As per my previous post I have 3 Z's and need to get rid of one.
I'm selling the 1989 (25 years old this year!) TT Slicktop Auto. 136900 miles but most of this KMS and first registered in the UK in 1998, with 7k miles in the last 4 years. Have all old MOTs bar a couple from 1999 through to 2010 and a wad of history in the original wallet. Also One old bill of sale from 5/11/2000 showing 98035k and the rest as follows;
21/12/1999 - 91581
09/11/2000- 98104
28/11/2001 - 100628
08/04/2003 - 102527
22/04/2004 - 107505
17/11/2005 - 116651
28/11/2006 - 120442
13/03/2008 - 122609
03/03/2009 - 124805
06/03/2010 - 129383
18/03/2011 - 131174
06/02/2013 - 134373
18/07/2014 - 136891
I bought it last year with a view to converting it to Manual and just garageing it for a few years and maybe getting rid of my UK2+2 but i haven't got the heart to let her go after 14 years of ownership and will hang onto the other grey Slicktop for the time being. When i did my digging around and did my research on it, i found out it was owned by a Nissan Mechanic in Cardiff for a number of years. (have MOTS and service items from Wessex nissan Cardiff) and the mechanic told me who he sold it to etc....Original Reg was G551 UAL in case anyone else on here knows the car???
It's totally unmolested and has no mods bar the wheels and fibreglass spoiler. It's a lovely looking car and been very well maintained with loads of history in its original folder along with Japanese service book and Japanese "addZest" Stereo instructions etc (Original stereo not present :-( ) - Pics of this and interior to follow.
Bodywork is immaculate and has two small paint blemishes on both rear arches and a slight scuff/blemish on the fiberglass (its been replaced at some point) tailgate (i am being fussy here, but you can see it in the pics).
It's had 99' rear lens conversion and clear side repeaters and has a nice stainless single exit exhaust which sounds nice, despite me preferring a double exit mongoose on a TT....I hope you'll agree is a lovely looking car with great stance.
Bad bits and reason for letting it go - Unfortunately last October it developed an issue on Cylinder5 and is only holding 70psi. I suspect a head gasket across the block to the rear...(no loss of Oil, or water, or mixing of either as they both are clean and runs clean via the exhaust except for smoke from Offside front beneath the bonnet when warm) - common issue with gaskets going on cyl 5 above the heat of the RH Turbo?)
All other pots are performing well as per stats below, so suspect a cheap fix for someone, but I neither have the time nor space in my Garage to pull the engine (I also have my daily runner and camper van to contend with alongside a nagging partner!) and another slicktop that i had Jeff convert to manual last year.
Cylinder 1= 165psi /11.5 bar
Cylinder 2= 160psi /11.2 bar
Cylinder 3= 164psi /11.4 bar
Cylinder 4= 155psi /10.8 bar
Cylinder 5= 70psi /4.8 bar
Cylinder 6= 160psi /11.2 bar
It was MOT'd on the 18th July so that i can retain the reg with the only advisory being the rear brake pads wearing thin and no mention of the misfire (cylinder 5) as it ticks over lovely and unless you know, you wouldn't suspect a running issue without driving it.
I'm looking to retain the reg Plate ILZ 6295 (I Love Z's"!) and the Azev Alloys for my grey LWB, but as they look nice on the car would let them go with it if i get the right money, but hopefully you have your own thoughts on what you might like to put on and i could retain these wheels as they do look good.
Based on the above issues I was looking for £3750 with the Alloys or £3200 with Standard jap spec alloys. No "Reasonable" and "fair" offer refused, but unfortunately I can't be tempted with a part X as I have too many toys already!
I think if someone had the time to sort this themselves and pull the head/s it's a very cheap and rare Z that just needs some time and dedicated TLC to turn it back to showroom condition. I'd like to see it go to a fellow Z owner and for that reason it's only on here at the moment.
I think the above is an honest listing, if you have any questions drop me a PM or give me a bell on 07818 607568.
