Hey guys,

Im thinking of buying one of those for my weekend "fun" car.

I know that Z is much newer and probably more reliable in sense that its Aus delivered and usually untracked.

Some things that I will/wont do:

Will not wonna mod it (just want a stock quickish car)

Will go for weekend drives as I have a corolla as a daily car

Ive never driven a Z before but have been in a few R34 GTTs... how do they compare when driven? Handling and acceleration wise?

If there is a child forum on here for Zs, please show me.

Thanks

Hrmm if you keep both cars stock I would go the 350z. Otherwise if its modded I would go the R34 GTT.

Stock acceleration times should be similar but handing wise the 350z should be better.

If you don't plan to mod it, then 350Z is a better package straight out of the box. I have a 350GT which is very similar to the Z and they are awesome cars for those weekend mountain runs or lazy cruises...

you might wanna ask those guys at the Z forums for opinions on the Z:

I've had both, I got rid of my 350z 06' track model for my r34 thuogh... and i love the r34 10x more then i ever loved my Z.... The Z is alot more nicer feel cos of the leather and everything about it.. but the r34 is more of an agresive feel since mine has over 200rwkw.. but you sound like more of a 350z person.. Go the 350z but i choose an r34 turbo anyday of the week..

Straight out of the box, 350Z is alot better in everything, except lack of turbo and has two seats.

But if you can find a nice example of R34 GT-T coupe, mildly modded, clean and low kms, maybe it's worth a look.

Or maybe you could consider V35 coupe? :/

Good luck.

Now, bang for your buck; would you buy a 350Z or a 370GT?

All I can say is I got the 370GT sedan with the 7spd box, and its a gem.

Probably cost around the same as a used 350z. There fast and feel upmarket.

Agreed.

370GT (coupe or sedan) are really good-looking cars, both look and performance wise. I would still prefer 370GT coupe to 370Z.

The GT is so rare it turns more eyes than a 335Ci that costs twice more

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
