About to get my 1st Z. Advice/Opinions
Afternoon all.
So the other day I found out insurance was cheap enough for me to get this baby
Come to you guys for advice/opinions on this one i've found and any other Z i might buy. As I know with experience there are always little things that crop up on certain cars if not taken care of.
Currently own a 1.8T Golf GTI MK4. But want something for eye catching and faster!
Currently have my heart set on this, and if the money goes through will be getting it next week...Unless i'm not spotting something you guys can!

One thing I noticed was most 350's have Brembo Breaks, this does not. Is this a genuine Fairlady and how come this model doesn't have the leather interior with the heated seats? Sorry if these are dumb questions.
Any comments would be appreciated and will hopefully be around here more often soon enough!
Thanks guys.

My car has ~74000 miles on it, and this is whats gone wrong:
Bad bushings. Our car has a bunch and they all seem to disintegrate at some point or another. Keep an eye on your front control arms.
Bad alignment. Especially if you lower it, the alignment seems to just get outta wack. I bought a lifetime alignment at my local shop.
Bad window motors. A poor design combined with windows that slide down than roll up when you close the door leads to an early death. If yours are still good maybe get in there and clean them right away, prolong the life.
The plastic engine shield got ripped off of my car, so I bought the aluminum zspeed one.
