Thought I'd better introduce myself to yourselfs as I've been lurking for a couple of weeks whilst deciding how I'm going to deal with my new Zed, which I now done.

 

Bought her at the beginning of the month and.... had to deal with a kerploded boiler, kitchen refit and a leaky bog, so deposited the car in a mates barn. Now I've got the insurance and tax and shizz sorted, she's coming home tomorrow. :w00t:

 

As far as I can tell, there are at least three previous owners of VIW on this very forum, all of whom I wouldn't mind chatting with about the car with as it's all new to me, coming from working on other people's S bodies to having my own Z32.

 

On another note, how does subscribing membership work, and is it worth it? From what I gather it's throw money at an account then magic happens then PM someone....?

 

So, hi all, and if it works, here's pics.

 

SWB, manual, N/A, targa, blue. Can't be many like this? Also a 1990 with a Z320019XX chassis number. Is this particularly low? I don't know Nissan codes inside out.

 

 

Took a 'working lunch' and did some 'autonomous training' on the laser etcher at work and made a keyring.

 

 

Didn't realise Z32s were so tiny They look huge on their own, but not when compared to my mate's E28 5er, not exactly a large car by modern standards!

Nailed it pretty much. First year is £20 including a membership pack with decals, lanyards etc. and the card itself which is useful for insurance discounts. Subscription features include selling, PMing and uploading pictures directly.

Anyway welcome mate, not sure if it is an original colour or not? but even so it's had a respray so likely not.

 

SWB manuals are great and i'm sure you'll enjoy it :)

£20 isn't too bad, think I might have to indulge. Just add it to the purchase cost, tax, insurance...

 

Certainly a respray, an old ad on Retrorides mentions it, besides the fact that the hatch used to be red, the door seems to have been dark blue and the engine bay is black!

Most seem to think it's GT-R Bayside, but I recon it's too light for that. Not seen another like it so who knows.

 

Once I've figured out every control being in a completely different place to my old Audi I think it'll be good!

Oh, and sorted the wheels!

 

Cheers

£10 yearly after that FYi

Well to find out the original colour it will be on the VIN plate in the engine bay, but I wouldn't know that specific colour.

 

The indicator stalk on the other side catches me out!

Definitely not a standard colour. Looks cool though. Welcome to the club!

Welcome to the club Luke :thumbup1:

Welcome to the club, nice looking Z

Nice looking Z welcome to the club.

Pretty sure that's Peach's old car.

Welcome. I always find it hilarious when people say how big and heavy a Z32 is, certainly by modern standards they are pretty average if not small. Imposing though on the road.

Pretty sure that's Peach's old car.

Looks like someone returned the front to an 89.

Also a 1990 with a Z320019XX chassis number. Is this particularly low? I don't know Nissan codes inside out.

 

Welcome to the Club Luke. When you are subscribed send me the VIN code and I will let you know when the car was built etc.

Hi and welcome Luke!

 

Tidy looking car you have there mate....:thumbup:

 

Richard:cool:

Thanks all for your warm welcome guys and gals!

Definitely a new and different experience, some teething issues such as the clutch hitting the deck and staying there, and the indicators deciding to not, but I'm hopefull it'll settle down soon.. With a bit of luck and a healthy dollop of advice from you lot anyway!

Yeah the clutch hitting the deck is just not enough backwards pressure. You could try bleeding, a new clutch line is around £35 for braided line, or maybe the Masters broken but I would try bleeding it first :)

I've found some seepage down the clutch pedal, so I'm assuming the master is on its way out. Got it bled and filled to the max line, and it's dropped 5mm down over ~200 miles. Keep topping it up is the current answer, until I've got the kitchen done and can devote the time to replacing the cylinder!
