saiper Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 After weeks of looking, I've finally got myself a 350z. I opted for an azure JDM with several modifications - carbon fibre spoiler, induction system, uprated exhaust system. I wasn't put off by the fact it's an import, as it ticked all the boxes and insurance costs (which were a slight concern) turned out to be pretty decent. The only issues I have noticed are that the drivers seat needs some leather restoration work doing to it, as the side bolster is worn. Should be an easy fix. The boot struts need replacing. I already have the parts so will be fitting them this afternoon and lastly.....I noticed last night when on the motorway, that occasionally when travelling 60+ the car seems a little "drifty", as though it's not driving true. I'm fairly certain that this is a tracking/alignment issue but I'm anxious to get it sorted asap, so will be taking up to my local Nissan centre later in the week. I'll be sure to get some pictures up this afternoon. Cheers J:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodder Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Congratulations I wouldn't bother taking to a "Nissan center" I'd take it to a good 4 wheel alignment/geometry specialist as they will check and setup properly. Enjoy your new acquisition Edited as made it sound like I was referring to a Nissan Indy as opposed to dealership.

cs2000 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The driftyness could also be drop links I guess. Had mine changed last week due to some squeaking noises and car feels much more stable now as it as it always felt light at the front end when around 70. Welcome to the club anyway and hope she makes you happy, but prepared to NEVER have any money ever again. Zeditus is an expensive disease to contract sadly...

Not sure of any decent places for alignment in the northeast/durham area though. I was also considering getting a p3 service carried out, just for peace of mind really.
