The rev counter should always be in the middle on a sports car.

Welcome aboard! As for your questions... 1) Am I silly buying brand new (I do like the newer spec, but is it really worth a premium)? It will always save a bob or two to buy nearly new but the engine in the MY07 is apparently worth the effort. Also if you're spending that sort of money I can understand you wanting precisely your chosen spec. 2) How much will decent wheels cost like the ones I mention with tyres This will depend whether you're happy to import from the States and take advantage of the excellent exchange rate. I would recommend following the link from the front page to Z1 so you can get an idea what you want and then PM Adam for a price. Adam's a top guy and you should have no concerns about going the import route. If feel happier buying from the UK and are prepared to pay a little try JDM Performance who are another of our traders. 3) Has anyone ever purchased brand new with a discount thrown in, or any free things thrown in eg sat nav, i.e is it worth haggling? When I bought mine all I managed was mats and a tank of fuel (over 2 years ago). I doubt you'd get as much as sat nav but can't hurt to try. 4) should i bother to get the paint gaurd etc, or not bother, and just live with the prospct of the odd respray every now and again? The paint on these cars is very poor and liable to stone chipping. Many swear by Paintshield and I would do it if I bought new again. If you are looking you can see the edges of the film but most wouldn't notice. 5) I notice that each year the spec seems to change slightly. Is there anyway of knowing when such specs change, as I would hate to buy a 2007 model, only to find out a 2008 model may have some great new bits which I should have waited for? Who knows with Nissan? I don't think the MY06 owners were too chuffed to finjd their cars obsolete after 12 months! Don't worry about the dealers. They're used to selling Micra's and really don't have the customer service skills to flog £30k cars! HTH

how the heck did you manage that Coasted down a mountain????

You want to knock the cheese before bedtime on the head, mate!

Good advice here. Do a search for Andy's thread where he fitted his doors. Will give you a good insight. Good luck!

Welcome aboard, Jeny!

Moved.

I hate my inability to keep it clean.

Done,pal! Probably worth noting that some of those pages aren't work safe.

Stunning Andy!!! Particularly love the seats. If the brackets were readily available I reckon there'd be a few more with those.

Have a look at this Linda. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86

Congratulations on the success of the company and the name change.

Problem may be your end Mike.

Mike, this must be a technical issue that I'll refer to Chesterfield. Only Beavis and I have been on since yesterday evening and I haven't deleted any photos and I doubt Beavis has. Will get back to you as soon as we can.

Hi Tilly. Welcome to the site! I can't really disagree with what the others have said here. Personally, at that price I would be wantin g plenty of warranty remaining even if there are more miles but as someone said, if you've fallen in love with this one you may be prepared to pay the extra. Have a look in our For Sale section and take a look on Pistonheads. If anything else takes your fancy post it up and we'll all rattle on as if we know something about it. I also delayed/procrastinated for 18 months before taking the plunge and deeply regret it now, so don't waste any more time - you won't regret it! PS Moved to Intros.

The possiblilty of hydrolock would rule out CAI for me.

Wrong Stevie? Stevie040?

Good man. Glad its sorted!

No way Teardrop 996's looked like shitey boxsters, the 997 returns the Porsche to the classic shape of 993's & before IMHO The new Boxster has the same headlights though....doh..... No they haven't.

Locked at request of OP.

Hate to say it but I think the Porsche would take this. The driver won't have as much fun, it won't look or sound as good but I think for a pure lap time it would shade it. Now in a drifting competition.......

Also the best looking zorst out there IMHO.

That's the history sorted. If anyone wants to question Pyro further no doubt he will be happy to deal by PM. He's been upfront about the new engine and the price looks very sweet so lets not clutter his for sale thread further. Thanks.

Good point!

Er, can we stop trying to chat Nixy up (how you doin'? ) and not spam Ming the Enforcer's thread, please!
