MiniGirlie Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oh wow, hi everyone!!! **waves** OOOOO youngest person with a Zed on here, thats makes me sound a tad spoilt but i am sooo ubber excited. Right my story begins..... I have a cooper s 2003 all spec'd up (on engine though), she runs about 280 bhp but i am starting to out grow her and although i can throw money at her it just seems so pointless now and my partner is telling me to move on So anyway few engine problems have made me goo eek so i am now getting my backside into gear and test driving. Now i have dabbled with the idea of 120d, or 2.0l tdi Sline but then i started looking at little 2 seaters so the Z4 coupe and then ...bammmmm the 350z fell into my lap. I started doing bits of research on the car...and gauging what i would want. But i started getting a little confused so decided i would pop down to Nissan to for some quick advice....HOW UNHELPFUL THEY WAS!! Anyway I love the nismo .... but hell thats way to expensive. I think my budget is going to be around the 10K-12K mark know its not much but i have seen quite a few around the 9-9.5K area Whoooops waffling..... Anyway I see the Gt package...but what does that have?? One car i saw today had Brembo brakes and a Bose system and built in Satnav ....ticked so many boxes apart from the cost I know they are RWd so alot different to FWD hence why i want to road test one...but Nissan have turned around and said i might be too young..even though i am on a traders policy ...arghhh i think its 25?! So now thats another problem becuase i need to drive it to know i like it.... Right anyway ....my partner mentioned they are a tad sluggish ...(he drives an RX7 - drifter person) but i dont want lots of speed ut i like a good pick up and hey what person doesnt like to play sometimes against other cars (i sound lame but sometimes some lame blokes thinks he knows it all pulls up next to me and revs his gay loud exhaust and then steps on it...little does he know what under my bonnet ) Anyway whooops waffffle...... Right.... So i want to know if i would enjoy this car ...is it nippy??? also alot of people have mentioned a turbo conversion but that would be way down the line but i just want to know costing Right the spec i would like so far: Black, White or the really really nice blue!!!! Leather heated seats Less than 40K miles 2004 or younger or 2003 Sooo advise please???!!! Will i be able to see over the steering wheel?? LOL Chants xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Welcome to the club You should be able to get what you're looking for at that price just about. Probably a UK car too. It is pretty nippy, will make your Mini feel a bit more luke warm hatch. The Zed is deceptively fast, makes a great noise and looks great. It certainly isn't sluggish. They're not light cars but they have a 3.5l V6 up front to push it down the road! If you can get to a meet near you I am sure a member will happily take you for a drive down the road.

Jay Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 12k should be able 2 get u a nice zed, its a buyers market so get looking lol. The zed is a quick car but it is a bit on the heavy side. Tell ur bf to behave as the zed is a much better car than a rx7 The gt pack norm comes with brembos, leather seats and cruise control i think.

Chris`I Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Theres a few young-uns on here about that age, at least sub 30s anway, and I'm only 26 First off check out the many FAQs on the forums, that will answer your questions on the different specs and also give you the names of the import versions if you come across any imports on your travels. As for Nissan, yes they are useless! Most of them deal with Micras day in day out, so what do you expect lol! They are also pants WRT test drives. Although ring around and you might find somewhere. I was told <25yrs old cant test drive them (I was 24 when I got mine), but Dan Perkins in Slough let me. So keep rining around or try a private sell, they may let you drive it if you bring proof of the trade insurance. The car can feel a bit slow, but its all very deceptive. We had a recent thread on it. As the torque curve is so flat, there is no burst of power so you dont feel that kick to get off a turbo/supercharged car. You are going quicker than you know if before you realise though. I was at a RR day with the MLR on Satuday and you'll be amazed at the amount of respect the uber flat Zed torque curve got compared to their laggy turbo graphs It is a heavy car and will no doubt be slower than the Mini you have now, but its much more a cruiser and very capable at higher speeds than hot hatches and the like. And you can tell your other half that at least with a Zed you dont need to fill it up with oil every 5 minutes Get out and drive one and you'll see why we love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Can i be the first to request some photos of you in your Zed when you get it I'm trying to bully my sis to get one, she is 22 and her insurance quote wasn't too bad actually but it all depends on postcode. p.s - get a black one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Not the colour you want or age, but for 10k this as to be one if not the best kept zed of its type in the country Whoever buys it gets a beauty http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... highlight= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy, the power will actually get on the road and you won't be torque steering all the way down the road doing twice the mileage as the Zed driver! This sort of guide should help you out with your decision. http://motortorque.askaprice.com/articl ... budget.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
