jonw246 Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Hi guys and girls, recently purchased a 2003 red 350z gt UK spec car, bit rough, bit rusty but I plan to sort all that out over the next few months. Anyway it's nice to meet you all and I hope to steal all your knowledge Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 1 Quote
pjf1985 Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Very nice indeed, love red Zed's! Welcome along buddy 1 Quote
Payco Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Looks great, where is the rust and where is it rough. Dont see too many red zeds. Lovely colour. Welcome along. 1 Quote
jonw246 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks people, and payco the rust is on the o/s front wing (front edge and round the arch is all bubbling) and the other is around the rear arch. Passenger door looks to have been kagged and sprayed cheaply to a bad standard and I'm working my way through the previous owners love for cleaning the car at most once a year (sigh). Oh and my exhaust split into two at the backbox flange yesterday so need to get that welded up asap as it currently sounds rather racecar like haha Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
jonw246 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 Plus all the usual clunky brake pads, rusty underbody and noisy thrust bearing Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
Payco Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 sorry to hear that, hope the price you paid reflected the work thats needs doing to put her straight. Hope there are no hidden issues and you enjoy the ride. 1 Quote
jonw246 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 Hopefully the price does match, all the zeds for sale locally to me were either high mileage or heavily modded (not best for my current insurance situation - turn 22 next month and my previous car a mazda3 MPS was written off hence I can't really afford to insure mods right now) Paid 6500, the car has had a full service, including box oil etc all Nissan parts, New genuine Nissan stubby gear knob, apparently a new clutch 10k miles ago - no signs of slipping but a definite whistle and slight groan from the thrust bearing when clutch isn't engaged Car is on 69k miles and it came with half a tank of fuel too Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
