Looks great iv always really liked those wheels

Looks great, nice purchase :)

It's great to see an unloved car going to a good home. Looks wonderful on that crunchy gravel drive! Lovely colour too.

Jesus.

I didn't pay much less for my Series 4!

I should have waited.

Ta-da... Yeah it needed a bloody good scrub! This was just a quick job, will do a proper clean when I get time!

 

 

 

And for the record Si... I haggled too, and got it for £1.98k :thumbup:

 

Nice one Baz......:bow:

 

Good luck with your new project matey!!

 

Richard:cool:

It looks so much better already!

You wonder why people buy a car like that and treat it like an old Mk3 Astra.

 

I think part of the problem here is that, to a lot of people, this would simply have been a late 90s Nissan.

 

Not everyone sees Zeds in the same way we do, especially if it's an NA auto one (as I believe this one is). Presumably there are plenty of folk out there who think that only the TT variants are worth any kind of interest, hence something like this not seeing much love. :(

 

One thing I am a bit disappointed about is that Baz' new car doesn't have the 99 spec headlights. But other than that, it looks a nice buy and certainly looks happier after a bit of a wash! :thumbup1:

What's the interior like Baz has it got the gold colored clocks ? As they come in kilometers and need a mph face.

I am on my phone and can't make that clock out is it still kilometers?

It was when Tim sold it which is where those photos were taken from (his original FS thread in '12).

It's not the phone Trev its my eyesight getting weeker lol

I know Sudesh had a problem with his two 99 spec Z's as the mot here wanted the clocks in both mph and kilometer and he did not want to change the gold colored clocks. But Mike bought one so he must of found a solution.

Yeah. Mines in mph but it was like that when I bought it

It reads in MPH, clocks look cracking at night (red illumination)

 

On a side note roobarb, do you know how many purple zeds there are in the UK?

Nope- not many!

I'm off to look at 99 spec cars for import now......

That's good that they were able to change them and keep the gold face plate.

Expect to pay £8k-£10k imported/landed. TBH, a TT Manual should still fetch good money. I think Baz got a bargain on this due to the unloved state it was in, the terrible ebay ad and photos.

great find baz

Reading in mph is one thing but having the legend on the clock say "mph" as opposed to "kph" is another. When I got mine, I did find a dial face place in the UK which would clone the gold face but I needed to get them out and send them off, then pay through the nose for the privilege of having them prototype something they could then sell! So I didn't. My solution to mph indication is this:

Which also reads error codes and other stuff as well. So my clocks are original OEM in kph. The red illumination is great as is some of the warning lights (hold, o/d, power etc) coming up in the clocks themselves.

My guess is that roobarb's and Baz's may read in mph (converter) but the legend still says km/h.

Mine has a sticker in the same colour saying mph over the kph.

I feel sick :crying:

Blimey Baz, so much for keeping it off the forum !!!! Think that lasted all of 12 hours, you made us wait long enough :cool3:.
