Pnthrblkzs Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Hello all Signed up to the forum a few weeks ago to have a nose as I was looking for a new car and wanted some tips for buying a 350z Anyway as of yesterday I am a proud owner of a '54 plate Blade Silver 'Z' with Black leather and GT pack I am so happy to be back in a petrol car after my old E90 BMW 320d, and what a car the 350z is. All I can think about is getting in the car and going for a drive, lol. I got the car for a price I was happy with and only had to travel 60 miles to pick it up The car is standard apart from a Scorpion exhaust and some tired looking 'Z' badges which the previous owner had changed the Nissan badges for. The car has some niggles which I will be sorting over the coming months such as, Weathered 'Z' badges front and rear Corrosion and peeling on the front wiper arms Front bumper respray due to stone chips Corrosion and slight curbing to alloys Clicking rear axel Double press of boot release required to open boot And if I can I'd like to add, a shorter ariel Bose hack for my iPhone/iPod Folding mirrors on lock/unlock Carbon dipped steering wheel control panel Carbon cover for the bottom middle bit of the bumper But other than that enjoy it. I spent today giving it a spruce up, I had to scrape handfuls of mud out of the arches and I think the door shuts, filler cap to had never been cleaned before but I'm happy now, just finished cleaning and conditioning the leather and having a rest now. Anyway, that's me for now. I look forward to hanging around the forums they seem a cracking place with lots of information and a great bunch of members. Jon Quote
glrnet Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 It seems you have fully fledged Zeditis already Quote
andy james Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Welcome mate. Not far from you in Bournemouth Quote
Pnthrblkzs Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I wouldn't mind meeting a few local owners but I guess meets are few and far between in the autumn/winter months. I really do have fully fledged zeditis, I have the cure though...... Bank card, petrol station and my right foot! Roll on the weekend for the first part of my project tidy up, re-furb the wiper arms and fix the boot release issue. I'll also get a quote for my bumper respray and try and get it booked in. I do like a good project. Jon Quote
MrE004 Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I'm fairly new here too but also a new owner and in Southampton. Also hopeful of getting to a meet sooner rather than later, though figuring out where is proving challenging for me Quote
Greddy-Matt Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Hi from another southampton owner, quite a few of us i think, we should arrange a mini meet somewhere soon leisure word or somewhere like that? Quote

Welcome to the forums mate and get some pics up of your car As Greddy said seems to be a few of us close to each other and Im only 15 minutes away so a mini meet woudl be good. Maybe a combined Winch/South and Bournemouth and meet somewhere in between the two Quote
