SunsetZed

Sold the Zed so now I've gotta sell the bits that go with it, although the many pictures, keyring, mug and numerous models will keep the great memories fresh in my mind. Here are the bits that I am getting rid of, pm me if you're interested. The rims have been sitting in my garage for months hence they're filthy, will get them cleaned up soon!

NOW SOLD This is a fantastic car with all the extras and I have loved every minute of the 3 years that I have owned this car. The car is a UK 53 plate 350Z GT with 59,000 miles on the clock in Sunset Orange and has Alezan leather sports seats. I have recently put Falken 452’s on the car and the brake pads have also been replaced this year. The car is MOT’ed until February 2012 and it is also taxed until 31st October with current and previous MOT certificates available. During my ownership of this car it has always been cleaned and waxed by myself and I always use Super Unleaded 97 RON fuel. This car has never been tracked and has a full stamped service history and receipts. The car is in good condition and is absolutely perfect mechanically. I’m happy to answer any questions and provide further information and additional pictures.

Update it started after the trickle had done its job but its dark now, touch wood it'll start ok in the morning and then I'll take it out for a decent run and check all is good. If it doesn't then I guess it'll be a new battery. If I do have to replace it then I'll try and create a guide for the site. The least I can do is give a little back after all the help people have offered me, thank you to all of you.

Ok cool, fingers crossed the charger does its job then. If it's just the battery then I'll be happy!!!

It wouldn't jump at all, after a few minutes it wasn't close, after awhile it sounded better so I'm hoping that it's just that the other car wasn't pwerful enough. I've borrowed a trickle charger and hooked it up in the hope that that will breathe some life into it. If it does turn out the battery is there a guide on how to get the old one out as it doesn't look like the easiest place to get to to remove.

Tried the jump leads this morning, decent strength ones and left it running for a good ten minutes but so far nothing, not firing up at all, can smell petrol so I guess the injectors are working?

I'll have to ask the neighbours if they have any cables. I'm guessing they need to be fairly high strength ones? Also, and I'm hoping that this isn't required does anyone have any thoughts what else it could be?

I was worried that jump-starting might fry the ECU?

Anyone? Otherwise it's going to have to be a breakdown call tomorrow, don't trust my local dealer, prefer TGM but they're too far away for the tow people. There is a small independent garage that I trust but I get the feeling this may be too ig a job for them?

Haven't used it since Sunday and went out today and it just won't fire up, it sounds like its turning over but not firing up. Electric locking and cd player are working fine so I'm guesssing it;s not the battery, is it worth trying an ECU reset? I have 3 lights on the dash, the malfunction, oil pressure and battery but from memory I think that's normal? Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated. Update: I tried the ECU reset and when I counted the fast flashes as per the guide I seemed to get a code of ten, ten, ten however that's not a code that I can see on the list? The reset didn't appear to change anything.

Possibly a little overpriced!!!

It'd take longer than 3 years to work out what goes on in Stew's head and I'm sure she wouldn't want to know half of it Copnratulations to your fiancee, hope she enjoys the Phd as much as the first degree!

I'm not too far away either, got a clicky for said Zed...

Happy birfday big fella!

Should havegot an mx-5 though! You could say she looks better in one! It was looked at, you get much older MX5 for the money though which neither of us particularly liked the look of plus I've always had a soft soft for the MG since the first MGF came out in the mid-90's! Hijack.... I know where there's a burgandy Y (01) with 54k on it, with mg front spliter and rear wing (in black) with black wheels. £2,300ish Oh and chrome roll bar hoop things! Thanks for the heads up but we've already got our eye on the blue one. That burgundy one does sound nice though!

Look into my eyes, not around the eyes, into the eyes, your under... When I snap my fingers you will tell me if Im in the club calendar... "snap".... did it work? I want to know too! And anyone who wants it to be a surprise simply shouldn't look at the thread and everyone should agree not to mention it in any other thread, simples!!!

Got a 53 plate Sunset with 56k on the clock for sale if that interests you...

I think you've missed an opportunity by getting the Alfa. I'm thinking along similar lines to Sarnie but I've persuaded the missus that she'd look great in a convertible with the roof down etc. more flattery etc. She's now getting an MG TF, which should only cost 2 or 3k give decent MPG and hopefully be half decent to drive (obviously not compared to a Zed but vs. a Polo or whatever else she would have looked at!). Now she's happy and I get to test out the convertible thing without having to worry about running a third car

Friends dad bought one and it broke down after 2 days and had to go back to the dealers for a week. He didn't keep it long after that although in fairness to Maserati they did fly him out to Italy and let him take their cars round their track, lucky sod!

Coulthard's ok but I was hoping they'd promote Davidson from doing the practice on the red button, think he's really good on the mic.

350Z GT - Sunset, 2003 Fiesta Zetec - Silver, 2000 That's it, just the 2 for me!

Beemer for sure!

I'll happily go to Abbey unless anyone has any recommendations for anywhere just as good but a little nearer?

Congratulations, hope youve stocked up on plenty of sleep!

So I live in Thatcham, Berkshire and need to get my car MOT'ed and have a P1 service done. When I first got the car I took it to the Nissan dealership in Newbury but was very unimpressed with them and have had a similarly bad experience with KJM Nissan in Reading. Since then I've always taken the Zed to Protech back in Weston-Super-Mare. They specialised in importing Japanese cars and I know many other people who use them and have always been very impressed with them (including others on this forum!). I've been trying to phone them for about a week now and unfortunately they've recently stopped trading, victims of the recession. So I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an independent specialist around Berkshire or Bristol or a decent dealership if no-one knows of a good indie? Thanks for your help, Allan
