My 05 Roadster

[Jackh902]

Hi guys,

 

New here. I bought my 350Z a few months ago and wanted to join the community. I bought this car for 3.8k with just over 90k on the clock. Car a few issues but nothing I can't handle. Owning the car for just under 4 months I've noticed the below

 

• Heated seats, not sure if they even work or they take for ever to come on and when they do, it's only mild
• Fuel gauge is wrong (Presuming it's the fuel sender) when tank says it's half full, it's actually empty
• Drivers side window it's stubborn, goes down fine but won't go back up. Gotta lock the windows before it goes up.
• Roof only goes 90% down (I found the fix, just need to order the parts but due to being winter. Not a priority)

 

 

Here are my plans fort he car in 2025 

 

• Repair the paintwork, there's some bad scuffs on it. It looks like it's had a poor respray in the past like the bonnet is a different shade of blue to the rest of the car. But I got some carbon fibre effect wrap to cover the bonnet
• Install some small mods such as induction kit, maybe a small body kit, exhaust system
• Restore the missing parts such as underpanel tray, replace the wheel arch covers, replace the brake back plates
• Install a more modern head unit, one with apple carplay/android auto
• replace/improve the interior as the panels are damaged
• Underseal the car professionally, the underside has little rust and had protection done before but it was only half a job it looks like

 

 

 

If anyone can suggest any tips for the car or any businesses that could help me with my journey then that'll be amazing! I was hoping to restore the paint back to perfection. I know one or two garages in my area that could help me with the mods but any suggestions are welcome

 

 

Currently this car looks like a neglected project car but i wanna be that person to restore this

For brand new uprated parts... Always @Coz@TORQEN or @Tarmac@TarmacSportz. They have websites.

 

For OEM hand parts, go to @ZMANALEX.

 

Fuel issue is an easy fix. Have a search on here for it. Good luck with the car and welcome 👍🏽

Welcome and enjoy!

 

I don't know what it is about blue paint, but to me it always looks cracking under lights at night time events.  I nearly bought a 350z convertible in blue 20-odd years ago, I even got as far as putting a deposit down, but went for a blue Mitsubishi GTO import instead for a project car.

 

So far I've got all my parts either at the local stealers or @Coz@TORQEN (who is brilliant)
