  1. No longer a Z Hopeful, picked up a Midnight Blue HR yesterday, bodyworks a bit tired but nothing a good clean and polish wont sort, will post pictures when she's looking her best!

     

    First thing, new brakes....

     

    The rears are ok and have a bit more life in them but the fronts need doing. Well i gues i'd better start as I mean to go on. I've spoken to ZMANALEX and it looks like the shopping list looks a bit like this:

     

    DBA T3 4000 (fronts definatly, rears probably!)

    DS2500 all round

    Motul fluid

    New lines (not decided yet, what do you get from the extra £100 odd Goodridge want?)

     

    Now to find the time to call Abbey about the exhaust and Uprev!!!!

  2. How did you do that, I've been toying with car / wheel colour options before I buy but havent really got much further than crude paint shop mock ups!

     

    the dark grey / black would be the way i'd go but if you've got the balls then I think the bronzy gold looks pretty sweet!

  3. Hey

     

    A Z has recently come up in white on autotrader. Its a 08 plate with 14000 miles on the clock and there asking £14495 for it. This seems a bit more expensive than others of similar mileage and age considering this is a private sale and therefore does not come with any sort of warranty.

     

    The ad says full service history, I have emailed the seller to see if this is a FULL service history i.e. yearly rather than going on miles.

     

    Your thoughts would be appreciated

  4. Hey, I've been searching around the forum but I still have a few questions.

     

    I'm in the market for a Z, but, I'm not sure which is best to get. Reading the threads and specs I think I've decided to go for the later HR car but I'm worried that this may limit what can be done on the modding front...

     

    I guess my question is: Am I limiting what I can do by going for the HR over the DE?

     

    There seems to be allot more upgrades for the DE, I'm sure this is due to the fact that the HR was only around for a few years therefore companies were less likely to develop parts for it. I assume the suspension and brake upgrades are suitable for all Z's and its only the engine side that's different, is this the case and are there similarities between the new 370Z engine, therefore are 370Z parts compatible (excuse the lack of knowledge, bring on the numpty comments, I can take it!)

     

    Id be looking initially at the usual filter, exhaust, UpRev route but I know what I'm like and I'm sure I'd soon be itching to go FI......

     

    Your thoughts please
