Hi guy

 

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the white UK 300 on eBay is showing as a 31/12/2001 cat C.

Welcome, looks a fine uk zed

Whereabouts is the car Deegan?

Whereabouts is the car Deegan?

 

Hi it's in letchworth.

I am going up with a flatbed.

The owner if he is to be believed has returned to thailand. It is stored at the company he used to own. Spoke with them and they confirm this.

The address on the v5 his old address does show the car on his drive on google maps.

He's sent me photos of all of the paperwork and there's loada. But, it's with him in Thailand as he sais he was hop8ng to ship it there.

The catch is he said he will send the documents by 3 day airmail, and do a receipt for the purchase.

The hip check doesn't confirm the vin which is annoying as I have a photo of the v5 pages.

I am cautious but will proceed if all seems ok on inspection.

Would be really handy if there's any members near letchworth tho

It looks like his brother was the previous owner having looked through the images of paper work.

Only think I can't work out is the v5 shows the current owner (seller) from 2008. But the hpi check is showing November 2017

Can you see the VIN on the V5 pages you have been sent?

 

How many previous owners are shown on the V5 and the HPI check? The HPI check that .007 did showed 5 previous owners with the last change 1/11/2017.

Yep the vin is on it.

Yes 5 previous owners, also he has part of the old v5 with who I assume is his brother with same surname.

Likewise the you states the owner changed in november 2011

But the v5 shows 2008

Sorry the v5 shows 4 previous keepers with the last keeper an accredited business in his family name for mobility scooters.

Same address as where the car is stored now

Looks like it was a cat C in 2001.

The engine number matches on hpi and v5

But can't see the vin on the hpi check

You can look up the VIN on the link below. This will give you the information held in Nissan's FAST database for

UK spec cars. This includes the factory build date, original colour and options. As the car was registered in Dec

1994 try the "300ZX TT UK RHD (1992-03>1993-12)" filter to begin with. Let us know how you get on.

Good luck mate. I run as a daily, a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. Also an insurance write off. It was rear bumper damage only !!!!! I also had a written off, 89 z32 t/t. Poor guy on his way to hospital to see his wife after a mis-carriage ran up the rear of me. Shit happens. Bought the car back from the insurance (retainable salvage) and it cost £200 to put right. Hope all goes well. And you have saved one more from the crusher ! Majic !!!!

Thanks I found it, only options are and and auto climate control.

It's listed as a Europe model though. Should that matter?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to this build. I just hope it's not as much of a wallet killer as my previous project. That was a 1995 bmw 840ci manual. It litertaly broke the wallet!

 

I was looking for a 2 seat but everywhere I read that they don't drive/handle as well as the 2+2

It doesn't have the fog/indicator located in the corners of the front bumper, just vents where they sit, it has smaller rectangular units located either side on the front of the bumper, I'm sure I read that if that's the case it's a European model?

UK and Euro spec both have dummy (dark) indicators in the Jspec indicator/side light position and combined indicator/side lights in the Jspec fog light position.

All Euro specs are LHD. Are you sure you have used the right VIN?

The vin on the v5 is

JN10RGZ32U0010953

Pretty sure I used the right one

Checked again and it definitely sais right hand drive European model

The original Nissan paperwork is from the algarve

The vin on the v5 is

JN10RGZ32U0010953

 

There may be a problem with the search function, here is the record:

 

JN10RGZ32U0010953 KRGZ32JSQGHW 300ZX TT UK RHD (1992-03>1993-12) 1993-06 326 Crystal White

 

Specification:

KR_GZ32J_SQGHW; Interior: G (Black); (1K) T-Bar Roof; (2R) VG30DETT; (3_) Right Hand Drive; (4G) 2+2 Seater; (8J) GL;

(9_) Manual; (10S) Twin Turbo; (11Q) Europe; (G) Auto Air-Conditioner; (H) ABS; (W) Leather Package

Checked again and it definitely sais right hand drive European model

 

DVLA are for ever mixing up the model details they record on their database.

Yes that's exactly what I saw too.

How do you mean there may be a problem?

Am I correct in thinking that some European countries use right hand drive?

I mean that the FAST record (I posted above) is correct but the search function that Mark (http://gtr-registry.com) implemented may be faulty.

Ok thanks.

I won't lie I am a bit apprehensive about this one. But I guess if it looks right when I get there it will still be worth it

If you are meaning the "Europe" designator in the FAST specifications that means Europe and UK as we are

part of Europe as far as Nissan is concerned. My UK spec also shows up as "Europe" in it's FAST record.
