Put deposit down on a 350Z yesterday
 

Travelled 200 miles round trip to look at one in kuro black, 54 plate with GT pack - Rays, black leather, cruise, Bose stereo. Car had 1 owner from new and covered only 14.7k miles in 2 years. P2 service had been carried out a month ago.
Did the deal but insisted on them changing the rear tyres as they had only a few months life left in them.
Going to pick it up next Saturday. Can't wait :)

Enjoy :) Mines going to have to stay on the garage if it snows, but at the moment I'm enjoying the tail wagging action :D Great fun car to drive despite its weight. Enjoying every minute of it.

Enjoy it. Best car I've had. I might even have another, unless a T25 or new M3 lure me in ~They look and drive great. And it will keep up with most cars even Scoobies and M3's.

I'd have loved an Sti6 though!! My Scoob was MY99WR

I really like the look of one these for a next car :)

I had one on test drive, we nicknamed it the "zzz" and the power was nice.
The looks were not though, like a poor mans Audi TT. People were looking at me, but for all the wrong reasons!
I took it back and didnt look back. Painted nice black lines on the tarmac though:cool:

Mans TT ? There's an oxymoron if I ever heard one :lol1: 350z for men, TT for girls.

Agree with that one. Astraboy, what are you on about! How do you know what people were thinking when looking at you? I wish I had that for a 6th sense :)

It was the sneer which most of them did after they clapped eyes on it that gave it away for me. Given the choice, I would go for the S15.

Congrats mate. Fantastic cars.

Lovely car.
I was very impressed when I tested one.

Just needed a bit more space in the back for surfboards so got a Golf R32 instead.

I came so close to getting one of these when they first came out. Couldn't find a dealer who would do a sensible trade-in deal so walked away. If you can live with the boot they are a cracking car. Good residuals too.

A shame they are not 200kg less, then it would be a proper car :thumb:

Agreed - 1500kg is a wee bit heavy for a 2 seat sports car!

But then the Golf was overweight too.

I thought it was 1575kg

Golf, sorry, whats that got to do with this thread?

Read my first post Davy - I tested a number of cars including the 350Z and decided on an R32 Golf.
Both have big block N/A sixes.

Or are you going to have yet another dig?

Yawn.

AB, given some of the 'esoteric' stuff you have driven, I find it hard to beleive you give a toss about the opinion of those who think a TT is a good idea ?

Nice car mate, enjoy :)

Some strange comments on here!

Drivers car - good choice :thumb:

Thrashed one at Bedford Autodrome a while back - sideways fun...:luxhello:

Driver's car........in a fat assed sort of way. Needs to lose 300 to 400kg to be a proper sports car.

Top car, top colour:)

It'll be like this one then:

I've never looked back since selling the Scoob. I'm sure you'll find it so much easier to live with. I get cheaper insurance, more MPG - and of course it looks and goes soooooo well:)

Take a look here for a decent 350 forum: 350z UK - Forum, Owners Club, News, Gallery, Events, and More...

Enjoy:luxhello:

Nice car indeed - and they sound great :)

YouTube - RICA powered Volvo 855 T5 Auto v's Nissan 350Z

Already on that forum + another ;)
Going to take Friday off work and pick it up then.
Sold my Scoob last January. Been in a banger diesel since then which "died" in October. Peddle power to work since October so I feel like I deserve something nice again. :)

PS - Too heavy too be a sports car? It's meant to be a GT. :)
