IanLivy Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Hey folks picked up my zed last Saturday loving it so far :-) 2005 in black Alezan Leather, 35k on the clock 2 owners £11,750. Dealer told me it wasn't an import but the first clue was a Japanese voice on the reverse parking sensor! Good to be here - loads of newbie questions but gonna hit the search button first before I inundate... Hope to catch you guys later. Ian btw Here's some quick pics Quote
Ebized Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Welcome to the forum Steering wheel and guages suggests it is a UK car - but the rear number plate area - oblong (UK) or squarish (Jap). Unusual to have 'speaking' reversing sensors Quote

glrnet Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Welcome to the Surrey Possee Nice looking car, love that leather Quote
IanLivy Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 Unusual to have 'speaking' reversing sensors Thanks for the warm welcome folks - yes it's fitted with a Steel Mate reverse parking sensor like this one:- but with a Japanese voice. I take it that's not standard then? Ian Quote
sparky370z Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 hey mate, welcome to the surrey contingent. looks like a UK car to me. have u got a pic of it from behind? is there a little bit of tape over the speedo gauge. it has the head light washer jets on the front. perhaps the reversing sensors only come in jap?

Tay Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 perhaps the reversing sensors only come in jap? I've got reversing sensors, there is no voice just an audible beep that turns into a flat line tone when it wants you to stop. nice car, when i looked at the first pic i thought you'd 'parked' it in a hedge.

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 evening nice car, definitely looks like a UK to me thou. enjoy it. Quote

The you tube clip made me laugh - when it said STOP - was waiting for a another comment to follow, like OUCH Quote
ChrisS Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Welcome when i looked at the first pic i thought you'd 'parked' it in a hedge. I thought the same, now get them bushes cut Quote

Will take some better pics when I get chance, but there's some more still up at Pisonheads:- http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2132535.htm Ian Quote
IanLivy Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 forgot to mention the reg search for the insurance came up as a Fairlady, although the HPI check said it was a 350Z. Also on the HPI there was a mialage discrepancy alert:- Date recorded Recorded by Mileage reading Total 24-Feb-2006 NMR 8,500 8,500 27-Mar-2007 Trade Association 1 1 I'm optimistically taking that as someone incorrectly registered it as 1mile although is a little worrying.

BTW - get yourself along to this: viewtopic.php?f=93&t=42422 and we all give the car a good look over. Easy for you join us at Horsham Quote
Darren-B Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Another one from Surrey, Welcome along, as Colin said Quite often the Fairlady 'tag' gets applied to 350s irrespective of whether they are an import or not. When I searched for insurance online, some companies brought my car up as a fairlady & some a 350z, Looking at the pictures it has all the characteristics of a UK car Check This out Quote
