CaptainSensible

Thanks gents, have put my mind at rest. Plus will give the bluetooth a try. I did try to search but obviously not hard enough as couldn't find anything.

Driving over to Cardiff tonight for dinner, looking forward to doing a racing start at the bridge toll.

I’ve had my Zed for just over a fortnight now and generally loving it, but there are a couple of questions I have:

Firstly, over the last few days with the great weather have been driving around with the windows down. Have noticed that when giving it the beans that I hear a slight whine from the transmission, sounds a little bit like a supercharger if I’m honest, although my car isn’t supercharged! Does anyone else get this or could it indicate a problem?

Secondly, the Bluetooth phone kit. Unfortunately the dealer I bought my Z from lost my manual. I have found a PDF of a American manual online but it has no mention of how the Bluetooth system works. It would be pretty handy to get it set up, anyone know where I can find a guide?

Thanks.

Aaargh, link not working. Dammit.

Well done buddy, hope you got a good deal. Get ready for lots of grinning.

Just take it easy for a while bud, the RWD thing takes a little getting used to.

 

You have also picked the fastest colour

+1 to both of the above statements. RWD is a whole different animal.

£750 a rim plus tyres puts you at about £3.5k - £4k

How much? I think I shall stick to admiring from afar.

I have to say Ian I do really like those wheels, looking forward to seeing them in the metal at the end of June.

Great write up.

I am really looking forward to seeing one in the metal now.

Sod the running costs, its an awesome machine. If I had the cash I'd have one in a heartbeat.

Very smart mate, best colour as well.

The thing to remember about most cars is they better in some colours than others. For example while a lambo looks great in orange it wouldn't look right in red. But a Ferrari looks great in red but would look terrible in orange.

The Zed is one of those few cars that looks great in every colour it was released in. Some will have a preference but there is no such thing as a bad colour on a Zed. Therefore I don't think colour affects price so much.

Jeez, feel for you bud. Hope the insurance company are playing ball, they can be feckers sometimes.

When I was recently considering whether to buy a 350Z I was also considering a Boxster or older (996) 911. For me I just couldn't make myself like the looks of the Boxster, its just too damn feminine. I would LOVE a 911 but getting a 10 year old one with close to 100k on the clock for similar money to a 3 year old Zed, well it was no contest.

Porkers are fabulous cars but not worth the badge premium IMO.

LOVE those wheels

Cheers for the comments guys, glad she gets your approval

As for Wales, would really have loved to but have a mates 30th in London that weekend. In for sure next time though, can't wait to se all the photos

A few pics at long last! Have to say I've fallen totally in love with her.

I can only make the 28th. Will put my contacts in this time

Looks good. Did you manage to knock them down quite a bit? Also, was the HPI all clear on the car?

I managed to knock off a grand which I am happy enough with and all HPI clear.

Anyway picked her up on Saturday and enjoyed the two hour cruise back to Bristol. Such a different animal to my old Cupra R, its going to take me a while to get used to her. Went for a few more decent cruises over the weekend, took out a couple of mates as well who both fell totally in love.

I was going to give her a wash and wax and post up some picies but did too much driving so will do it over Easter instead.

As for CaptainSensible what happened? You passed me, went to the top of the car park where there were some Motorbikes who let you go through. You then went through the lorry park and you looked right at me. I was expecting you to come back into the car park but you vanished. Those shades you were wearing must have been pretty tinted

Can't believe I missed you, what a numpty! At least you got to see my new ride, next time I'll make sure I look a bit harder

Oh and totally randomly I saw another black 350Z driving up my street (in Redland) this afternoon. I heard it first and when I looked out the window thought someone had nicked mine. Is it owned by a member on here? Needed a good wash

Doh, I thought this had been cancelled. Rocked up about 11.15 but no one was there so scarpered.

I think Captain Sensible will be coming aswell

Bar any hiccups when I pick up on Saturday I shall be there, will be good to meet you all

Well done

 

I saw that one pop up a few times in my search and wished I could afford it now! A little out of my price range but exactly what I'm looking for.

 

As everyone said, get some pics up and make me feel worse. lol.

Cheers buddy.

It took me ages to find the right one. A little out my price range too if I'm honest but thought it ws worth spending a little extra to get exactly what I wanted. Good luck with your search, I'm sure you'll be joining the fold in no time.

Cheers guys, sure is going to be a long week. Let's hope for some sun next Saturday for my drive back to Bristol!

At long last I've put a deposit down on a Zed:

Picking it up next Saturday

Gents, you are approaching this from the wrong angle. If you want to stop a cat walking on your car you need to offer it something more appealing to attack. I suggest planting some cat mint in your garden, they go nuts for it.
