martinmac Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Hi and welcome to the old enough to know better club. Quote
j33p1995 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks guys the car is on e-bay item 370215179531, I'm still going to Selby next week to look at 2 cars both coupe's, not sure which I like better roadster or coupe. chris. Quote
ddmroadster350z Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Coupe!! Nicer lines. The roadster by far the best looking drop top with the roof down Nothing else comes remotely close Quote
Arkwright Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 welcome from down the road. I have an 06 roadstar, never stopped smiling since I bought it. Quote
bronzee Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Welcome to the forum. A few for sale on here at the moment too, but not 06 I think. Quote
nixy Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 coupe all the way! Whereabouts in derbyshire you from? Selby's not far from York where i live, is it a garage or something there? Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Welcome to the forum Chris My names Chris and im from Derby too (small world ) where abouts are you ??? My personal preference is the coupe, never really been sure about the roadsters, but everyones taste is different. Dont think you will have a problem finding a decent 2006 zed, nissans are reliable motors and once you hve bought it you wont be dissapointed I assure you... Outstanding cars Quote
j33p1995 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Hi I'm in Hartington near Ashbourne been here about 18mnth, the 2 coupe's are on Pistonheads from a garage called Perstige Performance Selby, I'll make me mind up when I have seen the coupe, I never intended to buy a roadster just didn't read the advert right, turned up at the showroom and it was a roadster, must say it dose look good. If anyone has a coupe I can look at it would be a help(not to far away and ASP) chris. Quote
stanski Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 to the forum mate - coupe has a nicer roof line but the roadster is best - (best of both worlds - as good as the coupe but with all the fresh air you need ) Ragtops pretty rare - still get compliments in car parks and people surprised to see a 350 as a ragtop.

j33p1995 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Thats what I want to look at the roof lines of the coupe and the roof line of the roadster, with the TT it looks better with the roof down I had a lot of probs with leaking on the TT I hope it's not the same with a Z. chris. Quote

Nope Zed roof has a decent hood - no leaks at all. With the roof up from the back it looks like a Hot Rod with the small window and low roof line but looks best with the roof down and the 2 scuptied pods behind the seats set it off nicely! None of yer camp steel hoops either Quote
j33p1995 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks Stan, Those tyres (Falken) are they any good? I've seen a few on the forum with them just wondering what they are like. Audi had just stoped the roof leaking when I had my mishap. chris Quote
