jedethridge Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hello all, My name is James and for some dumb reason I have decided that in 2004 when a certain need for speed game released I wanted a 350z. I have naturally made life hard for myself and ideally am after a hr gt in sunset orange if such a car exists. I am finally able to afford one and would really like to get involved in this community. So Do you guys know of any 350z hr gt's in sunset orange for sale? and Advise on getting involved with the forum/ club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I think Sunset was replaced by Solar Orange for the HR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponsonby Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 They did not do HR's in Sunset Orange (ginger). The HR's were Temper Orange which is the very bright orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ah yes it was called Tempur Orange to be precise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntelopeSam Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Welcome along NFSU2 is the reason I always wanted a Zed. And obviously in the game mine was always orange! (With tacky neons and decals obv.) As said above the HR's didn't come in Sunset Orange, only the DE's and Revups. Happy hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedethridge Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thank you to all that have welcomed me. Admittedly it was a tad soul crushing learning that my purfect z does not exist from factory, however this opens up another route. Please feel free if this is not the correct thread, but could you guys give some advise on buying cheaper 350z hr's, are ones with over 100k miles ok, are there specific things I should look for and avoid? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYSOCKS Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Could always get it wrapped if you're desperate for that colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 There are good old 350's out there. They don't all fall apart after 15 years. Just recently Parsonby sold his gunmetal DE zed with a mere 30k miles on it that looked as fresh as they come. I think the big issues with older zeds would be corrosion (arches, underbody braces and suspension) and smoking engines and gearbox failures. Sunset orange is very dependent on the ambient lighting. Under the sun or fluorescent lights I wouldn't choose any other colour as I reckon it stands out like a Candy paint. Bit on an overcast day it can look like it's just covered in pollen. If you've seen it in the flesh and really love the colour, have a look at some older ones and hopefully you'll find a gem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Just in case you've not seen the sunset orange under NON FLATTERING light, here's a few photos of mine where the paint looks dead and a bit Meh Even freshly cleaned the orange isn't saying much. But under the sun..... In a car park... Or at night... I wouldn't have ANY other colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntelopeSam Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Even on an overcast day. Nothing make me happier than looking down that shiny orange bonnet! One of Nissan's criteria for these motors was for them to last to 200k miles. And with the required servicing they will happily do that. Problem with an older car and one with higher milage is there's more chance of an owner missing them out or not checking the oil regularly enough. Good old examples are still out there. Got my 04 just over a year ago with 59k on the clock and a FSH. It doesn't burn a drop of oil and chassis and bodywork are pretty rust free. (Fitted new kidneys last weekend though). I think there's an 04 sunset on the Facebook page for sale that you'd be interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
