Jumzo Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Evening folks! So after hankering one for a while I finally got round to buying my first Z tonight! Its a 2003 import with a full Nismo V1 kit (most likely rep) and some kind of black 20's. Needs a bit of TLC here and there but overall I am delighted with it. Let the spending begin!!! Apologies in advance for any silly questions. Quote
Clarkie Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Welcome, there's a fair few of us up Aberdeen way. Alas we're rubbish at getting any kind of meet / run organised! Where abouts in Aberdeen are you? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 to the forum. Just down the road in Perth Just a heads up, best to use proper fuel in your 350. I prefer 99 or Shell V Power. Quote
ZeppoJeff Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Hey there from another fellow aberdonian zed. Quote
Jumzo Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Cheers for all the welcomes folks! Seems to be a fair few from Aberdeen. Be sure to give us a wave if you spot me! Quote
veilside z Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Nice looking car. Hi and welcome to the club. Quote
GMballistic Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Welcome aboard. Your Zed looks great but as others have said make sure you use Super Unleaded fuel. Quote
ZeppoJeff Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Think I just spotted you driving past the arches Quote

Jumzo Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Nah, that one wasnt me. Will need to keep a better eye out for other Z's in future though! Quote

samsniss350z Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Congratulations on being the proud owner of your new Zed & welcome to the forum. Quote
Jumzo Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 Final update to my newbie thread. Still loving the car - more every day! Changed oil and filter with Castrol Edge 5W30. Old filter was rusty an oil was in a pretty nasty state. Still waiting for new clips to refit the undertray. Every bolt sheared! Purchased and fitted a standard airbox, second hand AFM and a new panel filter to replace the total hobo bodged cone filter that was on it - drain pipe+silcone+self tappers and a rusty home made bracket! Coolant flushed and replaced with fresh correct spec - what a bugger that was to bleed! Nearly 3 hours it took me! Both aux belts replaced. Bumper grilles refitted correctly. Headlights given a quick polish to remove the worst of the clouding. Nasty door bump protectors and squinty tailgate Z badge removed New front tyres ordered. New tailgate struts ordered. Stupid big sub box and amp removed. Discovered it is on Bilstein shocks all round. Scrubbed it all over inside and out and removed all trace of previous owners - including several sealed hyperdermic needles! Next few jobs on my list - gearbox oil + molyslip, brake fluid replacement, track rods and alignment, full machine polish detail, smoke up rear tyres and replace! Final little pic from my first spirited drive out a couple of nights back Quote
Bems Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Hi & from a fellow Aberdonian. Will look out for you 1 Quote
