My car has been off the road 'sorn'ed for the past 6 months sitting on my drive in all weathers but I thought 'bugger the expense' and taxed etc it yesterday. I put the charger on it for an hour then climbed in to start it up thinking that it would take a few turns to fire up but I kid you not it started on the very first revolution of the engine/first spark plug to fire !!!!

 

I left it ticking over for a few minutes as it warmed up and in moments it was purring so smoothly ! I can remember cars from my youth that were a total lottery first thing in the morning ! It's no wonder the Japanese car manufacturers grew to dominate the world like they did !

 

Happy Z owner :-)

Yeah I also thought balls to the expense and put mine back on the road this month too....and i'm going to Zedworld on Thursday :D

Yeah I need to get up there too ! Havent had it serviced by them since they did it for me shortly after buying it over 2 years ago......mind you I've only done about 2k miles in it in all thattime !

Mine did that as well but the engine hadn't been run for a year. Great cars arn't they mate :thumbup:

I think its pritty bad. how shit do you think our cars are if you get excited because they started after 6 months to a year :lol:

I suppose you cant please all of them all the time.

As an afterthought to that comment.........I've owned a 300 since 1998 with a small break for a 350Z so I dont think I'd consider them shit. Maybe you've misunderstod my comment as a criticism of the car or Nissan in particular but I love my Z or maybe you just see a negative where there is none. Whatever....I'll continue to enjoy my Z ownership in my own obviously sad way.

dont be silly i didnt mean it like that :lol:. What im saying is its only been six months since its started and your chuffed :tt2:. Ive known zed started for the 1st time in 6 years and it started on the 1st turn :cool3:

 

I left mine for almost 2 year :biggrin:

Coolio :-)

Nissans are the most reliable cars in the world.

 

My Z is as reliable as my wife's Micra, and I'm sure the GT-R is no different.

My GTR Ran like a top for nearly 3 years, until the oil pump broke due to a known fault.
