New 300zx owner here. I don't have her yet, should be picking it up next weekend all going to plan!

 

I was just wondering if any of you could help me out with a question before I get it. I've searched all over the net but I can't find a definitive answer.

 

How wide is the z32 including wing mirrors? Wikipedia says 1,800mm for the 2 + 2 but that just seems a bit narrow for it to include the mirrors.

 

Problem is that I have an extremely narrow driveway and I'm concerned I might have to park my lovely new motor out on the street :sweatdrop:. If it's much wider than 2000mm then I might need to widen the driveway a bit which is something I can take care of before next weekend.

 

Thanks!

welcome to the site, any photos from the sale add? its mandatory

 

as for width, ill get me tape measure out for you tomorrow if you want :)

hi fella welcome, cant answer your question but im sure someone will soon.

welcome to the club mate ... as to width a hell of alot wider than the mrs's 206

2000mm sounds about right Including mirrors.

 

This is excluding wing mirrors :

 

 

If its an Import then the mirrors do fold in electronically anyway.

Only 8"? :lol::lol:

 

Oh yeah, welcome matey :thumbup:

well i dont like to brag. lol

 

though you do like to lie:whistling:

Welcome to the club, If its a jap you can fold the mirrors via the switch, if its UK, fold by hand, but should get rid of a a few inches each side sticking out lol.

Thanks everyone!

 

I don't have any photos of her yet, it's a colleagues who's just bought a Lotus Evora to replace it. He's had it 20 years from new.

 

It's a UK 1991 twin turbo 2+2. Red paint on the outside and a 5 speed box on the inside. 55,000 miles on the clocks and every MOT from new. It also has a full Nissan service history with every invoice.

 

Seems to be in very good running order. No rust, no noises, flawless paint on it. It's totally stock. No after-market parts whatsoever, even has the original stereo and CD player.

 

I can't wait to pick it up!

Wow, sounds like a nice car, cant wait to see the pics.

Welcome Jimmy and that sounds like an awesome zed you have bought:thumbup1:looking forward to see the pic's

welcome buddy. i hope you got a sense of humour. you will need it on here:)

 

You need to invest in a metal tape measure mate, they don't shrink in the wash like the cotton ones do :lol:

Welcome, your new purchase sounds like a minter. Looking forward to the pics. Gotta love a standard Zed :tt1:

Welcome matey :)

Welcome to the club Jimmy!

Welcome along bud car sounds great :thumbup1:

I picked her up Saturday, couple teething problems but they're working themselves out the more miles I do. It had only done about 400 miles in the last 4 years and it had been sat for a few weeks so it was a bit spluttery and judderry for the first 5 or 10 miles. Seems to be running great now though.

 

The main interior light doesn't seem to work, I guess it's the bulb. Are they simple enough to replace?

 

Also I have a head unit from an old car I'd like to use, do I need an adaptor to fit it to the system that's already in place?

 

Also it needs a cover for the passenger side headlamp washer, any ideas where I might find one of those?

 

 

Thanks a lot :)

If its done so few miles in the last few years its probably ready for a good service/cambelt etc so I would take it to a specialist such as zedworld to have it all checked over and a clean bill of health.

 

Low milage one owner UK specs are getting VERY hard to come by so its certainly worth looking after!

I agree - don't leave anything to chance - get it checked over by someone competent.

 

A small outlay now could save a whole heap of expenditure later..

 

I'd check the tyres very carefully too!

I hope you got some money knocked off for this not working :rofl:

Cam belt and all the fluids and filters are definitely on the cards.

 

I know main dealer prices are extortionate but is it worth maintaining the full Nissan service history?

Not with Nissan :) If you're in Wales, I'd head for Zedworld. Oh, and welcome to the club.
