ClaireZ Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Hey all! I've just bought a '53 350Z GT in Pearl white.... its currently on its way over from Japan! I'm really plea.sed as it only has 2800 miles on the clock. I can't wait....it seems to be taken for ever though!! It will be ready for pick up on 14 April! I actually haven't driven one yet but have fallen in love! Claire Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Welcome on board... Any photos available, I thought I'd ask before someone else does... Enjoy the forum... Quote
Sgt Wilson Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Claire, lots of good information on here. Nick Quote
ClaireZ Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 yes, here they are....not that great but they're from the dealer in Japan! Quote
steve_b Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Hope you enjoy the stay. You will be the proud owner of one most exclusive cars in the UK as I have only seen/heard of one other white in the UK. Steve Quote
ClaireZ Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 thanks guys... well Torque-GT found it for me. I gave them a list of my specification and colour options, originally i said blue or yellow and had to have brembo's. Then i found a picture of a white one on one of the forums, and had to have a white one! So 4 days later they found one for me! and to have hardly any miles on i was so impressed! Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks for sharing the photos, your car looks great… Roll on April 14th... Quote
lomoto Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Nice car, Got some exras fitted to by the look of things Quote
Morg Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Lovely looking Zed, white must be the rarest colour in the Uk? You prepared for all the admiring looks? Quote
ClaireZ Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 Well i was going to get a kit imported with the car from Japan or at least the Nismo kit, and when they sent the photos to see if i liked it, it had the kit already!! so double pleased!! can't actually believe i have a white one!! never thought that Toque-GT would pull it off!! Well i have a Hartge MINI cooper S at the moment, we won Modified Mini of the year so am used to the looks - am actually dropping 10 bhp going to the Zed! I have just got Bee*R wheels in white thinking about coilovers or springs too - definitely want to lower the ride without compromising comfort - any recommendations? Quote
rickya Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Looks like we got a bit of an experienced modder here! Nice car; colour & it seems you have great taste in mods too! Look forwatd to seeing the end result Quote
Sarnie Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Very nice car!! Almost as nice as my yellow! Ahem You gonna get a rear spoiler for it? Quote
ClaireZ Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks for all your comments. I really want the Nismo MK2 spoiler but pearly paint it soooooo expensive, it has 3 layers! I have to buy a minimum of 1/4 litre paint and because it is a 3 stage paint i have to buy 1/4 litre of each totalling £80+ this would probably be just enough for the wing! My partner has an S15 in the same colour, and its a real hassle! It really depends on how the current little lip spoiler fits and if when it comes off it takes the clear coat off with it and where the new one attaches! Anyone know? Quote
stuey Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 removing the lip spoiler is pot luck on the paint damage front ....... its the adheasive on the sticky tape that eats into the paint.......... Quote
rmmackfc Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Hello and welcome Nice looking Zed, never seen a white one in the flesh before New set of rims and it'll look the business Quote
Zedrush Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Hya Claire, I must admit I never ever like white cars, just dont look right, have never ever seen a white 350z, didnt know it existed but.................. From your pics I absolutely love it, looks bloody awesome Not in a million years would I thought that a white 350z looks this nice. I think it will be one of the few if that in U.K. Hats off to you Quote
ClaireZ Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 Thankyou! I can't believe i've never actually driven one yet! I'm a real fan of white cars...not too sure how the pearl will look in real life but we shall see! Our neighbours will think we're strange....2 Nissans both in pearl white! Quote
nixy Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Hi there Claire - at last, more girls on the forum! I'm also awaiting mine from Japan but have only just bought it so a long while yet! White is definitely the new black and i saw quite a few when I was looking for mine, obviously very popular with the japanese. I love it but wasn't brave enough! Bet you can't wait to get it! Quote
Beavis Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Thankyou! I can't believe i've never actually driven one yet! I'm a real fan of white cars...not too sure how the pearl will look in real life but we shall see! Our neighbours will think we're strange....2 Nissans both in pearl white! You will love it even more when you have driven it!!! Saw a white one in Chester a few months ago and it looked as good as the yellow Quote
Removed Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 PPW in the flesh looks really really good. I've seen a couple of Zeds in that colour in the flesh and they look the business Quote
