Ok im sorry for reposting guys, I am a newbie on here! But thanks for you answers and your time in reading and posting on this thread, appreciated!

Basically I seen one selling private, same mileage, but private seller, nismo front and rear spoilers fitted and aftermarket deep dish wheels fitted. And its 2 yrs newer (2005) I dont know whose car it was, but whoever sold it to the dealer, was after a skyline R34 and used theirs as part ex, they mentioned they were part of a car club, i presume this one, and looked after the car very well. Dan

blimey, thats a lot of miles!

ok say for example you filled it up tomorrow from empty, how much roughly?? and how many miles to the tank? 350? 250?

Ok so im guessing none of you bought the cars for fuel economy etc, ha ha Out of interest though, how much does it cost/litres to fill a tank, and how many miles do you get from a tank, driving the car averagely (if thats easy to do?!?!) Dan

Looked at my first Z today, I love them Have got my heart set on one im seeing tomorrow though, Is there anything i should be looking for? Any common faults? What should i allow if fitted with a kit? or aftermarket alloys? Although im looking for a GT spec one, im starting to notice not all have computers or sat navs. Are these extras on top of the GT spec? Im gathering GT spec is:- Heated Leather seats Bose Sound System Uprated suspension? Steering wheel controls?? Any guidance will be much appreciated before i view tomorrow Was told the one i saw today was an ex members car?? http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/884397.htm It definately did look mint, and GT spec, and i suppose at 60000 miles, its about right for the age? Just noticed no computer or satnav though. Cheers Dan

I needed some buying advice!! ha ha Dan

Ok let me know how he gets on, I already have my eye on another one, and could be viewing it very soon.....watch this space!!!

Geees! Must of scared him off!

How much are you looking for it?? Dan

Yeah i did spot the 4 seats! However sometimes when you say you have a certain car, ebay often fills in certain items for you, so this could of been overlooked.... Still waiting for a response anyway....

Im very very tempted if i can find the extra pennies!! Dan

Well i just emailed the seller, if the advert is really genuine, surely thats the steal of the century!! I wouldnt trust him shipping it over though, I'd go collect it myself!

Spotted this on ebay.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/03-Black-Nissan-3 ... 240%3A1318 Surely thats way too cheap? Scam perhaps?? Dan

Hmmmm, 102,000 miles on the clock though, might be enough to put me off if im honest though.... thanks for the info though, much appreciated, is there a thread on this car already then?

Ok, heres the one im looking at: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0351607830 Dan

Wow, cheers guys, thanks for all the responses! Well ok, heres my update, on me, and my future purchase (i hope) Im a member of the MR2OC, and its a nice friendly little club, so really when getting rid of the 2, i still wanted to stick to jap, as they are faultless cars, they really know what they are doing when it comes to engines, cars, technology etc And i love the car club communities, and i must admit on first impressions, this club seems very friendly, a credit to you all! Plus i love the event scene, japfest, JAE etc, wo would love to continue to go to those! Well at the mo, i have my eye on a limited edition gt4 zed, 05 plate in black, 300bhp i believe? Just emailed the seller for mileage etc Does it differ much from standard models? Fitted with GT pack etc? At the mo, i've learnt that the newer the zed, generally more power it will have, right? And if i buy before 06 i shouldnt be hit with huge road tax bills in the following years? I will prob do some basic engine mods, but seeing as its a limited edition, i think it would be right to preserve the car as much as possible, so would an aftermarket air filter and exhaust make much difference to the power, or the standard components good enough?? Cheers again guys Dan

Cheers Ian, good speedy response!!

Hi guys, Im Dan from St Albans Currently own a MR2 Mk2, and love it, however looking for pastures new, and have always loved the 350z! Now not had a look round the whole site yet, but a few pointers would be handy! Especially to save me time! How many different model types is there? I seena few twin turbos, are they import only? or conversions i presume? Also the tax thing im worried about, i know my mate has a skyline gtr, and cos its an import, the tax stays at £200, just wondering if its same for the 350's? will the imports be cheaper in tax then the uk models? Is there much difference between uk models and imports? Im also looking at supras you see, and i know unusually, the supra uk has better spec then the import ones, where as usually this is the other way round, is it the same for the 350's?? Thank you very much in advance for advice given, or links to places i can read it up! Dan
