i tell'ya to get a 350z if you were going to put one of the turbo kits on it, otherwise i wouldn't bother and go for the sti, sorry love the nissans but can't go past a good turbo car :(

oooh its a close one and with my vote evened it up 50-50

if you had to buy one, right now today i would buy the sti due to the turbo however ive read some bad reviews about stis, but im sure they are great! and as soon as a 350x turbo came out of the factory i would sell the sti and buy the 350 without even thinking.

How about an RX7 instead :D

Nah....depends what you want it for, I'm no expert in the 350's specs/ etc etc.....but maybe the 350 would make a great cruiser, and the sti as greater track attacker/thrasher.

with all the cops around lately, I'd get a camry :(

Robertr,

Quote 'Also that leaves less 350's on the road for when I buy one. '

That is a good one.

I think we get the 195kw STI compare to 206kw in Japan. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but the torque are 343nm and 380nm respectively and I have seen Jap STI pass through the quarter mile in 12.5 sec's (Best Motoring). They also get the twin scroll turbo (Not twin turbo!) and the yanks gets the 2.5 Litre STI.

If you ask me how, I reckon the Jap STi gets more than 206 kw but because of the transport regulation they can't disclose anything more than 206 kw.

I like both cars but 2 doors and 2 seater on the 350Z, looks like I have to forget about taking my mother in law in it too. Hey, maybe that is a good idea after all.

(Wife walks in during this time.............................)

Oh, hi love, I was just kidding, I am. I am. Nooooooooooooooo!

Hey Vitz,

why not you stick with your Vitz instead of choosing either one of them MAHAHAHAHAH :P

I'll still stick with STi. The interior of 350z is sooo plasticky... apart from the steering wheels and the dash, every else is not done up to the standard. if you look at the edge of the door when it is open, you can see nissan has done a cheap job. even R33 GTR has better interior quality...

GO STi.... hangon, GO GTR!!!!!

350z

superb mid range. superb looks and handling

less pratical? who cares.

and there will NOT be a turbo varient of the 350z from the factory.

There is no need, since the GT-R is around the corner.

i head good and bad things about the subie, i dont hear bad things about the 350... it was designed well for its intended use

you dont buy a 350z to be a parramatta maccas boy racer. its about style and prestige. sure an sti might be faster, but its stil a wrecks, and everyone has one. if you wanna pull car average to hot chicks you go the sti, but if you wanna pull glamours you go the 350z :P

having said that, i have no car atm hehe

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
