horseofwar Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hey guys! First of all let me introduce myself- I'm Craig from Edinburgh and I'm looking to buy a 350Z! I've owned a few sports cars over the last few years (2 x Z4's and Audi TT) and have always fancied the 350Z but for one reason or another it hasn't worked out. Hopefully this will change soon! I'm going to look at one tomorrow- right colour, interior, GT spec, pre 2006 etc. Looks promising so fingers crossed I'm not disappointed! I've popped a couple of pics up in case anyone recognises it- long shot but always worth an ask! I've had a browse of the forum for common faults/ things to look out for so thank you all for such a great forum and wealth of information! If things go well tomorrow I'll be moving from one type of Zed into another :-) I'll keep you posted! Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCook Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hello and ! Go for it ! You will not be disappointed, once a performance exhaust is in the equation (High flow cats too if you really want to make friends with your neighbours) you will be hooked!

GMballistic Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Welcome aboard Craig. Hopefully it's the Zed for you but if not there are always more for sale and some of them are in the "Zeds for sale" section on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horseofwar Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks for the welcome guys! As you can imagine I'm quite excited to try it out tomorrow! I'm currently in a 2.0 Z4, which has its merits, but I'm looking forward to getting into something with a bit more "poke". Really miss the performance of my old Z4 and TT and I know the Zed isn't going to disappoint on that front- it looks and sounds fantastic too (starting to feel like I'm preaching to the already converted haha!) Fingers crossed- hopefully I'll be joining the family soon, if not the hunt will continue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponsonby Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You will not be disappointed. I have had a 225 TT and a 3.0 Z4 and prefer my 350Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 to the forum Craig. I am just up the road in Perth, so if you want to swing buy on your test drive, I would be more than happy to give it the once over for you. Alex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horseofwar Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Quick update... I am now an official member of the 350Z club!!! After giving it the once/twice/3 times over i decided that it was definitely the car for me! Good service history (all Nissan apart from last indy inspection), new exhaust (to the cat anyway), recent discs and pads, refurbed alloys and critically new struts in the boot so the tailgate doesn't eat my head lol! There are a couple of downsides but things I can easily fix- head unit won't play cd's (thanks forum) and the interior is showing its 10 year age (wear on gear knob (can easily change), handbrake handle (not so easy I've read?) and drivers seat (scuff master to the rescue!!)). Pretty trivial things and defo didn't put me off. The dealer even gave me a new Pioneer head unit, fascia adaptor and all the wiring harness' to connect it to the Bose system- though I'll probably punt it on ebay and opt for a double din job in the near future! Totally chuffed, car drives and sounds awesome- got to test it out on my 3h journey home :-) Thanks for all your kind posts! Happy motoring (ps I'll get more pics up tomorrow after I've washed it!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
