when you do get it converted insist on a mileage verification certificate from the company - invaluable when you come to pass the car on.

 

When I got mine converted I had them leave the KM on the clock and from now on it counts up in miles - I know its a mixture but for transparency I prefer and would prefer that the odometer has not been altered in any way and that way nobodys knocked a few thousand off it when it was changed.

One of the import dealers I'm talking to said a similar thing when I asked about resetting the mileage. Apparantly it voids any warranted miles certificate you get from Japan so my concern would be questions over the mileage in the future for resale.

My preference would be all in miles, but I've had quite a few imports and they've all been mixed.

I don't remember farthings and crowns but I do remember Choppers/Grifters, Vic 20/ZX81, Atari, Pacman/Space Invaders, Rubic's Cube, the Silver Jubilee, Digby Biggest Dog in the World, Video Killed the Radio Star, I've Got a Brand New Combine Harvester, Chorlton and the Wheelies, long summers, deep snow in the winter, Freddie Laker's Skytrain etc etc etc

I remember all that too - had a Grifter, awesome!

Remember the Adventure Game, like the crystal maze but with celebs, a tea plant and the Vortex. Superb stuff.

I had the Atari 2600 and a Sharp MZ700.

I remember a football game where you stood either side of the road and tried to hit the kerb causing the ball to come back. Kids play that now but use bricks and aim at cars.

Can't wait for this, Aliens is one of my favourite films of all time. AVP wasn't the best but for die hard fans you've gotta love it - if only for the alien/predator fight scene! Lets face it how many of us discussed that as kids in school (probably 18 years ago - scary!).

I still remember the first time I watched Predator, awesome. The second wasn't as good but still a classic.

I'm near Llanelli, South West Wales.

I am swinging round to that UK one now, 22k mileage isn't a lot with the full nissan service history its probably good value.

 

Just emailed the guy to ask about 'clicking' noises and the condition of the paintwork.

 

The uk one in that link has done 18800 6000 miles a year is very low imo. Plus it has the GT pack etc.

 

Also the uk is likely to have had a lot of the zed's nigles sorted out by now e.g clicking axles and skipping bose. Someone on here just bought a zed and got a quote for the rear axles and was quoted circa £700 per side plus labour and VAT etc.

Yup, the more I think about it the more I'm sure its gotta be UK. Paying for the london one bothers me - long way to go to view the car and risky taking cash. I work in london occassionaly so could sort something out maybe.

How about this one:

There are loads of zeds below your budget if you go for silver or gunmetal

I should have added that one, am also quite interested in it and have emailed the owner. Its a base model so no brembos (tho looks like it on the pics) and no Bose I think.

I only really dismissed this one when I saw the JDM at HSC for 15.5k with only 6k on her. This one is UK though, but when you put the two together the JDM dealer is bound to drop to 15k or less but the UKDM owner wasn't willing to drop further than £200.

Any real benefit to going UKDM - £500 more with 16k more miles on her?

As for colour, I would consider black (nice GT4 on ebay now 10k no reserve). I really don't like silver, hated it on Supras which put me off. Gunmetal was my choice colour when I was considering another Supra, but for some reason I just don't like it on the 350z.

Not got my Zed yet but have had many RWD cars including a Supra. For my Sup I always used Toyo Proxos and the grip they gave me was incredible. They were the 'norm' for Supras. My plan would be to change to Toyo for the Zed as soon as necessary.

Hi guys, xStric9x sent me over from another site - said you were a friendly bunch!

I've looked at soooo many cars before decided on the Zed (and I still haven't seen one up close!), from Evos, Supras, S2000. I've recently sold my supra and want a gran tourer thats a bit newer, looks the business and is suitable for daily drive. The Zed ticks all those boxes so its a case of finding the right one now.

My budget is 15k and for that I want around 20k miles or less, Orange or blue and manual. Seems to be a few 04/05 models for that price which is good.

I've been talking to a dealer about this one linky (my favourite so far) and hopefully going to view on Sunday, maybe put a deposit down. I'm off to Canada with work for a week after that so would be nice to come back to a Zed

link2 this one is new on ebay and also quite tempting, if he would go for 15k.

Anyone familiar with HSC cars in Gloucester? He has 6 Zeds there at the moment.

Also, there is a Nissan affiliated dealer near me (Cross Hands), I'm going to check with him but does anyone know if garages like that will service JDM?

So, hello everyone!
