coldel

Hi there Was on here about a year ago looking - ended up buying an R33 - scratched that itch, now back here...amongst other places ;) I am open to the following: NA or TT Targa Top only Avoiding series 1s Import or UK is fine Manuals only please SWB or LWB Not silver In terms of budget, not looking to go crazy (for instance Vipers purple was out of reach of what I am looking to pay). Cheers Col

Just sold my Skyline, the buyer bought the tax over the phone in about 3 minutes, was pretty straight forwards.

Super got them, looks great Car is in Scotland then?

Just in case you missed it mate, you can get me on coldel1975 at aim dot com - cheers!

I know, just the basics would really help and also manage peoples expectations!

..if you want Jaikai, you can mail me on coldel1975 at aim dot com :thumbup1:

Thanks, for the time being, would rather not subscribe until I actually have a 300zx. Its not a given I will be getting one, as I am looking at Skylines and the like as well. Happy to subscribe if I purchase a 300zx.

I can't PM unless I subscribe (cant find on here where you subscribe, and if there is a cost I would rather be an actual owner of a 300zx before subscribing) - is it possible for you to send me an email address and I will email you?

Thanks, the above is clearly my preference, wont discount others of course if they are in good condition :-)

OK cheers Alex, thought I was going a bit mad for a minute there mate. Been down the soft play centre with my little 'un all morning, it makes your brain turn to mush!

Great, do you have some photos, spec list etc to hand? (Am I just being a complete muppet in not being able to find a PM facility on here?!)

Oh and manual if possible

Cheeky little bump to the top, if anyone has a good condition, 94 or later TT LWB without lots of miles on drop me a PM. Currently looking at a few models of cars including skylines but the search is proving tougher than I thought!

Thanks Gary, I actually have someone coming to look at the VX Friday morning so fingers crossed I will have money in the bank soon Would be good to have a pax ride in a 300zx just to get a feel for one, if anyone is local to TW10 would appreciate it (with some beer tokens) if I could look over a TT

I seem to have a basic idea on the cars having done a lot of reading (and not much work) today! One thing that bothers me, and does similarly when I am looking at R33s and the like which as also on my radar is the gearbox. Given some of these are 20 year old automatics, what is the auto box like? I have always had manuals and love the theatre of using a stick, what is it like using the auto? Lazy? Does it shift well or is it 'unintelligent' and leave you struggling with no boost in higher gears at low speed or the like?

Thanks mate will keep an eye out for the PM

Richmond>Surrey mate! Yeah I am just doing a lot of reading on the subject at the moment, so any links would be good (had a read through the buyers guide on here briefly last night). Budget wise, I want to stick some of the cash from the VX sale in my pocket, its hard to make a call on budget until I get some benchmarks in my head but based on 10 minutes of scanning the ads section about £3k-£4k?

Haha Lexx! I was having a look on the Zed forum at some recent posts on the 300zx and decided to come investigate :laugh: Still unsure as to what to go for (and Hollowpoints comments have made me think twice!) but there is an instinctive draw to a Zed.

Thanks Gary, just having a good read through all the material at the moment. Didnt realise there were so many iterations of the car. Had the VX220 up for sale for a week now and had a couple of nibbles, but hoping to get rid soon. I went to a 350z meet today and have got the Zed itch back, but with a 22 month old who more and more wants to do things with daddy, need a seat in the back! So here I am! Just for some viewing fun, my VX and my previous Zed :biggrin:

...currently have a VX220 and previously had a 350z, VX is currently up for sale and considering my next purchase options - thinking about a 300zx!
