Hi all, soon to be new Zed owner!


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Am Gaz and after quite a bit of consideration and gallery viewing Ive decided on a 350z as my next car :)

I have been browsing the net for a few days now for tips, servicing info, Zed classifieds, parts for sale threads etc and found it all on this great forum. Its been a great help knowing approx servicing / maintenance costs and the intervals. Also had a browse in the parts for sale section to get an idea for prices on parts I'd be looking at changing if the car I bought was standard (exhaust / induction kit etc) so I can budget how much I'll need.

 

This'll be my 6th Japanese motor, others being a Supra and 4 Evo's but looking to get back in to a RWD motor :D

 

Ideally I'm looking to buy a Zed pretty much already sorted, lowered slightly, nice sounding exhaust whether it be cat back or with uprated manifolds and possibly a different set of alloys even though the Rays GT pack alloys are very nice especially with the eibach hubcentric kit making them fill the arch's a bit more.

 

My current evo is for sale here: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2606706.htm (sorry if the links not allowed, please delete) and I am currently considering an offer I got yesterday after about 2 hours of bartering :surrender:

But would still consider a part ex if anyone was interested against their Zed :yahoo:

 

Once I've finally picked up my new motor I'll be a much more active forum member but thought I'd introduce myself while browsing the site and look forward to meeting you at meets / events.

 

Cheers

Gaz

Thanks for the welcome all!

 

Welcome and good luck with the car hunt, you won't regret it. Will be the perfect car for the summer and the exhaust note is fantastic.

 

I've been browsing a few on YouTube and there's quite a few that sounds awesome. The K1 and Borla spring to mind from previous clips I've watched.

 

Welcome to the club

 

Thats a gorgeous Evo you got! :thumbs:

 

Cheers :thumbs:

 

:welcome: Everyone seems to be selling up to save cash so not sure you'll have any joy on the PX side of things but some nice Zeds for sale here

Thanks for the link :D I've think I've spent most of my day in that forum and realised I was soon browsing a year or more + threads :lol:

I must admit I was quite shocked at how much a nicely spec'ed Zed can be picked up for. Does seem to be a buyers market at the minute.

 

 

 

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome :thumbs:

 

Does any one know of this zed? Its located in Bristol. The chap is interested in doing a deal on my current car.

Its a 04 plate GT (although it doesnt have the Rays GT alloys?) :headhurt:

How else is there to tell other than the leathers if it is a GT or not?

Brief spec/answers to questions I asked:

FSH 42000 miles,

Paint, body work & interior immaculate.

The only performance upgrade is a blitz cone filter. (exhaust doesnt look standard to me?)

The car doesn't knock or click at all. No vibration through the gear knob & changes gear fine.

Last full service was 6k ago but had oil & filters changed 2k ago.

 

Pics:

 

deleted pics as I cancelled the viewing, not the car I was after :(

 

Anything else I should be looking out for when viewing?

Thanks,

 

Gaz

:welcome: along m8

 

looks like an imported st version to me mate and not a uk gt spec car.

 

 

the rear bumper gives it away and the lack of cruise control on the steering wheel.saying that it looks like a nice zed.

Thanks for the info. Whats the difference with the rear bumpers so I can spot this on future ones?

So is there 2 models of 350z - the UK GT Spec and Imported ST version? Or is there mixes of both as well?

 

Cheers :thumbs:

the uk models are 350z = cloth seat non electric and standard stereo and no cruise control,brembro brakes.

350z gt = leather heated seat ,bose stereo with sub behind drivers seat,cruise contol,brembro brakes.

 

i think thats right....then theres the import 350z which came as s version t version and st.

 

cant remember which is which but one came with brembro brakes and one came with leather + stereo etc

and the st had it both.

 

i am sure someone will be along soon how will know more. :)

 

how this is of some help :blush:
