My 05 Roadster


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

New here. I bought my 350Z a few months ago and wanted to join the community. I bought this car for 3.8k with just over 90k on the clock. Car a few issues but nothing I can't handle. Owning the car for just under 4 months I've noticed the below

 

  • Heated seats, not sure if they even work or they take for ever to come on and when they do, it's only mild
  • Fuel gauge is wrong (Presuming it's the fuel sender) when tank says it's half full, it's actually empty
  • Drivers side window it's stubborn, goes down fine but won't go back up. Gotta lock the windows before it goes up.
  • Roof only goes 90% down (I found the fix, just need to order the parts but due to being winter. Not a priority)

 

 

Here are my plans fort he car in 2025 

 

  • Repair the paintwork, there's some bad scuffs on it. It looks like it's had a poor respray in the past like the bonnet is a different shade of blue to the rest of the car. But I got some carbon fibre effect wrap to cover the bonnet
  • Install some small mods such as induction kit, maybe a small body kit, exhaust system
  • Restore the missing parts such as underpanel tray, replace the wheel arch covers, replace the brake back plates
  • Install a more modern head unit, one with apple carplay/android auto
  • replace/improve the interior as the panels are damaged
  • Underseal the car professionally, the underside has little rust and had protection done before but it was only half a job it looks like

 

 

 

If anyone can suggest any tips for the car or any businesses that could help me with my journey then that'll be amazing! I was hoping to restore the paint back to perfection. I know one or two garages in my area that could help me with the mods but any suggestions are welcome

 

 

Currently this car looks like a neglected project car but i wanna be that person to restore this

Welcome and enjoy!

 

I don't know what it is about blue paint, but to me it always looks cracking under lights at night time events.  I nearly bought a 350z convertible in blue 20-odd years ago, I even got as far as putting a deposit down, but went for a blue Mitsubishi GTO import instead for a project car.

 

So far I've got all my parts either at the local stealers or @Coz@TORQEN (who is brilliant)
