Toad Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Hi All, I live 20 miles north of Bristol and about to purchase my first 350z - at bloody last only took me 44 years to get it - anyway I know it's going to be expensive and things like the clutch etc will go in the future - so can anyone point me to a good local garage or how i would go about getting work done in the future - would I buy the parts through a trader here and then find a local garage to fit them and just charge labour ? any advise greatly appreciated Quote
TameRacingDriver Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 The 350Z has been out for 44 years?! My word, I never knew I just get bits of Zmanalex and get a back street garage to fit them. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 We have a few owners local to the area, we can supply all the parts if and when needed, so do let us know if we can help, or if you fancy a drive to Leicester, we can also fit everything we supply too... Quote
Toad Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks for the replies - i quite like it here Quote
rabbitstew Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Welcome!! The zed is very easy to service yourself to keep costs down and there are several traders on here who can supply you with all the bits. Quote
jhutch Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 There cheap unless you have to replace certain parts, like fan motors, that hurt to the tune of £800, Quote
spursmaddave Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) most things on a Zed are not as bad as you might think, around £800 for a clutch & flywheel from a trader and fitting is not too bad in my book... Good luck with the search Edited November 7, 2012 by spursmaddave Quote
HEADPHONES Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Welcome to the world of zed ownership. Quote
Toad Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 blimey there's loads of you - hardly ever see 350z's on the road - thanks for the nice welcomes Quote
Toad Posted November 8, 2012 Author Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Well I got it today and boy it's a beast of a car - love it pic of it sat proudly on my drive Only thing that occurs sometimes is a vibration under the bonnet or in the air vents when get the rev's right up - its intermitent, they did check everything mechanical out to sort it and tightens some pipes or something, but tit came back once today after a big push in 2nd - it's not major but could annoy me if it occurs more often - still chuffed to bits with the purchase Edited November 8, 2012 by Toad Quote
Ebized Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Nice buy Must get that swear filter sorted, unless you mean the feathered variety but tit came back once today after a big push Quote
spursmaddave Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Must get that swear filter sorted Bullocks to that idea! Quote
Toad Posted November 8, 2012 Author Posted November 8, 2012 haha - so excited I can't even type Quote
