Anyone ever owned one? My car has sold and ill need a replacement in a month or so , really taking a fancy to these..
I haven't driven one properly yet, but got my eye on one. Still thinking about a Subaru, only insurance putting me off a little. The 350z I'm looking at is a 2005 one.
Cheers again :-)

great car but not so good in the winter being rwd :happy2:
-
Cheers mate, you owned one? Would stick some winter tyres on , the Beemer is faultless with them on hopefully they'd do the job on one of these too
-
did a trackday at Anglesey recently and there was a modded 350Z that went very very well :happy2:
-
Crashed the same one you did at the Oulton drift thing, you said it was crap... :grin:

not owned one friends have thou!
-
I like these :happy2:
It'll be fine on winters, if anything it'll be a little better as the LSD will help spread the traction.

Found a really nice one , silver with tan leather , 35k miles , gt pack. Looks great as is but think carbon wrap the little spoiler on the rear , black wheels and mirrors and it'd look excellent !
They look pretty nippy on paper too !

Saw a 2005 one of those for sale in a garage here in Ireland a while back, was a lovely example and the garage was asking 8k euro's.
Thats prob around 6.5k queens money.
The reason high powered petrols are so cheap here is our motor tax system, it would cost 1500 euro to tax the 350z for a year.
My gti costs me 660 euro to tax for the year, crazy all together!!!
But yes, i would love to own one!

the engine is brilliant easily modded stock is pushing 300bhp

I had a 350 for a couple of years before my ed30, loved it except the rfl costs and was totally useless if there was any snow lying! I had it parked up for 8 weeks for that reason
Economy isn't terrible for the type of car and sounds great. Not many mods to be done if that's your thing tho
-
Would go mad modding , just powder coat the wheels, nice cat back , maybe a intake or something ..
Nothing too negative by the sounds if it then :smiley:

Mate of mine had one of the first NISMO version in a really nice blue with 19inch wheels.
Was a stunning car and went well and had superb note when on throttle.
He said it was a bit on the dear side to run and was a bit twtchy in the wet,but he wishes he had kept it.I wasn't keen on the looks of them at first,but now they are starting to grow on me and I would probably have one,but not as a daily.
-
An intake doesn't do much more than add noise which I actually felt was needed in the mid range. I had an 06 plate and made a few tweaks and a remap and recorded 299.8bhp. It does go well but mpg isn't fantastic
I do regret selling it sometimes
-
Not for me I'm afraid.... I wouldnt want a datsun :signLOL:
-
May not be the route you want to take but my local nissan stealer is offering 0% finance with 5k deposit on a new 370,
Just thought id say incase :happy2:
The nizmo 350 is really nice, wheels look great and the blue is stunning
-
Meant 'wouldn't ' go mad modding ..
Doesn't bother me that its a Nissan at all , I'd have any brand car as long as I like the particular car..
They look great modded a little. I've gotta have a good drive In one and see what they're really like !
What's the mpg like if driven reasonable on motorway journeys ..

Haha the number of times I had that thrown at me

I'm trying to stay cheap , my budget is creeping up and up haha. Got my eye on a 630i convertible :ashamed: need my head looking at

Around town don't expect more than 22ish on a motorway cruise you can get 30max

Buy my 135i. One careful owner, and me too.

Good to know :-)
Got my eye on a couple, but just need a good test drive in one to make sure ..

I had one for 4 years, absolutely loved it. Always made every journey special, get noise when you fire them up from cold and the exhaust note gets richer and deeper as the car warms up. Used to see 30mpg on a motorway run jogging along at 70ish :wink: . Did a couple of runs into europe with it and was great in the Alps and Dolomites. :happy2:
My mate always used to thorw the Datsun line at me, then we did a track day and he went quiet when he couldn't shake me in his Z4M. :wink:
-
A friend had one of these and he loved it!
Honestly was such a nice car to be in, so sturdy and responsive.
