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

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
