There's a fair few here in Melbourne too Just have to make mine a bit different

Definitely the shiniest

Cheers, I plan on going for a bit of a black theme - smoked lights all round, maybe carbon lip/sills/spoiler and black plates - that's the great thing over here, no massive ugly yellow/white number plates needed

Thanks! Pretty much all my cars have been black! Looks the best when polished too and of course it's the fastest

Oh really?! Thanks for the tip .

Cheers guys Feeling so welcome! Going to pick it up today from the trimmers, I plan on taking pics however I haven't had the chance to wash it since I drove it back from Sydney.. so it's still covered in flies etc which are probably now baked on in the heat.. Might have to pay someone to clean it this time! Don't worry.. I'm quite in to my photography so you'll all be sick of photos of it soon enough EDIT: Actually I have one pic I posted on instagram here - not the best don't expect much haha.

And me, being just across the ditch from you, where we wear jandals, not thongs. Nothing better than a stunning Xmas day in the Antipodes. Well just as long as it's not too hot. We tend not to have the big traditional lunch at lunch time, but in the evening when it's a lot cooler. Turkey time. All the Pomlanders we've had over here for Xmas just love the lovely Xmas. Snowy Xmas is nice occasionally apart from being bloomin cold. Jandals haha! Well I don't call them thongs either - they're flip flops to me!! I don't mind it being cold at Christmas, feels a lot more natural! I'm actually looking forward to wrapping up warm again in a scarf and gloves, while knowing I'll be back in 40 degree heat a few weeks later!

Yeah it does not feel right having the Christmas decorations up in this heat - I'm coming back to England next week and staying for Christmas as last year sucked here if I'm honest! BBQ turkey on the beach wasn't for me haha. Haha yeah to be fair, Melbourne is really similar to Brighton so I feel right at home! It was OK, there's a few routes, coastal, scenic 'Alpine' drive, and then the one I took - boring freeway with empty dusty plains as far as you can see and a dead kangaroo every few k's. That was literally it. I just didn't have the time to go the other routes! Yep snow + winter works, sun and BBQ's at Christmas just don't! And I have this argument with an Aussie every week haha. Thanks, I'll check that out now! Cool, cheers for that I will do some searching for those! Be prepared for the price differences!! I have waited 1.5 years before owning a car - everything is so expensive over here!! Thanks for the Welcomes too btw guys! Pics soon - I dropped the Z off at a trimmers this morning as there is a small tear in the roof.. And rain is predicted for tomorrow + no garage - thought that was the priority job!

Cheers guys I got the 06 track version - I know the 07 has the engine upgrade however I didn't have another 4-5k to get one Yeah drop tops are the best! However 34 degrees + black leather seats isn't too much fun to be honest haha.

Hey all! As per title I actually live in Melbourne at the moment, however I'm English (from Brighton) and decided to join up here cause the AU 350Z forum isn't very active unfortunately so thought I'd be better off posting on here for info etc. So I just bought a 350z from Sydney - flew up and drove it back (I did 1000 kms exactly) having never owned or driven one before it was a bit of a risk but worked out OK! I'm not new to jap cars however - previous cars (in the UK) were Supra TT's and RX7's... Click here for my previous cars So cars are wayyy more expensive out here, I don't ever want to look in the FS section as it will just depress me! So I didn't get one in mint condition it definitely needs some love but I got it pretty cheaply - hence the trip to Sydney and still worked out cheap. Soo I will post pics of course, but right now it has 10 million flies glued to the front of it and I am a bit of a detailing freak so when I clean/polish it this week I will get pics up! However it's pretty much stock, and in black (best colour) Track version, track wheels in black, drop top in 6 speed. Driving it home I have decided it's FAR too quiet, so what's a decent exhaust upgrade for these? Also what basic performance upgrades (before SC) do you guys do on these? I'm used to having a turbo Cheers in advance! LadyP
