New owner from Aberdeen


Recommended Posts

Evening folks!

 

So after hankering one for a while I finally got round to buying my first Z tonight! :D

Its a 2003 import with a full Nismo V1 kit (most likely rep) and some kind of black 20's. Needs a bit of TLC here and there but overall I am delighted with it.

 

Let the spending begin!!!

 

Apologies in advance for any silly questions.

Final update to my newbie thread. Still loving the car - more every day!

 

Changed oil and filter with Castrol Edge 5W30. Old filter was rusty an oil was in a pretty nasty state. Still waiting for new clips to refit the undertray. Every bolt sheared!

Purchased and fitted a standard airbox, second hand AFM and a new panel filter to replace the total hobo bodged cone filter that was on it - drain pipe+silcone+self tappers and a rusty home made bracket!

Coolant flushed and replaced with fresh correct spec - what a bugger that was to bleed! Nearly 3 hours it took me!

Both aux belts replaced.

Bumper grilles refitted correctly.

Headlights given a quick polish to remove the worst of the clouding.

Nasty door bump protectors and squinty tailgate Z badge removed

New front tyres ordered.

New tailgate struts ordered.

Stupid big sub box and amp removed.

Discovered it is on Bilstein shocks all round.

Scrubbed it all over inside and out and removed all trace of previous owners - including several sealed hyperdermic needles! :scare:

 

Next few jobs on my list - gearbox oil + molyslip, brake fluid replacement, track rods and alignment, full machine polish detail, smoke up rear tyres and replace!

 

Final little pic from my first spirited drive out a couple of nights back
