Vik54 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi guys - newbie alert! I'm shopping for a zed - have been for weeks now - looking at 54-55 plates 'cos can't afford the RFL on an 06+ - robbin' sods Have several questions as can't find definitive answer online........ P3 at 36k - yeah or nay? P3 at 4 years regardless of age - even if low mileage? Do the chain tensioners get replaced at P3? I've had various stories from independent dealers (obviously taken with pinch of salt!)....... and finally completely off topic Kuro or Azure? ( I am a girl after-all!)

Danny 350Z Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Welcome!! Can't answer the technical but Azure!!! Best colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi & to the forum. Servicing is 9k or 12 months. P1, P2, P1, P3 P1 etc. Kuro is when cleaned but keeping it looking like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Servicing is 9k or 12 months. P1, P2, P1, P3 P1 etc. Kuro is when cleaned but keeping it looking like that What he said. So yeah to both your points! Ill check on the chain tensioners sometime. Books in car ^^ Tbh i would say neither, cos i really like the sunsets! But of the two it would be Azure in my personal opinion. But then i got a Grey/Silver one, so my views probably dont count for much Oh, and look at private club sellers, normally some good cars around!

bronzee Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Welcome to the forum from another "sprinkle". Mileage looks quite low for a 2004. Looks good. and finally completely off topic Kuro or Azure? ( I am a girl after-all!) Hmm, Kuro looks stunning as the boys have eluded when clean, good luck keeping it clean though. Azure seems a very popular choice on this forum, so can't be bad can it. Really comes down to what the cars are like that you look at. I'd go for the best mileage, motor/mechanical and body work over colour anytime.

Trev-the-Rev Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi and I don't think the timing chain or tensioners are touched on a P3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I had a look at the service checklist and the timing chain tensioners aren't listed on it at all for adjustment. You may have to check with Nissan what work is needed and when if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phinnies1 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I took a chance and bought one from Ebay, did all of the checks first, rang the guy and gave him a chance to tell me about the car. It is a risk but in truth you get to see the car before you hand the cash over so if it is misrepresented...no deal. I have to say I got an immaculate model for an unbelieveable price. There are some bargains around but you just need to keep looking. Good luck Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phinnies1 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 for example.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350Z-Black ... 7C294%3A50 Car looks very nice, great colour and its on your doorstep..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
