been here a while but never said properly, so hi!

[sidekickdmr]

ive wanted a z for years but only picked up my new car this weekend, its a 2008 58 facelift 350z, only done 6,000 miles since new.

 

Here is me doing the swap at the dealers

 

And some pics of the car after its first clean

Sorry about the pants pics, just on my iphone and doesnt do the colour justice!

 

First reactions:

 

It sounds unbeliveble, feels quicker than my r26 and delivers the power in a different manner (no waiting for boost, just power all the time). It does drink more fuel though, so far I have adveraged 23mpg.

 

The colour attracts some attention too, its called temper orange and its a limited edition and they only made a handfull.

 

All in alll im a very happy bunny!

Fantastic.

 

I wish that I had mine.

Congrats, fine example!

Congratulations on the purchase, lovely looking car there, nice condition.

 

You will have to come along to some of the meet ups to show it off, there are more and more people joining from our area and its turning into a nice little group.

Lovely Solar Orange/Temper. The colour really comes alive in bright sunlight doesn't it.

Looks sweet,

 

I've always liked the look of the R26, what is it like to drive, (might one day have to be the family car if my wife gets her way)

Cheers all

 

Boycey, I loved the r26, I've actually had two, a liquid yellow and that glacier White!

 

If I needed a family hatch it would get my vote!
