White UK 300 breaking
None of the UK cars will have the later style injectors Lee as these didn’t come in until around ‘96 manufactured cars.

Newbie looking into a Japanese Sports car - Should it be a 300ZX???
I used to own that grey UK car. I sold it in 2006 as it needed the sills repairing along with a few other defects. It has changed hands a few times in the 12 years since then and as far as I know the sills have still not been repaired. Judging by the vlogs of some of the previous owners I would suggest it’s been done badly if it has!

Do you not mean #14 and #20?

Big Power + Big Brakes callout!!
I’d say it also comes down to what you consider acceptable performance wise. In my experience a fully functional, properly serviced stock braking system on 2+2 full fat twin turbo will “start” to fade after only a handful of hard braking events for consecutive roundabouts on a public road. You could take it easy for a while and “nurse” them but if you keep going they will get worse quickly and soon fall off the cliff with boiling fluid.

Big Power + Big Brakes callout!!
As Stephen has mentioned above; zero! The difference is when you want to stop repeatedly and your brakes get hot, the BBK could then manage the heat better to continue to maintain that stopping distance. That’s assuming no other variables change, especially tyres.

300zx part number help
http://nissan4u.com/parts/300zx/er_z32/1993_3/type_1/fuel_and_engine_control/fuel_tank_and_fuel_piping/illustration_5/ It looks as though the straps and the rubber come as an assembly.

Can I see if I can wax mine in the time it takes you to do 10 laps?

Rear three-quarter glass rubbers
There is no part number listed for these individually as they are supplied as part of the glass assembly (which is NLA). I’m not sure where Luke is getting these from. The KurumaZ trims are another options but they aren’t a matching finish to the OEM pieces so it would require the whole set being replaced.

Are you referring to the lower moulding at the bottom of the window? https://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php/shop/300zx-z32-body-exterior-trim/300zx-quarter-glass-trim-2-2

Making a start in 2018.
That’s great, thanks. Mind if I use it in some club promotion?

Making a start in 2018.
Pete, do you have any pics of your car on the track? Ideally one with the curbs within close proximity to be visible when cropped. I have this one but when cropped it could be any old road!

Meet pics
Does anyone have any decent pics of multiple Z’s grouped together from a club meet?

Built 2018
Gary, your Z looks amazing dude, nice work! I love the way they give each car so much room to exhibit. They could squeeze them in like free range chickens if they wanted to and get many more cars in!

Trophy`s
I’d say the trophies issue has already been addressed. Recent years has shown some good quality and unique ideas for their manufacture and design. [emoji106] I do have a COTM trophy from around 2006 which is plastic but it was still a proud moment!

Back after 12 Years!
Welcome back ronflat! When you put the car in storage, the cars would’ve been pretty much at rock bottom on the depreciation curve so I would say you’re definitely up on the value from that time. Decent cars can fetch good money (relative to past figures), but I’d say hold onto the car and enjoy it as the values are only going one way now and starting to gather momentum.

Return of the 'Tin Worm' and possibly giving up......
You can’t break the car for that Russ, give yourself a slap!

A new track focussed Z in build.
Just make sure it doesn’t end more fun than the Z!

Manchester Airport Runway Visitor Park
I used to be a Romper regular when I did a spell at Manchester Airport. The road that the pub car park is on is a handy little dead end road that is usually pretty quiet. It’s like an overgrown, abandoned and derelict type setting further down (from memory), line the cars up down there and get some moody pics before setting off! [emoji41]
