Picked up my Nissan 350z GT in Azure Blue last week...

The car already came with lots of nice extra's, lovingly fitted by a very kind former owner, such as...

-. Facelifted 2006> Front Bumper, De-Badged and Smoothed

-. Facelifted 2007> Front Bonnet with Bulge

-. Facelifted 2006> Rear LED Lights

-. Miltek Cat Back Exhaust

-. Stubby Aerial

-. OEM Tonneau Cover

I am over the moon with the condition of the car and all the extra's it came with.

Just a few pictures after a quick wash in 'sunny' Glasgow

So far I have added.....

OEM Bluetooth...

'Z' Boot Cover...

Up next....

-. Contemplating some Wheel Spacers

-. OEM Rear Badge or 'Z' Badge

Also preying for a nice dry day to give the car a nice detail.

Hi all,

My name is Scott from Glasgow area

After a good few years of thinking about it I finally took the plunge and bought my Nissan 350z in Azure Blue!

Bit of an extensive car history to get here...

My 1st car, Honda Civic

I then moved on to a Honda Civic Type R

Then purchased a Honda Accord Type R - fantastic drivers car, miss this one...

This was when I planned to purchase a 350z, however after viewing a few I struggled to find a clean example and grew frustrated!

I therefore decided to purchase a BMW M3...

I then moved on to a BMW X5 4.8is V8...

Then purchased a BMW 530d

Missed the X5 so purchased another BMW X5 4.8is V8...

...and finally I picked up the car I wanted to buy around 4/5 years ago. Azure Blue Nissan 350z. Just one little picture for the moment, I shall put other in a build thread at some point, just thought I would introduce myself in the noob section.

Only had the car a week however so far I am really enjoying it - the driving position is fantastic, feels like a proper sports car.

I have a few plans and have purchased a few parts already.

The car is an absolute credit to its former owners - and I believe one of its previous owners is a longstanding member on here!

Looks absolutely superb mate, colour looks so good

..Scotty..

Interested pending pictures of this

..Scotty..

Cash sent for the spacers

..Scotty..

Hi all,

I am wondering if extending Locking Wheel Nuts are needed when running 20mm Eibach Wheel Spacers on the 350z

I know the Eibach kit comes with the extended bolts however I was just wondering if the OEM Locker is okay to re-fit on each wheel after the spacers are fitted or if extended ones are required and if so anyone have any that are recommened?

Many thanks in advance for any help

Regards

..Scotty..

Welcome

 

Plenty of people, myself included, have come from the Type R to the zed. I don't regret it it one tiny bit!

..Scotty..

..Scotty..

Yo guys

joined a couple of days ago and i am slowly finding my way about. I have always been a Honda man and have owned 2 civic's, a 1.4 ep1 and my current car a civic type R ep3. Great car the type R however.................................. i am now planning to purchase a 350z in the near future for various reasons. Always loved the way the 350 looks and it does look a good bit more luxurious than my type R interior wise. I am based around the Glasgow area. Anyway a sorry in advance for any of my future noob-ish questions, i am slowly learning my way about the Zed. From what i have read already reliability seems great on them, service costs dont seem too bad for the kind of car it is and the mpg for the size of engine seems pretty good. Looks a fantastic forum

few pictures of my first civic:

and my current car:
