New owner from Newcastle


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Just signing up as I've just bought myself a 2006 350Z roadster GT. I live around Newcastle area. Don't know much about the car as yet, except that I love the noise, looks, handling and power.

 

Mine has an Injen induction kit and some kind of aftermarket exhaust allegedly, and the wheels are huge, dreading having to buy new tyres!

 

Although I possibly should have done my homework better as I think I ended up with both a lower power version and am going to get shafted for road tax!

 

Anyway some pics...

Cheers, Paul

Welcome along! I bought my Z from Vic Young in South Shields, not too far from you I imagine. Thankfully I live just over the right side side of the border though :) Tyres were a concern for me when I got mine, managed to get some Falkon 19" tyres for £150 (each) recently which is better than I was expecting! This is a very active forum with loads of experienced members offering great advice, and the traders on here are also excellent, both with advice and prices!

Previous owner was a woman. Thats why one of the wheels is kerbed as well probably lol.

 

Noted on the autosol. The clicking is something I'll probably address eventually, doesn't bother me too much at the mo.

 

At least it looks like these cars are more robust than my last car, a Clio 172 which cost me over £1500 in various repairs in just 3 months. With a car a special as the Z I wouldn't have minded so much but the Clio was supposed to be a cheap runaround. Not cheap at all really.

Welcome :wave:

 

 

Nope, that's an 05 reg so its in the cheaper road tax band :thumbs: . You do have the 276 BHP model but seeing as the later 298 and 309 BHP versions are 75kg heavier then the difference is quite small really.
