Yesterday, my Zed hit the one thousand mile mark since I bought the car in November. What's it been like?

 

Well, the first four hundred plus miles involved driving from the Norwich area up to Dunfermline, me and a full set of original wheels and tyres taking up all the seats and boot space. Needless to say, being new to Zeds - I kept the speed under eighty for the entire journey. Having an incident whilst sharing the cab with all these wheels and tyres was not an option. :eek:

 

Sixty miles here, forty miles there .......it all adds up. I've been a member of this club and a constant watcher of the forum since before I bought the car and have learned many helpful things about the Zed and have in turn been helped by it's members. To be honest reading the forum everyday, I expected the Zed to break down every other day. :eek: ..............but is hasn't.:D

 

So what has gone wrong or needs fixed?

The driver's window was inoperative, fixed using the forum database.

Flat battery - my fault I left the interior light on for a couple days.

It has a leak from the autobox oil pan - a new gasket will fix that.

The NSF tension rod bush is shot - time for new adjustable rods I think.

The wheels need refurbished - sometime in the future.

The car has a typical UK Zed rust problem - arches and rear sills - this is the most urgent as it will only get worse.:(

 

Other than that, there are a few small (I hope) intermittent problems which I'll start to sound people out about. But all in all - a good experience.:D:D

 

Yesterday, while tanking up at the local Shell garage, I had my first compliment on the Zed from a guy filling up at the same time.......

"Is that a 350" says he.

"Nope, it's a 1993 300zx" says I" .

"Well it's absolutely lovely, great wheels" he replied.

 

Makes it all seem worthwhile doesn't it? :D:D:D:D
