Just bought myself a 53 350z, in grey. I don't know too much about them so I thought here would be the best place for help! MY previous cars have been a 2001 190 Celica and my first car was a 1987 Mr2, I've only been driving for 2 years and wanted a 350z for ages

 

Congrats on your 1953 350Z!

 

I bet! I mean it's a 57 year old car.

 

Got any pictures of this 1953 350Z? I'd love to see what they looked like back then

 

Hmm...

 

Shoulda got a newer one...congrats though

 

how many miles on that 53' 350z? everything original? u better hang on to that one cuz its a classic

 

Did the '53 come with Brembo's?

 

In England, a 53 in a september 2003, cheers for the warm welcome...

 

^All jokes aside I was totally unaware of that. Thanks for the information and the laughs.

 

Could you better explain this system? I'm genuinely curious as to how it works.

Also, welcome to MY350Z.COM. Don't let some of these guys discourage you from visiting our boards often. You'll grow to tolerate them soon enough.

 

Number plates in the Uk now work like this a '53' plate would be say XY53 ABC the XY is the code for where in the UK the car was registered, the 53 is september 2003 and the ABC is random. And a January 2003 car would be XY03 ABC

 

welcome, but how does 5 transpose to September wouldn't September be 9 since its the 9th month?

 

+1 That's what I was wondering about. Technically, if Jan = 0, then Sep should = 8, or at least that seem to be our logic.

 

I dunno, possibly because a 5 is half of 10? I don't think it makes sense and I think it's a bit of a stupid system, don't know what they're going to do this year with it being 2010

 

Welcome.........enjoy the Z. So how is the weather in the UK?

 

Snow all over the UK!

 

Based on that system, do cars over there keep the same license plate regardless of the owner?

 

Should have went with a '54.5 they upgraded the carb that year.

 

welcome...
