Early development car - Check out that terrible early intake pipework routing

 

So it was a SWB NA with a TT front bumper. I would still like to own that Z.:yes: Good find Yowser.

Me too, curious to see what final price ends at.

Haha, great find [emoji106]

....... and they still kept the rubbish headlights !!!

 

is it the same car from the advert? the interior shot the radio arrangement is different, repainted to silver ? surely Nissan had silver ones,turbo bumper on a non turbo Mmm and not registered ? all smells a bit fishy to me

Is it overheating slightly?

 

From what i know this was the stunt car used for the final jump scene not the actual main driving car. The fuel tank is rusted up with 20 year old fuel and from what the owner said in his forums post he couldnt start the car and was going to replace the fuel tank and pump.

 

Also they painted a black z silver to match the main silver driving car in the ad.

Gary, you've been around long enough to know the coolant temp gauge doesn't work like that! When the needle drives up to "H" then it's overheating (likely followed by a catastrophic failure!), that position will be the normal operating temp for that gauge (they all vary slightly).

I was sure my needle sat lower than that. Will check on the way home today :detective:

Normal operating temperature for my TT after a drive home from work.

Means nothing. Our stock temp gauge is an indication at best. They may as well of given us a pair of lights one red one blue, indicating cold or overheating coolant, as found in most cheap cars. Could of put a clock there instead, one that works.

If you pop your reading glasses on you will see two little white dots. These would be level with the needle if it were in the dead centre position, or 9 o'clock if you do wish. That's where it's "supposed" to sit. This is where mine sits. As Joel said though some variation is common place.

The gauge is a simple stepper motor that uses the resistance value of the tempreture probe, this is a thermistor ntc type. The hotter the sensor the lower the resistance value resulting in a climbing needle. The stepper motor adjusts the reading in stages, I don't know the values, but as an example;

Cold 70-50 ohms

Normal 50-20 ohms

Hot >20 ohms

Something like that. Hope that helps.

That's a bit like a tailor asking a gentleman "which side do you dress on?"

Must get my glasses as I see nothing lol

:lol: maybe it's a SWB thing. No seats, no dots.

You can? Would you mind showing us your dots then?

I'm out and about atm but yeah sure.

Mine probably has some white dots on it, there's fricking polish everywhere!

Ta dah, the one in the car and this spare are both the same.

Well I never! Just gone out to the look at my temp gauge, and guess what - I have white dots too. You learn

something new about these cars every day. Thanks for posting the pic Steve!

He has put it up for sale again.
