Lee that was always a good car I know it was really well looked after. If its anything like your classic you will put your stamp on it and improve on perfection. What happened to the 350z are they any good?

Nice car Lee, I can't really tell from the pic of the engine bay but is that a VTA valve?

If it is then I'd change it for a factory recirculating valve, but that is just me.

You will soon get used to the more grown up feeling that a newage gives you.

Saw that, they do both VTA or recirculating versions - I think the one on Lee's car is a VTA.

already put a lot in to it as it had full sticker kit on it when i bought it

and spent a little on some small bits like grill badge and so on

350z was great car but needed more seats as my 3 little ones were all fighting over who was having a ride in it so know all 3 can now go together in the scoob
