bronzee Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I was out for dinner with them this weekend and STILL managed not to tell them about it.. Plus, I MUCH to prefer to say I HAVE a car... rather than I am HAVING a car.... like a lot of my friends do. "I am going to get XYZ motor" .... you hear it all the time. Absolute class!!! Just think of the expressions on their faces when you roll up in your new beastie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Absolute class!!! Just think of the expressions on their faces when you roll up in your new beastie. Yup... Something along the lines of .... One of my friends is a REAL piston head. Currently drives some big Beamer but his REAL car is in the garage. A 200ZX, currently getting towards Stage4 and 400brake. It is all shrouded in secrecy and hasn't been on the road for 2 years (Not likely to be for another 2 either!) Im hoping he may be able to give me some pointers on my FIRST RWD motor. Little worried I will run out of talent VERY fast in this bloody rain.. Anyone have any pointers? Other than "DON'T TURN OF THE TC!!"

slimjim Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thought I'd chuck up a couple of piccys... These are from the Autotrader AD... Seats could do with a feed... Engine bay needs a GOOD clean! All in all, I think it is a pretty clean car. Couple of scratches here and there, as well as a pretty big round (6cm) scrape/dent at the bottom on the rear bumper. But that can be sorted at a later date.... What do people think? HONESTLY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Looks like a tidy 350Z mate, just needs a little tlc. Read up in the detailing section on here, get yourself some nice stuff to clean her with and it'll shine away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bounty78 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 A lot of car for the money..like your wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 A lot of car for the money..like your wheels Yeah... The wheels look good from a distance.... OK from closer... but a little scuffed close up. But I think they are still a way off needing a refurb yet.... Just gotta remember I am not in my diesel with 14" steels an HUGE tyres!

But my two choices were either Azure or Gun... and a Gun GT came up at the right price. So I nabbed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 HAHA! You tea leaf!!!!!!! Stole it out from under me and another bloke who are looking to get Zeddy. It looks mint mate and if we'd had the money a week earlier would of been haring it down to Wolves to get it! You did well to get it for 8k - pretty good bit of negotiation. K1 and a pop charger.........from what I've heard you'll need to get your ear muffs out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You snooze you loose! Hope you find something better on your Z-hunt. This "Pop-Charger" ... do you mean the CAI? And what is a K1? It's not that loud to be honest. Sound nice, subtle. Just how I wanted it. Very nice motor there - all it needs is a trip over the welsh border for the welsh weekend thats coming up on the 18th/ 19th give it a run on some lovely roads. Cheers Will.

H5 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Pop charger = American for cold air intake, made up by someone called Jim Wolf (sp?). It's somehow a very popular item, despite a lot of people changing back to standard air box... K1 = the name given to an exhaust that a former (now very sick) trader on here sourced and sold - now used as a name by Japspeed. It's a relatively cheap exhaust for the Zed, many have had fitment issues from I have seen. Search button will reveal a whole load more....

It has a CAI "Pop Charger"... the cone is FILTHY.. need to replace or clean (gotta find out if it's cotton or mesh) Presume I could replace the cone with a greeny or something? I am pretty sure the Xorst is standard.. and not a "K1" (will have a search) Cheers bud! Just got the headlamp washers working. I had to put like 10 odd Liters (I SWEAR) into the bottle to get them to work... but they ARE working now Just had a look in the boot and the thing dropped on me! Presume the gas is going/gone in the struts... or it could just be that they are cold (Not THAT cold here today though!) I will get on the search button... Thanks again peeps!

H5 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 If the washer bottle was empty it may have taken some time for the system to pressure up so it all worked. I've disconnected mine - it makes the car dirty As for the boot, take a look around, there is a counter weight that can help with that, and the traders do replacement struts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 That exhaust is a K1 mate If you think its not that loud, then the bungs might still be in....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
