Newbie 40th owner
 

Hi all, just ordered from Darkpath my id plates for my 40th, can't wait to have them. I bought the car in suburb of Montreal for a good price,comes from Santa Clara California don't know how it wound up here, it's #570/1000. i'm very happy to own this dream car. it's a bit rough,last owner did not love her as much as me. Just Had the wheels redone for curb dammage on all 4 and they came out perfect. i'm going crazy seing her in the garage, for the moment right now weather is like HELL here -20C, need some advice for my drivers seat leather, worn and want to know if it's fixable if anybody got it fixed before?
i'm also waiting for delivery of a Stillen Gen3 intake, i also bought a Nismo exaust, just hope it will make a small difference.
hope to share with you all.

Congrats :tup:

This is what mine looked like before and after. I don't know how bad yours is without seeing pictures.

Thanks guys for your answers. Mults it looks like yours but much worst i think, i'm including some picks but please tell the secret of this magic trick you did. thanks!
i think last owner had pants made of sandpaper :-)

I actually found a leather repair place in Cleveland that did the fix for me. They had to repair the leather first and then it was colored with a specially mixed dye. If I remember, it cost about $280. This was for the time to repair, and then $90 to specially mix the color. It turned out really well, but I got it fixed a week before I put it away for the winter, so I don't know how it will hold up. The repair place said that it should last a long time, but only time will tell.

Thanks, i'll be searching for that type of repair shop as soon as everything melts here.
thanks a lot for the info :-)

Welcome aboard - from New Brunswick!

Anyone have a really good way to repair chips on the car? Been highwaying a lot and getting more and more front end chips.

I also get in and out of the vehicle different than I did when I first got it. Back then, I would just slide in and drive. Now, whenever I get out of the vehicle, I put the seat all the way back as this gives more room for my hips to clear the seat. Also, I noticed that when I wear my cell phone on my left side, it may have added to the wear in the seat.

your best bet is to get the front resprayed by a shop you could do it every few years to keep it looking great :tup: mine is also going to need a respray soon. still looks great but drivers me nuts while detailing it up close and personal, you can see every little ding in it! I also have a couple chips on the hood I want fixed :ugh2:

welcome and congrats

About how much will a front in respray cost? I have a couple chips in the hood as well

Congrats on your purchase!

You bought yours around when I got mine back in 2011....it was hard just driving it into a garage and waiting till spring :(

Hopefully you can meet up with some other Z's in Montreal and other areas. There is Z Society and MontrealVQ....

thanks ! just received my intake, gonna try installing it in my small, very small garage this weekend. Can't wait for weather to change, i'm going nuts seing that buty in hibernation.
i'll be waiting for an invite for a meet . don't forget me :-)

Its tough but its around the corner! I just hope they start working on patching up the roads by MID March!

For sure I will let you know! I have been trying to get more 370's in the group as there are lots of 350 and G37's/G35
