As some of you may know, i have been trying to decide what car to get next. I managed to narrow it down between the R32 GTR and another 300zx TT.

 

Tbh i pretty much had my heart set on a R32 GTR, ive always like skylines and it was something new, a fresh start, a new adventure.

 

Then the inevitable happened, i have realised that it was the idea of owning a skyline that i liked, and not specifically and R32 (truth be known the R33 is my fav, and i would never be able to afford a good one).

 

That was it, the seed was planted in my little head, that little idea of having a 300zx TT in my life again had infected my mind and started to grow. This infection has spread through my body, erasing the memories of all the bad times i had, all the frustrations of having a zed that just wouldnt play fair. The outragous amounts of borrowed cash just to get a car back on the road again and to hear the thunderous V6 roaring out of that HKS super dragger, tingling the hairs on the back of my neck.

 

I tried to combat this infection by dosing myself up with other performance cars, Merc AMG's, Evos, Beemer M5's, even a brand spankers Porsche 997 Turbo. And yet every time i got out of what ever car id just driven, after the initial buzz of the thrill of some serious bits of kit, i still managed to find myself laying in bed, thinking of ways to justify to myself the ownership of another zed.

 

Then i made the fatal mistake. I started looking at my photos of my old 300 :slap: , "You STUPID BOY pike" i said to myself. I find myself spending more and more time on THIS very site, trying to get my 300zx fix, to fight off what urges i have to be a silly twat and go down the bank and get another loan.

 

And yet the worst thing of all happened to me today. The missus. The person who has always said "dont get another zed, youve been there and done that, find something new" turned around and said "i think you should get another". That was it, my fate was sealed tighter than a sea lions balloon knot.

 

Now im off to bed again, to do what all blokes who own zeds do, create that little list that stays in your head - - What should i do to my zed! ;)

curses! Now ive got a substantial list of "things to do to my zed" and i havent even bought one yet!!!!!

 

It just gets worse

at the top of your list should be.....get a good one, spend time looking at it and ask for a inspection

The thing ive REALLY gotta stop doing is trying to find one, when i know i havent got the money at the moment. I just know ill end up getting myself in more debt!!!

mozt Z owners come back at some point !

Its addictive.

 

Even when you own the zed ….. getting rid of it is hard! We need a ‘zed shrink’ on here!

once you 'pop' you just can't stop :rofl:

id have another one! but it would have to be mint, and its finding one to be a problem, il be back in one!

im the same. what ever i get its gunna to have be mint, thats why i didnt buy sasha's, oh and black :D

i've also been thinkin of skylines for about 5 years, until 3 years ago someone offered me a swap, my L reg nissan primera eGT for a grey pretty standard apart from wheels and exhaust 300zx twin turbo. my plan was to sell the car and make bit of money however after driving it for a couple of months i thought,THIS IS GREAT and i've never looked back, shes been a great car and i hope to spend quite a bit of money on her. i've had her 3 years and hope to keep zedding for a long time to come, so keep looking for 1 nick you never know you might come across a real gem. regards Chris.

i sold my zed 3 weeks ago i never thought i would be that gutted over a car and i do miss it but i have a very nice tidy 98 scooby wagon which has loads of new bits on and you cant beat the kick it gives pulling away from the lights and the handling is awesome

Good man! Z'eds look the best and are getting better looking with age... You've made the right decision!

Yeah deffinately. It doesnt take much to bring them a bit more up to date as well whilst still being able to keep the clean lines the zed has.

Well if you want a good one, mine will more than likely be up for sale in the very near future. Keep your eye on the for sale section ;)

Your getting rid??????????????????????

 

are you mad!

Well if you want a good one, mine will more than likely be up for sale in the very near future. Keep your eye on the for sale section ;)

Have you got your's back yet mate?

If you want a goood looking black zed - let me know. i know a man who has one that he was going to sell and is still thinking of it. I'll gie you his e-mail and you can talk to him.

nick

Good God!! What's going on with your exhausts man?

 

Come back Nick - you know you want to ;) :D

 

Hope you find a goodun bud. And as you probably know, Stu's is very tidy :bow:

 

Steve :)

Cheers fella. I think its becoming clearer the more time i spend on here, that even after 2 years of not being anywhere near a zed, im pretty good at diagnosing faults, which imho is invaluable experience that i wouldnt have with any other car.
