Fraktion Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Somebody stop me, i've only had my 350 a day and i'm already thinking: 1) Down to the local ICE installers to upgrade the battery, double din and rip out the jap satnav straight after work 2) Local wheel and bodyshop guys around the corner to sort the alloys and the bumper scuffing 3) Into the garage for a full checkover This is the first car i've ever owned where I actually want to take care of it and "make it better". I've just come from a Range Rover Sport 4.2 Supercharged to a 10 year old 350z and feel like a teenager again! Will it ever get better? Oh, just to add, i'm a complete novice and totally un-mechanically minded...but I know what I like. Quote

deankenny Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Welcome man, im pretty new too, and just like you im 0 mechinically minded, i know how to put oil and petrol in thats about it, and ive buggered that up before lol Again your right, like being a teenager again, im getting mine in the next 2 weeks and i aleady cant sleep through excitment haha, how sad !!! but im just too excited. I was lucky enough to meet Keyser the other day at the Z Shed, so i feel alot more comfortable owning a Zed with him close by Quote
smudgedon Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 That's not Zeditis, that's "generic stuff to check over/do" Zeditis is when you start buying bits for your car, and then realise it's the wrong colour, so spend more money on making it right 1 Quote
Dave-350 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Hey man! Im in Gosport so if you ever need any help send me a PM! Good luck with the car! Quote

But the Rays that come on the Zeds are the best bet as they are forged and lightweight. They will go straight on of course. But if you want to jazz up your standard touring rims you should check mine out, my mate in Fareham runs a big body repair shop and has done a flawless job on mine!

Fraktion Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Dave. Thanks for the help! Can you pm me the details of your bud in Fareham?... Quote
