Lovely zed, black and white combo really compliments the car, love the brakes good to see a standard bodied zed looking so good, jealous of the workshop too!

8th July is a possibility if old Toyotas are allowed

Don't see why not! Be good to get a good few of us ideally, as long as it's jap it'll be allowed

Will take Payco up on his recommendation of the Gardeners Arms in Ardingly if nobody else has any other suggestions? 7/8th July anyone?

Looking at tints too, how much did you get the tints for? I'm local too

Hi buddy, Solar Screen in burgess hill did this for £80.

Thats the rear and the small side windows. Nice blokes and obviously take pride in what they do!!

Oh cool not bad at all! I'm Crowborough so about half an hour ish, always about in Crawley which is close

Ahhh cool...may arrange a meet up at a local pub then at some point! Yeah very good price. And not far to come either!

Trying to at the moment on the south east section on the forum! Be good to get at least 3 or 4 of us aha

Well the Burgess Hill area is roughly in the centre of these towns, although i dont know any good pubs with a fair size carpark around there, maybe someone can help, I'll ask zippypooz, he lives around that way.

 

In fact, how about a 2 pub meet? Meet up at one, then after a while, all convoy to the second?

Sounds like a plan to me, I'm from crowborough, but have to go to Crawley every Thursday and don't mind the drive anyway

Since ripping the carbon fibre nismo lip off my z, I've been constantly asking myself if it was the right thing to do

Has anyone had any bits from a company called Grams Styling? I'm looking at the carbon mines style lip as it doesn't look like it is as low as a nismo one, which I cracked... would like to hear some thoughts and opinions

Bought 2 springs a few months ago and only fitted one, So have one spare if anyone wants for offers PM me if I can help

Sold my Zed in 2010 and went from a DB9 to a 350 CLK to a diesel XJL to a 911 ... should have gone straight to a 911 ... best car I ever had

 

What 911? Just out of curiosity as I love a good porscher, wouldn't mind a 997 turbo

 

997.2 S Cab

 

Awesome love the colour looks like a carbon black sort of colour? Still trying to convince Dad to get one but he won't part with the BMWs and wouldn't know what one to get rid of

I hope I'm still a few years away from having little ones myself so will try to enjoy the smaller cars a bit more while I can! when I couldn't drive my Dad always had 3 series BMWs as "family" cars which I guess you can still have fun in whilst still being practical and safe

I won't be going down the SUV route I don't care what the missus says!

I could still see myself driving a Z4M as I have driven my dad's a few times and it's a bit more "performance focused" than my Z...

 

 

Dude, please! The 350Z is a purpose built NA Japanese GT drift machine with a certain intangible exoticness about it, plus it's the best sounding 6cyl ever made probably, the Z4M is a fashion accessory. Put the cost difference (about 10 grand, no?) into forced induction for the Z, then tellme which is the more exciting car.

 

Someone's gotta tell it like it is! Speed is just a number kids.

 

By the way, that's not bias you're hearing there, the Z might be my 40th car in my life (lost count), my fave brand is Honda and my last car was an AWD e92 335 with 400hp.

Not 100% sure I agree with the fashion accessory on the older M cars, but honestly the responsiveness and the way it revs with the extra 50 odd BHP... it has the edge on the 350z for sure. The Z4M and later Z3M share the same engine as the E46 M3 as you may know and is obviously lighter, it feels special especially as there's not many of them around! These BMWs are going to just go up and up in value now too! I love my z especially for the money and if I had the spare money kicking about I would go down the route of a FI z as it really is (in my opinion) best bang for buck! Get more looks in my Z than my dad does in his BMWs but maybe because they don't expect to see a "kid" driving a Jap sports car

335i may be on my list but didn't like the "slushbox" in the earlier cars, they were s***

Don't often see many zeds in the area, nice to see a couple on the same sunny day

I sold my 350Z in 2014 and bought a M63 M6, 5.0L V10 and ultimate luxury. I sold it a year later and bought another 350Z

 

The 350 is an excellent car and if looked after and set up properly are hard to beat. There are many many faster cars, but none of them have the character or make you feel as satisfied as the 350. Except maybe a Lotus.

Wow surprising you came back to z ownership after a 500bhp v10 I could still see myself driving a Z4M as I have driven my dad's a few times and it's a bit more "performance focused" than my Z...

Now you said lotus I wouldn't mind a nice exige as a weekend toy

It's not been long since I first started driving my Z but I'm always thinking about what to get next! My dad's a bit of a BMW collector (I know ze Germanz!) and I would love to be able to "permanently borrow" one, in particular the Z4M coupè.

What have other people moved on to from the zeds and can you summarise ownership in comparison to a 350z?

Thanks!

Just as a little review... Got some Goodyear Eagle F1s on the zed now and I made the right decision! So much quieter now and even a better ride along with the obvious grip/handling improvement would recommend

Anyone got a resonated cobra cat back with decats? Looking at getting some decats but want to make the right decision! Post some vids pleaseeee

Get it up on some axle stands when you have a free morning and give the fix a go! You'll be surprised how easy it is and you don't need many tools, took me about 2 hours to do both sides with a few cuppas in between too! A month gone by and still click free

Awesome find, hope you look after it well! As I'm sure it's the same with most of us here, you get that feeling when something is quite special... maybe it's jealousy lol *now awaiting subtle mod build*

Gearbox and Diff fluid replaced and now lovely smooth changes even from cold!

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 3s all round now too, much better ride, quieter and gripper than the old Champiro things!

Coming up to 5k miles since owning the Zed and love it, still look back everywhere and every time I park it.

Just need an extra bit more grunt so might treat her to some decats soon as well as a oil/filter change

Opinions and suggestions on what next please! In need of some inspiration!

Pub meet sounds good to me! Anyone got any ideas specifically for a good place to meet as im open to suggestions and wouldn't know where to suggest!

Places as the title and anywhere inbetween are very good for me

Definitely up for that meet in August but wouldn't mind having a bit of a gathering in July too just to get meet a few of you and see some more zeds!

Decats because it's Christmas in December and you deserve a treat

I agree!!

More than welcome to do your own thing but I will be arranging our next South East meet at the normal haunt in August.

Oh okay well I'm new to the Zed scene, more than happy to do that as well as something else this month or July. Do you have anymore info on it?
