andymeeson Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Hi all, i currently own a 300zx twin turbo and am now thinking of buying a 350z. i was looking at a 2004/2005 gt pack in silver and must be a uk car (insurance is cheaper lol) but as this car is will have about 50k on the clock is there anything common to look for? having the 300zx for over 3years now you get to know problems but would like to know what to look out for on the 350z before i buy. Regards Andy Quote

andymeeson Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 lol, i cant decide on the colour now, just seen a metallic blue and fell in love lol, but always wanted a silver one lol oh and the sunset orange is nice lol help!!! Quote
martinmac Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Not sure what is on sale on here at the moment but always worth a look, the cars will be worth considering. No bad colours and roasters are better, dont worry abouut hairdresser comments, wait till you meet some of their owners on here Quote

andymeeson Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 lol just seen this one, might give them a call tomorrow http://www.s2000-4u.co.uk/vehicle-detai ... &ID=876083 apart from the oblong rear number plate how can i tell if its a uk spec? Quote
Cragus Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 lol just seen this one, might give them a call tomorrow http://www.s2000-4u.co.uk/vehicle-detai ... &ID=876083 apart from the oblong rear number plate how can i tell if its a uk spec? There are a few differences mate.....JDM don't have brembo brakes, the square plate on the back and a few other subtle differences. Remember these can all be changed once imported to look like a UK spec. It's best just to ask the dealer Welcome anyway! Quote
andymeeson Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 as this is the 276bhp was thinking of adding the nismo exhaust and pop charger intake, is there anymore mods to keep the reilablity but gain bhp? Quote

IanS16 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 as this is the 276bhp was thinking of adding the nismo exhaust and pop charger intake, is there anymore mods to keep the reilablity but gain bhp? The intake and exhaust are mainly for sound/cosmetic but a plenum spacer will improve torque and bhp a little The 350 is pretty well tuned from the factory. Quote
Cragus Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 as this is the 276bhp was thinking of adding the nismo exhaust and pop charger intake, is there anymore mods to keep the reilablity but gain bhp? ECU will stop alot of mods providing any BHP gains bud. Nismo exhaust and JWT pop charger sounds nice but expect to pay top dollar for the nismo exhaust with the weakened pound. £1295 off the Chilli's (traders on this site) roughly I think. Quote
andymeeson Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 oh right cant get them from the usa for £780 + delivery which will more than like be the same i suppose Quote
martinmac Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Afraid its all down to the exchange rate being bad at the mo. Check with the traders, there are other options. Quote
bronzee Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Welcome to the forum Andy. Any pics of the 300zxTT? Happy hunting for Zed number two. Quote
