Reekie you'll find after you've been to a few meets, Zeds like to convoy, they also look very sharp in a convoy.

Well thank goodness it didn't hit you or that might have been nasty. Is the glass all starting to crack around it?

f*** me!! the moons only about 235k away A pic of the odometre was shown too. I can't find the post on my350z, but if that was untampered, that's a huge amount of mileage.

That definitely doesn't need lowering. Goodness, that's just a little bit silly.

Neat shot Rory. Pity that Subaru rear is in the way (if it is a Subaru). Thank you Husky. I've got a number of pro shots too but quite like the backdrop in that pic at the moment, given it's Winter. Rather a warm day it was, being Summer and all.

Here you go Stan, a few pics I've taken of the Fairlady I mentioned. We only have 2 here, the 3rd was written off about a year ago. And yes they are rare full stop. I think from memory in the last pic that might have been the first time he'd had the car out in public. Not sure which account I had pics of it from Concours d' Elegance. It is very original.

Welcome. :bye: Are you enjoying your zeddy?

Gorgeous Sunset. The shoes and lugs really set it off.

Looks fantastic. The shots with the flow of the roofline. She's got pretty shoes too.

One of many pics of the Z baby I quite like. Lol, I know not a very good camera. Can always go back and take the same pic anytime.

The expression on your fiancee's face, priceless. Congratulations to you both. Just imagine if you and Lexx had your weddings on the same day or time, how big the Zed precession would be.

50/50's are telling. Lovely depth on the finished product.

What a cool little runner. Looks like it'll tidy up nicely too. Neat colour.

One of the guys here has a 1967 Fairlady that he did our grass/dirt gymkhana in April, would you believe. Another friend in the US who's somewhat of a Zed collector has 3, plus about 10 other Zeds assorted from then to 350's. There weren't very many of the original Fairladys made at all, they're even more rare than an NA Z31 300zx. Hens teeth.

That sounds painful.

Ain't see pretty! You and your new girl will have lots of fun.

Cue the Croc Dundee theme.

So are you counting the hours?? It's Friday there now.

Think you'll find you are correct.

Ok, two things, if it were the spare wheel knocking, it's quite a different noise, been a few mates cars, and picked it immediately. Just an annoying knock. There's a large bolt that goes through the wheel, and has a plastic hat on top to protect the plastic tray thingee under the boot carpet. If it's the driveshaft (we're talking the long carbon fibre cylinder (not the axle assemblies you lot refer to as driveshaft's ), anyway, the driveshaft universal joint can become excessively notchy and will put out a huge amount of vibration throughout the car, through the seats, firewall etc and will be quite audible. Maybe off base here, but these are from personal experience going by what you've said. Anyway, you've escaped that one. Keep looking, if you're worried about other Zeds you look at, ask some kind soul from the forum that lives nearby to come check the car out with you. Or buy one from the forum, you stand a much better chance of buying a pearl.

Forgot to add, on all the tiptronic's I've driven bar one, the slushbox is very smooth, and the manual mode is responsive. But same goes for the manual's, largely effected by who's driven the car and how it was treated, and what sort of transmission or gearbox fluid is being run.

That's not quite true. A couple of guys in the US I know are running about 500 plus horseys at the shoes on tiptronic models, obviously they're not NA and have had less problems a few years or so down the track than others in manuals that went through the same workshop with similar mods. One of the guys here, his pre-ordered Daytona Blue (Azure to you guys) 2003 he's had since new, is totally stock apart from his Nismo exhaust. It's heavenly when you give it some beans. Driven it on a few occasions. I've personally driven 17 x 350's (both manual and tiptronic models), been a passenger in 5 manual's. Either is a good choice, as long as the body work, engine, and all the running gear is in good order. Ultimately it depends which you prefer. Take a few for a drive is the best way to decide.

That's absolutely fabulous!!! Many congratZ Lexx!!! So have you two set the big day?? About time there was another forum wedding.

Welcome. Yes there are quite a few Sprinkles here, we're not as mouthy as the guys though.

Welcome to the forum, if the better half's car has 4 doors, hopefully you get to keep the Zed.
