martinmac Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum. If you have a link to the sellers advert we can pretty much do the viewing for you and come up with any questions before you see it. Not many major problems, the clicky back axle is well covered in here. Also check the windows work properly. Others will add to this.

Digsy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hi and welcome! As Martin says, if you can post up the link to the car you're looking at we can give you some pointers. As for Ipods, there appears to be no easy or wholly satisfactory way to link them but a quick search will give you all the info you need.

Trev-the-Rev Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hi and I can't help with the ipod connection question sorry, but when you test drive the car you should check the CD player doesn't skip as this is a common fault with the Bose.

Digsy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/search.php?mode=results Have a look through these. IIRC there is no easy hardwired solution so you may want to look at something like the Dension Ice link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zummertor Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Car looks ok in pics, detail always hard to spot as you know. Along with the comments above would suggest you check rear hatch gas struts are ok seems a few of these go after a while. It is exciting going to view a Zed and I know it will be hard but try and keep the emotion and excitement out so that your normal considered self can check the car out thoroughly. enjoy the hunt all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God was I lucky that she isnt a bag of nails! So yeah, i agree that you have to make sure you dont let your emotion take over -keep your head!
