Scott TMN Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Nice list mate, if you already have a list before you have the car I'll be very surprised if that doesn't grow aha You'll love the car too buddy, like me this was my first RWD car, you'll be absolutely fine just don't treat it as a fwd Quote
pjf1985 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Lol yeah I expect it will! Cool, sure I will do, was surprised on how well it handles on my test drive! Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Some pics of my car from the dealership website... http://s167.photobucket.com/user/OAUL/library/My%20Nissan%20350Z%20GT and some pics of my previous car, my Civic Type R (FN2)... http://s167.photobucket.com/user/OAUL/library/My%20Honda%20Civic%20Type%20R%20FN2 Quote
GMballistic Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Great cars both of them. I used to have an EP3 Type R before I got my 350 and it was the most reliable car I have ever owned. I did also consider the FN2's before I decided on buying the 350 but felt I wanted a real change from my old EP3. Love the FN2's though and really wanted a turbo charged one after seeing TDi's boosted FN2. Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks mate! Ah cool, yes they are extremely reliable, I loved my FN2 to bits but wanted a change after owning it for 4 years. I too wanted something completely different and was a toss up between the 350Z and the S2000. TDi's boosted FN2 is amazing! *drool* Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 So I picked up my 350Z yesterday from the dealership yesterday and had a nice 2 hour drive home. I'm very impressed with the car and glad I went for it. First thing I done when I got home was remove the horrible plate holder on the front which I think gives it a cleaner look. Going to go for some smaller plates eventually though. Before and after the plate holder removal... Quote
ZEUS Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Glad your liking it, the modding won't stop with the number plate though Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Todays small but very important mod... Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 And another update! Got my new Gear Knob through the post yesterday so had to fit that after work tonight. Wasn't keen on the standard one so been wanting to change it. It's a Razo knob in Neo Chrome, looks awesome and feels great! Will get a better pic in the light... Quote
mattross1313 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Nice mate. I also use a neo-chrome shifter. Look great don't they Quote
buster Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 nice looking zed...look forward to seeing your modding progression Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Nice mate. I also use a neo-chrome shifter. Look great don't they Yeah mate I love it! Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 A couple more pics of my sparkly new knob in a better light...must say my knob feels pretty cold to touch! Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Got some more goodies yesterday Got my stubby aerial and Nismo style lip through the post. Also had 2 new front tyres fitted in the form of Continental Sport Contact 5's, seem like very good tyres! More pics when I've fitted my aerial and lip Quote
pjf1985 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Just thought I'd post a little update since its clean and I've fitted my stubby and new splitter! Absolutely loving my splitter, totally transforms the front of the car 1 Quote
hensh65 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Love it mate, really deep shine. Are you going to be putting spacers on? makes a big difference. 1 Quote
pjf1985 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Love it mate, really deep shine. Are you going to be putting spacers on? makes a big difference. Cheers bud! Umm can't decide, was going to get spacers for now but think I may just get some new rims pretty soon and if so I'll go wider then! Quote

Umm can't decide, was going to get spacers for now but think I may just get some new rims pretty soon and if so I'll go wider then! Wider rims would be better, I have spacers which make it look miles better but I don't trust them so tend not to take any risks Quote
