Hey everyone, been looking at a few cars lately.. 350z in particular.

I don't know much about them apart from them being an NA 3.5L 6 and that they have a track and touring model..

What do you guys think about them performance and handling wise?

Is there many options when modifying like skylines or are you limited?

Basically just looking at some general info on them.

Thanks guys.

In terms of value for money the 350z ranks just above having a haemorrhoid. lolz na they aint bad but the engine just dosent have enough grunt, they handle well and have great brakes though.

The interior looks like i made it.

In that price range you can have an r33 gtr, r32 gtr with money for mods and maintenance.

LOL at the comments haha. Like I said I didn't know anything about them, thats why I asked.

I'm looking for something a bit newer then r33 and r32 gtr's lol. What else really is there for for around the same price range as the 350z?

Preferably a smaller car also, but not essential, Something with quite some potential to modify, aswell as being reliable!

If you don't mind imports, then it'll be better to get the V35 Skyline as they're exactly the same engine and drivetrain, a tad slower, but the interior build quality is a lot better (some plastic dash pocket cover on 350Z are very plasticky - as demonstrated in Top Gear's review), which I hardly found any tacky clicking plastic cover on my V35 (all are nicely padded for a soft click on closing/opening). And again, you get 2 extra seat for 2 extra mates at the back...

But mod wise, if you're willing to spend big, there are tuners out there selling twin turbo kit or a s/c kit. But be prepare to fork out enough money to spend on a brand new korean small car on top of your purchase.

yeah Ross i rekon owning a V35 would be awsome! Iv seen some nice ones around!!

Id take that over the 350 anyday...

No chance not a fan of the V35 period lol.

Made up my mind after speaking to a few people and im gonna go for an evo. They are a great car in my opinion also very practical.

As a bonus my workshop of choice loves them :D

Thanks for ya help guys :P

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
