kyteler Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah it looks very good man, I assume being in the Z club you know all the places to double check for rott and terribleness although looking at it, I would doubt it has any problems. I can't imagine it needing a lot for re-VIN other than the stupid high-stop lamp. Looks to potentially have had some minor touch-ups on the guards maybe? How's the interior? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Being NZ new it wont need a compliance check, I think its just a normal WOF check and you are on your way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeubin Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 There is minor rust coming through the rear of the front guards but nothing major. I think there has been a rust demolition in the tail sill and hatch near the key button but  Yeah it looks very good man, I assume being in the Z club you know all the places to double check for rott and terribleness although looking at it, I would doubt it has any problems. I can't imagine it needing a lot for re-VIN other than the stupid high-stop lamp.Looks to potentially have had some minor touch-ups on the guards maybe?How's the interior?  For interior the seats need a bit of love. but hood lining, door cards, dash and carpets are mint Unsure of touch ups on the guards but nothing noticeable. There is minor rust in the front guards coming through and I'm fairly sure the rear hatch sill has been replaced or repaired in the past but nothing new coming up through there.  I'll get it on the road and drive it until the rust bothers me too much then do a full scorched earth approach on the rust before a repaint to match the original paint in the engine bay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Sweet looking Z car man. Well done. Here's what you need to know regarding keeping the black plates http://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBwQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fvcc.org.nz%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F03%2Fnumberplates1.pdf&ei=eMMsVYPyF4a3mAXBn4CYDg&usg=AFQjCNGhbP7ky3ZyNumvA-Gq9yDQzxpuOQ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flauski Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Your finger must have been on the trigger when that popped up on the Z club forum. Pahiatua right? Why was it parked up for so long? Goes to show, there are still absolute gems out there hidden away in garages. Congrats man, looks like a real beaut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeubin Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Your finger must have been on the trigger when that popped up on the Z club forum. Pahiatua right? Why was it parked up for so long? Goes to show, there are still absolute gems out there hidden away in garages. Congrats man, looks like a real beaut. Yeah man Pahiatua. Took 5 hours driving each way with the trailer but worth every minute. The wife of the owner told us he had bought a Nissan Patrol or something like that which I'm guessing was easier for him to get in and out of so he just drove that for a daily and when the rego lapsed on the Z he didn't re-vin so she sat there hibernating. I had almost given up on finding one after 5 months of searching here and in the states. Started looking at 350z's on trademe  and when I found out about this I had no hesitation.  Really excited to get her on the road. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 5 month search isn't that long. Just had to say that. Do what my brother did and get a 350z as well. Hahah. Mind you, he only got the 350Z because he got impatient waiting for the exact 370Z he wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 That's a cool car man. Get some more pics up! Â And try your hardest to keep the black plate on it come revin time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 5 month search isn't that long. Just had to say that.  True.  I searched for years for one of my cars. Was worth it but it ain't no S30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 That interior looks good man, well done there. Most of the Z interior is brittle and easily destroyed so you've definitely lucked out. Not sure about the red vinyl, but... Can't win ém all, I guess. Still, very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flauski Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Each to their own, I love that red interior. With the condition as it is, as original as it is, this car is going to be a fast appreciating classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
