Truffs Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Just to say hello so that im not being rude and a little introduction. 1st of all cracking site even though it was a dog to find it any search engine and thanks to Sinbad for pointing me in the right direction Ive been lurking on here for a couple of weeks and have managed to get most the info that i needed, so much so in fact that i think i confused the salesman at my Nissan garage in Newbury the other day I have always been into my japanese cars owning a civicR (young) accordR (older) IntegraDC5 (older, older) Lexus IS200 ( ) and i can be found as a Mod on the DC5 forum. I have always loved the 350z and finally i am in a position to get myself a 6 month old one from a dealer and i feel like a kid in a chocolate factory again Looking at a black GT with sat nav and going on a test drive on Thursday and hopefully buying end of October. This will probably be my last post until then so that i can carry on reading and dreaming. I forgot to say, the sound of that engine could sell the car alone Quote
Chesterfield Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 The first one we got was 6 months old, blue roadster. Still remember the grin I had on my face when we picked it up. Look forward to seeing you behind the wheel of a Z in the near future! Quote
M13KYF Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 to the forum and enjoy piccies of your Z when you get it please Quote

sinbad Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Welcome mate, glad you've managed to join up. If you have any questions just fire away! The Z sounds even better when decatted! Quote
H5 Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Welcome! Whereabouts in sunny Berkshire are you? We're trying to sort a meet in Wokingham soon if you want to come along and get to know more about the car. Quote
P15UL T Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Hi truffs and welcome to the forum i remember your name from the DC5 forum when i had mine , i made the move last year to the Zed and apart from the lack of back seats and a large boot the zed is soooo much better than the DC5. speak to you soon Paul Quote
Truffs Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 Cheers guys what a friendly bunch you all are Im from Newbury and if one was set up in Wokingham i would love to pop along and have a look. Paul nice to see you :bye: didnt realise that you had 'upgraded' into the world of the 350. If you are saying that its better than DC5 then i cannot wait until the end of October The only little thing that is worrying me is fuel consumption, how much out of a tank? (Trust me it is a very very minor worry ) Quote
Sarnie Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I used to get about 370 miles out of a tank, closer to 320 if i had been giving it some Quote
Truffs Posted September 13, 2007 Author Posted September 13, 2007 I used to get about 370 miles out of a tank, closer to 320 if i had been giving it some Thats not bad for a 3.5,v6 my Lexus is a 2l v6 and with gentle driving i get 320 out of a tank which is 60 litres so for a bigger car with an extra 20 litres of fuel not bad at all Quote
