There's quite a few i've seen - S2000-J2Z supra lump, Mustang- rb26 skyline, A couple of zed's with skyline lumps - it's abit different i guess. I really like the idea of a 240z with a supra or skyline lump for some reason?

It's not got a fog light on the rear light normally matey but the two inner brake lights are normally converted to fog lights, make sure whoever does the conversion in whatever form puts an illuminated switch as its a recent mot requirement. Not sure about the timing but should be 15 deg iirc, best to get the cambelt done regardless for peace of mind. My best piece of advice would be to get it undersealed properly pronto so as it has no chance of rotting whatso ever! Apart from that change the oil + filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and coolant and your car will be in the best possible state for some time to come! Cheers, Ste

Edk83 (will bring the z or supra) Stenorth (new SWB hopefully) Mark (ed's mate, golf gti) Dunc (ed's mate, 200sx ) steve007 (in a zed?!) Chris (Stenorth's mate, Chipped Focus ST) Thats six, four more and we're good to go!

Anymore news about this? Cheers, Ste

Cool, some awesome car there! I like the noble n12 aswell http://www.comp.co.uk/gallery/pics/NOBLE%20MO%209X18%20&%2010X18.jpg

Have you disconnected the battery at any point? might need tightening up - sounds electrical so check all the connectors! Is it clicking but no spark as that sounds like the ignition is not been fed.

Wow! Old skool, i'm liking that - lancer delta (group b spec) is another one, near impossible to find either i bet!

haha nice! you'd be more or less sitting on the engine - nice and toastie!

As much as i love my zed/s I can't help but drool over the cebera speed 12 i've just discovered, lol i know i'm behind the times but it sounds simply stupid and awesome in the same breath. Just wondering if money was no object what car would you go for and why? looking for the original lesser known cars...... bugatti is kind of a given lol Post up! Ste

Thanks though!

Yeah , granted to buy the various bits £2k would replace much of the wear items but you'll need to do all the work yourself and alot of people just can't do the work due to experience/knowledge/time. In my particular case i'd say £5k is cheap due to the fact it'll have had the cambelt + water pump ancillaries/clutch/bodywork restored with reciepts for everything and the fact that it's a newer car, with better box, fuel rail, hicas, series 2 ptu, no rust! It has basically had done what you say you would do, with proof, and is still a newer car that often have much more tired interiors. There are far more wear items than i think you realise tbh fella, the zed costs a hell of a lot to be run properly and have everthing changed. Thinking about it - new standard turbos + water pipe +oil pipe+ water pipes would come around the £800 mark the engine serivce kits would cost £400-500 + fuel filter + sparks + replacement plastics + new clutch - £250 Just to buy thats what £1500 and you've not even thought about tires, shocks, door seals, body repairs. honestly think your comparing old tired series 1 and 2 that are normally up for sale to newer zeds there is alot of difference trust me!

I'm in!

Lol, you won't get alot for £2k better still find someone that has receipts for all the major work in the last year lol!

Unless its dirt cheap i wouldn't trust anyone trying to sell that forgets to put petrol in the car, says to me there's not a great deal of care taken with the car! The air con would squeal if its on or if the belts loose or the pump is seizeing. As for the boost it could i number of probs most likely is above. The spoiler comes off but u'll need to fill up the holes that are left on top and buy a replacement plastic strip from the zed centre. Would take your time as there are alot of nice zeds about for not alot of money.

Ok, cool - i posted in there because it covers the wiring you need to move from the manual to the auto.

Cheers for the reassurance guys!

Yep, i'm just getting impatient lol, eventually they'll be worth so much more than they are nowadays, the rough ones are getting scrapped at quite a rate these days. Thanks, i'll sit on it and bring it back up around easter time. Lol, it gets you down when the only replies you get are scam emails!

Would it be worth waiting a month or two and advertising at the 5200 i orginally wanted? As i only dropped the price to get it sold quickly, if i have to wait i'd rather get what i think it's worth.

Might well cause a restriction if its a 90 degree turn for the exhaust gases why not put screamer pipes either side under the sills, like a dodge would be different lol!

Apart from a seat that needs the bolster redoing (try to sort) the car's in great condition anything thats needed doing has been done!

Cool, i'll just sit on it then, whens the best time of year to start advertising?

This might be of help to you! http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=56187

Yeah, just make sure you underseal it as soon as you can otherwise it won't be like that for very long lol!
