martybhoy Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hey guys im currently zed-less... the birthday is coming up in august at which point i turn 20 so i'v decided after a few months of saving a zed is on my hit-list I am lookin at the 9-12k price range on pistonheads/autotrader and there seems to be no shortage of zeds for that money. However my lowest insurance quote is 3k (that was on gocompare) Is there any insurers that you guys seems to see younger drivers getting better quotes than that from? Also i have a good bit put away for a quick couple mods but would like to know some background on a few It will be probably an older zed such as 03-05 but i would like to stick the new bulge bonnet on it, do the old paint codes match the new one? and also will it fit? and one more where can i find one? Also got a set of rims iv been adoring for the last couple of months planned. And what about carbon fibre door covers (on that bit along the glass) if you know what i mean? where can i get those? is there any good websites for general asthetic improvements? Thanks very much guys for your help itll come in very useful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Mac Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hey martybhoy! to the club! Great choice of car I've added my responses to your questions but much more knowledgeable people will be along soon Q. Is there any insurers that you guys seems to see younger drivers getting better quotes than that from? A - I got a craking deal from elephant / admiral for the Z. came out way less than a TT or a Boxster when I was searching. I found that when I added my girlfriend as a named driver (even though she had 0 no claims) it came down loads. There are discounts on insurance to be had from off here too so give them a try too Q. It will be probably an older zed such as 03-05 but I would like to stick the new bulge bonnet on it, do the old paint codes match the new one? and also will it fit? and one more where can i find one? A. As far as I know its a stright swap and paint hasnt changed but some colours may not have been available when the bulge was introduced so a respray would be in order. Getting one - Nissan is obvious start but Im sure ZMANALEX could help, or breakers etc etc if your lucky Q. And what about carbon fibre door covers (on that bit along the glass) if you know what i mean? where can i get those? A. If you wnat Nismo ones they quite rare and fairly expensive - around £150 I think? I got a set of plain carbon ones from US Ebay over a year ago for about £40 which are still going strong... Q. is there any good websites for general asthetic improvements? A. Plenty - Google (and the traders on here) are your friends. There are few things that you can do to a Z that you cant get from someone on here! If every spare penny I have wasnt going in my wedding fund I'd have paid most of them a visit by now Hope this helps a bit - roll on August!!

martybhoy Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hey guys thanks very much for the help and welcome messages! Im going today to watch the football and then into nissan glasgow to have a look to see if they have any lying around and just get some rough deals that nissan themselves would be able to do. Yeh i had a look at the nismo carbon fibre parts and they are a bit on the dear side for such small parts lol but im just about to go and check out the company mentionned for the bonnet switch, i just think that the new bonnet makes it look that bit more musclely if you get me? lol Cant wait for nissan today!
