALL LOOK TO BE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THIS IS A GREAT FEATURE OF THE 300ZX AS IT ALLOWS BOTH HARD TO AND CONVERTIBLE DRIVING. GREAT FOR THE SUMMER AND STILL GREAT FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR THE WHEELS ARE THE STANDARD NISSAN ISSUE AND ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH ONLY A COUPLE SHOWING MINOR SCUFFS. THERE IS A SUPER SET OF BRIDGESTONE POTENZA TYRES ON THE WHEELS UNDERNEATH THE CAR IT IS SPOTLESS. HAVING COME FROM THE SOUTH OF JAPAN WHERE THE CLIMATE IS VERY WARM, AND ADDED TO THE FACT THAT THE JAPANESE DON'T SALT THEIR ROADS, HAS ALLOWED THIS OUTSTANDING CAR TO REMAIN IN NEAR NEW CONDITION. YOU CAN SEE BY A COUPLE OF THE PICS I HAVE TAKEN OF THE INSIDES OF THE WHEELS THAT THE MECHANISM IS SPOTLESS THE ENGINE BAY IS REALLY CLEAN AS IS THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BONNET. I ALWAYS LOOK THERE TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAS EXPLODED UPWARDS AT ANY POINT IN TIME. THIS ONE IS VERY CLEAN THE BODYWORK AND PAINT THIS IS AN 18 YEAR OLD CAR AND IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, SHOWING VERY FEW MINOR BLEMISHES, THERE IS ONE TINY LITTLE DENT BY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE ONLY OTHER MINOR ISSUES ARE THAT THE WIPER ARMS COULD DO WITH PAINING AS THEY HAVE WORN A LITTLE, AND THE SCUTTLE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE HAS WORN PAINT THROUGH HEAT, AND ALSO COULD DO WITH REPAINTING. AS YOU CAN SEE THESE ARE REALLY MINOR ISSUES THAT ANY ENTHUSIAST WOULD BE ABLE TO CORRECT EASILY THE CAR COMES WITH ALL OF THE JAPANESE PAPERWORK AND SERVICE BOOK AND OWNERS MANUAL, plus TWO KEYS AND ONE SPARE MAKING THREE IN TOTAL THE CAR WELL COME WITH A FRESH MOT, TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A 30 MILES TEST DRIVE YESTERDAY AND THE WORD IS: FANTASTIC!!! DRIVES SO SMOOTHLY. THE REVS ARE PERFECT FOR EVERY GEAR CHANGE WHICH IS SEAMLESS. NO CLONKING, JUST SUPER SMOOTH CHANGES. THE ENGINE PERFORMS FAULTLESSLY, NOT AS FAST AS THE TURBO BUT STILL REALLY QUICK AND RESPONDS WELL TO THE KICKDOWN. THIS IS REALLY FAST. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY OF THESE OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS AND THIS ONE IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE VERY BEST. I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF MANY OF THE ORIGINAL HORSES HAVE SKIPPED THE PADDOCK THE STEERING IS TIGHT AND THE HANDLING IS OUTSTANDING. CORNERING IS A REAL PLEASURE. NO CABIN SMELLS AND NO OBVIOUS RATTLES OF ANY OF THE TRIM. I CHECKED THE EXHAUST FUMES AFTER THE RUN AND THERE IS JUST A LITTLE NORMAL CLEAR GAS COMING OUT THE BACK. NO SMOKE OF ANY DESCRIPTION. CHECKED THE ENGINE FOR LEAKS AS WELL, AND THERE IS NONE THE IDLING IS EXACTLY WHERE IT SHOULD BE AT AROUND 700 RPM, AND THE OIL PRESSURE IS REALLY STRONG PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU WANT VIA MESSAGING I ONLY ASK ONE THING. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME WHATS THE LOWEST I WILL TAKE. I TREAT THAT AS AN INSULT TO ME AND THE CAR.

Insurance
Forget, Lancaster Footmen and James sky and Adrian flux. Just go on moneysupermarket! they will Absolutely put them to shame. They used to be the best specialist car Insurance for the last 10 years and I’ve been with them all. I’ve now changed as there is a lot more competition out there offering better prices no need to stay with these guys no such thing as loyalty.

Black Version R!
Good afternoon gents , As it says in the title I’m looking for a black version R I would prefer a 2K model turbo auto or turbo manual if not crazy money. Obviously this is aimed at members that already have one that might be thinking to sell?. If you would like an easy sale hassle free then fire me over a PM and we can go from there, also would consider a possible deal with my August 2000 version S. Will even consider a black manual TwinTurbo late spec With tasteful mods. But (absolutely no rust or corrosion) underneath and good paintwork ! I’m not in no rush but would like to get one later on this year . Might even look at bringing one over again BUT I’ll probably do it myself this time :cowboy: I’ve had my fun with the BMW’s but to be honest they haven’t got the character and the soul of the Z.

Slicktop Z32 in manual freshly imported with absolutely zero rust or corrosion! Mileage:43000 Dec 1996 Z paintwork is not up to standard so I've now lost interest in this, as it was going to be a show car for me.

Just had a major service on the 26th of June at a specialist garage in the UK that specialises in these cars no expenses spared. Water bypass carried out on plenum TPS and idle set up 60 k belt service thermostat tensioner water pump Bridge hoses and antifreeze installed new gear stick bushing oil and filter service with new NGK platinum spark plugs, fill filter air filters differential oil change. Good to go 100-percent reliable now and should be for many years to come you have peace of mind with this one. ebay link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253854464530 £3995 ovno

Injen Cold Air Intake, Polished, Non-Turbo NA - Nissan 300ZX Z32
New but opened, was shipped from the USA to me with no box. i will box it up for posting. The Injen Technology intake system is a high-performance, dyno-proven system made of CNC mandrel bent 6061 T-6 aluminum alloy. The 300ZX intake is carefully engineered for a perfect fit and superior performance. Many other intakes in the market are made of 3.00" diameter tubes. This may cause friction between the battery and the intake system, dented hoods and an unbalanced air fuel ratio which can be harmful to your engine. Injen Technology has taken extra measures to ensure that the consumer gets what they paid for: optimum throttle response. We polish every intake for those who are conscious of aesthetics along with horsepower gain. With the use of 1/4" thick 6061 T-6 aluminum and precise CNC machined brackets and adapters. Injen Intaks come with a limited lifetime warranty to ensure a quality intake for years to come. Looking for £265 ono posted.

HKS Hi-Power Hiper Catback Exhaust
HKS 3106-EX003 Hi-Power / Hiper Catback Exhaust System 2-Seater Z32 300zx. New but box opened by me. must come to pick up from Middlesex. The HKS Hi-Power is one of the best flowing and best sounding exhausts for the 300ZX, and is still of very high quality despite the low price. Hi-Power Exhaust systems incorporate a race inspired angle mounted stainless steel muffler and piping design for greater flow and higher-RPM power gains, which provides a less restrictive path for exhaust gasses compared to many exhaust systems, which mimic the stock exhaust with two ~90° bends. The large, angled mufflers compliment cars with a low, wide, aggressive stance. You can expect a 20HP gain on a Twin Turbo, and a 10HP gain on Non-Turbos (Coupe Only). The HKS Hi-Power will NOT fit on a 2+2 model. Looking for £595 ono.

Selling up!
If Garry Warren ie Gazwoz had any common decency as an official so-called club Importer he would offer to buy back this z32 that he imported! I would never have handed over the money to him if I knew the state of it I trusted Him as I thought he knew what he was doing... I'd like to bring it tomorrow so everyone can see the z32 but for unseen circumstances I can't attend unfortunately. But I will say what goes around comes around! I'm also seeking legal advice now and will be taking legal action against him! I'm not going to let him get away with this, the more I think about it the more wound up I get!! :2guns:

Selling up!
Just to make people aware I will be putting my Slicktop NA manual up for sale very soon! with most of the bits I bought for it that I spent an absolute fortune on. I want to move on to something else now after terrible experience I've had recently with trusting someone... I've lost all interest in it now! I'm super busy at the moment but I should have some free time in the next couple of days so I will try to list as much as I can which is quite a bit of stuff I will be selling that I got from CZP Arizona.

My terrible experience with trusting a so called club Importer to bring in a z32!
Craig, If you have an email might be easier for me to send the correspondence so you can see for yourself? But putting it shortly I approached Gary and asked him to find me what I was looking for Ie a slicktop na. I did find one myself and was interested in it and asked him to investigate it but we didn't hear nothing back from the seller for a while, in the meantime he bought to my attention a z32 that is coming up on auction soon ie the next day, he mentioned the seat steering wheel being warm but he said I remember you saying you've got replacements is had a paint change it's a great 3.5 with low mileage one owner from new ect with regards to the paintwork he stated that he could get the bonnet and roof painted white for £300 or around that amount. And that it should be winnable for around £3,300. So I was under the impression the things that need doing I've got the replacements for the paintwork i.e the roof and bonnet will be painted for £300. But unfortunately things didn't work out like this for me. In all this cost me around £8,000 total with the money I put into this that I'll never see again... I like to go into more detail but I need to get ready for duty. I'm really busy at the moment. I'll possibly be bringing it over on Sunday so people can see the car and I could probably talk to you then?
