Newbie in South Wales cardiff..


Recommended Posts

Afternoon all... Hope you don't mind me joining up with y'all; having not yet acquired a fine Z machine...

I'm presently a proud VW owner of a Golf VR6 mk4. Which I won't be parting with... I can hear the sighs already ha!

Anyway please hear me out before writing me off ha!

I've recently blasted one of these baby's around a track & have to say I'm hooked..

So I'm now in the process of doing some good old fashion research before I make a purchase of a Z350 roadster. I would just like to know of any common faults to look out for & what modifications to avoid.??

I look forward to my future purchase & meeting up with some of you jap loving crazies!!

I maybe converted yet.. Hence my user name: Japconvert.

Kind regards

Andy.

Hello and :welcome: Don't worry about your VW roots. Unlike other car forums/clubs, we're not fussed where you came from, the fact you've found us is what counts :thumbs:

 

Good luck with your search.

Thanks mate.. I suspect I'm gonna be doing lots of reading here on in ha! I've just skipped through a few common faults like axle clicking? Rad fans, drop links etc.. I feel at home already ha! Sounds like these Z's have similar issues as the VW VR6.. 👠I ain't put off yet though. Being a mechanic I love a challenge ha!

I've just posted up a few pics of the other girls in my life. Sadly Miss Z4 is about to be acquired by a friend. Not all sad though, as she's gonna make way for a sexy Z350 roadster (hopefully soon) 😜

HELLLLLLLO & ....WELCOME .. From my previous 350Z .Gt. I had ... Snapped off round left/right mirror option control (fixed under warranty) Clunky 2nd gear (fixed under warranty).. vibration under braking (after a £960 EBC Vented disc upgrade) i can assure you it is a worn close to the Bridgestone Pentoenzza Tyre ware limit it is not warped discs (not replaced under warranty)... Apart from that you should have hour after after hour enjoyable motoring. I enjoyed driving the 350.... and sometimes i really drove the 350Z as it should be and i loved every minute of it, with absolute trouble free motoring (excluding the above) with a grin factor way above 20 plus years of the M BMW 3 series.

Really? I had an 05 M3 for a week and i loved every second of it with the M button down of course! Without M button it was any other boring car. I cant imagine what the newer M3's feel like... can only imagine!
