I love it i reckon its hot !

And the best part about it is when it comes out its going to be so cheap and all these dreamers thinking they will get 40+ for their 350z's will have to price drop them which means i can go get a good priced 350z :)

which is exactly why the 370 will not make the 350 drop in price too much.

I bought a Feb 2007 track 350Z a few months ago for $50k, the bloke paid $72 on the road plus $5k of wheels and $3k of suspension. I reckon $50k was reasonable with only 18,000 kms on it.

look the track ones will hold their price but i mean on car sales some people are asking 25k for a 350z with no roady.. they will drop a bit maybe then ill snap one up

It's hard to tell but my gut feeling (and comments from USA) tells me this will look much better than the 350Z in the flesh.

It had better because I was never a fan of the 350Z, especially it's proportions and that sad droopy rear end. Also interior is much better than 350Z which was crying out for better materials. More power (around 30 rwkw) and a bit less weight, shorter wheelbase and stiffer chassis should make it much much better car. My guess is this car is almost a whole second quicker on the 400m.

In my opinion the 350Z was 10k too much for it's performance and interior - didn't sound all that good either. And those lights on the 350Z are no better than the 370Z.

370Z needs wheels with maybe 10mm more offset on the front and 15mm more on the back and it'll be a winner. I'll take mine in that "bubble gum" blue thanks.

Also love the throttle blipping on downshifts AND that's it's switchable.

I think the 370Z will redefine "affordable" sports cars again - and not a moment too soon. I don't want to trade my $10k R33 GTST for a slower, less interior room, crappy plastics 2004 350Z for 40K. I'd rather trade a $5k R33 GTST for an as quick 2009 370Z in 4 years time.

Stock, the car sounds boring. But then, if the Infiniti G37 / V36 Skyline 370GT that the 370Z shares its platform is anything to go by, the 370Z isn't going to sound much better.

With a (noise legal) catback, the 350Z gets the note it should have had from the factory...but then that's true for almost every affordable car on the market.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
