If you're still after one swiftyy my old one is also on eBay.

Selling cos I bought one of them 350Z things!

Enjoy, it's a fantastic country that I've been lucky enough to visit a few times courtesy of my employer.

Tokyo and Yokohama are fascinating places as is the countryside towards Hakone and into the mountains around Mt Fuji, I've still never made it to the famous Hakone turnpike road though... Next time!

Fun fact, if you have an international driving licence and visit the Nissan HQ in Yokohama you can test drive loads of cars including the GT-R.

Yep almost certainly air con condensation. Nothing to worry about there.

I've got some HDR pics of my completely standard DE engine bay like you're after, if you pm your email address I'll send them over.

Files are too big to post on here.

Interesting that others get let out of junctions, there must just be a bunch of miserable sods living near me then!

So I've had the 350Z a few weeks now and I'm slowly getting used to the car and the differences between a lightweight mx5 and a big heavy girl with lots of grunt.

What's fascinating is the reactions I get driving it most notably:-

-Nobody will let me out of a junction now. (Always used to in mx5)

-Nobody says thanks when I let them out of a junction/past a line of parked cars. (Always used to in mx5)

-People turn and look at the car (not so much in mx5)

-Some kids shouted 'awesome car' at me earlier, so as I was in 1st gear I said thanks in a suitable fashion... (That definitely never happened in the mx5)

Does anyone else get funny reactions when driving the zed?

I can only assume the junction and thanks things are because people who don't know cars think I'm a flashy bastard in an expensive sports car without realising it cost me less than 1/3 the cost of their 1.4 Focus/Astra/yawnbox.

Of course kids saying it's awesome is clearly just because the zed is an awesome car!

Yep, essentially a headlamp lens is a polycarbonate with a hardcoat on the top to protect it from yellowing/protect against stone chips.

If you polish you need to treat with a hardcoat again in order to protect the polycarbonate underneath otherwise it'll just keep happening as said above.

Gunmetal for me, but I like the blue too.

The Orange seats really set the grey off.. I think!

Good news! Name added to the list.

Thanks guys, she's done 127k miles but the previous owner was a motorway commuting lady who treated her pretty well it seems, we did get lucky with the colour too!

The only real issue with the car was a rear wheel bearing needed to be changed just after buying.

Don't they sound fantastic at full chat even on standard pipes?!

Hi guys, I've just bought a '04 350Z in gunmetal with GT pack to replace my old MX5.

We picked it up at the weekend and apart from the shock of how thirsty it is (perhaps shouldn't have been too surprised that a 3.5 V6 has a thirst!) both the wife and I love it already.

I work in vehicle development for an OEM and this car is the first I've ever bought that has received universal approval from friends, family and colleagues so it must be good!

Hi flyboy are there any extras being produced? I'd like one of these too if there are any available.

Thanks.
