Jap_racer Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hi guys and gals. I used to the dub scene, but after watching fast and the furious, I am wanting a jap car. Currently driving a astra 2.2 just to get a-b and because of new work commitments. After seen a few nice 350z around norfolk and mate working at desira as a sale mans, 350z is what I have in mind. Something that is completely standard, so I can customise it to my liking. 2004 onwards and 50-60k on the clock. I can manage to afford to pay fuel, tax and insurance. Apart from those, is their anything I should b a wear about. Cambelt change replacement? Clutch? And normal wear and tear. Are they as reliable as a civic type r? Where is the best place to buy mods, uk, USA, or japan? Has anyone experienced fitting a twin turbo kit? Thanks. Hopefully soon I shall be driving in style and be coming to meets.

Rocky4510 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome mate. Servicing costs ain't extremely high, the only cost I was worried about when buying mine was the clutch, but it hasn't gone just yet at 73k miles (touch wood) they cost around £1k to replace and fit And I believe they can last anywhere between 60k-100k miles. There is a couple on here that have twin turbos, I'm sure they will be along soon :thumbs; Sent from Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsexr Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 No cam belt mate the VQ engine has a timing chain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome to the forum and as gsexr mentions there are no cam belts just a chain. If you look through the website you'll find no end of handy information regarding the sort of things that you should be looking for when buying a new Zed for yourself. If you ask kindly and there is a member living near you they may come along and help you look over a potential purchase. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
