Not from southport, picked it up from London.

Thanks for the welcome notes... It's a UK model not a JDM. Reference the comment about Bluetooth, that's interesting because it is enabled... There is a little black (almost old Nokia flip mobile phone like) box in the compartment where your left elbow would be if you were resting it... Good shout on the oil checking... Didn't do that (oops) - although am going to have the filter and oil change done in two weeks anyway.

Hello! Just bought my first 350Z. Black, well kept and an absolute bargain. I noticed it made a beep as the engine started... Is this normal? If not then any ideas why? Its got full service history but could be oil and filter change perhaps? I'm sure there'll be more in the future but for now this is the beeping question! Thanks in advance!

Welcome! That was quick! You go for a JDM in the end?

This all very useful stuff guys. Thanks! Not keen on the automatics (preference) and I read somewhere auto Zs have issues with pre 05 models. I was hoping for one with a decent service history and low mileage (not fussed about age). The comments about breaks need upgrading on JDMs have definitely made me re-think. I heard parts for JDMs are more "cost effective" than UK ones.... Is this a myth?

Hi Although I have done a fair bit of research on the differences between these (aesthetics and features), I am still not sure which one is the better option of the two. If anyone of you has also pondered over this, please can you explain your reasoning behind the inevitable choice you made. P.s. Other than trade links, I can't find a trader who specialises in stocking these cars in the UK... Any suggestions? S
