Thanks for the reply martinmac. I know a little about the P1, P2 and P3 service schedule, it seems pretty reasonable to be honest. Have to get familiar with everything on this forum and the people/garages that are essential to know. I'm going to go down to a dealer on sunday to have a chat. G

Hi, Firstly I apologise for the amount of questions that are about to be asked, I've searched about and found a few good previous threads but thought I'd try and get all of the answers in one here. Basically I am in the process of looking to buy a new motor, I have narrowed my search down to either a 350Z or a Monaro VXR with the LS2 engine in it. With regards to the Z I have from £19-24K available to spend, obviously I am looking to buy as new as possible with as few miles on the clock as possible, whilst spending as little cash as possible, bit of a contradiction there but you know what I mean. I'd be looking to buy a GT model, maybe a GT4, if someone could point out the benefits of either that would be good....... Now the questions What can I expect for my money? I'd be looking to buy from a reputable dealer just for peace of mind, I live in the North East in Cleveland, can anyone recommend a local dealer? With the age and model of the Z what should I be looking out for? Main issues, faults etc Has anyone got the service breakdown of a 350Z? How often is a service and how much? Is there an extended warranty package available after the 3 year manufacturer is up? How much is it to fill the tank in a Z and how many miles can you get from a tank with varied driving? With regards to modifications, what seems to be the most popular upgrades? I'd be looking to upgrade in the areas of an exhaust system, induction, carbon fibre bonnet, a rear wing and some aftermarket alloys. If anyone can provide some suggestions of what mods seem best in those areas that would be great, also any pics, vids or sound clips would be welcomed. When upping the power of a Z, what seems to be the most safe and popular modifications? Also the cost of such modifications including the list above would be handy, just to get an idea. Also what local tuners of 350Zs are available in the North East? Any comments on standards and reputations would be good. If upgrading the stereo what is required other than an ISO adapter and the correct facia adapter to install a double din aftermarket stereo, something like the Kenwood DDX-7029? Again anyone that wants to put up some pics of their motors are welcome to do so. Thanks in advance to anyone that responds to the rather large amounts of questions I have asked there. Kind Regards Greg
