Olly350z

Haven't seen a grey 350z with a V2 in Worthing yet, I'll have to keep my eye out.

 

I quite regularly see one with a Nismo kit including spoiler tooling about.

Im around dude, bit of a lurker though haha. Used to be out alot with the Honda guys but as said I got disowned by them for not buying another rice cooker! Would be good to meet up with a fellow Z owner

So where have you been ?. Would be good to see you at the South East meet in November. See regional meets. Z looks good.

I am just South of Haywards Heath. Welcome to come up anytime.

Lurking dude! The Z doesnt get driven too much to be fair! I'll check now and see if I can make it buddy, would be good to get some Zed friends localish haha

to the forum Olly

Thanks Bud! My main reason for joining was I was told to get in touch with you, regarding a noise I have as I've been told you are the Z god! Is it possible I can PM you please

Hey guys and girls!

My names Olly and I'm from West Sussex, more specifically Worthing I picked up my 350z funnily enough just over a year ago, been meaning to get on here for a while but everyone remembers what it's like to be a noob! Been knocking around cars for a long time, practically live breath and sleep Vpower haha. First money pit was a B18R swapped Honda civic which I spent the best part of 6 years restoring. Sadly and being honest I ran out of talent one night while having a rather vigorous play with an R33... so that was the end of that chapter

So this time last year I'd literally just purchased my GT 350z. It came on a sensible 63k with full Nissan service history stamped at every interval. Did think I'd gotten a great deal but as the year has progressed it has appeared to be a bit of a lemon, throwing up all of the normal Z faults that develop with time.

Standard first ever fill up picture

SO here we are a year later, and what can I say? I honestly love the car to bits but it has been by far the most frustrating car I've ever owned, and I've thought about selling it numerous times. Its a real love-hate relationship. I've done quite a few bits to it to be fair, I'd liked to of done more but have been beaten by repair costs several times. I started with small carbon parts (I have a carbon obsession) which went like this

I then got pretty lucky and won a Y pipe back Japspeed system for £250. This in itself has been a royal pain in the backside with lots of fettling to get it to fit properly. But it sounds brilliant with a deep burble on overrun. Also recently got some sports cats second hand so looking to fit them once the 02 spacers arrive and fingers crossed it doesn't throw engine lights

Then went and rebuilt the Brembos and got new MTEC drilled and grooved disks and padds with HELL braided lines. Again fitting didn't go to plan as we ended up snapping a hard line which meant being trailered down to the shop as it sensed the low fluid and locked the diff But it now stops the planet rotating so worth it

The car then spent a week in pieces as it went down the body shop. It had fitted Nismo side skirts, Nismo rear spats and Miens front lip fitted along with reviving the headlights. I do also have a Nismo V3 spoiler but that's yet to go on as I think it'll look silly as it is

and with the refreshed headlights

and a little photo shoot with Luke

My next purchase was a slight impulse buy which I do regret some days. A Nismo V2 front bumper

And the latest addon was getting my windows tinted, by far my favorite mod so far

So I think that's me kinda up to date The car was recently used alongside my buddy James 350 for his wedding, which I'm sure some of you will of seen.

Apologies for all the pictures but as they say, they are worth a thousand words! Overall I'm happy with the 350 I just wish I could get past some of the niggling faults that are appearing. I have an extensive list of plans which im sure one day will come to plan, just annoying when you want to build another show car but life gets in the way!

Would really like to start attending some regional meets or meet people who are local, my old group disowned me when i bought her (Honda Owners ) Looking forward to hearing from you all and I apologise in advance for no doubt some of the stupid questions I will ask
