nickwheadon Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Hi Guys, Just wanted to say hi as I am a newbie. Just brought one in the 'sale', £20k for a Twilight Grey, Alezan leather, Sat Nav, GT4 alloys - thought it was a pretty good deal. I had been looking for ages and nearly brought one in the summer for 19k (2006 car!). Crazy how much they have come down by. Anyway just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Welcome to the forum, you got yourself a good deal there... Quote
nickwheadon Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 Hey - From Reading down south, what about you? Quote
nickwheadon Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 yeah - I had been looking for quite a while but ummmed and arrrrd for ages (especially with the economy as it is), but when I saw they were doing new ones at that price I couldn't really say no! I see that there is a section on mods. Can you guys recommend any interior/exterior bits that I can do to improve the look. Seems like everyone has changed the ariel? Quote
Chris`I Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Load of mods available. You've found the mods section so just have a look around. Also look at the Photos area under Media, plenty to see in there. There is also a monthly meet in Reading by the footie stadium. Yet to find out dates for 2009 but watch out for the post. Also a meet at the Pheonix Inn on 1st Feb ( http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18630 ) - pop along and say hi Quote
nickwheadon Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah cool - I will try and pop along. Let me know when you have set the dates for the Madjeski meet. I still have to wait 7 days for it to be delivered - am thinking that this is going to be a long wait! Quote
Darren-B Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Hi there Nick, thats going to be a long 7days, Can you clarify weather its a new Z ? Quote
SunsetZed Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Another one in Berkshire, we might give Aberdeen a run for it's money yet... Quote
Maccaman Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Hi & to the forum. Good to see someone has got themselves a bargain. Quote
sunset350z Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Hi there Nick, bet you're glad you waited now. Wish i did Quote
AK350Z Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Nick, You'll love the car, it's amazing! enjoy the club. Quote
nickwheadon Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Cheers for the welcomes! Yeah was a new one Darren. Managed to get them to through in 12 months road tax as well - so they must be pretty desperate at the moment! Quote
drewbie Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Welcome to the club and to the best bit, which is actually ownign a Zed. Sounds like you got an amazing deal. I bought new just over a year ago and have lost a small fortune. Shame as I really fancy a 370z but the difference is just going to be too wide. Need to wait for mine to age a little more and hopefully slow down the depreciation. As for the aerial, I like to stick to how the Nissan Gods first made it - and wind everyone else up on the site. Sends 'em all fuuny when they see an original but I think it looks fine. Loads of Mods and money can soon disappear, you cam literally do anything. Engine Mods very difficult if you want to get real gains - Induction kits etc have no effect on bhp as ECU resets itself. Gains can be had but very expensive and starts getting into piggy back ecu's etc. Watch your warranty ! That 3 yr warranty can disappear very quickly if Nissan decide it's been modded and they can align blame for the fault there. Also don't forget to let you insurers know, and that might give you a nasty surprise ! Have fun though. Awe3some car and great bunch of owners if this club is anything to go by. Meets are well worth it, especially if you want to see a wide range of Mods and get some great advice. Quote
nickwheadon Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Cheers for the advise! Yeah I had seen around the forum about the warranty - think I'll just make little changes for cosmetics at the moment, rather than anything with the engines. I also have an 02 CTR - so I can always keep doing little bits and bobs to that! Quote
bronzee Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 What a good find Nick. Don't forget some Zeds pics. Quote
