I thought I did well with 316 with Esure. Who is everyone with?
-
No I paid someone to do it! took him about 4 hours or so, thats including the interior!
-
Seriously? Theres me panicking thinking I better fill up! Had a load of tesco vouchers so wanted to brim it and was gutted at it stopping at 58 litres! Does a fuel light come on at any point? If so how many litres will be left when this happens?
-
So the manual tells me I have a 80 litre tank being as its a UK car. So I decided to fill up when the gauge showed just about 1/8th of a tank and 48 miles to empty. I struggled to get 60 litres in? Is this normal? Filled up and says 389 miles to empty which i am thinking is about right.

Hi Guys, the Zed has had a 3 stage machine polish and then a wax. First picture is the before shot! What do you think?
-
Few pics, as you can see the paint is flat and dry. This is soon to be sorted! And one for Ekona:
-
Thanks pal, I did indeed receive excellent advice!!! I thought 8150 was a good price to? With regards to the exhaust, I think as standard they sound awesome, does it really get much better?! Im with Esure so there not to mod friendly from memory though
-
Seen MPSS for 169 at camskill, I dont think thats a bad price?
-
Also guys im in Sandbach
-
I did indeed! We regards to the VUS maybe that's why my tyre guy cant find them listed at the warehouse! Do keep hearing good reviews about the Michelin arn't theys scary in price though. Forgot to check fronts but sure there bridge stone 50a what are you thoughts on these? Also what about the goodyear? are toyos a waste of time on the zed?
-
I think I was quoted 240 a side to replace the CV joints? Excuse my ignorance is this not the same thing? I will check tyres in a second, they looked pretty new to me though! Thanks for all the help!

Hi guys, As you might of seen im new on here and recently got me a 350z, I spent a long time looking, and viewed a few before settling on this one. Just wanted to know if I did ok. I followed the guides so had a rough idea what to check for. My Z Good points: Its a Z and makes my b*llocks tingle when I start it! 56 plate 07 in gunmetal gray coupe. (296HP version) Full GT spec including sat nav. 48k on the clock, taxed until end of the year same with the mot and next service due April 2014. Belts done two months a go, again at Nissan. Full Nissan stamped history, 7 stamps I think. Every single receipt from new, including original bill of sale and his receipt for 22kish! Bought it off a doctor who has had this from ten months old making me her third keeper. Everything works, ice cold aircon included! Not so Good but bought regardless as to me the history of the car was immense and the few niggling faults can be cured! Paint work is dry/flat id say but I have a friend who will professionally valet this and get it like glass: Booked in next weds woop woop! Wheels, every one has curb rash but in good shape apart from that. Full refurb in a few weeks will sort this. Been quoted 286. Occasional driveshaft click, doesn't always do it and cant work out if its both sides or not. Is it something that needs fixing right away? Im talking to Zman alex about his replacement parts to rectify this. Again occasional rattle when I switch it off doesn't always do it. Alex said its probably flywheel but can be left for the time being. Couple of the drivers switches dont illuminate and the drivers vent is broken. Again Alex is sorting this hopefully today! Needs two new rear tyres. Needing advice on these as im lost! It has bridgestones on the fron and VUS on the back, feels very planted with these on. I usually buy toyos but heard good things about the goodyears also. Opions please? And the price for this I talked him down to £8150 So let me have it. Did the boy do good?

Hi guys! I'm Matt, I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 dark grey 350z ! I absolutely love it! I'm the third owner, the previous owner had it since it was ten months old, its got full stamped Nissan history and every receipt since it was brand new. She's got 48k on it and drives perfectly. It does seem to have the clicking drive shafts but only occasionally? Can I just drive it for the time being or is it something I should check out? The car is fully loaded with sat nav, heated leather cruise control, climate control, parking sensors and Bluetooth. Power steering fluid is on the minimum, what do people use? What a car, I'm blown away at just how incredible it is. I'm also after a few interior bits, where's the best place? Cheers guys. I'm in sandbach, Cheshire. Anyone local?

Thus is registered as a 313 yet it has the hazard light in front of the gear stick? http://www.readcarco.co.uk/used-cars/nissan-350-z-3-5-v6-313-gt-3dr-read-201321515085759

Thanks for all the info guys! this is great! My dilemma is do I buy a 300 or go for the 313. Ive heard the 313 is the better engine as the 300 can burn oil? I have a focus ST and about to close a deal for ten grand, i was thinking ill add another 2 to 3 k on this. Got to be GT spec with either black or white leather, cant decide on the tan. Oh and should I be put off mileage? Was thinking 30-45k max, but seen some at 59k on a 313 58 plate for 11 grand which seems a bargain!
-
Would you say this is over priced? http://www.smithsnissan.co.uk/used-vehicle/907722/nissan-350z-3-5-v6-gt-pack/#!valueVehicle
-
Yeah, lift the bonnet and the 313 has twin intakes, also dipstick is at the front of the engine. Pete Thanks so much, this will make life easier!

Hi, Im in Sandbach Cheshire! -
Any way to tell the 313 apart from the bulge? does it say it on the V5 as ive seen another 58 sold as a 300 but assumed all late models were 313
-
this is the car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-Nissan-350Z-3-5-V6-313-GT-3dr-Petrol-Black-Manual-/261233629137?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cd2bcd7d1
-
Ahhh so the wheels mark it as an Irish car? The UK had rays?
-
Looking at purchasing a 313 GT. My question is did they change the wheels in 09 as all cars before this seem to have rays but on the 09 registered cars they have a different wheel?

I couldn't get a proper feel for the car as it was such a short test run, the engine felt so smooth, might miss the surge of power my focus gives but the noise should make up for it! -
Hey guys I'm Matt. Currently drive a 2008 focus ST3 running full stage one mods around 280/290hp and 300+ ft pounds of torque. I'm interested in having a change and a 350 z really ticks the box! I test drove the above car yesterday and loved it, it had this forums sticker on it and wondered who's it was. It's a silver 58 plate GT fully loaded with sat nav, would of done the deal if they hasn't offered me 8.5k for mine!! Anyone else had a focus and made the swap? When I started the car it sounded immense, very aggressive with a lovely burble, is this normal? Looked like a standard exhaust to me! Thanks Matt
