yeah I could manage about 18k I was offered 11k for z about 6 months ago (58plate 35000 miles) so I could put some money down and finance the rest the interior isnt anything special your right but i don't think its too bad lol
-
wow that is really tidy, I was kinda hoping some 1 would say it is quicker than the 350 best stat saving I, I want 1 like your now lol
-
*Fingers crossed*

Thanks for the replies! I forgot to mention easy power upgrade for the focus True Rwd is the Z's best factor, but my previous car was Fwd and i had just as much fun on the twisties as i do on the Z.

Hey all With the new mk3 Focus rs out soon i expect the price of the mk2 to drop a bit later this year, So thoughts on making the changes from a 350z? I know it's just a focus but i've always loved them since i saw them and would like to own one. I have never driven or sat in one but these would be my expectations compared to the Z. Focus has better in-gear speed but worse off the mark. Similar ride quality and handling (although they way they go about the handling will feel very different) Worse driving position in the focus Better clutch on the focus, i've never really been a fan on the Z's clutch. obv practicality goes to the focus. Nicer gear change and more relaxed drive in Z. Has any one made the change i would love to hear peoples thoughts on this. Thanks in advance

Hey everyone I seem to have something creaking from the rear, i done my research and found loads on droplinks (Kindly supplied by clarkmotorsport) so i replaced them with new ones and it's still there! It's completely standard and the noise is much more noticeable when cold and going over uneven surfaces. Any help is appreciated
-
My insurance company don't want to know if i mod anything to do with the suspension, so i will be sticking with the OEM ones from clark motorsport, Thanks for the replies you've all been very helpful.
-
Looks good, but would i need to tell my insurance company? would these be classed as a suspension mod? Thanks for the reply

Hey all I've been getting a knocking noise from the rear suspension and have seen plenty of posts about drop links, i found these on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Nissan-350Z-2003-2009-REAR-ANTI-ROLL-DROP-LINK-RODS-x-2-/360505534039?hash=item53efcde657 Will these be ok? Or would it be better to contact Nissan from a genuine part? Thanks

2008 HR 31k on clock FYI

Hey Guys I've been having this problem for over a month now, and i seem to have developed a metallic squak/rattle sounds? sounds like its coming from front passnger wheel or that side of the engine, not really sure but it only happens when accelerating and only for the first few minutes of driving then it dies down a bit. Its quite loud when that window side is down and doesnt sounds healthy. Any ideas as to what this could be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
-
Cheers guys i found the failed welding near the back box so at least thats not a big problem ill see how 6 gear goes for now if it gets any worse ill get it down the garage.
-
Hey guys so I've got a couple of problems the first and probably small 1 is my exhaust seems to of gotten much louder for no reason and I mean ear bleeding loud I suspect back box but I looked under and couldn't see a problem. The bigger problem Is my 6th gear frequently grinding as I goes in usually when I give it a bit of revs. Are these common issues? My car is 58 plate with 29k miles on it. thanks for the help in advance
-
HR 58 plate with 28k miles
-
yea theres no grinding it just refuses to go in gear and i dnt want to force it lol thanks for your help ill try some new clutch fluid and see how that goes
-
nope no track days ive only had it a couple of months but this problem started a few days ago its quite frustrating lol
-
hey all not sure if im havin a synchro or simlar problem but my hr has trouble going in gear when im giving it the beans its like theres a wall stoppin it goin in and wont go in at all until i pump the clutch. i tried putting it in 6 and it refused and i tried 5th and refused tried 4th and same then i pumped the clutch and it went into 4th , i should also mention i was beaning it in second but went straight for 6th as i was catching the car in front. (this happens about half the time somtimes its fine). thanks

FYI http://fastestlaps.com/comparisons/nissan_350z_283bhp-vs-opel_astra_opc_05.html and the HR http://fastestlaps.com/comparisons/opel_astra_opc_05-vs-nissan_350z_308bhp.html both should be quicker in the straights(maybe the one you were with was modded) but on almost every track the z is better
-
hmm ok it just feels like its dragging its feet a bit til the engines warmed ive been using 97 sainsburys fuel since i got it cos theres nothing better in my area maybe its not the best fuel for the engine or the short trips i do could be a problem maybe ill take her out for a nice long run at the weekend see how that treats it thanks

Hey Ive had my 350 for about 2 months now and i think it has a some form of clutch issue as when i start the car it doesnt pick up very well it revs quite slowly and doesnt move very fast(probably because its cold but not sure) but its fine after about 3 minutes of driving and shifts like it should .ive tried sticking it in a high gear and flooring it at low speeds to see if theres any slipping but it seemed fine. so any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi guys Im looking at getting a cobra exhaust system they sell the y-piece seperately to there mid section and back box. My question is does the y-piece make much difference? i wanted a nicer sound and possible hp increase if i decide to remap Thanks and sorry if its a noob question XD

Junction 17 - Nottingham. questionable gearbox comments
d0minator33 replied to Azure350z's topic in 350Z General
I bought my zed from j17 nottingham and they were a very pushy bunch on the phone, they said the condition was excellent and i found a small dent on the front wing, but as i travelled over 100miles to see it they agreed if i bought the car they would send some1 to fix it at my house, but when i rung them back 2 days later they said they couldn't as there not insured to repair off-site. I def wouldnt recommend buying from here unless you can get a really good deal. -
Hi all I recently bought my 350z and im just concerned about a whistle/whirring noise on idle its louder on first start up and disappears when i dip the clutch only to reappear when i take my foot off the clutch. Any ideas?? Thanks
-
just bought a 58plate 27k miles 350z and loving it really love the power and engine sound when you rev it up completely different to my corsa vxr, finding it harder to drive smoothly(probably my fault) but when I open her up its so much better:D only concern is the stone chips there are quite a few and some of them are quite large other than that very pleased with it , everything I wanted
-
thanks ill keep that in mind haha
