I have had one jim(view my scooby and you will see it) was very good and was a JDM with the steptronic gearbox,cracking car to drive in the dry, was quite twitchy in the wet on corners although i think some of that was down to the tyres i had.
Services was quite reasonable as well and there was never any problems from the car except replacing tyres and one headlight bulb and i had it for over 2 years.

dont expect any space in the boot though, was even worse than i thought it was going to be,lol

Any other q's just ask bud.

I think they look good. Especially in blue met, 3.5 V6 and rwd have to be good. 2 seater only and under 300bhp however aren't so good.

However for the money I feel a Mustang GT is a far better car. More seats, bigger boot, a V8, faster, looks better and very similar running costs. Only downer is LHD, but I don't feel thats really an issue.

my little brother has one, he loves it, a great car with plenty of low down power, deceptively quick is right, and a bit of a fanny magnet as well if your into that kind of thing
His is a GT and has got factory fitted genuine Nismo suspension and exhaust, Brembo's, Orange leather, Bose Stereo and is a 6spd manual, really good all around package
He has just put it up for sale on pistonheads due to a change of financial circumstances
Nissan : lovely car!
If you are looking you won't find many nicer than this for the money

Likewise, I just sold my JDM Version ST, superb car, highly recommend one. Here's mine with the Scorpion exhaust on it

YouTube - Nissan 350z Scorpion Exhaust

They do turn heads and don't have the chavvy image of many cars

I've had mine for 18 months and echo most comments above.
Up to 30mpg on a motorway, 22 around town.
Quite a lazy beast, deceptively fast, but dosen't feel that quick having had Scoobys.
My rear tyres lasted about 9k although I didn't change them until £12k as I was enjoying the easy drifts too much!

Mine is a black 54 plate GT with black leather/orange stitching and rays wheels.

Have been itching for an Evo recently but trying to resist as today's fuel bills are frightening!
