  1. On the hunt for a 370z after buying one last week and then having to return it to the mis-selling independent dealer :-( I really do like the le mans blue.... wish you weren't across the water so I could have a look! Does the car have full service history?
  2. The car is on 24,000 miles so you wouldn't have thought it would need a respray but I guess you never know. The car is located in N Ireland which makes a viewing not worth it seeing as there is a stretch of water in the way! I need to have a chat with them really, they closed early today so didn't have a chance. I am mainly interested in seeing what they would take for it as I wouldn't mind a bit of a road trip to pick it up.... might even pose as a bit of a bargaining chip to get the price down further seeing as it is non standard!
  3. Thanks. Yes I didn't think it would be an option . I couldn't actually put my finger on why it looked different when I first saw it. @ GMballistic - yes I did think it may have just been the owners preference. Repainting due to stone chips is a good thought too. I haven't even spoken to the dealer yet, just wanted to check this out first. Awkwardly I dont think I could view prior to buying due to the cars location. Mechanical condition isn't worrying me too much as it has FNSH and 2 years warranty but general condition can be a bit subjective and their 'mint' might not be what I think it is!
  4. I'm Currently on the lookout for a 370z, I had a 350 a couple of years ago and got rid of it for some silly reason to replace it with a diesel SLK Anyway, quite like the look of a 370 I have seen (in terms of age / mileage / warranty etc) - and its a Nissan Cared 4 The front lower bumper grill makes me a touch nervous however... It is painted silver, and I have only ever seen them black. Did any of them come standard or as an option of body colour? Just makes me think it has has a new bumper / painted at some point in its life?
  5. Looking at returning to a Z in either 350/70 form! I have seen this a few times on Pistonheads and thought it was an amazing car! If you have a price in mind I really would add it to your PH listing - when I saw POA on the advert I thought it would be someone wanting an unreasonable amount of money like a lot of modded car owners - at offers around £16K I think its pretty good value bearing the amount of serious work that has gone into it. If we were 6 months down the line I would be extremely tempted, good luck with the sale!
  6. You really have to drive it to appreciate it! I was curious which was the reason I took it. The woman on the phone (when booking the service) said 'We could fit you in Thursday, but I don't think you will want a Leaf?' Doubt I will ever have the chance again so I jumped at the chance! Probably thought I was mad!
  7. Is this equivalent to the z!? ....a leaf! 100% electric! What scares me is....I love it!! Its so bizzare to drive! It really feels like it moves too. I would love one alongside the Z!
  8. Didn't notice your location, a bit away, I'm in Preston!
  9. I have a standard one, it is surprisingly heavy actually! If anyone is close I'm more than happy for someone to make a template! Would be very easy to make one!
  10. in my defence Birdview was corrected to Birdseye!!
  11. only just picked up on my mistake! haha couldn't work out what I was missing! hmm well I tried splicing the wires into what I thought were the right places....I now have sat nav through ALL speakers (I believe it should only be out of 1) and I now have no other audio!! I think I may have got the wrong wires! Can't seem to find any wiring diagrams of the actual plug into the back of the HU
  12. It does seem strange, I have had a search and think I'm right. Just seems too easy!
  13. Not the usual 'how do I get the Nav sound through an aftermarket stereo' !!! I Want it coming out of the Bose how its meant to. At the moment I have a small speaker under the steering wheel area.... I believe this is usually the case if the sat nav was dealer fitted rather than factory. Its pointless as it is far too quiet. I have done a bit of research, so can anyone reassure I'm correct before hacking my dash apart - So if I cut the speaker off and then splice into 30 and 32 - that's it!? If that simple then why didn't the stealer do it that way!? 24 NAVI ON (R/B) – RED / BLACK STRIPE 30 NAVI INPUT (-) (W/B) = WHITE / BLACK STRIPE 31 NAVI EARTH (B/OR) = BLACK / ORANGE STRIPE 32 NAVI INPUT (+) (L/B) = BLUE / BLACK STRIPE Thanks
  14. Than you for all the welcomes! I just need to stop finding excuses to drive otherwise I didn't need to search so hard for such a low mileage one!
  15. Thought I should post a proper induction now that I have found a 350 and will be sticking around! I'm loving the 350 so far, what a car they are for the money!! It could have been double the price and I still would have thought it was cheap! I already stuck up a few pics but have given it a good polish and wax since. (Although I now know why people say a black car is a bad idea, it's dirty already!) Paintwork is pretty flawless though and full of extras as it was a demonstrator! - some reflection shots
  16. After spending a while searching for my Z, in my opinion this looks pretty cheap for the mileage! The prices really seem to be all over the place and many members on here / valuation sites seem to undersell the 350 in terms of value! There seems to be big difference to what people are asking vs. what the like of Parkers/Glass' say it's worth. I picked mine up last weekend and seemed a bargain compared to what is out there (despite 'book' value being lower than I paid!) I got a 55 on 28,000 miles, FSH, 1 owner, new tyres, full tank of Vpower, lots of little extras like rear vertical tonneau thing - £8250
  17. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-G ... 563e223e2c I was actually looking at these today too! (No intention of buying!! - was looking for wipers ) Never seen carbon doors before - thought they looked quite cool! At least carbon should be a little stronger than fibreglass!
  18. oww I just bought a bluetooth adapter from Nissan today for £99!! Typical!
  19. Nearly went to see this one but the guy took too long to reply to me and I lost interest! Found a different one in the end and got it saturday! I think it is worth a look though, there was a very similar one up for £7000 in Huddersfield too which was still for sale last time I looked! Hope you find one anyway, had a stressful time finding the right one but worth it in the end.

    GT / Non Gt!?

    I realised after I took the photos that it wasn't the best backdrop!! I don't know why I hadn't considered black before, guess I just didn't see any for sale! Yes aerial and bluetooth module are on my list! Apart from that I will *try* not to touch it!!

    GT / Non Gt!?

    Some pics from the services on the way home! Want to give it a good clean / polish / wax before more pics! (Not that it's dirty!! )

    GT / Non Gt!?

    I'm so glad I didn't settle on one after being disappointed, today I went to see (and then picked up!) a black 55 reg with 28,000 miles, FSH, 1 owner, Rays, Sat Nav (which is pretty naff to be honest!! Although no harm in having it!) nearly new Bridgestone Potenza's and in as good as perfect condition! I'm so happy with it! Thanks for all the quick replies and help, I will be sticking around now and hope to get along to some meets etc

    GT / Non Gt!?

    I'm sure they have jumped up a bit recently from when I first 'Toyed' with the idea of a 350! Or there just isn't much available at the moment... I saw a second one this afternoon, pretty much my ideal one - Gunmetal, Alezan leather, on 22,000 miles. However they have it up for £10K - WAY to much for a 54 plate in my opinion even considering the mileage. I offered £8.5 but they weren't interested (garage)

    GT / Non Gt!?

    :-( absolutely gutted, why can't sellers be honest. He assured me on the phone it was "absolutely immaculate" and "mint" (his words without being prompted) I arrive today after £25 or so of petrol to find rust spots from stone chips on the front wing / completely curbed alloys / couple of small dings near the spoiler / scratch marks on door cards / low tread on tyres ....and he wouldn't budge on the price at all (not that I would have had it - unless there was a serious reduction of the screen price of £9K!!) So now I'm still Z-less! If anyone sees anything interesting let me know! (I want a pre face lift, as low mileage as possible, GT, ideally the grey / blue colour)

    Yes I found out about the Rays being an option from here. http://www.liverpoolmotors.co.uk/used-n ... ide-347381 This is the one I'm seeing tomorrow, it's great mileage. Do you think they will budge on price (Should they!?)
