KINGSLEY157 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Hi guys, not that I have £10.000 to spend, some one might, just wanted to get opinionshttp://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/300zx/nissan-300zx-tt-silver-streak/5250227 of the more knowledgeable zed owners on value for money.

KINGSLEY157 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Looks like the links not working. Quote
KINGSLEY157 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 hope this works. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/300zx Quote
Alic Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) This thread was revived earlier today: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?178123-Silver-Streak I think the body kit is a bit overly done, I'm not a fan of the fake vents at the side of the front bumper and the back bumper looks like some plain fibre-glass stuff from need for speed. I'm sure with some body-kit changes it would be a rather nice car, but not for me. Edited February 8, 2016 by Alic Quote
KINGSLEY157 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 thanks, just trying to gauge what to pay for what, should have kept my last two Zed's. So surprised with the prices now, sold my last zed a 1990 tt in 2001 for £3250 Quote
Mondo Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Is this renowned car actually a 1999 one...? Quote
Joely P Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Is this renowned car actually a 1999 one...? No, I'm not sure why it's being sold as such. Quote
dutchgold92 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Is this renowned car actually a 1999 one...? Nope - wrong headlights and indicators. Quote
Lexx Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 It's a '89 car according to DVLA Quote Zed #2: 1998 Midnight Purple 2+2 NA. (owned 2020 - now) Zed #1: 1995 Blue Slicktop NA (2013-2015)
Sir Charles Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Is this renowned car actually a 1999 one...? Probably the year it was imported to the UK Quote
SMW1 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Interesting. Although I don't understand how the car has lost 123 BHP since I owned it back in the day. Memories of us being banned from the rolling road because we flat lined the 500bhp Max rollers at 4.2k rpm. Was remeasured on a decent rolling road at 623 bhp at the fly. Looks like there area few changes on the car sine I sold it. Many hours of blood , sweat and tears went into this car. The Majority of the work I did myself (Paint and Engine rebuild excluded). Quote
craig Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I'm not a fan of the fake vents at the side of the front bumper . you mean, the vents that are designed to increase airflow through the intercoolers, by allowing the air behind them to exit the bumper directly? ;-) Quote
Mondo Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 you mean, the vents that are designed to increase airflow through the intercoolers, by allowing the air behind them to exit the bumper directly? ;-) Aye, those fake vents! :rofl: I must admit, I understand the purpose behind them but I'm personally not a fan of them....

SMW1 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Do you miss it Stu? Every Day mate, Every Day!! Quote
Alic Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Every Day mate, Every Day!! This cracked me up a bit "Ex-Zed owner Bought a totally stock Zed. Spend loads of money on it. Changed everything. Dyno'd at 550+ BHP. Sold it for peanuts." Quote
johnyboy Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I just think who is going to pay that sort of money for a z as you see some good one change hands for half that .. Quote
jimmer Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 The last time i saw this car was 3 yrs ago at a Dyno shoot out at Power Station which has now closed,I was expecting to get hammered by it and it made 40hp less than my 480hp when i knew it had done 500 + previous,it had a few issues and ive no idea if they were fixed so buyer beware.

Stephen Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I just think who is going to pay that sort of money for a z as you see some good one change hands for half that .. You can, but not ones making north of 500hp. As Jimmer points out though, it's not quite as clear cut as that. Quote
Stephen Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 In fact; I believe this is the very dyno session Jimmer is referring to. It might not be, if it's not I've likely got it anyway. Quote
