Love this, you've given me some awesome ideas!

Thanks guys! So far I'm after those headlight 'eyelids' for a more angry look (not for 50 quid though!) and I do like the screen + satnav at the top so got a 2012/2013 disk off ebay (got a 2006 one in atm ).

So... I bought it. @*!# it's fast! I ride a 600RR and this is a lot harder to control, especially in first gear.

 

Really?!?!

Either theres something seriously wrong with the geometry or you've never driven a car before.

I can't believe a 350Z is a lot harder to control than a 600RR (unless youre driving on ice maybe?)

I'll put it down to excited enthusiasm, I'm always over the moon when I get a new car :-)

Congrats on the purchase, looking forward to the pics

On the RR I can set off flat out, full throttle, and only have to back off a tiny bit when the wheel starts coming up about 40. Also don't have to shift until 75 . In the Z I find that if I put my foot down in first, second or even third that the back can slide out a bit (annoying, actually!). Good tyres on them, conties with plenty of tread left on.

So I did pick up the car... so far, LOVING IT! Here's a few pics...

And here's a pic of the bike... although I've only had it for 6 months I'm thinking of trading it in for an R6 with a thousand miles or so on it (prefer the look of the R6 tbh)...

How did your install go as I'm looking at getting the exact same unit?

If I buy those wires etc, and buy the unit from Halfords, reckon they'd fit it alright?

Paid :-)

So... I bought it. @*!# it's fast! I ride a 600RR and this is a lot harder to control, especially in first gear. Loving it so far! Pics incoming...

Iv got one!

Do you still have it? How much are you wanting for it? :-)

Hey all, been browsing the forums for the past week or so as I've been considering the purchase of a 350z from a dealership in Portsmouth. I'm going to go view it (and possibly buy it) tomorrow. I negotiated almost 1k off the car from £12,975 to 12k. It's a 2009 with GT pack, 45k miles (so orange heated seats etc) in really good condition (apparently). Looks awesome!

There are a few questions I have if some of you would be kind enough to answer.

I read that the clutch can go from 40k~ish and as this car is at 45k it might need to be done within the next 10k miles. I haven't driven a car with a knackered clutch before, what should I be on the lookout for? Also, apparently the flywheel needs doing too? Approx £1k?

I saw http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/50807-reversing-camera-fitted/ on fitting a reverse camera. What is the stereo needed for this? Expensive?

I looked at this site: http://nissan350zbodykit.com/ for bodykits and really, the only one I like the look of is the V2 kit without going overboard, but I can't find it anywhere to buy online. If I've read correctly, the kit comprises of: front bumper, side skirts and the rear spoiler. Is that pretty much it? How many hours fitting?

Also, I have read buyers guides and the guide on here for buying a 350z, but this is a 2009. Is there anything I should be on the lookout specifically with this year's model?

Not sure I can think of anything else, anyway... Hi guys! Looking forward to posting more with pics etc if I buy.
