    For Sale - cherished Z plate KT55 ZZZ

    in For Sale

    Posted

    For sale as I've decided not to put this on my 370. Stand out plate for Z owners. Even gives petrol station cashiers a laugh when they think all you do is sleep :yawn:

     

    Currently on retention until 13.10.2010 with assignment fee paid. Buyer pays all other fees (e.g. £25 Nominee Change, etc.)

     

    If in any doubts checkout the DVLA website.

     

    Best offer over £149 by the end of the month secures. PM me if interested.

     

    Cheers

    Now on my 3rd ZED

    The white will be a bit of a mare to keep clean (mine goes to the local car wash 3 times a week!) but it is worth it cos it still makes me smile everytime I walk towards it!

     

    :scare: you seriously trust your 370Z to a car wash - brave man. I'm quite keen on those guys in supermarket car parks with a trolley and a bucket of 50% water / 50% grit - not!

    They definitely do grow on people, I know alot of people who have said they were not so sure about the graphics to start with but they are growing on people!

     

    Real Marmite thing the graphics - I'd leave them off. I had a TO 350 for two years and spent half the time loving (when it was clean) and half the time hating (when I had to leave it in a car park) the colour.

     

    Hang on, isn't the lid of Marmite yel.... :D

    Finally arrived!

    before sarnie says it, needs spacers :teeth:

     

    Yep, I think you are right. Doesn't even look like it has 19s sometimes. Oh, well - something else for the shopping list along with a Nismo exhaust. For some reason the spacer/no spacer issue seems to me to depend on colour with white exacerbating the problem the most.

    oooh high tech did'nt Audi/VW have something like this abour 10 years ago and with real alloy on it not just plastic! :bangin:

     

    Bit of a gimmic if you ask me just like the Start button (our 1958 Wolseley has one of those!) :lol:;)

     

    ...better than having a Micra key, though :)

    Thanks polarbear and stanski - at least it is a bit more up-to-date than the 350 offering

     

    No idea what stanski's key is from, but my 370's is totally different (and way slicker with fake aluminium bits :)

    So I wonder how do you get in if the fob battery goes flat :wacko:

     

    A pic would be nice, if someone has one :surrender:

     

    Sorry, no pic but the intelligent key (!) has a normal key hidden away inside it. If the ik battery is totally flat than apparently putting it in to the slot in the dash will still activate the ignition. I don't want to try this late at night in the middle of nowhere.

    passenger window isn't resetting properly on mine either

     

    Have you tried the reset fix in the manual? Close door, put window fully down, put fully up and continue to hold button for +3 seconds. Worked perfectly for me :)

    here's a pic of the yellow without the decals (not sure on them) ordered mine today and should have it in 3 weeks...[attachment=0]09102009113.jpg[/attachment]

     

    Decals (like the owners manual, etc) are a port of entry fitment and having seen two at Westway Nissan without them I would personally leave them off. Looks like a better colour than the Temper Orange I had. Deeper and more consistent somehow with good metal to plastic matching. Time will tell if this self-healing paint is anything more than marketing hype.

    Finally arrived!

    Whats the overall speed differential like, does it feel hugely faster in say a straight, up to 60, through twisties, etc??

     

    Still (ahem) running in, but I think the pickup is quicker and it is more eager to rev (VVEL perhaps?) It definitely feels more planted and less skittish than the 313 350, but then it has got loads more rubber and a wider track. ESP light is noticeable by its absence most of the time.

    So, after almost 3 months of waiting I finally got to pick my new 370 up on Saturday :teeth:

    Westway Nissan in Oxford were very helpful and chucked in mats, a full tank of fuel and the cost of putting my plate on retention. Overall, I'm impressed so far and it's massive step-up from the 350.

     

    Pros

    - 59 plate :)

    - faster

    - lots of new toys to distract me

    - 7-speed paddle-shift auto is good without being overly sharp or slack (ever driven a Alfa with selespeed :scare:)

    - sharper and generally more responsive

    - major interior improvement over the 350

     

    Cons

    - pax window isn't properly resetting after closing the door so back to the dealer, ho hum.

    - not sure about the multi-function readout to the left of the speedo. Looks bit tacky??

    - more of a GT than an out-and-out sports?

    - having to eventually replace those 275/35 19s on the back :blush:

    - not enough time in the country to drive it!

    - still haven't gotten around to changing my signature
