Wrenny Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Hi, Just picked up my 350z yesterday from Portsmouth and drove it back to Reading where I live. Thought I should join and say hello, it's a 2005 GT completely stock with only 39k miles. A few scratches and a small dent on the drivers side door which I will all be getting fixed soon. Plan is to keep it all stock for now, and look at getting the wheels refurbished in black as they are a bit knackered at the moment. Pretty big newbie to the 350z world, so looking to learn a bunch from this forum and other resources to make sure it's well looked after. Cheers, Wrenny 1 Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Car looks really nice ... but ... for me the wheels need to stay the original colour ... anyway welcome to our club Quote
andy james Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Welcome along! Agree with ATTAK Z on the wheels. Those forged Rays are incredibly light and the car will never handle better while riding on then. Quote

As hrma says get a custom exhaust first will change your z life Quote
Nardo_Z Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Welcome mate. Lovely low mileage Z! I'm a newbie too. Quote
Wrenny Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 Thanks guys, an exhaust is probably going to be first thing I do but I don't think that it'll be done soon. Declaring mods when you're 21 can get expensive Quote

Declaring mods when you're 21 can get expensive With admiral when I was 21 and each mod was £10-£20 extra. Ok they don't actually cover you but still legally declared under insurance Quote

Ok they don't actually cover you but still legally declared under insurance Yeah admiral seem to be quite good for mods - I'm 22 and quotes for an HR are around £950. If I were to add a spoiler, exhaust, interior mods & some other small bits it puts it up to about £1,040. Do they not replace them though if you crash or would they replace with stock parts?? Quote

Unfortunately replaced with stock cause the motordyne I have is the most expensive thing on the car and would be never replace £2.2k worth of exhaust. Buuut i don't intend to crash soon (well I hope not) and I'm legally declared so happy enough. Quote
Lurch Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 I am 25 and have my Z insured with Adrian Flux all mods declared and covered! only paying £750 i think Quote
The Big Miester Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Welcome along nice looking Zed you have Quote
AMT Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Keep the wheels the orignal colour and keep em clean (dish and all), they set the car off brilliantly in the sun. Black just looks like a young chav Quote
Wrenny Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 Yeah I'll keep them the original colour then. Was indifferent between stock and black but thought if I get them refurbed might as well change the colour. Quote
Payco Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Welcome.Shadow chrome is a nice alternative for a refurb. Quote
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Hi, If you do ever need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan. Quote
