    Out of curiosity, on your brake booster in the engine bay do you have a huge ABS sticker?

    The year on your rego label could be indicative of the year of compliance.... you may need to change your signature :(

    got fast working pretty sure - pm me your VIN

    If it was complied in '92 someone really really wanted a 2 seater, would have been very expensive and you coudl have walked in to any Nissan dealer and ordered a 2+2 to spec. Not even sure you could comply them then.

    Seems like you make have a non ABS car though, nothing wrong with that, the people who have them tend to really like it. If you are really desperate for ABS I can probably sort out all the bits you need to retrofit it but it would be an expensive job and probably not worth it.

    Dean's zed is also non ABS...so maybe it was an option they could remove?

    I would be keen to get ABS installed on my zed...but does that mean mine isnt a 1992?

    Get someone with FAST to check your engine and chassis numbers.

    Massive thanks to frysie :)

    "built in the 6th month of 1991.
    manual transmission"

    So i guess mine is actually 1992 :) yay LOL

    But still doesnt make sense why i dont have ABS...i opened the fuse box in the engine bay...it has the slot for ABS but no fuse in there as it never had one there hence why i didnt put one there when i replaced all my fuses...

    Get under the back of your zed and check for wheel speed sensors on the diff, this will tell you if the car was originally fitted with abs or not, as a non abs zed will not have them fitted.

    Easiest way is to look for the cogs for the sensors on the diff output flanges, found some comparison photos for you:

    ABS diff

    Non-ABS diff

    If it is showing no signs of ever having abs fitted, it is definitely an 89 model and would be one hell of a fun job trying to retrofit it.

    Nissan Fast says that mine is actually a 1992 model...so its no way a 89 model as as my rego and jap plate says 1992 aswell...

    Ill try and get under the zed tommorow sometime and see if i can have a look at what you said...
