  1. Seen this on the trader not far from me , if you have a look at the drivers front wing it doesnt seem in line with the bonnet ? any comments guys? seems quite cheap to me too http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p
  2. hey thanks v much for the feedback and long reply , i might take a trip there this weekend for a look see. since i sold my rx8 2 weeks ago i got a bundle of cash burning a hole right through my pockets for the right zed !
  3. nice one !!, may save me a trip if its a dog so many garages lie about condition just to get you there! let me know if you manage to drift past , much appreciated if you can
  4. anyone local to this garage that could have a quick nip in and look at the condition of this car ? its an hour 1/2 away from me http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-NISSAN-350Z- ... 19bcfb9744 any comments on it in general ?
  5. just wondering how the z gets on with 1/4 mile times on a track i.e santa pod ? anyone tested a stock ' v ' remapped z with high flow cats and exhaust etc is there much of a difference between stock and modified times ? anyone done any in-gear timings of stock v modified ?
  6. would love to hear a vid of this ?
  7. yeah the rex wasnt for me , i hope i dont make a similar mistake with a zed quick question about the zed power delivery , some critise it for having a complete linear power curve, the rex was also linear , please tell me when i hit the gas in the zed it still feels quick because it has the torque ? does the zed pin you in the seat when accelerating hard ? the rex when accelerating hard did not demand your full attention or give you the adrenalin rush a reasonably quick car normally does.
  8. Anyone got a copy of the original clarkson top gear road test review?, i cannot seem to find on the net anywhere !
  9. well.... i sold my Rex today after 4 months of ownership the call of the Zed was too much! Watched the new owner drive off in it this avo. soooo in a couple of weeks time i will be on the hunt for a mint z I dont suppose there are any Zed owners in chester area willing to take me for a quick spin ?! cheeky i know but i thought i would ask!
  10. whats the performance stats of these ?
  11. i would also call the tax man to see if he puts the cash through the books !!!
  12. Is there any Z specialists who know the Z very well for servicing/ diagnostics chester/liverpool/manchester way ? apart from dealers ?
  13. really unlucky , cant you try another dealer ?
  14. thanks for the comments guys , such a shame as it so well equiped on the inside and i do find it comfy and modern looking but everytime i see a zed im thinking damn i should have bought one the rex just doesnt feel like a 230 bhp car should
  15. Hey guys , was posting a few months back after deciding between buying an RX8 and a rex well in feb i bought a low mileage 05 RX8 , having driven it a few months cant help thinking i should have bought the rex as my heart just isnt in the car and already been looking on autotrader ! which is not normal for me as normally im straight in buying aftermarket parts! I want to really like it , it has the red/black leather immaculate throughout handling is excellent but its difficult to get a good launch from the lights without making a complete idiot of yourself as the power only really comes on at 5k, you bog down if revs are less which can be frustrating if trying to beat a line of traffic in the inside lane before a road goes into one lane. when it gets going its ok and sounds great at high rpm but im missing the torque and shove of my previous cars, i havent any confidence with overtaking either as i feel im not going to make it when in reality i have plenty of room. couple of questions for any ex rx8 owners , when you picked your 350z up did you think it felt a lot more powerful than the rx8 ? are the 350z any better on fuel than the rx ? im averaging 16- 18 mpg town driving.
  16. yep its a looker
  17. any updates ?
  18. nice but how much !
  19. boo booo i want vids !
  20. erm , why cant i view the vids ?
  21. thanks guys , think you have just told me what i was already thinking
  22. Hey guys , currenly saving my pennies for a Z started with a budget of 10 k then quickly realised i need more for a an 04 plate with about 40 k on the clock . I now have nearly 12 k in the bank and in the next few weeks will be going out to view. I must say for me 12k is a lot of cash and the most expensive car i will have owned to date ! , two questions - 1. With the 370 already out do you think the 350z prices will plummet or stay pretty good like the MK1 audi tt 2. Seem to have made my mind up i want a uk gt , but i cant help thinking i could get an st import and spend the 2 k on a nismo kit, exhaust , new wheels etc what do i do !!!!!! Anyone driven a uk and gt version , i know the exhaust is quieter in the import which is easily fixed , did i read somewhere the suspension was softer on the import version ? Thanks
