TameRacingDriver Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi all, Just signing up as I've just bought myself a 2006 350Z roadster GT. I live around Newcastle area. Don't know much about the car as yet, except that I love the noise, looks, handling and power. Mine has an Injen induction kit and some kind of aftermarket exhaust allegedly, and the wheels are huge, dreading having to buy new tyres! Although I possibly should have done my homework better as I think I ended up with both a lower power version and am going to get shafted for road tax! Anyway some pics... http://s959.photobucket.com/albums/ae77 ... ingdriver/ Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan27 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Welcome along! I bought my Z from Vic Young in South Shields, not too far from you I imagine. Thankfully I live just over the right side side of the border though Tyres were a concern for me when I got mine, managed to get some Falkon 19" tyres for £150 (each) recently which is better than I was expecting! This is a very active forum with loads of experienced members offering great advice, and the traders on here are also excellent, both with advice and prices!

TameRacingDriver Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks again for the warm welcome. @Ewan - I work in South Shields, but I live on the right side of the River Tyne lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TameRacingDriver Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 One question I do have, how does the Z normally fair for rust (mine is a UK model), the last few Jap cars I've had (MR2T, MX5, PGT etc) have all had rusty bits. Is it worth getting it undersealed before the winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TameRacingDriver Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Took a pic of the exhaust, doesn't look anything special to me, but then I wouldn't really know. Also had scary moment today where I thought the soft top wasn't working, but its because I didn't have the foot on the brake. Finally I can hear a clicking noise coming from the back, common problem?

14N Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Clicking noise from rear is common. Use the search function, but here's a starter: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=60165 Can't help identify your zorst, but you really should invest in some Autosol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TameRacingDriver Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Previous owner was a woman. Thats why one of the wheels is kerbed as well probably lol. Noted on the autosol. The clicking is something I'll probably address eventually, doesn't bother me too much at the mo. At least it looks like these cars are more robust than my last car, a Clio 172 which cost me over £1500 in various repairs in just 3 months. With a car a special as the Z I wouldn't have minded so much but the Clio was supposed to be a cheap runaround. Not cheap at all really.

JetSet Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Although I possibly should have done my homework better as I think I ended up with both a lower power version and am going to get shafted for road tax! Welcome Nope, that's an 05 reg so its in the cheaper road tax band . You do have the 276 BHP model but seeing as the later 298 and 309 BHP versions are 75kg heavier then the difference is quite small really.
