"I don't want to start a bidding war" haha also, about the boost you can hear some air leaking at idle and at full throttle, so I think I might be the boost controller incorrectly set up or just a leak in the system.

Thanks, Yours sure looks good too though! And of course a manual. Thinking i might do a manual conversion in the far future for my Z, the manuals are so much more sought after.

Give me some prior warning as i will need to retax and my dad to insure it haha, as it is a project the plan is for it to be sorn most of the time, but i need to get the cambelt changed and the boost looked at so it will have to go to a garage sometime.

Thanks Funksyi, its just that the stock turbos are so quiet you cant hear a spool up, blow or whu-tu-tu and so you might be convinced they aren't there. i just wanted something to show off the twin garretts.

Hi Greg, Unfortunately i think i am going to respray the z to white because i think it brings out the taillights better and makes it stand out more. Sorry! The speaker grills sounds like a good offer but let me save up some more money before i start buying parts left right center etc. If you still have them in about a month i would probably buy them but for now im going to work with what i have. OH and to anyone with objections to a WHITE respray raise them please!

My car has decals from SCC performance, after a quick google they seem to have good reviews. Has anyone used it for their z?

South East Garage
For anyone who lives in the South East/London what garages can you recommend? I know there is a Z Centre in Bristol which is THE place to go to but for anyone who near London where do you go to get work done the your Z?

Hey Baz, I asked a breaker for a quote for the items and he has come back with: engine cover £15 and rear speaker grills £15 postage £10.00. Is this a good deal or would you be able to get it better? Thanks, Ali

Youngest owner of a z32
Thanks Andy. Does anyone know of a reliable garage in/around london to get work done to it such as cambelt change etc. Also can someone direct me to some south east meets?

Hi Stephan, yeah insurance for a 1 litre golf is about 5k for the first year and about 2.5 so ill probably be an additional driver on the beaut panda sitting there :P. When I'm about 20 is when I will drive it properly, might go to a few meets before then like my dad might take me to japfest 2016 if the car is up to it. Regarding the red door, the owner before the previous owner had it smashed into and the ignition ripped out. Pekabu who I bought it from replaced the door and spray canned the outside black to make it fit in, and replaced the ignition and locks with titanium key ones. The project is for the first year going to be mainly repairs and getting the car mint, after that all the mods will come in. Is anyone against me painting the car white and getting jdm spec clear tail lights?

Youngest owner of a z32
:D i saw them on someone elses z and i heard they help with not releasing too much pressure when the throttle is shut so the boost stays on.
-
Youngest owner of a z32
Oh and also just for the reference the car was sold by Pekabu on the forum.

Hi the club, I am 16 and i recently purchased a 300zx and it will be my restoration project for a couple of years. The car is 1990 automatic Twin Turbo targa top. Good things: - It only has 46,000 miles on the clock (74,000 km) - I think it has barely 1000 miles on the automatic gearbox only recently replaced. - It has MOT and drives well, gear changes are really smooth. - coilovers with lowered suspension and a kakimoto titanium exhaust - (apparently) really rare JDM from and back bumpers but missing the side skirts in the set (if someone could identify the bumpers that would be great so i could find the skirts for it - aftermarket ECU (not sure what make) - It has an aftermarket air filter Bad points: - When driving you can hear an air leak and the car will not boost properly. (the previous owner said that the oil pressure and boost gauge work when they wont to but i have never seen the dial move, boost pressure stays at just over 0 psi and wont move. he said that it has a defi gauge controller but has no gauges connected so i am guessing that the oil pressure and boost gauges have been cut and re-routed to the defi). There is a possibility that it will still boost but it is not noticeable enough as the acceleration is very linear. Questions: 1. Does any one know of any good z specialist in/around London. I heard Z centre in Bristol is the place to go to, but its not really worth the trip at this stage. 2. Does anyone have an electronic boost controller they could sell which might fix the cars boosting problem. i have a blitz sequential boost controller but i am missing the solenoid and i have no idea if it works or not. 3. It has been recommended I replace the cam belt as I don't know if it has ever been replaced. Is there anything additional i should be thinking of replacing at the same time and where i should go. (I will get the boost looked at if I do not fix it) 4. Are all z32 turbos really quiet? i plan on upgrading to bailey dual dump valves which will help performance but also give the iconic turbo pressure release sound. should i hear the turbos spinning at high rpms or at lease a whu-tu-tu-tu when slamming the throttle shut or do i have to upgrade to really expensive turbos for that to work? Now for the parts: I heard somebody on the forum had a pair of rear speaker grills, could i get in contact with someone that does, Thanks. Also if anybody is breaking a car does anyone have an engine cover as i do not have one. (the 'Nissan v6 3000' metal plate thing) Finally does someone have a drivers side targa wind deflector, a little plastic bar that rises when you take the targas on it. my brother snapped it off (don't worry, i dealt with him). Thanks and hi everyone, I'm Ali - - - Updated - - - Oh, and the video of the bumpers and tour is: for some reason it put it as an image
