zed still going strong 220.000 miles and counting, daily driver by choice, always fun to drive, 

she did decide to cause a couple of problems tho so i had to replace 

water pump

radiator and fans

fitted my purple rockercovers and new gaskets 

full service including gearbox and diff

both auxiliary belts

thermostat

phew think that's about it for now 

I could have easily replaced the zed after she broke but I like the zed shes been with me for a very long time and is going no where, 

she's now back on the road and eating up those miles, and im still smiling so its deffiently worth it, 

couple of photo's of the zed now!

more updates to come soon. 

Part Now Found!! 

Thank you all for the help!!

For what I can see in the picture and if it is essential for the car to be used,    you might consider a few bits of plumbers copper pipe and/ or compression joints,  or a compression T whilst you find the correct part.

 

simple and quick to make, costs only pennies.

 

Thank you for the reply buddy!

that's really good advice I should hopefully have the new part in a few days but thanks for the alternative option it's very appreciated!

Part is for a 2005 350z GT roadster VQ35DE

Any help would be very appreciated

From my research, any child seat that uses the seat belt to secure it on the seat will work. However, there isn't a switch in the zed that you can switch the airbag off hence making it illegal. You can remove the fuse or add a on/off switch to the airbag system, however you'll need to declare this to your insurance and I suspect they are very unlikely to accept this.

 

And for all those reason above, I'm selling my zed to get a 4-door car =(

Oh that sucks!! I have a family car but he keeps wanting to go in the zed :/ 

I'm not sure on the airbag situation it will deffiently need to be disabled for him tho...   

Thanks for the reply its very apprecaited! 

Sorry to revive a old thread but my little boy just turned 3 and has discovered my zed roadster hideing in the garage and wont stop talking about it.. he goes car loud vroom vroom bamg bamg vroom vroom .. and now he really wants to go in it for a drive.. where can i find a child seat to fit the car and anyone know how you turn off the airbag??   Any help wpuld be very appreciated 

Many thanks

How many times a year do you service your z ? 

I service the zed twice a year its driven quite often, Daily driver by choice, i do have another car but i choose to use the 350z! 

i bought it when it was 2 years old to drive and enjoy and boy has it been a car to enjoy, 

 I dont care about resale value as i will quite simply just repalce anything that breaks! 

 I  was looking to upgrade to a 370z but i just like the looks of the 350z,

i will more then likely buy a coupe at some point, 

roadsters are fun but in winter a coupe would be handy, 

As for age and milliage dosn't matter aslong as the cars been looked after, 

No expense has been spared on this car and i will continue to enjoy the car for many many more years! 

Mines all sorted no expense spared! Roughly 3k on parts this year! Most were upgrades tho!  Extremely happy with it. 

Runs like a dream, im sure it will go on for many many more miles! Lets try get to the moon 238,900 miles 

I also have a jaguar s type R 4.2 v8 supercharged beast just over 60.000 miles 4 years of ownership only had to replace the plastic pullys for metal ones and brake bads and electronic handbrake got stuck on.

Looking to buy jaguar xfr after xmas! 

219.000 miles still going strong (touch wood) 

Ok, this has got to go, £100 + cost of insured delivery.

Hi Im Looking for 2005 wv2 gunmetal grey boot lid for my 350z roadster.

(Ideally wv2 colour)

A stone has hit mine on the morotway dented and cracked the paint work if any one has one please get in touch.

Many thanks

Dan

should fit the roadster i believe the rear where you would fit the spoiler are the same

this won't fit a roadster!

They mount differently sadly 🙊
210k?! Sweet baby jebus. One sweet looking roadster, and I usually abhor them!

Thanks buddy I've had the car quite a while now almost on 212,000 miles and will go up every day. It's great fun over the years. I would happily sell it but I guess with that many miles on it wouldnt be worth much, so just get used along side the other cars at the moment.

Still going strong and in daily use 210,832 miles

 

 

 

Hey buddy i just kept it well serviced I do alot of miles!

 

Just had new disc and pads all round

And replaced all the bushes on the car aswell

 

also new adjustable camber arms toe arms and lock out kit and also adjusable drop links all round and new tires all round

 

Also had new twin clutch and lightened flywheel uprated servo and master cylinder aswell

 

Basicly a brand new car under the shell also have a spare engine just in case the worse happens (touch wood so far so good)

 

Also had metal coolant pipes leak so was replaced

 

And new afm rest is general upkeep etc

 

Starts first time every time

 

What ever the car needs it's gets

 

If it breaks I get uprated parts if there available.

 

 

 

 

repair jobs worth noting at that mileage?

Thanks buddy

Was wondering if there were any higher millage ones on the forum or know of any in the UK??

Unlike some I like to drive and enjoy my cars more miles the better

Still going strong 10 years of owner ship now and 210,832 miles!
