    Hi guys,
    I'm new to the group and would like to meet up with some 300zx owners in Canberra.
    I'm researching my next project car and have a 300zx firmly in my sights but would love to absorb some first hand knowledge before making my final decision.
    Thanks.

    Hey mate, I lived in the ACT my entire life up until very recently, and I have a pretty good knowledge of most of the local cars. I know quite a few members there aswell.

    Do you have any info on the 300zx you're looking at? Chances are I may know a bit about it.

    Sorry for the confusion, I'm not looking at a particular car, but the 300zx lineup as a whole for the next project.
    I want to know exactly what I'm after before I start shopping.
    I'm not in a hurry so I have plenty of time to research, get to know the strengths and weaknesses and hopefully one of the guys here with a well set up car can take me for a run so I know what I can expect.
    Thanks for the replies

    That makes it easy then. If you're looking for a manual buy this: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-300ZX-1990/SSE-AD-2745174/?Cr=0&sdmvc=1

    User Chewthrutheseropesch's car. I can highly vouch for this as I've seen it in real life. Awesome condition and dat TwinZ front bar :cool:

    If you're looking a slicktop auto, then look no further than this: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-300ZX-1989/SSE-AD-2086614/?Cr=1&sdmvc=1

    User ZedMD's car. I haven't seen this one personally but have heard amazing things about it + it was owned at some point by Zcar91, who is undoubtably one of the highest regarded zed enthusiasts in the country .

    I'm heading to Canberra soon To stay with lilbaz

    I'm sure that he and I wouldn't mind you looking over the cars.

    Anthony's car is a perfect example and at the price one of the best bases you could ask for

    The other hot buy at the moment is KEZA's http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=329522
    I've never seen it but there's a lot of long time owners/members that seem to hold it in high regard.

    Which side of town are you on? I'd be happy to catch up some time, my car is a good model for showing you potential problems ;)

    I'm about to drop in a motor back into mine. You would walk away with a head full of 300zx knowledge.

    ^ very good idea, I couldn't [be bothered to] figure any of the vacuum lines out in mine until I pulled the engine.

    Let me know when Andrew and I'll see if I can come lend some hands too.

    Anthony's car a "base"?!?

    It's one of the cleanest examples I've had the pleasure of seeing in person. Up close it puts many of the "hotter" cars on the forum to shame... A steal at asking price.

    3 good buys

    On the forum at the moment, Caz1, Keza, and Zedmd's, all good well looked after cars, all a steal at the price their asking.:)

    Hi guys,
    Sorry just spotted all the replies.
    I live in Bruce and would love to see any car I can and definitely have a look at the engine replacement.
    Can I grab some addresses off you guys or places where you're happy to meet up.
    My email is mrbump80@gmail.com that way there is no need to be posting them on an open forum.
    Thanks

    Justin

Bodywork sound, targa top, twin turbos. Open to sensible offers. If you are interested email me on C_mperman@yahoo.com.au. Jim
