WhopperSenior Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Hi everyone, I have been lurking on here for a while with the intention of picking up a 350z. Last weekend I pulled the trigger and picked up a 2007 HR coupe. I believe it was previously owned by another member here due to a forum sticker on the windscreen. The previous owner sadly died last year and it has been left standing for some time. First port of call was to give it a good clean and a wax. Next port of call is a decent service. I have it booked in for engine, gearbox and diff oil along with brake and clutch fluids. Lastly I think it will need a new compression arm as I am getting a rattle a low speeds (ball joint?). At some point I will be getting the alloys refurbed as they have some curb rash. I'm loving it already. Having come from an E92 335i auto, it already feels a lot more involving which is what I have been looking for. Quote
GMballistic Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Welcome aboard. Great looking Zed but that front number plate plinth is not a Zed one imo. Far too thick and angled down. Some people remove them altogether but I didn't on my old Zed as I preferred it. If you want to get a good condition OEM number plate plinth then PM Jon@EmperorTuning or Zmanalex as both deal in used 350Z parts so should be able to help. Quote
WhopperSenior Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I actually spotted after that photo that is was upside down! I have flipped it round now and it fits correctly. There was a private plate on the car before which I didn't take with the sale. I guess they put the old one back on wrong. Edited March 21, 2017 by WhopperSenior Quote
