I'd be looking at parts availability, and if you're looking at reducing costs in running, the massive shoes they ride on would probably negate quite a bit of that fuel saving.

Being that what's marketed in Auz is very similar to Kiwiland, what about a Maxima, Murano or Pulsar button etc?? From a wreckers, and then get it stickered with whatever you need. Some like that must be fairly generic.

Welcome. Post a link for the prospective Z, then folks, can make comment more readily.

I don't quite understand that . The situation here is that to be able to tax your car, you need both an MOT and Insurance. You can get your tax online as the DVLA which issues your tax has a database of your details as it is a requirement that both the garage that does your MOT and your Insurance company to enter all the information online. The only exception or caveat to this is that your MOT must not expire the same month as you apply for your tax. For example if your MOT expires on the 20th February you cannot tax your car on the 1st February. However you can have your car MOT'd early, so if you had it done on the 31st January you can tax it and the MOT would not expire until the 20th February the next year. That also applies to insurance I think. This rule has applied for a few years now, at one time you could go to The Post Office and tax your car even if the insurance and MOT expired the next day. No records were kept by the Post Office staff, they simply glanced at the relevant certificates and if they were current they just issued a tax disc. It was fairly common for people to go long periods without an MOT as back then it was a fairly minor offence. Sorry I should have expanded that. In Kiwiland in order to get your Warrant of Fitness (ie suitable to be driven on public roads), you must have the registered/taxed. Car insurance, believe it or not is not a legal requirement here, which is very unfortunate if you get hit by uninsured dunce. Having said that larger majority are indeed insured. Incidentally both WOF and registration systems here interface, way to catch more out. You can legally drive un WOF'd to get a new WOF, "if" you have booked in. Anyway, I'm just confusing you guys now. But I find it very interesting the differences.

That's mental. Glad I live over here, so your MOT is current as soon as you pay the bill for the next 6 or 12 months whichever it is.

Quite a step up from the Toymota. Take care out there.

Welcome to the forum. Few differences. One being the 350 being that much older is a bit more raw. Maybe like comparing a 240z with a 280z. With years come refinements.

1. Purchased Zed ... tick 2. Joined the forum ... tick 3. Got to forum event..............

Not necessarily true. Know a few people who've sold their fairly high spec'd new Porsche's to buy an R35, because.......... in their words,..... it's faster!

It depends on the grade. There are many types. Some extremely fine, and very light weight, even suitable for the heat of summer, and some very fine, but woven thickly for winter type pursuits. These types you'd probably get on with. I can't stand itchy wools, but these rock!

Welcome. Have a nosey through the regional meets sub-forum. Bound to a meet in your area.

Such a lovely colour. Can we have a pic with the sun shining on it please.

Aust, I reckon that January and February are just about ours as we're Summer'ing then, apposed to snowed in. Oh I see!!! I've heard, the Aussie/Scot cross is worse. Be very careful what you say missy What took you so long to spot that?!

Caterham and hill climbs will be wicked fun!!!

Welcome to the forum by the way. Post a hi in the Welcome's.

Ice Breaker Merino socks, your feet will quite comfortable. Winter here usually out in the wilds with Merino everything, including socks, breathes, warm, wicks. Sent lots of Merino over to the friends & family over there, they've been wrapped with it and the warmth. http://www.bivouac.co.nz/icebreaker/men ... socks.html http://nz.icebreaker.com/on/demandware. ... Country=NZ Lots of sheep to be shorn. Lol, na just trying to help. I know how horrible it is being out for hours doing sporty stuff & cycling and being cold, no need when you can be comfortable. Cold, just about freezes through the bones, takes ages to warm up again afterwards.

Tyre insurance has been quite common place over this end of the pond for quite a few years. Have I insured my tyres, no, but you do think about it. If you do it make sure you read all of the terms and conditions to ensure there's no lovely little fish hook.

Here's an idea.............. something we do over here, and a way to bring newbies to the club, put a donated by 350z-uk.com sticker on them, at your local dealer or workshop that has the odd Zed through. Walla........ they'll come to find out more.

That is quite a nice roadster.

yer i no there coming straight off ,, dealer thinks he's doing me a favour by putting new tyres on it. He would. One of the links I found to info about them: http://www.tyrepress.com/News/1/22/20196.html Welcome the forum. Azure, I mean Daytona Blue looks great.

It was worth the 7 hour effort. I'm sure they have a lower drag co-efficiency when freshly waxed. Hang around here long enough, we'll edumicate you.

Spring's not too far away now.
