Come on Jeff, stop fixing the Zeds and have a tea break so you can tell us what the problem was :D

I know this car is pretty dam ugly, but even if you were to break it at the price it was sold for I'm sure you;d get a fair bit more than you paid for it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180320576748 Reading the auction itself, something tells me he has wet deams about skylines :)

Something was dropped into the cylinder ? OR the timing belt snapped ?

Now you're just getting cocky because you are in the lead. Come on then smarty pants, what's the cause ?

It's been hit by a piston by the looks of it. Maybe it's the wrong plug fitted and is far too long ?

next one ?

Clutch pedal not adjusted correctly, therefore never fully disengaged ?

Are you sure it wasn't in Mad Max :D

Not replaced broken/bent clutch pivot ball ?

Congrats mate hope it brings you lots of fun. I don't want to come across as negative, but that's gotta be the ugliest 4 x 4 I have seen for a while.

There's only so much laying on your back while working a man can take... You'll feel like a prostitute after a while.

For what it's worth mate, life has been very kind to you, there's no way you look 56 !!! And you definately don't drive like a 56 year old :D

I was 28 when I got mine. Almost 7 years ago now!! As to being the oldest when you bought it. I believe Bee Gee Vinz will be 64 in June and I think he got his in either 2001 or 2002. So probably around 56 when he got his.

I suppose you could try the brace straps they sell in halfords for fitting stereo's.

My wife is insured on the 523sei came in at £490 with LV. The thing is she's still on her provisional. Do you think it will go up or down once she passes her test ? I'm thinking it will go up as at the moment she needs someone with her, when she passes she can drive alone. Not sure which one is scarier for the insurance company.

Very nice. The head unit doesn;t look cheap at all. I have a the same sort of kenwood head unit in my 5 series.

Muhahhahaha, those were the days, apparently they still are :D Hope it's not too expensive to recover from. P.S. Stop wearing tights on weekends ;)

read the rest of the thread mate. :(

are they standard calipers or upgraded ones ? I have a set of Ds2500 for R33 GR calipers for sale in the for sale section.

100% agree with this statement.

yes I believe so.

Hi Paul, How's tricks ? Have you still got your 300 or did you sell it in the end ?. happy new year mate.

I've had 4 offers so far for mine. £6k from a guy on here. £3.5k and his modified 300zx. Straight swap for a Hilux monster listed at £9k. £5k and 330 beema which according to parkers is worth £4k in fair condition. A car which has got as many modifications as mine will eventually get the asking proce when the right buyer comes along. Yes I agree that it would be asking alot for a non enthusiast. However I wouldn't want to sell mine to normal joe bloggs. I woul dlike to sell it to some with a passion for the 300zx. Hense the reason it's not on Ebay for Jo Bloggs to bid on. I think somewhere in the last 6+ years, you have lost your enthusiasm for the 300zx. Sorry to hear that.

This is as close to it I have had. This was on my blue SWB NA.

Seems like there are a few 300zx's on Piston Heads now for over £5k. 300zx Immaculate - Massive Spe ... 1989 76,000 miles £9,995 300zx show car 1991 45,000 miles £8,500 Very rare Nissan 300zx (SWB Sl ... 1993 26,252 miles £6,500 Nissan 300 ZX T - Bar 1994 29,000 miles £5,995 Mint UK Nissan 300zx TT. 340B ... 1992 87,000 miles £5,000 Could this be the begining of the rise of the Z :)
