RB84 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Happy Z hunting Rich, ive just part exchanged a Clio 197 cup for my 350Z last week and never looked back mate. Thanks David. I've pretty much done a deal on a 350 now, paid a deposit last night to complete this next weekend. Doesn't feel real yet! Just have to sell my Clio now...

RB84 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 Well I now have the 350!! Gunmetal Grey, Alezan leather, GT, 53 reg, 31K, Rear parking sensors, Nismo exhaust & gear knob. Been out for a drive and absolutely love it! The exhaust seems to make a real difference to the sound compared to what I have heard in other 350's - is that right? Either way - what a car! Thanks for everyone's help on here, I think I've got a good one (fingers crossed). Cheers, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB84 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 It's a bit of a mucky one, along with a dirty 182 but both to be cleaned tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 looks congrats some nice rear led brake lights now odd the parking sensors look black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB84 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 You have spotted correctly - they are black. Any idea why? The other GM I saw had body-coloured (or at least close to) sensors. I don't mind either way but interesting that it seems to be different to 'normal'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind either way but interesting that it seems to be different to 'normal'. could have been purchased after and not a dealer fit, you can buy the nissan kits on ebay cheap ? you could try a touch up pen on them the nismo gives a nice deeper tone to the exhaust without it being too shouty, the oem system is too quiet imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like it is a Nissan system and I'm guessing fitted by Nissan? Not so sure but I won't worry too much. The Nismo does sound very nice!

RB84 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Got it cleaned up (exterior) this morning and took some photos; And my Clio (that's for sale) got in the action too; By the way - does anyone know if the numberplate on the Z is legal or not? It was like that when I bought it and to be honest don't really love the look of it so might change sometime anyway. But in general I can't get rid of the on my face!!

GIXXERUK Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 not legal, its sporting an illegal font better pics mate. looks much now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nice looking Zed. I know all about illegal plates now..... Its probably something extra the police would pull you for rather than pulling you simply for the plate. As it is easily readable, and if you were driving past them, they may not initially see that the font is in italics. But they are cracking down on all this now. £30 fixed penalty.

Stew Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 My Mum got done for plates no worse than that. £30 fine! That was all she got pulled for.... so she said anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB84 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 I think new plates are in order then. That's fair enough as I think the added graphics on this tend to look a bit 'try-hard' anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB84 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Can I be charged for spamming my own thread?? Had a nice little drive out to Sandbanks ferry and over to Corfe today, took a couple of pics and thought I'd share them. Still loving the car even though the dreaded left speaker sound loss occurs with the CD... Oh and I only stalled the once leaving the ferry...

Stew Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm sure I've worked in the middle of the woods in the picture. I'm pretty sure that's Wytch Farm. Ah, fond memories staying in the Springfield and tearing up Wareham at the weekends! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
