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

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Physically, you'd expect it to turn the motor 11/8ths faster than a standard one, but I'm not sure of specifics

      Ironically the GTT was quite reliable in the 7 years of ownership. From memory I've only had to replace a radiator and coilpacks out of inconvenience

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15
