you're braver than me! My girl just asked me what I was wettig myself about....I didnt dare tell her!

The 18" rays come as standard. Just ordered a Nismo carbon gear knob and CTD short Shifter. Let the modyfying begin! Whats the best Ipod intergration kit available?

Well, spent most of this avo in the stealers signing my name so many times I cant feel my wrists anymore! So, on the way is a Pearl White Coupe with GT Pack. Well, when I say on the way, its already here. Its in the Sunderland Compound. But since all of Nissan is on shutdown till Monday, I have to wait for it to be delivered to the Dealer. And then I go on holiday till the 21st Jan! i cant stand this waiting lark!

So, Ive spent past 2 days trawling around the North East dealerships trying to get a test drive. Finally managed to get a shot in a coupe today through at Gateshead. No more reservations....I want one! Going back into the dealership next week to order. (my uncle works for nissan so I get a 14% discount off new, so it works out better than 2nd hand) The chilli red and orange colours are being replaced by Rosso Red and a white. So now Im torn by colour! Black? blue? Or white??? Some sensible questions now. The sat nav....I nkow its over priced and probably useless. But without it you get that plain black cubby hole in the middle of the dash. Are there any ready to fit after market alternatives that'll go into the space? The 240w BOSE system? is it any good? I have Bose in my Rex, and to be honest Bose stands for Better Off with Something Else! Think thats about it for now. Christ, Im so excited, Im like a kid at Christmas again! Al

I was considering a R33 GTR as a 2nd car, and keeping my Rex. And though Im still tempted, I think its time to get a Zed. So, welcome from another newbie (though still hunting for a Zed)

This just got added to Pistonheads today....

Cheers for the invite Will try and make it, depends what time I get away from the sisters.

Found it just after I'd posted! But thanks anyway Now...roadster or coupe..

Again, thanks for all the warm welcomes! Ive spent basicaly everyday lately on Pistonheads/sales looking at whats coming up. Half considering an import, but a little dubious about it due to a slightly higher insurance premium etc. What was the main spec differences between the UK and Japan models? Im gunna be looking for one thats pretty much as standard, though wouldnt mind getting one that already has some body mods done already. Will probably go for another MIJPerofmance custom exhaust. Anyways, Im off to find some more turkey.

I'm from that place thats been on TV alot recently...something about canoes and hanging Monkeys..... Hartlepool

Thanks for the welcomes, and a thank you to Gixxer for the PM with all the issues to look for. Im gunna be looking for 06/56 plate coupe (rag tops are not a great idea where I live!). As for economy, it was more outta curiousity I was asking. If I wanted eco cars, I deffo wouldnt have kept an RX8 for 3 years! I test drove a 350 3 years ago when they first came out, but Ive forgotten that experiance, so Im now tryin to sort out a test drive. Unfortunatly my nearest dealer is ran by a bunch of muppets and I wouldnt buy a car from them ever. Oh, and for the record, my Rex ain't a PZ thingy. Hehe, it was bought as a standard 230, and all th emods done myself....Custom cat-back, Ultralite Hikari Alloys, CTD rear spoiler, Hymee Short Shifter, and other little tweaks here and there. The hunt continues!

Hehe, alright mate. Yeah, dont tell the others yet! Its a secret!

Hello! I'm currently driving a slightly modded RX8 (pics included cos Im proud of her!), but Im looking for a change. 3 years ago when I was buying the Rex, I did consider the 350, and now 3 years later Im back at looking at them. Basically, what major issues should I be looking for when buying? What Economy can I expect? I know what the official stats are, but we all know they're a load of bollox. Any other help and advice always welcome! Cheers Al
