"You picked a fine time to leave me, Loose Wheel!" - Mondo's new Zed.
Ah Si, why would you sell her?? What would you get instead?? You'll probably regret it, like a lot of former Zedders that have since come back looking to buy back or find their old cars. Keep it, enjoy it and if not, store it. If it's like mine, it owes very little for what it is and the performance it has (or will have:wink:) I've often looked at V8's and V6 Sl Mercs, Porsche, Yank Tanks etc and when I see how much they'll cost I just think if I put half that amount into the Z, I'd have a monster of a car. Don't sell it, You WILL regret it mate:thumbup1:

Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
Cheers matey, I followed the instructions also but I just thought it didn't look right:yes: I'd heard stories of how hard it is to refit the diff to the subframe but mine bolted straight in. I put it together while grilling chicken fillets on the BBQ, thought I must've done something wrong for it to take only 10 mins:thumbup:

New to 300zx!
^^^ That's the man to talk to^^^ By all accounts Garry has sourced some very nice cars for members on here and he seems to be a stickler for making sure the little details are always taken care of. :thumbup: I'm sure Jaikai (Lee) and Bedzee man (Chris) will relate to this:punk:

Cut the dust guards to allow for bigger rear calipers [ATTACH=CONFIG]99533[/ATTACH] Refitted the diff with the Energy Suspension bushes. Are they fitted correctly?? I put the metal plate at the top ??

Funkysi seems to rate the Z1's as the best FUCA's available, he'll probably be along shortly to advocate them. They are very expensive though, but you get what you pay for I suppose

Rare parts thread
I think Chris Kelsall (Ceejay) is selling a new set for something like £1500, can't remember exactly how much, but they're cheap:thumbup1:

Jeez!, that was quick! How long has he had it? A week?? Has he cut out and replaced all the rust? Was he expensive or is he a friend? He must've dropped everything and just stayed stuck into yours. Any pics Ash??

Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
You need to give me a little more time buddy, I type it up on the computer and then edit it to add the pics from the iPhone :tt2: Another packet arrived containing the Brembo decals and stainless steel bleed valves for mine and another set of Evo calipers that are being done also:thumbup:

Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
Been busy enough the last couple of days, got myself a threaded plug to fix my dilemma with the bonnet hinge, slots in and you then pull it back and it crushes against the inside of the hole:thumbup1: Ripped/burnt out the diff bushes and installed my new Energy Suspension ones, went for black to contrast against the red, tidied up the subframe with another nice layer of red:thumbup: Fitted my brake brackets to the rear hubs in preparation for my freshly powdercoated calipers (not ready yet) and organised all the fittings into seperate labelled bags.
