Collecting it from the garage towards the end of the week and will get some pics up Yes definitely going Fi, eventually. I got so fed up of always working on my Rx7 i just want something i can drive for now with perhaps light fetteling, nothing that would keep it off the road for any length of time. But i did have a stroke of luck last week, i caught up with a buddy who is working in the States and he said he is no problem with bringing me back a supercharger kit

Soon as i get it home and recover from man flu photos will be up and for sale

Its a secret for now buddy (i hope your lips are sealed) but will be different for sure

Thanks for the assistance, will be in touch and if you know anyone who wants some Volk Racing Sf Winnings 19" let me know and if anyone knows what spoiler it is, i would be curious

I have spoken with Alex and he has put my straight and a deal was done with this in mind Thanks

Thanks buddy, need to hear some first, but def wanting a true dual system that is track friendly.

Will do. It already has a pop charger, Apex lowering springs, will need to investigate further when i get it home. List so far: Decent exhuast Fit my Work Rezax 11's from my Rx7 (these will surely cuase some debate when you guys see the colour of them) Some interior mods: Double Din head unit, speaker and sub upgrade, retro fit cruise control

Few niggles to sort but the price reflected that, and some parts to sell straight up (wheels and spoiler) as well made it even more attractive Cant wait

Well after a search i found a 350z The project starts here.

HI guys. I went to look at a Zed today and was very pleased apart from a juddering when pulling away at low revs. Once rolling its fine, it also juddered whilst coming off the throttle at very low speed, whilst approaching a speed hump. Apart from that the gearbox seemed very smooth and not notchy. I have done a search and see clutch, flywheel mentioned with a few people being affected, i can factor in a clutch and flywheel to my offer but thought i should ask, are there any other possibilities of the cause that could bite me in the behind? Thanks

Whilst ever they turn you a profit Which is absolutely fine by the way, but, enthusiast you are not and that is what you are up against on here, i cant really include myself as i have not been here long enough or even own a Zed, "yet". If someone buys a Zed from you with tyres not to manufacturers sizes, notice i didnt say wrong size as i am with Docwra, 5mm will affect nothing more than speedo reading imho, they are the perfect punter for you. However an enthusiast will pick this up and you have to expect a question surrounding it especially on the 350z forum, there is probably a lot of other things an enthusiast will notice too, its not right or wrong, its just some will be more precise with what they expect, arguing pros or cons will not get you anywhere, so its pointless discussing whether you think its right or wrong, dangerous or not, merely because its not to oem spec that raises their suspicions as to why. But back to my first comment, you will be long gone and turning a profit on whatever other car you deem popular when most of the owners will still be here, "loving" their Zeds.

Apologies i wasnt aware of that. Still, £300 is neither here nor there when your presented with a cash buyer imho. Good luck with a find, i am on the hunt too

Sorry yes, if i were to get one in the "wrong" colour it would be sprayed something different to standard Hopefully supercharged and suspension upgrades, but no wild bodykits etc., more of a sleeper, less is more and all that

Sorry KitKat, i have a different view to most of the above it seems and some key words in your op: "pondering about for a few weeks" So presumably he hasnt had any other offers in those few weeks and to turn a sale down for the sake of £300 in this market is insanity imho, it doesnt really matter what the perceived value is its all down to what someone wants to pay or is willing to pay. I have searched every day for two/three weeks (autotrader, pistonheads, ebay, gumtree etc etc), i watch adds come up for sale and sit there, ebay adds keep getting relisted, gumtree adds bumped, pistonheads with price reductions. I will echo though if it doesnt feel right its not for you but i would almost bet the guy will be on the phone in another few weeks accepting your offer.

Its never bothered me in the past, but i have never had anything as new and nice as a Zed before I have had mine painted twice. Some people like it now, some like it before, some dont like either. Its your car so do what you want and what you think will look good. search for cars in google painted in the colour you want and make a decision. There will always be people on here which wont like whatever you do and will not sugar coat their opions but you just have to ignore them and enjoy your car. I am not a stranger to the non sugar coated opinions on forums, lol. I have seen a handful of painted/vinyl wrapped in my search but not many, which led me to the question on opinions from z owners, is it seen as sacrilege or met with approval. I guess colour will also have a bearing. The actual factory colours are all pretty good, coming from rx7's i am positively spoiled, lol, hence why lots of people appreciate a newer nicer colour on rx7's. Will have to see what colour i end up with, hopefully it will be my colour of choice (silverstone grey) as i would prefer to put the money towards the eventual fi route, unless of course its cheap enough to justify the change Thanks all

I am glad you asked this question as i am in the market for a Zed too and seen these guys have a fair few and constantly changing stock. Also realised a lot where imports, some fresh imports which is a bit bizarre with the jdm import market being pretty flat due to the shocking exchange rate, so suspicions were aroused. I have also noticed cars selling cheap on ebay and then appearing as trade adds for a mark up, not sure this is a new thing, but guess dealers are scouring ebay/gumtree/pistonheads etc too Pleased to have a had a heads up on these chaps though, thanks

Ah like the Clio V6 The cars i have sprayed are not in the 350z league though, they are older and where a colour change is accepted, sometimes almost preferred. I am asking what are owners opinions of resprayed 350z's?

Yes i know buddy, my last 3 rx7's were resprayed, the guy who does my paintwork is top notch, one of them was magazine featured so hopefully that speaks volumes for his abilities. I am really interested in one, maybe 2 of the original colours which is limiting my buying options and it seems some colours are a fair bit cheaper. Its just out of curiosity as to what z owners think

Out of curiosity ladies and gents, what are peoples opinions on the above subject? I am not suggesting anything like a flip or candy, but a different colour to the original options?

I thought the modified bit was a given seeing as a twin turbo zed is also modified

And its back: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-NISSAN-350Z-SILVER-/251234466680?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a7ebdbb78 and i love the first line: RE-LISTING AGAIN DUE TO TIMEWASTERS/DREAMERS AND FAKE ACCOUNTS!!! Does he mean, my mates/brother/sister etc bidding it up didnt result in a sale, lol. I cant believe they actually think people believe lines like this, lol

Was this one off Pistonheads, seemed lovely if it was

Its not often as simple as that is it, there are often popular choices for good reason, support, parts etc doesnt always mean a not so popular choice is bad and seeing as there was no real mention of any faults i thought i would ask, seems to have rubbed a few up the wrong way so will leave it there.
