ginner Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 So after a 2 week wait from putting my deposit down on my first 350Z, i picked her up on saturday! The trip down was slightly ruined by my dads demo car being a renault megane, with possibly the most uncomfortable seats Ive ever sat in! That was all a dim and distant memory as i pulled off and set out and the route back to Stoke from Redditch! Didnt take long to fall in love with the car, I know at this point its all novel and new, but by god it seems almost perfect! I didnt get much time to enjoy her for the rest of the weekend, but i did take her for a quick wash at a local place, and got the obligatory snaps done. Shes a 2004 - so a DE engine from my limited knowledge. Paint work for the most part is bang on, with a few age related marks and the usual stone chipping on the front bumper, which i believe is a NISMO V2, but will look to get this all in order very soon. The exhaust note is just addictive, really does burble along lovely at lower revs, then sounds like all hell is breaking loose when you floor it! The Zeitus has alread started, as ive ordered a gear knob from Mopedmark, to accompany some red/black gaiters, hoping to brighten up the interior a bit. Also got a proclip and brodit phone holder to install, which will work wonders with the already fitted Pioneer double din head unit. Then once i have grown use to the existing power it will be on to plenum spacers, air filters etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginner Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks for the comments guys! I was told about the lights by the seller, but hadn't really noticed any difference! Really enjoying driving her at the minute and learning the car, that said there is an ever growing list of things I want to modify! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginner Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 It didn't take long, for the Z bug to bite! After seeing mopedmarks gear knobs, I knew I wanted on straight away! Twinned with what must be the first modification I do for most cars, replacement gaiters. Its really brightened up what I thought was a some what drab and boring interior! Have to say the change to the gear change is dramatic, really has made it a far easier change! Also spotted of another forum trader the alloy vent trim plates. Fitted these, at the same time. Not so happy with these at this point. The adhesive doesn't seem to being doing the job and every time I get in the car I have to press them back down, not sure if its the hot temperatures we are experiencing at the minute that are stopping them from sticking properly. But i do like the look, and when i get the fixing sorted it will be another little thing to bling up the dash! Hopefully the phone holder will arrive this week for fitting for the weekend!

ginner Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Not much in the way of big modifications of late. I did the flyboy air box mod and fitted a hks panel filter. My Brodit phone holder is in. And I'm working on fitting a tablet: Will be hardwiring a power source in and using tasked to switch it on with ignition. But for now at least it will just be Velcro taped in place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
