jufun Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Seems like a friendly club. Im based in Norfokk. I just purchased my 3rd 350z! Missed the Z life too much and needed to come back. Managed to find a single owner 08 Solar/Temper Orange. Had to travel 11 hours round trip for her but all worth it. This will be the first 350 that I want to spend some time and money modifying. Looking at the Ark Grip exhaust, some 19s, a remap and maybe the BC coilovers. They seem the best for the money from googling but open to advice Edited August 16, 2020 by jufun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Wow......what a find! I'm sure there's not many 1 owner 350z left for sale. Welcome to the OC and I look forward to many more pics and updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jufun Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Thanks guys. Just got to sort out the front brake pipes and then can start treating her to some new toys. Thinking the headunit is due a much needed update too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponsonby Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 My first Z was Temper Orange. Its a rare beast, please stick to OEM+ (that can be reversed) and no daft mods.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, thinking wheels, exhaust and coilovers are pretty safe mods. If I decide to body kit it which would be a true first for me I'd likely keep all the existing bumpers and try to get it kbd front bumper and skirts and the nismo rear end. Can't see it happening though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better to sell it to me cheap and then get one a different colour : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Even if you can't get a colour match on a bodykit all is not lost. I've seen some pleasing results with people adding a black/carbon finished lip and side steps. Along with a matching spoiler for that black and orange vibe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called a few nissan dealers and they had it for about £85 but gave me the part number and ebay had one for £40 or best offer posted! I got it for £35, brand new! Albiet a little cracked on the back where its been folded in half for god knows how long. I got lucky as thought it was gonna be a dodgy one but it's the real deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Welcome, great find. Had an Ark Dual Grip on my 350z and 370z MK 2 Nismo. Great, great looking and sounding exhaust for the car. Enjoy the journey (again). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
