slimjim Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Decisions decisions decisions, Blue or Gun metal grey. All personal choice... I do like the blue. Went to see one when I was looking to buy. Just really preferred the Alzean leather, which I didn't think you could get in the blue? As I presume it wouldn't sit right with the colours together.

slimjim Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) I have had quite a few PM's about the car... mostly asking the same questions. Thought I would cover them off in the thread. 1)Why are you replacing the clutch, is it slipping? N, the clutch works perfectly fine to be honest. Which is 'unusual' for a Zed of this age, being on an original clutch. When I decided to sell, it was suggested that I bought a clutch due to the age of the car to make it more saleable. One thing that may have helped the clutch is that when I first bought the Zed, I decided to take my Institute of Advanced Motoring test. Which I passed with a "F1RST" grade. This gave me knowledge and skills in car sympathy and made me an all round MUCH better driver. 2) General State of the Zed? An independent car assessor performed a report on the car last year, when I was thinking of selling. The assessor said the clutch was not slipping at all and therefore did not need replacing. But it is one of the things people look for in a Zed of this age. The Assessors report covered: 1a) The paint job was showing signs of ageing - Normal for a 10 year old car. 1b) Also that some panels had been re-sprayed - Which I had done, see my thread for details. 2) The chassis was showing signs of early stages of rust - So I had it all sanded back and weather proofed professionally with Waxoil. 3) The oil & filter was probably due a change - Was on my to do list anyway. 4) AUX belts in poor condition - That is what the Blue Dot V-Belts are for. 5) Car would not start due to flat battery, had to be jump started - Bought a new battery, with a 5 year warranty. Basically, I fixed (and/or bought all the parts to fix) all the issues he mentioned. 3) Servicing? As for servicing, the car was last "officially" serviced by Nissan in 2009. In the three years I have owned her I have done the servicing myself. First year was a FULL fluid change. Engine oil/filter, Gear Box oil, PAS fluid, Brake Fluid... everything I could do. Using parts and fluids from ZManAlex. Also changed the spark plugs, again from ZManAlex. Second and third year, just oil and filter changes. As she has been tucked up garage since November last year, she hasn't needed any work doing on her. Although I would recommend an oil and filter change. 4) General History? I am fastidious about keeping receipts and info on my vehicles. I totally forgot to mention that I put quite a lot of this info online to be seen by any potential buyer. There is lots more, this is just a selection... http://www.jameshard...om/350Z/History She currently has an MOT till August. You guys are right to be asking questions. Specially those looking to travel quite large distances for the car.... Any distance can be a long way to come to see if a car is really as the seller says it is. Luckily for potential buyers all the history and work I have done on the car is laid out in my Ownership thread. I have been an active member on here since before I bought the car, so you can search about me and my general attitude towards car ownership and driving. Also, fellow members have seen the car at a few meets and can confirm the way I look after the car and it's general state, condition and upkeep. Please just PM me or post on this thread if you need any more info or have any more questions. Edited May 22, 2013 by slimjim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshGSmith Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm the same, I'm just transferring my private plate off mine before I can sell it, but if I get it sold in time you will easily have a sale from me, and I'm not just saying that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private plate transfer takes 30 mins at a DVLA center. I took mine off the Zed and put it onto the van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshGSmith Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I don't have another car to put it on, that's the problem unfortunately Need to put it on retention, wait for the new log book to come back and then sell the car! Complete hassle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
