zedeby Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi My name is Mick, been a zed 31 fanatic for years but finally bit the bullet and have just brought a turbo manual zed 32 (still keeping the old 31 though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck300z Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 congrats on the z32 purchase and the z31 is a gr8 car 2 welcome to the club m8:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedeby Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks mate Z32 not on the road yet as she has very rotten sills but only cost me 500 squids and has only done 82k, having trouble finding replacements so may have to fab some up. Fortunately I work at a garage and can weld but its going to be a bit of a mission I think!. Apart from the sills the car is ok, cant wait to get her on the road.

atlast Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi mate welcome 10mins away in goring and sussexst 11mins away from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedeby Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Some of you may resent me for this, but the reason I purchased the zed 32 was that I need a decent car to drive while the zed 31 has a bit of a transformation. Dare I say it? the good old vg30et engine is going to be replaced by a 6 litre mercedes v8 with n02. Ive had fun with the old zed but want to do something different, however the zed 32 is gorgeous and will be keeping its nissan power. Look out for the 31 at the pod!

zedeby Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Unfortunately she wont be road legal after the operation (hence the purchace of the zed32) but hoping for a sub 10 second car. Pigs may also fly but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
