Looks nice, don't know about the best Z you can buy comment, I think they are all good.....lol

Was advertised a few weeks ago.

Was it? wonder why its up again:sneaky2:

Was up on buy it now for £4k

That spoiler needs to go it makes the rear too high and makes it look stumpy, a lwb can pull that spoiler off but a swb needs something more subtle and low to try and keep proportion. Rare car in a desirable colour unless the shell is shot, its worth that money all day long, esp if it runs properly, hell it could sell for not much less than that without a block.

I had a look at this yesterday, and although it runs very well, seems to be possibly the most basic model they made? It didn't have Cruise control, Climate control, Leather, Electric seats, or Boost gauge. Mechanically the car was very good, and would clean up well, but I'm on the look out for one with a few more extras I think!

The look of the back end is not helped buy having the wheel spats fitted, it makes the bumper look very deep.

 

This has helped my decide that I won't be fitting the full set of spats that I have,

That's because its a 1994 swb slicktop, the later the cars came they dropped a lot of the options, and luxuries to try and cut the cost that was increasing rapidly and hurting sales, also the swb was the base model in japan, ironically the lwb auto tt targa was the luxury model. Effectively the slicktop is like opting for the model without the sunroof if you like. Therefore with a late year, slicktop your unlikely to get all the toys. Ever noticed most of them are non turbo? As I say its ironic really as now adays due to the better handling platform, reduced weight and rarity the swb esp slicktops are extremely desirable and therefore more expensive.

In my opinion if your looking for a zed with loads of toys your looking for the wrong car, sure they have cruise, but cruise is useless in the uk, the aircon on most doesn't work, its 20+ years old, and regassing isn't simple or cheap, you will get electric seats and windows, but they likely wont be heated. Something like a lexus is200 would have all these kind of toys, and be cheaper in many respects. This is just my opinion, and your welcome to ignore it, its only an opinion. However I see the z32 as a weekend warrior/ highway monster not a luxury cruiser these days, it however is a lovely car on to drive on the motorway, but infinitely better blasting down an A road over taking everything in its path :D

I would also like to add I would kill to have those seats in good condition.

When you put it like that, it makes sense. In reality I wouldn't be using the Z for long journeys anyway, and the electric seats are novel, but unnecessary. The boost gauge would have been nice to at least check the health, but I guess an aftermarket one isn't particularly difficult to fit. Cheers for that perspective on it anyway, made me realise what I really want from this car... :)

The look of the back end is not helped buy having the wheel spats fitted, it makes the bumper look very deep.

 

This has helped my decide that I won't be fitting the full set of spats that I have,

 

Paul

 

They look like the wrong spats as the swb has shorter rear spats and are very very hard to find. Here is a pick of the two rear spats the left hand one is lwb the right is swb

 

 

The right spats for the right car

 

But also Gary your car has the lower rear spoiler.

Thats true Paul and imo the best spoiler for a shorty:)

I ain't gonna rise to that last comment, lol:wink:

Kaned if you joined i could PM you! - I'm not sure if i'm ready to sell, but thinking of getting rid of my 93, (K plate) Grey TT SWB Slicktop. It's got 77k on the clock, but most of that is kms. Just converted to Manual 2 weeks ago, but has Leather (drivers seat only) cruise and is an unabused example that i was going to keep for a few years as an investment.

 

Basically, I've just bought a lovely series 1 Slicktop Auto in Silver that i'm thinking of converting too, and have a UK TT LWB and despite loving the gunmetal colour (everyone on here slates them!) the new one is silver and has really swayed me...

 

If you want to tempt me with the right money, i'd say you'd be better buying one that hasn't been messed around with and do stuff yourself. At least that way you know what's been done and can be sure it's been done properly!

 

My no. is 07818 607568...

It looks like its now sold

I fit a boost gauge in my clocks on my 94, everything is there, basically you just need a boost solenoid from a breaker and a set of series 4 clocks for the gauge itself, so no more than £100.00 and job done :thumbup1:.
