Shezad93 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hey, my first post on here.. I'm 20 years old and just moved to Stirling for University, so thought I would treat myself for getting into University and take advantage for the cheap insurance so bought myself a Zed which I have loved for years. Bought myself a 2004 Black 350z GT with the full Nismo kit which completely sets the car off. After owning it for a couple of months, still love it every time I sit in it! Big difference from the 1.6 Astra haha. Was a bit tricky in the bad weather at first but getting use to it. Defiantly an eye catcher and get plenty of attention, I know I have made the right choice between the Zed, VXR and Type R. Any general tips, maintenance or things to look out for?

Mctwist Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Welcome! I was the same age, and at Uni, when I got my first Zed - words can't describe the excitement, can it? Admiral were really good for the insurance. By the sounds of it you've got insurance sorted. But admiral took into account the fact that i was at Uni, liked the fact that i was young and also gave me a huge discount for having a parent, with good driving history, as a named driver on my policy. I would like to advise against servicing at a Nissan dealer because of the ridiculous prices. And, the fact that when I phoned up for wheel alignment they responded: "All four wheels?".... 'nuff said. Keep it simple, don't neglect regular, preventative maintenance. I'm lucky enough to have a local garage around the corner, that's always been there, they love their JDMs and keep you informed about things that will eventually need attention - that is worth it's weight in gold. Check your oil every 2 weeks and change with an ester based, fully synthetic. These VQs love it. All the best and lastly..

Shezad93 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks for the replies! Was close between the Black and Azure blue but just fell in love with the black. Ha, in terms of insurance, Im orginally from Belfast were I was quoted £5000ish for insurance :/ But got it for around £1000 in Stirling Actually going to book it in for a service on Monday from a garage around the corner, hopefully wont break the bank. Phoned nissan to enquire and they said if I needed additional work such as Spark Plugs, they are an additional £200... Complete robbers. Defiantly stick to my good local mechanics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Tell me about Nissan Dealers ~ they robbed me for £220 to do my plugs when I first got my Zed. I have since wised up and found a good local independent garage. Black looks very cool on any car but even better on the Zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
