@ZeeZeeBaba Good on you for removing the standard nav, I will definitely do the same thing and replace it with a cubby. Alezan seats eh? I'm not sure how I feel about those since the only ones I've seen are the orange ones. Unless they're white ones then that would look amazing. All in all, it looks like you've made some nice modifications to make the car yours, I'll definitely take note for mine in the future, I'm just stuck in which exhaust system I should get to sound similar to a flyby GTR. ( ) I'm definitely sold with this forum though, all of you are so friendly and helpful! @GreenLady Haha I thought so! That's sounds awesome. Since you mention the stereo, is it worth upgrading the sound system in the 350z? I've heard they are a nightmare to configure properly with aftermarket stereos. Also good to know about the oil. @Irn Bru Oh man I'd love to get myself down to Japfest... :'( Too bad the time is right next to when my project is due, I better get my head down next week. I do have transport but it's nothing like a 350z XD, just a "get around" car for the moment till I do find one. Would be awesome to meet someone from the forums down there though! I'll keep in mind about the miles hopefully I make some friends on here to give me a hand when I find one! @Davey_83 Hi there Davey, thanks for the link. Unfortunately it's out of my budget and I'm looking for black leather interior seats Edit: This is a few cars I found http://www.autotrade...isc&fromSA=true https://www.gumtree....-mot/1233264550 https://www.gumtree....tory/1231381354 http://www.raccars.c.../45058348/16/vd http://www.raccars.c.../44003583/33/sp I mean my ideal one was this one https://www.gumtree....spoi/1224146251 But the price of it is through the roof.

Hi all, I've replied to all of this according to the posts on the page, I've missed out on some posts on page two but I hope I replied to all of your points. @Stan Hi Stan, thanks for your reply, I remember seeing that somewhere on the internet but I wasn't certain. Thank you for clearing that up, I just hope I can find one for the 7k budget . As for the fairlady, I'm not certain about that decision considering the downs on it but considering I'm planning to modify it, I'm not entirely sure how that weighs out to the budget. @ZeeZeebaba I'm so happy to see a reply like this! I agree with you about the cosmetic changes that came with the 06, I'm just having huge difficulty finding one that just came before the tax that's in my budget. I'm seeing those kind of 350z's hitting around the 9-10k which isn't ideal for my budget sadly. I had no idea that the HR were heavier cars than the standard DE, I suppose it's understandable considering the cosmetic and engine changes on the vehicle, but I see what you mean about the costs. I personally think no matter what 350z I get the costs are going to be substantially high to repair or even modify it. It kind of makes me think about what kind of things I'm able to afford to modify it or if I do, which approach do I go for, performance? Exhaust? Looks? Interior? The list is endless for a beautiful project car like the 350. Haha I'm amazed to hear that you did that, if you don't mind; do you have any pictures of your project or a list of what you've done to it prior to you purchasing it? I understand that having a car like a 350z with endless possibilities for modifications to make it yours can go on forever but I think it's still worth asking . It's funny you mention the oil... the problem I've heard that is quite common in the 350z my friends have owned is that it drinks oil like no tomorrow. I'm assuming that's normal for these powerful cars? Do you service your car every 10k miles you put on it or every 6 months? Ah yeah I've heard the standard suspension for the 350z is absolutely terrible in the long run, I think that would be one of the first modifications I would do to mine.... but making it sound like a flyby GTR with a nismo exhaust is too tempting.. @Rickdon And then black... once you go black you never go back right? Haha... but I do like the silver colour on the 350z, more towards the lighter silver than the dark greyish one though. Anything that looks closer to the limited edition pearlwhite is a dream~ @Irn Bru This guy knows what he's talking about... the ginger is strong in this one. @willsly1980 We talking Gunmetal now? I reckon the 350z looks good in any colour... How's that for you guys? (Not so sure about Ginger tho, sorry Irn Bru ). Uhhh roadstars with their soft-tops. I'm not sure why, but something about soft-top cars in any sorts just gives me the creeps. I've driven a few 350z's around my local area but that was a long time ago. I plan to relive that experience once I finish my university course next month. @jimmy.farrow This gives 25hp? Damn 350z you've come a long way. Oh we're talking serious now? Haha yeah, I'm planning to get it from a RAC approved dealer rather than private. The last few 350z's I looked at privately looked so sketchy it kind of turned me off from the entire "private" thing. @Irn Bru Well hello again good sir . It's interesting you point that out but I doubt I would be able to find a 350z in these forums that are within a 100mile proximity to my area. I do see you guys cherish your 350z though. It would be a dream to buy the dream car off one of you guys! It's a long shot but I'll have a browse around at some point of the game. Wow, haha a belated congratulations dude but I'm glad you managed to get such a beautiful car from this forums and good job tracking it down! (Maybe I might be so lucky soon enough ) @Davey_83 I'm definitely going to go for the GT edition, don't you worry. @Olly350z Ohhhh my gooood! 350z guru~ Your the man! That's super useful. Also thank you for the welcome @PeteWixx Hi there! Thanks for the welcome. Haha I've been looking since November sadly! I used to be a Toyota Celica GT owner until someone absolutely trashed it. Been working my butt off ever since to look for the perfect 350z. Oh my god, I know exactly how you feel! It's happened to me countless times when I was so close to purchasing a 350z after viewing it to find someone else has bought it. You managed to get your hands on a HR edition for under 6k? I'm curious about the miles on it o__o. (Must know more) @ZeeZeebaba The Nissan 350z Guru+1 with the grammar specification correction has arrived. Good info though, thanks! @Codel Hi Codel! Thanks for replying. Oh I'm fully aware of the repair bills after my friend decided to take his 350z out drifting into a curb. It's good to note that there is hardly any noticeable performance differences between those models though, thanks! By the time I get the 350z, I'll have a slush fund for repairs. I think I'll have to start working on that list I've mentioned earlier. I'm thankful that you mention that now though, it's a lot to think about for a car like this. However I think if I get my hands on one that's been well taken care of I wouldn't have to worry about those issues until I'm in the long run. @GreenLandy It's funny you mention that considering Codel pointed out that there's hardly any noticeable performance differences. But I must ask, does any 350z owner use the built in bloody satnav in the 2006+ versions? I personally think it looks like garbage. I see you're point there, but sadly I don't have much more money than that laying around my friend. I suppose that's why my search has been so long and deep.

Hi there all! I'm astounded by the amount of replies you guys have been giving me, first of all I'd like to say a big thank you and I will get back to you all later-on tonight. Many thanks, Louis

Hi there Irn Bru! Thanks for your reply, You bring up a very good point there, I am planning to modify it. I should probably come up with a mod-list of what I need if that's the case (I was planning to do that after I got the Z regardless) . Thank you for the welcome Ginger is the fastest colour? I wonder why...

Hello all! I've been a long time lurker for years now. Thought I'd finally make an account and get involved with the discussion considering... now I'm able to finally able to afford a 350z. I haven't purchased one as of yet but I'm looking for one still (Have been for a couple of months now... ugh). I've already made a topic to ask for all of your professional opinions of which model I should get: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/115939-help-looking-for-a-350z-what-is-the-best-model/#entry1723523 Hopefully with all the friendly people welcoming me to the forum would kindly take part to this discussion, Thanks for having me and I look forward hearing from you all!

Yeah I've had some huge difficulty looking for one let alone finding one in my budget range. But I was originally considering getting a 2005 FairLady model in pearl white. Considering the colour is so rare to find I'm opening up my options a bit.

Hello all, Budget: £7000 I was hoping to get all of your 350z professional opinion's I'm planning to purchase a 350z, however I've had some difficulty for months looking for the right one for me. From what I've read around the internet, I've found that the "350z HR edition", does in-fact have the best engine considering the 296hp. However my decision is always a bit sceptical, considering the road tax had dramatically gone up from the 2006 model which is £535 in comparison to the 2003-2004 models which is £305. So my questions are, which 350z should I get? Is it worth getting a newer model considering the tax? Edit: I'm sure this question will come up, but yes I am planning to modify it.
