Hey guys,

 

I'm gonna be looking at buying a 300zx probably this weekend after selling my Celica ST205 but I have a few questions before I buy ;)

This is the zed i'm looking at!

 

One of the seats has been replaced by a recaro, so I was wondering how much either another recaro that is similar is going to be, or how much does a standard seat go for these days? Not sure if it's electric or standard, though.

 

Also, currently it has 235's on the back and i'm not sure that's gonna be enough for decent grip. Would you easily be able to put 245's on there? I'm not sure what the alloy measurements are but I have asked so hopefully i'll have them soon.

 

Also, clock/speedo still reads in kmh. Is it easy to do a conversion?

 

Thanks!

So, I bought the white Zed.

 

She is completely immaculate, not a single scratch on her and running perfectly, except for a knocking that I am pretty sure is interior in the rear passenger side.

 

I've had the panels off in the boot and i've still not been able to source the cause of the knock! Someone said that it might be a CV joint.

 

Where would I be able to get one of these from?

At what point does the knock come? When accelerating? When cornering? When going over rough terrian? All the time?

Hmmm not sure if I fancy having a lower top speed ... will look up the mod though to find out a bit more!

 

it will still be able to do around 160 it will just get there a whole lot quicker :cool3:

All the time!

 

It doesn't sound like the suspension though, I know what that sounds like as i've had plenty of suspension problems with my old GT-Four (They're well known for them!) Even on smoothish roads it'll knock like something is loose. She's only done 41,000 miles too so i'd be surprised if it was the CV joint.

Also bloody hell Si do you sleep? :D

I have insomnia yes, Dave's the freak though. ;)

Not sure which zed your talking about, the black or white

Zeds were limited to 155mph

Boost gauges were not used " i think after late 94" someone may claify. so don't always expect to see one in a zed

TT logo means nothing, many don't have any logos on

Earthing comments, there are numerous Zeds out there that had aftermarket earthing kits fitted and they all went back the battery, in a kinda loop, so that maybe what you seen??.

Both the black and white zeds had TT front bumpers on too.

 

So you may have walked away from summit in the wrong belief fella.

Very true...

 

But I did go back after a couple of days a buy it..

 

Turns out it wasn't half bad either. Felt a bit guilty for throwing a shadow of doubt over it - wasn't deliberate..
