Hi Guys, Well, a couple of 5:00am starts, a missed flight and a trip to Lurgan in Northern Ireland later and my new Zed is still not quite home yet. Don't get me wrong, she didn't miss a beat on the journey back. She even coped with 2 and half hours of rush-hour traffic off the ferry and through Liverpool, the temp gauge never even troubling the middle of the dial:clap: The car went straight to MWP in Chester for a FULL healthcheck and to get some of the more pressing issues sorted :thumbup1: She's in for a replacement scuttle trim, top door window seal, driver's door alignment, and an oil cooler for the 'box. Oh yeah, and a working radio would be nice too. I was considering pushing the boat out for a new rad and electric fan but after her performance this morning, I'm not sure it's that urgent now :) Apart from the enthralling update ;) what I could really do with is advice on where to get the parts. A quick bit of research and Zcentre seems to have most of the kit I need but could you guys recommend any other UK based outfits? :helpsmilie: Thanks in advance dudes :D N. P.S. Major respect to Sean, the car's previous owner. Nicest bloke I've ever bought a car from.

Got to say, what a great welcome from everyone. Thank you. :D

Cheers mate. With the ferry docking in the 'Pool at 6am, I just might take you up on a brew! lol :thumbup1: As for the colour, I don't think I've been on here long enough to start a fight but surely it's common knowledge that the silver ones are the fastest :pinch:

Here's a quick fix :D http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/Ni...tml?sort=3&o=4 http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/Ni...tml?sort=3&o=2 http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/Ni...tml?sort=3&o=3 http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/Ni...tml?sort=3&o=1 http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/Ni...tml?sort=3&o=0

Haha, guess which button I was just searching my user controls for?! Doh! No probs, will message your phone. Thanks again.

That would be great, thanks! I'll PM you when we've got everything booked. Cheers Nick

I think the Stena Belfast to Liverpool ferry would be best. Probably an over-nighter. We've got some relatives in Belfast to see though, so we'll play it by ear, I think.

Yep, that's the same one.

Pics as requested :) http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/NikB13/media/92ff95a6-90c7-4d44-b121-a1335171fd39_zpsa3a675bc.jpg.html?sort=3&o=4 http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/NikB13/media/300ZX13_zps0989f9a4.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2 http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/NikB13/media/300ZX11_zpsf2f201a9.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3 http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/NikB13/media/300ZX5_zpsd07aeb07.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/NikB13/media/300ZX8_zps07ac363f.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

Hi Gary, I'll be across next Monday. The car was advertised on Gumtree.

Thanks! That's good to know. The car's actually in Lurgan, a few miles West of Belfast, so here's hoping he's familiar with it. :D

Cheers guys. Looking forward to seeing Belfast again too. Will get some pics up shortly.

Hi All, I'm picking up my new zed next week ('90 import TT auto) and have booked her in for an inspection/re-commission at MWP. The car had a cambelt change 4 years/6k miles ago and more recently, new discs and pads-f&r, shocks and springs. I'm thinking that apart from getting it up on the ramp and looking for bushes to replace etc, the next job should be fitment of an oil cooler for the auto 'box (given the year). What do you think? Am I on the right lines? Many thanks. N.

Hi All, Well, my 300ZX ownership has begun. To be strictly accurate, my deposit is paid and I'm off to Belfast to pick her up next week. She's a '90 Import TT in silver with 73k miles (118K km) on the clock. There were newer cars and newer UK cars but the owner has really impressed me with his honesty and has maintained the car to within an inch of it's life. I did use the Buyers Guide to interpret the many, many pictures of the car, so I thought it'd be rude not to register:wink: Anyhoo, good to be here. N.
