Is it pzrked up on a drive in Allanville/Moorview? Are you loving it then Si? I can't wait to buy one Yeah ill pester next time I see him.

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone in the Burnley area would be willing to come with me to look at a car...? It's a '98 zed. I have limited knowledge about looking at a mechanically sound car anyway, never mind what I should be looking for on a zed. I'd appreciate any help :-) I'll be looking to come down one Saturday (maybe Sunday) this month. Thanks :-) :thumbup1:

I only know of two in the area. Theres that one in Forest Hall way and one around about Camperdown/Dudley area - - - Updated - - - Hes called Martin. Hes had it about 6 months. I dont think hes actually joined a forum for it

I know the one. Hes not active on any of the forums.

Yeah I'm game, just let me know what time :)

Is anyone doing anything in the near future? I need to get a look at some zeds! Haha

I gather the link has been removed? can you pm me it?

Ok cool, have you got a link you could send me & I'll check it out?

I'm at work on Saturday but I'm keen to make an appearance on the Sunday if its not too far down. Probably no further than like 30/40 miles from Newcastle thereabouts

Tell your mate to keep it till Christmas & I'll have a look haha

Yeah & does it have good history? If its up when I'm in the market I might be interested. It looks good at the moment from my novice eyes hah I'll have to get reading up on the mods etc

Not going to lie, I know next to nothing about mechanics unfortunately. I chose Xbox over helping my dad regretfully when he tinkered about with cars when I was younger. I'd love to build my own but the reality is its cheaper to buy someone else's & tweak to my tastes. I also know nothing about engine/transmission mods etc. I am trying to learn though!

If it had been up in a years time or so I'd have definitely been interested...

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=251214123604 I found this the other day... thoughts?

So what mileage has it got out of curiosity?

Yeah fair enough, at the minute i don't intend to do many track days or anything. That could change though! But I would have a bash on a straight! Mainly what I want is quick acceleration at the lights, so a manual is the preferred option, but an auto will still be quicker than the majority of vehicles on the road I imagine. I do love putting the boy racers to shame, even my Astra is good at that, so a zed would be so much more satisfying.

Meaning i've never driven an automatic car before. But i haven't driven - or even sat in - a zed before

Is this the one that's in your garage? Looks nice and sounds well kitted out too! Still haven't decided if i'd have an auto or not - never drove one like - is there much of a noticeable difference between the auto tt & manual tt? I know standard to manual comes with 300bhp & the auto comes with 280bhp, but obviously i've never driven either. I need to get reading up on mods & stuff as well though, kind of jargon to me! At the minute I have a standard astra coupe so i'm new to the mod market as well haha.

Ooo sounds good. Do you know an ETA so I'm not pestering him if its gonna be completed in like 2-3 months, I'm probably looking at Christmas if I'm being realistic

Champion. Cheers mate! :thumbup:

I don't mean just those specific ones, they are just examples of where there is no picture or explanation to what the specific spec has. So I'm wondering if there are no pictures/descriptions of the change whether it is just the same as the previous spec. As I've said, there's nothing showing up on my computer for about 50% of the pictures so I'm wondering if they're just to be continued from the previous spec. If you get what I mean?

That's ideally what i'm aiming for at the minute. But finding them is quite a challenge. Only seen a '98 one in good condition. But again, i've not been looking thoroughly for very long. And i do agree though, good condition etc over spec. (Has to be tt though!)

Just a quick question, http://www.300zx.org.uk/model_variations.htm This link... i don't know whether it's my lousy work computers with minimal flash or what have you, but a lot of the pictures aren't showing up. Is this an issue with the computer, do the pictures not exist or does the lack of picture mean that it is continuing from the previous - for example, SERIES I has no central locking & states "none". SERIES II has no picture or statement (MEANING THAT IT HAS NO CENTRAL LOCKING) SERIES III has a picture of a central locking key (MEANING IT HAS C/L) etcetcetc. SERIES I has a black speedo SERIES II-V have no pictures - DOES THIS MEAN THEY HAVE A BLACK SPEEDO? SERIES VI has a white speedo etc Obviously some of you know i'm planning on buying a zed in the next year or so & i'm just trying to work out which model year i'd prefer if i had the option. Cheers. :detective:

Better than the zed? Its a mk3 we're looking at. Alright to drive, but I didnt really get a chance to open the throttle up on the test drive or anything
