Stutopia Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Amazing news. For a man who's in Hartlepool or Aberdeen, you had to go a long way to find an MOT centre that was prepared to sign it off How's she drive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I've not driven it more than 150 meters in the past year it's going to be enlightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I love this 300 so much!! Seriously good work saving her and getting her back on the road. Youve got a real gem there which I'd swap my nismo for in a heartbeat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no complaints at all about Ali's work. He seems to do quite a lot on 350s, and owns one himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd seen a few more ZX around town than any where else funnily enough. They echo nicely in the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy james Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Congratulations she looks stunning. My brother had a new one in red, traded it in for a Mitsubishi 3000 GTO. (bad move). Even after owning a 370 and a M4 he still hankers after getting one again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Looking ace. I had to do a similar amount of cutting/welding on my Renault 5 GT Turbo the other year when I started on that. Was one of those situations where the you cut out, the more rust you found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Been a wee while since I updated this. So for anyone still following then read on. I put the Zed away for the winter and concentrated on other things. I had planned on sending it to the UK expert on Z32s for a 120k service and a few other bits. But as he's based in Bristol is was immensely impractical for me in the end. So I bit the bullet and ordered everything up myself from various US and UK suppliers. Planned works: Plenum pull for plenum coolant line delete. New spark plugs Replace the felxi fuel line on the fuel rail Replace all vacuum and fuel lines in the engine bay 120k service - usual suspects but also includes cam seals, crank sprocket, bypass hoses. As you'd expect there's been a degree of mission creep already. Mostly involving cleaning up of various aluminium bits. Valve covers have been sent off for powder coating. As of today I'm at the stage we're I'm about to remove the harmonic balancer and get on to do water pump, tensioner, idlers, belt, seals etc. Scattering of pics below (probably on a random order). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
