GMballistic Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Great cars both of them. I used to have an EP3 Type R before I got my 350 and it was the most reliable car I have ever owned. I did also consider the FN2's before I decided on buying the 350 but felt I wanted a real change from my old EP3. Love the FN2's though and really wanted a turbo charged one after seeing TDi's boosted FN2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks mate! Ah cool, yes they are extremely reliable, I loved my FN2 to bits but wanted a change after owning it for 4 years. I too wanted something completely different and was a toss up between the 350Z and the S2000. TDi's boosted FN2 is amazing! *drool* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 So I picked up my 350Z yesterday from the dealership yesterday and had a nice 2 hour drive home. I'm very impressed with the car and glad I went for it. First thing I done when I got home was remove the horrible plate holder on the front which I think gives it a cleaner look. Going to go for some smaller plates eventually though. Before and after the plate holder removal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjf1985 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 And another update! Got my new Gear Knob through the post yesterday so had to fit that after work tonight. Wasn't keen on the standard one so been wanting to change it. It's a Razo knob in Neo Chrome, looks awesome and feels great! Will get a better pic in the light...

Umm can't decide, was going to get spacers for now but think I may just get some new rims pretty soon and if so I'll go wider then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wider rims would be better, I have spacers which make it look miles better but I don't trust them so tend not to take any risks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
