Who in the what now? The rate they fold and if tandem doesn't so much, just the fact that they do fold.

Dunno about over there, but they've moved hardly any at all over here. Auckland being the biggest city in NZ, and thus far (unless it's changed in the last couple of weeks), they'd only sold 4 brand new 370's. There are plenty of ex-demo ones on Trade Me, which is like Fleabay. And if you read some of the literature of recent times, they were going to produce a reduced number of 370's due to the economy and the expected numbers they may sell. Plus a lot dealers get kickbacks for financing, so maybe cash isn't as king as it once was.

So another 30k until you have to change the head gasket then?!

Welcome to the forum. Like the red accents inside the car.

Not a bad alignment that's chewing into the inner shoulder of the tyre perhaps?

I was just about to say, you wouldn't want to drive it when it looks so good.....

Welcome to the forum. Cool looking R32. Interesting project, switching the dash and door cards over. Do the cards actually fit? Or near to?

Welcome to the world of Zedding.

Welcome to the forum Hallowman. Good luck with your quest for Z ownership.

Welcome to the forum Veilside.

You can always send your car over to NZ for cleaning Lucy.

It's only a small ding. Have it filled. Much easier option than taking a whole panel out. Mission.

The panel looks fine. More a trick of the light. The left side profile photo is a little odd, hard to see with any clarity what the passengers side looks like. 350's are very commonly known for the difference in panel colour, between the plastic bumpers/A pillar cover/sills, being a marginally different colour to the metal bonnet/hatch/arches/doors due to the way they're painted. Depends on the light as to weather it's obvious or not. The brighter and lighter coloured ones usually being the more obvious.

Any photos of cleaned Rusty?? Didn't you have the cleaning fairies hard at work whilst you were away Mart?

More than an African drum?

Think we need our own Kiwi coloured tartan. Lol, who let you out of your jandals?!

Nice work Stew. At least if you're in the car, it's clean and shiny, so won't drive you nuts.

New Zed owner alert.

Neat story Bodyboarder. Car people unite. The Z still gets frequent thumbs up from very expensive car drivers, even now over 6 years on. A true petrol head, won't give a damn what "badge" it has. Nor does it matter in the grander scheme of things.

I thought my "catburglar" comment on page 1, rather apt, it's stealing your time, money (due to having to make trips to dealership, to fix the next issue) and your energy. And if you let it, your sanity. I've been through this with my Zed, to the same sort of extend. So I totally understand how you feel. Things to ask yourself: 1. How much do I like this car? 2. Is it worth the hassle of battling for it, to be fixed constantly, with the latest issue? 3. How much time & energy am I investing in trying to sort the issues, back & forth to dealer & how time off the road? (Time is money). If you've just answered no, probably wise to part with the car, find something that is more reliable who stand behind the product 100%. Good luck.

So as happy as a sandboy in a Zed.

Welcome to the forum Nismo. By the way, dealers especially non-Niss one's give some funny names. The correct name is Pike's Peak White. And it wasn't a colour that was sold new into NZ. Watch out, let a few Kiwi's in here, the place will be overrun!

Welcome to the forum Ricardo. We sympathise totally. They're sent to eat our wallets, but at least we get the enjoyment.

Welcome and enjoy the drive home.

What rewarding views. Great looking, very well formed tracks.
