mattross1313 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Evening Folks. Been a while since I was last posting on here (especially in this section of the forum) - I sold my 350z at the end of last summer to help fund the purchase of our first house. In the meantime I got myself a '95 MR2 as a daily (which is now for sale). We bought the house earlier this year, so with that business taken care of it was time to start car shopping again!! I had many cars on the list, but after driving them all I came back to Z's. After originally looking for an 07/08 HR 350z, the opportunity came to purchase a 370z for a great price! So here we are My old 350Z, just because I like looking at it. First up - big thanks to Nick (Suits) for being a top bloke. Taxi'ing us to & from the station when viewing the car, answering my many questions and for taking good car of this awesome car. The car was originally owned by Nissan Motorline (HPI shows a reg plate of N10SSN which is neat). I am now the proud owner of a 59 plate LeMans Blue 370Z GT Spec with all the usual trimmings. Car has full service history with only 35k miles on the clock. I have only had a limited drive so far in the dark but it is fantastic - really responsive, great feel through the wheel and the rev match won't get old ANY time soon!! Also, I just can't get enough of this colour!! Car currently has 2 mods fitted, which are both quality items and put me in good sted for a potential remap in the future. Stillen Gen 3 Intakes Ark Grip Exhaust - which is awesome!! It's dark out, so I have shamelessly taken a couple of pictures from Suits' project thread - just so I can get things started This will be a pretty slow going project thread but somewhere I can document my progress with the car. At the moment I am not planning on doing too many mods to this one, and just want to enjoy it. But initial thoughts mods are 25mm spacers all round Lower - maybe 20-30mm Tint windows GTR starter button Rear diffuser Refurb alloys Edited January 19, 2017 by mattross1313 5 Quote
Keyser Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Nice one Matt That zorst looks familiar somehow Quote
Humpy Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Welcome back Matt!!! Great news and hopefully see you down the zed shed again. I get a feeling lots of people were interested in Suits car as it was a great deal to be had with those mods. Catch up soon gringo! 1 Quote
mattross1313 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 That zorst looks familiar somehow Funny you should say that, I believe these are the cowboys that fitted it 3 Quote
ioneabee Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I'm sure they'll have a spare engine ready for you too Quote
Will370z Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Welcome back Matt, very nice car and lovely colour. Now you get to play with the synchro rev match too. Seems like ages ago that we got to play in Wales with Andy and humpy. We will have to go back and test your new motor out properly 1 Quote
MrsNiki Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Snap with the exhaust, don't they sound fab?!! Any annoying dents in the bumper on this one? Although following you when you got overtaken by the caravan did detract from it for a while!! Good to have you back Quote
ioneabee Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 you will never EVER live this down :lol: 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Bet your glad you didnt buy mine, I am too funnily enough, looks great Matt Quote
glrnet Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Brilliant news Matt, welcome back, nice looking car. Quote
Spatt Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 welcome back, i can see me doing pretty much exactly the same Quote
mattross1313 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks all Haven't been able to drive her much over the weekend as had things going on, but I did manage to sell the MR2 today- which is good! Niki- yep, the exhaust is a wonderful piece of kit I'm sure you'll agree! A little loud on cold start, but that soon settles down. Nice things I've noticed from the drive home on Friday - rev match on downshift is still awesome, and grin everytime!! - needle sweep on start up is a nice touch - triple blink on the indicator, only a small feature but great when cruising on motorway - the volume on the stereo doesn't have numbers. This might not seem a big deal for most, but my OCD finds this wonderful as I have to set things to even numbers( where present). So not having to worry about that is a welcome change will be good when the misses is in the car as she likes putting the volume at 9 etc, just to wind me up. Have a work trip tomorrow which will allow me 4 hours or so get to know the car a little more might take the scenic route home! 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Great news Matt and lovely looking Zed. Quote
Humpy Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Awesome Matt, look forward to seeing it in the flesh Quote
mattross1313 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Great news Matt and lovely looking Zed. Cheers Graham Still loving the new car, just planning what mods to do first Quote
mattross1313 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 So, 6 days into my ownership I figured it was time to make a start and get the first mod ordered. I think this will make a satisfying difference to the interior, plus add at least 30bhp? Hopefully this will arrive soon so I can start fettling. Just need to work out a plan for what else I plan on doing to her. Oh, and also need to give her a name but struggling so far. All my other cars had names. Quote
HaydnH Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Is the '2 a turbo? If so where's the for sale ad? We're kind of in the market for another track toy. Quote
mattross1313 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Is the '2 a turbo? If so where's the for sale ad? We're kind of in the market for another track toy. It sold over the weekend mate, but was only a non turbo anyway. Both would make great track toys though Quote
ioneabee Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 are you going to follow all my mods ... stripes and tyre valves next Quote
Ebized Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Great buy Matt - I can see the ZED grins coming back for you - just get out on some twisties and enjoy the zorst/synchro soundtrack and you won't bother with music anymore 1 Quote
mattross1313 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 are you going to follow all my mods ... stripes and tyre valves next Nah, did stripes already, they are sooo 2014 Quote
