Talking I did it

After checking everything there is about the 350Z and after more than 6 months of thinking about buying a Z, I finally did....I sold my 98 GS Lexus (it was an excellent car) a week ago and got this beautiful Z....I have been want to buy a z since I had my first car back in 85. I was 17 then and I did not have the heart to tell my dad I wanted a Z. and I finally got a Z

Thank you all for sharing your information.....you have helped me a lot without knowing in making this decision.

I have never done any modification to any car I have owned not even tint…I am actually thinking about cool-v tint. I don’t even know if that’s its name.

Default Nice car

[Tivaj,

Good choice!! You will love it. I just bought my Z about 1 week ago, same color and enjoy every second Im in the drivers seat. Where are you anyways? Dubai, Saudi? How much did you have to pay for the Z if you dont mind me asking? Im just curious because I just recently moved from Thailand and the 350Z Roadster went for 65,000-70,000$ USD. I moved back to the US just so I could buy a Track Z for under 28,000$. It was a hard choice to make, Stay with my wonderful girlfriend of 2 years in Thailand, or move back and get a Z, Damn I sure miss her. BEN

That's the coolest, craziest lookin' license plate I've ever seen. I'd figure they'd still use universal digits (ie: 012345) in addition to that (arabic?) alphabet.

And his girlfriend/wife is either thinkin "Damn my husband/boyfriend is a pimp - I'm so glad he's taking pictures" or "I'm so embarrassed he's taking pictures" <-- or at least that's what my girlfriend does.

Well, I live in Jeddah Saudi and the price I got the Z for was USD 38,666. There is only on type of Zs in Saudi.....I think they are a little different than the ones in the States. I know that they are 294HP and not 287HP... maybe I can take pics of the interiors and exteriors and post them......
Will be getting the wide plates in a week or so….at least that's what the dealership told me. man...can't wait until the break in period is over....
My wife loves the car and think that I should take more pictures if it lol

Same here. One time I took my dog out in the Z and my wife did not like that a bit

The differences between the US specs and Saudi specs that come to mind right now are as follows:

1) Headlight washers
2) HP (But I'm not really sure, it could be that in the US they under rate it for insurance purposes)
3) Extra 12v plug, located under the cub holder
4) Differential housing has fins and fined cover
5) NO Airbag sensor in the front just behind the emblem
6) 2 row radiator
7) Reverse lights, we only have one on the right side, and on the other side we have a fog light (like we get fog down here )

A bra is ok, but if you want my opinion I would go with 3M clear bra. Up to my knowledge no one here sell a bra for the Z
