Dallan Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Hi all, im new to this whole "jap" kinda thing so your truthful and honest opinion would be greatly appreciated.... Im thinking of selling my ITB'd VX220 and buying into a 350Z. I will only buy black with relatively low mialge (less than 60k). Id prefer to buy the UK model but can people please tell me the differences? Insurance /Servicing/Parts/Faults...etc? How easy are these to modify (performance wise)?? What should i look out for when buying a 350? What will i get for 10k?? Thanks - Dallan Quote

martinmac Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Hi and welcome to the forum. There are only a few common faults such as the clicking rear axle which can be fixed pretty cheaply. Performance wise you can get a remap but if you really want to go down the FI route it can be pretty expensive. Quote
Husky Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 FI, whats the going rate now? 5k for supercharged? over 10k for turbo? not sure on mid/rear mounted turbo? Quote
Dallan Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 Hi and welcome to the forum. Performance wise you can get a remap but if you really want to go down the FI route it can be pretty expensive. how much for a remap and what will it take it to?? Quote
martinmac Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 There are a couple of traders on here who can do it. viewtopic.php?f=114&t=38876 viewtopic.php?f=131&t=24772 Quote
Ian Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 FI, whats the going rate now? 5k for supercharged? over 10k for turbo? not sure on mid/rear mounted turbo? Could probably do a Vortech for about 6K using new parts Quote
Dallan Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 What are these cars like for tyres then?? - Petrol?? Servicing etc?? Quote
martinmac Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I have never worn any tyres out in 50k as I change my wheels all the time. Service costs are not bad at all. You can get 30 mpg plus if you take it easy or mid teens if you give it some stick. Quote
Dallan Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 so there is a 9000 mile servicing advisory (ive read somewehre) - how much is this to do at a garage etc etc?? Quote
martinmac Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Yes its 9k or 12 months. The cost really varies with where you live but there are plenty of good independants around to keep the costs down. Have a look in here. viewforum.php?f=64 Quote
