Reminds me of Need for Speed Underground 2 with the SUV's and how all the wheels look massive As with the above, not for me I'm afraid - Firstly I find anything above 19's too big on the Z, and the're isn't a lot of actual rim to look at lol it's like buying a bag of crisps - a lot of money, for a lot of air

Always thought he was a useless prick, this just confirms it. He might be rich, but his personality is about as entertaining as having your delicate bits cleaned with sandpaper.

I did that, but I used a Mercedes M113 engine lol. Bought the entire thing, still running, for £300 delivered! Sold a lot of it n got a nice 5.0 V8 table. Be warned, it's a lotta work taking them apart while trying not to break things, and you'll spend double your budget making it haha. Had mine powder coated in a bright silver, and used conrods/pistons for feet/arms for the glass. Conrods were painted gunmetal for a bit of contrast. And glass is more expensive than you might think!

Have you tried the for sale section on the forum? That usually works very well, and the exhaust is a common issue on the Z, so should sell quite quickly. I'd say if you want a quick sale, cats and all, go for about £150 - it's not the best price but should sell damn fast like that

Pretty nice collection :3 Shame I need nothing, but nice man cave stuff

Was picking up my dads new car today, went through some back alleys and saw a silver or GM 06 350z, it had a small wing on it too Near the Mercedes dealer in the Quay if that helps? Not sure where it was, got lost

I'm sure most people will tell you this, and I wholeheartedly agree, Try and get a forum car/enthusiast owned car. They are generally speaking a damn good buy, and you know they have been looked after and cared for, regardless of cost. I wish I had found the forum before I bought my 350z, but I managed to find a 1 owner 50k miles '56 model. I was happy with the price at the time, but having seen what I could have gotten, in better condition, I kick myself every time a car comes up for sale on here Stick around, and feel free to ask questions, there is an entire fountain of knowledge on here Generally I'd try and ignore cosmetics ( I know it's hard ) but if you find a mechanically sound one, with full service history, drives well and feels good but looks worn outside, I'd still consider it. The 350z is known for bad paint, so try not to get too hung up on it anyway - I know it does reflect its life ( pun intended ) but I'm sure a stone chip or scratch will bug you less than say, a clutch job?

Having just recently bought and fit an HR to my rev up, it does indeed fit, but only the cat-back - Cats don't fit/work unfortunately By installing an HR system, some plastic panels need to be removed, I believe they were just splash guards anyways - if anyone really wants to know what I mean with the panels, I can upload some pictures around 9 am tomorrow morning for you

My folks are addicted to the damn lotto thing I swear to god. Literally buy 2 tickets for every draw... my dad rang me the other day to ask if I can go buy him another ticket "just in case" I laughed n said fine, but luckily their website was down and I couldn't be bothered to go to the shop Surely nobody wins on this? working on £6 a week minimum you're over £300 a year, yet he refuses to spend that extra money on a nicer car "cause the tax is ridiculous" The most we've won in one ticket ( this has only happened 3 times in 10 years ) so far have been 2x £100 and 1x £50 - Seems like a bit of a lost cause to me but hey.

Just got home, tried to get a better picture for the scale of things - What do people think, is it worth repairing? Should I do the whole seat? I'm leaning towards repair to be honest, wanting to find an economical fix, but the other part of me is saying " spoil yourself, it's going all that way "

Cool pics, shame about the double post

I like the front, a bit of Jag in the headlights? Similar lines to the new mustang/bmw 4 series - Both compliments IMO Don't think I'd buy one though.

OOPS, I rushed. 7 months ago ( omg that long already?? ) Bought a 1 owner, 50k miles, FNSH model from a dealer. 07 plate "revup" - £8700 In a way I regret it, cause that midnight blue one further down looks great... and HR!!! But what sold me was the 1 owner and relatively low miles, and at the time, was the best I had seen in about 4 months of searching. I guess we can't all wait and be patient for the best one Having said all of this though, there are currently none that I would buy on autotrader, based on colour and being convertibles. I'm a fussy one Only wanted a black one ,manual, GT spec

Hi guys, since I've had my Z the bolster has bugged me, it had the usual wear and tear, but the dealer said he'd sort it for me - Turns out that he thought a rip could be fixed with an oddly misshapen blob of hot resin by the looks of it. Not even a nice even shape - A right blood mess. I had to do the cringe-worthy sharpie repair to try and hide the surrounding bits he missed that were still a bit grey - Here is an embarrassing pic of the side bolster, not the base by my butt!!! Hard to tell in the pic I know but its early in the morning and I cba Anyways, ignoring my dodgy repair skills, would it be possible to just repair one bolster? My drivers seat inner bolster (towards the inside of the car) is fine, foam still firm and everything, but the one used the get in and out of the car is bad. I did the scientific squeeze test... the foam seems to have collapsed or at the least is a hell of a lot softer, and obviously the tear/repair stuff bugs me and I want to get it fixed and looking good Having seen quotes for around £300 a seat, I can't quite justify that for a tiny niggle - Don't quite find the 350z seats that great, but then again, I am of a small build so not many seats hold me (I sat in a Focus ST the other day, and that thing hugged me nicely - I'm 6 ft 2 and weigh around 13 stone - lean build if anyone cares - just so you know I have no rolls to work with haha ) Anyways a long ramble for a short question - Can you re trim just one bolster? Also going to be cheeky here and ask another question, roughly how much would it be to add heated seats into a seat? Love the feature in the winter - and a lot of aftermarket seats I like don't have it EDIT : I will be adding more pics later when I finish work, and it MIGHT be light. Just so the pro's can see the general condition of the seat and advise me on what to do. I'm in two minds... fix it so it looks decent, or go apeshit and go fancy. Want to get a Mustang eventually, but that's 2 years away, so the seats gotta look good and stay looking decent for resale, without bleeding me dry - Tough order to meet I guess !

Hi guys, I've noticed now with the colder weather that my air con just isn't clearing the windscreen like it used to, so I wiped it down with a cloth- it was bloody soaked! This got me thinking, oh crap, must be a leak somewhere. Checked the carpets inside, but they are bone dry - same again in the boot. I've checked the door seals and window seals but they all seem okay, (edit: I was washing the car and obviously sprayed them directly with a lot of water at the time, and tried to see if any seeped through, but dry as anything ) Can anyone suggest anywhere or anything to check in particular? A bit embarrassing when I leave work and my nice shiny sports car is filled with water and I have to sit there wiping it down so I can see I have those rechargable dehumidifiers in my car ( 4 of the buggers!!! ) and they used to last about a fortnight, then slowly a week, and now barely scrape through the damn weekend! In my folks car they last nearly a month and they only use 2, so this needs sorting clearly - (Edit: I even tried using theirs and it made no difference)

This is not my personal taste, but have you thought of an aftermarket bumper? Could end up cheaper, and 2 birds 1 stone sort of thing, if you want a different one that is. I like my cars subtle and almost stock looking I think the grill changed slightly, and the reflectors also - Whether or not they are both plug and play I do not know, sorry.

Just a friendly heads up, as others on the forum and traders on here have found out, A LOT of DMF/Clutch combo's on eBay seem to be fakes. As for the syncros, I'm not sure, My 2nd gear seems to be a bit strange about wanting to be used sometimes, but it doesn't grind, more just locks me out completely!! Well, I can get it in there, but I don't feel comfortable trying to push it into gear that hard. Just have to go back to neutral and try again, or just use 3rd Your problem I can't shed light on I'm afraid, but I'm 97% sure that someone here will be able to help

Thats the plan really. I nearly got enticed into a new 570s but looking at the depreciation curves of the 12c (my car listed at £206k!!!) and the 650s they both lost £30-£40k a year initially!! Hopefully the 12c is on a steady depreciation curve now.......personally I can't ever see them dropping below the values of older stuff out there like 430's, pre-LP Gallardo's etc..............but you never know I suppose! Also bear in mind that a lot of the early niggles have been ironed out with retrofit upgrades too which is great. It hasn't dated one jot despite being five years old either, I find the 12c pretty much indistinguishable from the 650 and 570. Good call on the colour too, is it volcano orange? From behind I can't tell the 650 and the 12c apart, but from the front I can. The 570 is different all round. In pictures the 12c looks a bit more dated than the 650, but in the flesh... phwoar! Good point on the depreciation, at circa £130k these are "bargains" if you will, have a look at prices of 2 month old 650s and you can buy a full spec 370z for the depreciation!!!

Jeremy Clarkson once said it lacks soul... so I'll do you a deal, I'll sell you mine, for the car. Great offer. Once in a lifetime chance. 0% APR Terms and conditions apply.

Still no stock? sorry for nagging, just really want a set to match my mirrors

I REALLY want a 67 or 68 camaro ( not a fan of the square arches on a 69 ) But I just can't bring myself to pay mid £20k for a car that needs a fair bit of work, and the steering wheel is on the wrong side for this stupid little island of rain and tea I also thought about a Cobra, but to get a decent spec one, or to build it how I'd want it, I'm looking at close to £40k and by that logic, maybe a new mustang would be a nicer toy? Has a V8 still, and much more comfortable and usable daily. Reading your further comments, it looks like you've been bitten by the GTR bug - If only they made a V8 for them... They'd look great, and sound even better. Looking forward to your decision.

Order it now, you'll have it by September at the latest, Ford are now on the ball with this and all the production issues (headers, slight loom prob) are now sorted. Even the Ford CEO UK is on board with the various OC's and he's even on piston heads sorting out buyers issues. Very cool guy I'd love to order one, but I've only had the 350z for 7 months and took out a £8500 loan... so gotta finish that, and I work in a place I plan on leaving once the car is paid off. Too much up in the air right now to be able to make regular sub £500 monthly payments Maybe I can convince my dad to cancel his order for his boring 430d xdrive and get a real car instead

I was talking about this the other day to my GF, her neighbours knocked down their old garage and rebuilt it - Literally 6 inches to the right of where the old one was... I would feel uncomfortable trying to park a Saxo shitbox in there let alone a "normal" sized car like a Zed Apaz their reasoning was " We have a small car now, so we don't need a big garage " What happens when, oh I don't know, you change car? Imbeciles. When I eventually move out ( If you're reading this mom/dad, keep dreaming ) Priority number 1 is a big enough garage for a car and enough space to work on it comfortably. Tired of not being able to do small things cause its pissing it down with rain, and damn cold. Maybe I'll just move into a heated garage and call it a day? Live off Ginsters pie's and Monster...? EDIT: Added photo of my pointless "garage" - I am aware that the angle makes it awkward to tell size - that's what I tell my GF anyways But I highly doubt it would fit, think the front fenders would scrape let alone the mirrors, or the big booty

Seen some for sale for around £37k If only I had the cash. Tempted to lease one in a few years, with 10k miles a year and a 7k deposit it works out arund £450 a month. Not bad considering a mildly optionee BMW 428i costs over £520 last time I was quoted for similar miles and deposit. I want one so badly, and insurance is about the same as the Zed for me, so it's looking good. Think the GF and family would murder me, only had the Zed for 6 months hahaha

No I went with the manual rather than the DCT even though the DCT is faster but to be honest it came down to budget as I couldn't stretch to the extra £2500 at this time of year. Could always tell people "it's a drivers car and I prefer to be involved, rather than be a passenger" I often struggle between choosing if I want a fast as hell car or an involving experience, and tbh, the M4 is fast enough as it is so I think you did a good job, and can't go wrong either way Auto Zed's on the other hand are taboo in my book
