Hi,

 

Just joined the site yesterday and have spent far to much work time clicking through the wealth of info.

 

I am looking to purchase a UK Z shortly and just wanted to know how you identify a series 1/2 etc and what the differencies are between them.

 

Also is there a way of telling the year of manufacture of the car from chassis number etc. I noticed this info on another site but it only apparently applied to Jap cars.

 

Great site - hopefully have my own Zed soon to get properly involved.

Have a good read through this....... http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/BuyingZ.htm

 

And welcome to the site

goo guide there, also one on TT net with some other bits on print em both off I would, and take someone with you who knows about em.

 

There tends to be a fair few ppl around trying to fob lemons off to ppl who dont know about them. Friend of mine had this prob recently! (none of these ppl are from the club tho cause were all sound ;))

 

Went to see a few with him, they were all smoking like dogs and he was told that was perfectly normal :rolleyes: also on one the turbos were whining for sheer mercy, probably oil starved for the past year and sounded completly ****ed, bearingd gone etc I would imagine also, guess what he said? They all make that noise LMFAO

p.s also make sure you check its not in safety boost (at operating temp), although they boost less and seem slow as fook to us boost heads :D, :D :dance: would be hard to tell if you've never driven one before, thats happened when I've gone to see a few with ppl too.

Easy UK series 2 ident is no ambient temp on the aircon display and suedy stuff trim.

Alcantara actually :D
