Just like to say thank you to the team at Horsham for fixing my 350Z HR wheel click for a proper reasonable 30 mins labour.  Great to come to the farm and see what was going on, nice to speak to other customers too - bit like a meet!  I emailed a few so called specialists out there who gave me no confidence they would fix it, Jez straight away quoted 1 hour for the 'usual issue', delivered in half that time - I'd have been happy paying for the hour.  These guys know their stuff, really friendly and will be back for sure.

The originals were so beautiful, you can see the quirkiness of the originals design but more in common with a Megane than the original A110.  Plus the originals are cheaper, how does that work?

See this link for a 1964 that sold for less than £40k

How beautiful is that!

Welcome to the club Andy, hope you get maximum fun from your Roadster.

What Jap guitars do you have?  I'm a bit of a luthier and have about 100 guitars, many lovely Japanese too.

I feel the need to get my Orbital out at the weekend

Interested in you saying Roadsters being cheaper, not something I've ever found.  One thing I would say, if you want to go track day racing a lot of places will say that you'll need a roll bar if you have a Roadster so you'll need to think about this.

I think general maintenance is reasonable BUT you will get hooked probably on modification and this may get expensive.

Other main point is that we do go through a fair amount of petrol but it's worth it to hear that noise.

Unless you're into your working on your cars I'd recommend spending some more money and getting a really well maintained (most are) one, it'll save you in the long run.  I think I paid top dollar for mine but it had been serviced every 3,000 miles for the last 4 years and treated to £4k of upgrades too, including that expensive clutch replacement.

Roadster for me though.  Top down, heater on

Welcome, lovely cars.  That blue paintwork is absolutely stunning, how did you get it to that stage?

I agree @veeg33 - need the centre panel the same colour.  Option 2 for me but tempted on 3 too 

BTW - What's rough cost for new wheel?

Is it me or when you look at the photo, you can't help but turning your head!  Looks lovely, I think my 350 needs one.

Hi, had it valued by 'British Car Registrations' and 'CarReg'.  Of course, both of them wanted to sell it for me and take a nice commission

New to the forum, this is the nicest 370z ever in my opinion.  Have thought about getting serious on the bodywork with my 350 HR Roadster but I'm not sure I've got the bottle 

Just following up, this was valued at £1,000 minus fees so I'm looking for offers close to £700

That is very very pretty - for me white or black are my favourite colours.  Wife currently has a black Merc C300 convertible and my daughter has a white Polo so out drive looks like a small piano keyboard 

Thanks for the message @Justthejedi

You're not the first to say it's rare although I didn't know when I bought it.  I just wanted a black open top that had been looked after, this has only done 47k miles and for last 5 years has done 3,000 a year and oil changes every year.  Touch wood, it's perfect.  Love my Z and won't be selling for a long time (if ever)  but any idea how many HR GT Roadsters were made?

I bet white was beautiful - got any pictures?

Bought this when I got my Z in the summer.  Great plate but we have name related plates on the other cars and I would prefer one of these on the Z.  Valued at £1,000 on a couple of car reg sites but I'd be happy for it to go to a forum member for less.  Cheers

I'm after a driver side window switch with one touch on both passenger and drivers window.  I think this was only available on imports.

Aw nuts, so it's a complete unit for the drivers side with one touch on drivers normal passenger?  I was reading another thread and thought you could swap them individually.  That's a shame.  Thanks anyway.

Hey Keyser,

Any chance you have the window auto switches so I can get my passenger side going up and down in 1 click (so annoying), and also do you have the trims around the switches?

BTW - did you get rid of the pull out cup holder?

Cheers,

Andy

Cool, just been watching this vid but I'm not sure I'll be after 'flat bed truck' paint 

Thanks again, I'll get hunting too.  Feels like my next project.

Did you put a clear coat on top of the satin, or would that turn them glossy?

Hey are those badges matt black?  I've seen gloss black ones on the forum but would prefer matt blacks ones, where did you get them from?

Fantastic, thanks @Jack94 I don't suppose you know where you can get the switches do you?  I have a facelift HR too.

Might take the opportunity to refurbish the trims as well, have you done this too?

Hi,

How easy is it to remove the handle, anybody seen any instructions how to do it?

Andy

How easy is this mod, really annoys me the passenger side doesn't go all the way automatically

Shame you got the wrong one, did you want HR or DE?  If HR, do you fancy selling?
