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).

congrats on the z32 purchase and the z31 is a gr8 car 2 welcome to the club m8:-)

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.

well your'e in the right place for help and advice there's plenty of threads to search 2 !

82 k isnt bad at all what year bud? and you will have to give us some before and after pics

Its a uk car on a j plate in graphite paint, will post pics shortly of both cars when i find my camera which must be in a box somewhere (just moved house).

Just to add to that last post :- car is all standard and has no mods so hopefully hasnt been abused, and sounds lovely, no knocks or rattles.

mine's on a j-spec j reg and in general good condition with not many mods at min but the list is long look forward to seeing the pics bud and errmm rattles i have one or too lol

After years with the 31 I know the car inside out, but this new beastie looks very complicated. Heaven forbid anything goes wrong with the engine!

Hello and welcome!

welcome mick,hope you get your zed on the road soon then we might see you at a meet.

Thanks baby

sorry that reply was for 300zx girl but thanks also for the welcome, seems like a friendly place

Hi mate welcome 10mins away in goring and sussexst 11mins away from you

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!

:hyper:Hi Mate good luck with the Transplant I for 1 would like to see it in action

Welcome and see ya at the Pod:hyper:

its gonna take some choppin and changing, break servo needs relocating, but it will be done, monstrous torque, hope the old axle has the balls. Should do it with a different car but just love the zed 31

Hopefully it will work ,:dance: what a monster in sheeps clothing . :bow:it will definately catch a lot of people out Good Luck mate !!!!!!!:hyper::hyper::hyper:

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.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and gals bed is calling so ttfn

Welcome to the club Mick :D

welcome.....and as to the engine they are a strong lump...its mostly overheating / cooling issues that does them in...that and sodding about when upping the boost leading to detonation etc :D

No cooling probs as yet, wont be touching the boost, just good regular maintenance and a nice set of new wheels.

Ok guys and girls, before I take on more welding than I want to, is there anyone who knows where to source new sills??
