Look at this, no really take a good look at this.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Front-Bumper_W0QQitemZ120547498652QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1c1130da9c

A wee story about it. My housemate in into Nissan Zeds & showed me this a month or so ago. It was at £40 + the £25 for postage. He put it up on his Z forums taking the pi*s like we do on here & messaged the guy pointing out thebumper is utterly useless. The seller called him an idiot. Anyhow, 5 or so weeks later the item is being repeatedly listed & now at a discounted price of £25.

Funniest thing is a perfectly good 300ZX bumper is worth roughly............ yep £40 :confused: . Laughable. lol

I just had to share it.

:) I saw a 300ZX on the M1 the other week and I couldn't ID it until I seen the back end. Poor thing! What a 'kit'.

There's a mk1 rusting away in a local scrapyard too!! :(

They sure are a rare find these days. As for the bumper. What a plank! Although I wonder what it would look like if you took a heat gun to it?

Some JDM parts place folds bumpers flate to save on shipping and then advises you to warm up with a heat gun to regain shape - I've seen the video. lol

Sadly now they have gotten cheap with age, they can fall into the wrong hands & most people want to add nasty bits to them, but they are pretty amazing cars really with supercar performance when they were new.
My mates is a stunner & feckin quick (380ish bhp just on raised boost).

I used to work with a guy with a UK LWB TT and he claimed to be the second owner and have the original receipt for circa £70K. Surely that's a bit rich, given the R32 GTR was never more than £50K? lol

I do like your mates, I remember you posting pics once before - m0ar plz - I never see 300's now. There used to be a few around in the kroozin days lol.
I agree. Can be very nice cars.

Just to make it slightly relevant. Nova hiding behind.

Probably the best aspect IMO is the rear lights, yet some fools ditch these for 'skylinessque' twin round lights at the rear. Nutts.

These are 99 spec rears which a more clear than the black & red early spec light units.

I do really like them and I don't know why, they're ugly as hell lol

I do recall smoking a silver and primer (lol) one on the ring road around Dorch with the '4 though. He was trying too by the looks of things - did they every do a slow version? Can't imagine the celica being able to outrun a turbo wedge

Same here. I prefer the earlier lights though.

Damn it. I can't find the Vinyy300zx loser on Youtube who barries his Z with body kits etc and Infiniti G35 tail lights! "Bondo all around" fcuking LOL.

i like 300ZX's but i always prefered the Toyota supra

and Craig that Joey with the ZX has made me wet my pants , but whats funny about the ricardos, i have those in my cars lol

The Supra does look a bit sexier, but the dash & iterior looks really dated. Comparable cars though. Shame the Nissan is known as a Fairlady which cant have done it any favours.

That Viiny is a tit, with all his cars.

Ive done that before (when i had a job) lol

That bumper could be repaired, but the amount of time it'd take, it would be better to just buy a proper one.

Toyota always tried to make the interior of the Supra look like the dashboard of a space rocket; lots of dials, large and flat. But yeah, it looks gash. The celica always had the better interior IMO. The 18# dash (http://iconautosport.ca/documents/CelicaInteriorWeb.jpg) was wayyy ahead of the Mk3 Supra (http://jeff.supramania.com/interior_07_29_04/interior1.jpg) in terms of normality; I even prefer my 205 dash (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/razorjack/CCUK/2006_03190007a.jpg) to a MkIV dash. (http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee279/elejes/dash1.jpg)

Mind you, the 300ZX (http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/3346/3181/33364090020_large.jpg) interior is pretty naff as well. Check out the chunky switches on the left, reminds me of my Fiat Uno lol

LMAO. Aye but I hadn't for a while. Got one just the other day as it goes. What do they care if it's positive FFS?!

I had a guy that used to like checking my eBay name changes as he found some of them funny. Stalker! lol
