GBSH Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Hi, I've had a Nissan 200 for a few years now... on last legs ... fallen for the 350z and just started researching. I would welcome any advise: - is it worth getting the GT pack? - how noisy are the roadsters on fast road compared to coupe? (roof up) - anything to avoid? - is it harder/more expensive to get parts for imports? any differences? Thanks Gen Quote
martinmac Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum. There is a post in the FAQ section for new members which has links to all the buyers advice. As for the roadster v coupe issue, I would say that the roadster is actually quieter with the roof up Quote
jerry3167 Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Hello and welcome to the club!! Plenty of good advice and Zeds on the site, take time out to look through, plus loads of lovely carefully owned Zeds in the for sale section!! Quote
smudga Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Hello A lot depends on budget and ofcourse your personal preference as ^^^ lots of useful info in this site. Personally we bought a UK car at the time as we were going for new and was the GT pack as that gives leather interior which was another box ticked Uk cars are also slightly different to JDM models. There's a good mix of nice cars on this site for sale so enjoy the learning curve. Quote
Maccaman Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Hi & to the forum. Good luck with your search. Quote
brummybird Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Welcome I went for UK GT pack as it came with leather seats, bose stereo system, cruise control and all the buttons on the steering wheel The UK model has the front lamp washers and Brembo brakes (I think??) Good luck with your search hope you find one that suits you. Quote
rich5259 Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 to the club. Doesn't matter what spec you get, they all come with added Quote
BladesGrant Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 to the club. Spec depends on what you plan on doing to the car. Roadster isn't noisey with the roof up at all and best car I have driven with roof down. Drove for 5 hours to Scotland with the roof down and didn't arrive wind swept at all. I am short though!!!

rich5259 Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 : I am short though!!! Stumpy is how some of the others describe you Quote
M13KYF Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 there is a handy buying guide in the FAQ's to Quote
bronzee Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Welcome to the forum Gen. What sort of 200 did you have? S14 or S15? Quote
choptop Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Welcome . Having owned a Roadster and now a Coupe, I can definately confirm that the Roadster is a lot quieter as martinmac highlighted earlier in this thread. When it is raining though, I do prefer the Coupe. The main thing to remember is to keep within your budget, weather JDM or Uk Spec make sure it is a good example. Quote
GBSH Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 Thanks for all the welcome messages and tips, I will have a thorough read of the FAQ's. But looks like the Roadster GT is the way to go. Juts buying for the fun of driving it, no racing planned, so no mods planned. My Nissan200SX has a couple of mods, will try sell off for parts, recent suspension etc. Based in Devon so was going to try pop up toCheddar Gorge at w/e but didnt get around to it, Pistonheads meet?

DoogyRev Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Welcome to the forum, As a new-ish owner, I would say look as as many as you can, the right one for you will stick out Quote
