Hi,

 

I'm new to 300zx's I've had a couple of GTO's but decided to come over to the Z side. Just wondering if anyone has any information about the ZX i've just bought.

 

Also any tips for a new owner greatly appreciated.

 

 

Its still on ebay as a completed item. Number 110374208674

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Ian

Oh i see you have a Zedworld reciept there - they are traders on here and i believe they keep records of work carried out on zeds taken to them. Contact them and they maybe able to tell you a little about it :)

well it does have a club keyring

yeah I've been in touch with them, and although they were looking for the records when i spoke to them, they said that two of the pictures on the auction are actually their photos.

 

Only thing i'm worried about is short MOT. Picking up next week. Will put it straight in.

Well don't worry unnecessarily, i bought mine with no MOT and its past 3 times with no probs :D

 

Your's has been in the country alot longer though. Is there any rust on it??

looks nice good luck with mot

welcome, nice tidy lookin motor

Welcome to the club. looks tidy enough.....

thanks for all the support everyone, its all really apprecated.

welcome to the club mate - from those photos that motor looks mint!

I don't know the car either......

 

.....but welcome to the club mate!!

Well its confirmed, I'm heading up to Darlington on Monday to collect my new Z.

 

If anyone has looked at the auction, could you just let me know. Is this price a kind of 'too good to be true' price. Or am i just being paranoid.

 

I really could do without a money pit. Obviously i can afford to run it, but i'm reading threads about blown turbos and such and getting a little worried now!

 

Cheers

 

Ian

that price is very low for a zed but with the current money issues the contry has might be all there worth have a read of this

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: You now own a Zed!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nah, sorry, only joking bud :D I've run mine for 4 1/2 years before I managed to blow my turbos :D not that I was trying to do in the first place! But you must realise that you still need to maintain these in tip-top order if you want it to look after you! And some items are not cheap, but saying that there are a good bunch of traders out there (most of which are in our traders section) that'll help you out with good deals :cool:

 

Best of luck with it, and welcome to the club

Oh trust me i know about running this type of car.

 

Muggins here took his TT GTO to a main dealer to have the clutch and flywheel done.

 

£2000 later divorced and homeless! I drove my car away. Only to be quoted £700 by an independent specialist.

 

Still, at this point in just praying it gets me home. lol

 

Cheers

 

Ian

hello ian and welcome, dont be put off by what you read on here, if anything it should encourage you, dont forget these are cars that are getting on for twenty years old now. The good thing is you are on the right site to own a zed as there is a wealth of knowledge on here nomatter what the problem is. By the way Ian where about's in surrey are you from.

 

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

 

I'm over in Woking.

 

I've spent the last couple of days trawling this site and the internet and have found as you say a wealth of information. I'm finding the more i read the more i look forward to getting my z home. Looking forward to getting my hands dirty too. So what if it needs to be mollycoddled!

 

I see you're in Camberley. If you ever need a second pair of hands let me know.

 

Ian

Thank's for that Ian, and if you need any help then give me a shout. Don't be put off by what you have paid for the zed, i only paid £1,700 for mine two and a half years ago and it has never put a foot wrong.

P@SSED OFF!

 

The person selling it, has decided to take my deposit and after agreeing that i could collect 'next week' wants it gone by Tuesday afternoon.

 

Well i'm on shift from Tuesday morning and cant get to bank to get cash out and get to Darlington at the same time.

 

So bang goes £200. I hope the @rshole believes in karma!

 

So everyone, after researching this car, i really fancy a z now.

 

How likely is it that i find one in a decent condition with the £2k i have left??

 

And stuff ebay!

 

Regards

 

Angry of Woking

well if there has been a change in the agreement, why would u lose the deposit?

Because the cars 250 miles away and i did it via a bank transfer! Lesson learned!

oh no mate that sux :(

 

have alook on here www.pistonheads.com :)

firstly a belated welcome, and good look with the search for a Z

 

keep an eye out for members cars coming up for sale also;)
