Welcome Nope, that's an 05 reg so its in the cheaper road tax band . You do have the 276 BHP model but seeing as the later 298 and 309 BHP versions are 75kg heavier then the difference is quite small really. Pete I wish it was Pete, but the reg is NC06, and I've checked the tax disc and the 6 months cost something like £260+

Previous owner was a woman. Thats why one of the wheels is kerbed as well probably lol. Noted on the autosol. The clicking is something I'll probably address eventually, doesn't bother me too much at the mo. At least it looks like these cars are more robust than my last car, a Clio 172 which cost me over £1500 in various repairs in just 3 months. With a car a special as the Z I wouldn't have minded so much but the Clio was supposed to be a cheap runaround. Not cheap at all really.

Took a pic of the exhaust, doesn't look anything special to me, but then I wouldn't really know. Also had scary moment today where I thought the soft top wasn't working, but its because I didn't have the foot on the brake. Finally I can hear a clicking noise coming from the back, common problem?

I can't say out really, I live North of the tyne now but I escaped from the South of the Tyne

One question I do have, how does the Z normally fair for rust (mine is a UK model), the last few Jap cars I've had (MR2T, MX5, PGT etc) have all had rusty bits. Is it worth getting it undersealed before the winter?

Thanks again for the warm welcome. @Ewan - I work in South Shields, but I live on the right side of the River Tyne lol.

Thanks fellas, quick set of replies, must be quite a busy forum then! I will do, its been raining ever since I picked it up last night, and this morning. Typical!

Hi all, Just signing up as I've just bought myself a 2006 350Z roadster GT. I live around Newcastle area. Don't know much about the car as yet, except that I love the noise, looks, handling and power. Mine has an Injen induction kit and some kind of aftermarket exhaust allegedly, and the wheels are huge, dreading having to buy new tyres! Although I possibly should have done my homework better as I think I ended up with both a lower power version and am going to get shafted for road tax! Anyway some pics... http://s959.photobucket.com/albums/ae77 ... ingdriver/ Cheers, Paul
