Hi everyone,

 

Just thought i would say hello. Im steve, about to turn 21 in 17 days :duffer:

I had a Hyundai coupe before this:

 

Had a diagreement with a Big concrete fence:

 

 

So i bought a new one, and tried to fit lambo doors:

That went a bit wron so i sold it :smash:

 

Now im after one of my all time fav cars, the 300zx TT.

 

Im looking at a 300zx TT tomorrow, jap import. Im just wondering if there are any common problems with the car that i should look out for?

 

Any help/advice would be appretiated.

 

Cheers

 

Steve

just one bit of advice m8

 

respect the car

 

a car like that WILL kill you unless u treat it will the respect it deserves

 

i have had mine about a year now and it honestly scares me to death

 

im not embarased to admit that

I will Mark, Like i said before I have complete respect for the car, and i agree it scares the life out of me 2, but that makes it all the more exciting :D

sweet work mate, i intend on doing the same when i enventually get back to blighty!!! , just wondering how much your insurance is on the 300? surl you must be being hit hard....?

My insurance isnt actually that bad, altho ive been told by people at work (who are much older than me i mite add lol) that im paying an absolute fotune, but considering ive got 2 accidents against my name i dont think £1300 per year is all that bad. Ive was paying £1100 per year for my hyundaicoupe. What do you all think?

OUCH MATE !!

It could be worse, apparently that 20 yr old guy that was on top gear with the blue Zed the other week is paying.......................£5000!!!!!!!!!!!

£5000!!!! OUCH, well im still 20 only till the 25th August, not that ive begun the count down yet lol but still ive been used to paying this sort of money on insurance for a while so why not have a great car for the money, :D

 

I hope the insurance will come down next year, my first accident gets wiped off my record, and I should have (touch wood) 1 yr NCB, and I will be 21, so fingers crossed it comes down in price.

 

Only 1 day till i pick up my Zed, i cant wait. :hyper:

 

Steve

Well i finally picked it up last Friday, ive only just got round to getting some pics. Was washing it on saturday, and on Sunday I was at Donny South car show.

Here is my lovely Zed TT

 

 

 

I love my zed, still not taken it to a car park yet as you all have suggested, but just from driving it home you could tell that there is loads of power under the bonnet.

 

Only bad bit is that my battery is now dead :cry:

i was looking over the service history and from the MOT certificates it only did 200miles last year so this is probably why the battery is no good. So off to Halford the weekend to get a new battery. and also to Nissan to get a service (that way i know its all good).

 

Hope to see some of you soon

 

Steve

sorry the pics didnt seem to load properly, i will try again

 

 

Oh and one last thing, is it normal for a TT to have a clutch pedal that you virtually have to jump on to depress and an arm built like a gorilla to change gear? or is it just where I have been used to a Hyundai coupe??

 

Cheers

 

Steve

Hope you have much fun in the new car mate, I only had mine 2 months but it's great the amount of laughs I've had.

the 300zx is intitled to classic car insurance

 

try that

 

i got a qoute 2day for 629 fully comp!!

 

RESULT!1

I'm amazed you get insurance on it TBH...good one ya for getting a late UK spec on though. :)

Yeah i know, i was amazed that i could get insured at 20, im glad i could tho, i love the car, just gotta keep it looking good now.

Great car for a 20 year old! I had to make do with an Astra SRi at your age. Was ok back then though.

id avoid nissan main stealers if you can,unless you know the mechanic and he has experiance around the 300

 

welcome by the way

 

ps..there are experianced z specialists in the traders section

 

z-tech!

zen!

oh ok, i will check it out, thanks for that.

 

Steve

Welcome bud - very nice looking car! Hope to see you at some of the SE meets..
