Hello

[IanP]

Hi

My name is Ian, I'm 26 & from South Wales I'm currently in the process of stripping down my supercharged 350Z & a 4200 or Gransport are high on my list of replacements for it

I am a regular on the 350Z so I know not to ask any silly questions without a search first

 

[Parisien]

Ian..welcome.....we all had to start somewheres...ask away!

Hi Ian, welcome to the forum....Good choice of car......Where abouts are you as I am also in South Wales....

Hi Ian and welcome to the forum. Hope you find the information you need, but if not, then please do ask.

Hope you find a 4200 / GS with your name on it.

Cheers, Miles.

Hi Ian, welcome to the forum....Good choice of car......Where abouts are you as I am also in South Wales....

I'm from Caerphilly

The Gransport is currently 2nd on my list Its behind a R34 GTR which I have wanted since I was a kid but a recent test drive of it left me feeling disappointed.

The first time I test drove a 350Z i knew instantly that I wanted it & I ended up keeping it for 4.5 years.

I'm hoping to get out next week to look at a few & hopefully test drive a gran sport & a 911

I've just seen a youtube video of one thats been decatted & has a Tubi fitted - definatley sounds like something I would drive. My Z measured 122db at 4.5k rpm when it was n/a so im pretty used to a loud car

Will check out the larini systems

...the only bit of advise the forum offers is......................................

No ifs..........

Buts.................

Excuses or........................anything else..............

Get an independent inspection done of any potential purchase.

350Z upgrade

Hi Ian

The same move I made - haven't regretted it at all, although miss the K1 exhaust I had on it. So I have just arranged for straight through pipes to replace the stock boxes.

Got a pic of the Z?

 

[IanP]

I remember the name & the car from 350z-uk

Heres a few pics of how mine finished up

HKS supercharged, 420 BHP. 350 ft/lb Everything apart from fuelling & mapping done by me

Are there any reccommended places to check a car over for me?

Did any UK cars come in white? I've seen a few on youtube but they were all US cars.

 

[Parisien]

Ian...will post up a list of indie garages.......for you to check over....should be 1 or 2 near hopefully, if you take car to them....quite a bit cheaper than if they have to go to it.

Nice 350Z Ian.

Yes there are u.k Gransports which came in white however, white is one of the rarest colours, only 5 Gransports in white came to the u.k in rhd. White Gransports do command a premium as well.

 

[Andyk]

As Adam sadi you may be some time waiting for a white GS.......Most were black or grey (New GS buyers were not very adventurous).....

Ian, thanks for sharing the pics of your 350Z.....Don't see many convertables about....

 

[GransportFan1]

Black was the most popular colour followed by grey so if you want a darkish colour there will be plenty of choice. Blue was also a fairly popular colour, blue Gransports come for sale quite often.

 

[dem maser]

Thought silver was the most popular......

 

[GransportFan1]

Nope, Black was Dem. Silver is a popular option but Black was the best seller.
