Here is my nice, clean, stock April 1999 Series 6 Version S NA Auto. First registered in UK by me in 2011.

It’s a genuine Series 6, not just a 1999 bumper and red Z. Series 6 also had other stuff, better brakes, stiffer construction, gold-faced clocks and more – see here. (and JeffTT found a lightweight pulley!). Series 6 is the last model year, only on Japanese market so relatively rare. I think only around 1,000 of all specs were made (did have a link somewhere but lost it).

I first saw it on the 300ZX forum here in 2011 (it’s the NA, not the TT). I had my blue NA at the time but the chance to pick up a near-pristine Z with only 30,500 certified km on the clock was too good to miss. Mr F called it "delightful".

After I bought it, JeffTT / Zedworld did cambelt and general prepping for the first UK registration. Also LED rear fogs and reverse, HID fronts.

I had it fully Waxoyled and had a front wrap. The last bits of that are coming off tomorrow as it went hazy over the years but did a good job of protecting the front. It’s the same silver as the Skyline – KR4 (yet another change for Series 6).

Now I’m on an island and don’t have the commute hell of either Brent or M25 round Heathrow, I have a hankering for a manual once more. Some nice island roads over here…

Come and have a look if you’re coming to Simply Japanese this weekend. Those who know me won’t be surprised to know it’s stock and has been maintained by specialists according to the service book including MJP.

When it arrived in 2011, it had done less than 1,600 miles per year since it rolled off the production line. It’s my daily driver so it’s now at 176,421 km / 109,646m – not so many miles per year these days.

MOT to 26 Apr 2020. No advisories, emissions OK. Next service is a 6,000m due in Dec 19. Everything works. No rattles. Idles and runs as it should.

Being an NA, has a nice rasp from the original exhaust (I’m told that’s due to different headers to TT) when making good progress and it’s fun to drive, like any sorted Z.

2019 work: new injector connectors, new MAF sensor, new plugs, new O2 sensors, new fuel, oil and airfilters.
2018: new tyres all round at 168,300km. Plenty of tread left.
2017: Major timing belt and pulley, tensioner kit
2016: front brake lines, n/s track rods
2015: front Brembos
2014: front tension rod bushes, drop links, rear CV gaiters

The windscreen scuttle is cracked and there’s a scuff on the bumper. Window trim is showing age. Seat fabric and steering wheel also showing age.

Loads of bills, the original Japanese export docs, service record and manual – hai!

These pics show it a little dusty – but it will be washed, polished and fluffed for the weekend.

Thatcham Cat 1 Toad AI606 alarm, central locking. Spare keys. Spare wheel, tools, targa bags. Fairlady mats. JVC DAB/FM/MP3 with Bluetooth and DAB adapter.

Well-maintained, unmolested, history, one club owner since first UK registration and available at the right price. On 300ZX forum, the last good Series 6 was offered at over £8k and went for what looks like over £6.5k. Mine’s a year earlier and has done 100k more km but that should be somewhere near there. Priced very competitively at £4,000.

Come and see it at Simply Japanese (good excuse, eh?) otherwise means a trip to the island (another good excuse). I’ll also need a bit of time to transfer the non-included personal number plate. If the DVSA gives the original number back, it’s T reg.

PM me via the club with your contact details and I’ll get back to you.

From Osaka to Dublin to Stroke City to the IoW – where next for this nice NA?

Cheers! Mike

Come and have a test drive yourself. I'll pick you up from the ferry and throw in the car ferry back to whoever buys it.
