Nick350z Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Hi gang. Been a member for a little while now but never got round to posting. I've had my 350z for about a year now and thought it was about time to post up a few pictures. She's been draining me of money in the last few months but most of it has been me wanting to get her up to a decent standard so it's had - P3 service at Nissan, pretty much a full respray to get rid of the little marks, dings and scratches, Rays refurbished, new set of Michelin Pilot Supersports, new mats, new Bosch wipers and a Cobra non-resonated exhaust plus Y pipe fitted (thanks to CS for supplying) Edited July 25, 2013 by Nick350z Quote
Nick350z Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Not the greatest of photos but you get the idea! Next on the list will be a set of brake pads and then I'm going to try and leave it alone (although a new double DIN head unit would be rather nice!). Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Looks great, Nick, many thanks for the exhaust order too... Quote
Nick350z Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Looks great, Nick, many thanks for the exhaust order too... Must say one thing - it's loud!! When I first drove it I thought 'My god what have I done here?' but it's settled down a touch now and it's reawakened the child in me - sounds brutal when given maximum beans. It is a little droney at times on part throttle (but I knew that when I bought it) but nothing that cannot be 'driven around' and has made me genuinely laugh a few times with the sheer outrageousness of it! 2 Quote

I thought the same when I got mine, but the sound is really incredible and I love it. Have you blasted through a tunnel/underground car park yet? I pull this face when I do Quote

No not yet - but I'm sure it'll happen. I've noticed it gets a lot more attention now though - both from pedestrians and other road users. The other thing is that I'm getting through more petrol than I did because I like listening to it! Quote
rabbitstew Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Nice one! Although being a 2007 it looks like you missed out on the 313 engine by just a few months which is a shame! Quote
Nick350z Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Yep! It's got the higher tax as well! To be honest when I bought it I didn't realise there was another facelift after this one - it wasn't until I joined here that it became apparent. This was on a short list with a BMW 130i and an R32 golf. What swung me towards it though was the fact it was a 2 seater RWD car (never ticked either of those boxes) one owner, full history with the sat nav and GT pack. I had a Clio 182 before this (a 172 before that and a 5 GT Turbo before that!) so this is a nice step up in terms of power, build quality and road presence. It's nothing like the hot hatches to drive as you'd expect - I find it less excitable/nervous but more refined, planted and much quicker after 60/70. I'm no drift hero though so I've yet to experience power slides etc! Quote
samsniss350z Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 It looks nice and tidy, keep us up to date with your mods, Quote
Nick350z Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 Thanks for the warm welcome chaps. I must say this really is a decent club/forum with a positive relaxed vibe to it. I'd used a couple of guides on here already as well which were incredibly useful, and regularly read up on forum posts, so I'll do my best to post as often as I can. It would also be good to get to some meets when they are on as I don't know anyone that owns a Z and it's always nice to meet like minded folk. Quote
Siman350z Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Looks very smart. I used to have A 306 rallye which I loved but after a few changes, the 350z is the best I've found since the pug. You'll warm to the rear wheel/ LSD/ balanced set up in no time. Enjoy! Oh and as it seems you're a perfectionist, finish up with a hunter system laser wheel alignment- transforms the car handling wise when it's set up as it should be and great for what it costs. Quote

Zhorno Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Oooo I wanna see thees think I need new disks 😎👠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
samsniss350z Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 . You've a tidy looking Zed there, have you thought of doing a bumper tuck just to show off that exhaust a little bit more? Quote
AliveBoy Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Welcome along, liking the vinyl number plate too Quote
Nick350z Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Hmm. I'm not sure about that particular mod. I think it looks better with some of the Japanese exhausts, and maybe the Scorpion, but the back box on the Cobra is quite small - even compared to standard. Quote
Nick350z Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Welcome along, liking the vinyl number plate too Cheers - be interesting come MOT time but I'll worry about that in a few months! Quote
