Im a freshman myself and already jealous of those rays !!!

But wait, do you know what you're doing with that amp ? 

Are you planning to solder some EEPROM's soon as well ??

 

Thanks man, 

well I’ve already soldered the new relay in place so the system works a great now. Forgive me but I have no idea what an EEPROM is 

Today the results of a quick paste wax last weekend became apparent and soldered a new relay into the Bose amp for a fully working sound system (not the tidiest or most professional looking fix but it works...)

Lovely example of a 350z you have there, paint looks lovely and shiny, makes me miss mine. Any thoughts of finishing of the nismo kit and adding the side skirts?

I’ve got to admit, I’ve not even thought about sideskirts! Will have a look into them.

 along mate, good to be one of the Famous Five. Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh sometime soon. Even after all these years, a nice clean Zed looks really special.

It really does, plus a lot of car for the money at the moment!

I'm sure you'll find us to be a great bunch ... some of us sold our Zeds and moved on to other cars, but we've mostly stayed in touch, so that tells you something about this place. There's a wealth of knowledge too about Zeds so ask away if you need anything.

Thanks, funnily enough in my close group of “car friends” at least 3 of them met through this forum and owning zeds I believe and at least 4 of the group have owned them at any one time. 5 now including myself so they must do something right?

Welcome aboard. FN2 is still on my list of cars to own, it was a toss up between one of those and the 350 I have now when I sold my R53 Mini, but clearly the 350 won. 

 

Be interesting to find out what you think between the FN2 and 350 once you’re settled in with it, although I know they’re not exactly comparable models of course. 

I really enjoyed the FN2 and it’s daily driveability. Bought it completely standard last December, modified it all through this year but there was always something missing. Never felt special enough. Although very capable B road motor when modded and had me smiling all the time keeping up with newer m235i’s etc etc not an issue. 
 

I came from the cayman S to the civic though and longed for that fast 6 cylinder coupe life again. Sadly the porsche died of borescore with average rebuild cost around the 11-12k mark i was not in a position to repair it unfortunately... 

the Porsche is hands down the best blast I have driven and owned so far, but I have a sneaky suspicion that the Z won’t be far off from what I’ve experienced so far!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Seems like this is a very active forum!

Thanks, yes been a petrol head as long as I can remember, this forum seems very active in comparison to some of the other marques I’ve been a part of recently!
