This? http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivetrain/80307-7at-3-692-gear-review.html Question is why? More than happy with the ratios as is, the lower gears are lower than the 6MT.

Update? How did the test drives go?

Looks good, big fan of that lip on the 350

I went to watch the V8 Supercars at Albert Park, Melbourne. Awesome racing, and the noise! Happened to be a support race there at the same time, F1 I believe, very, very quiet by comparison and not quite so much of a spectacle There was a full range of official Nissan/Nismo clothing available on the Nissan stand. The prices and quality were extremely good as well, I thought it might have been available worldwide?

Very, very nice! Awesome mods and very tastefully done, of course! I hope to pick up the mag when I get back in the country, should be a good read.

Very good advice...from experience CM will have 'em on your doorstep within a few hours Also, a lot easier to accomplish on a warm day when the plastic is more pliable.

Trust me, you're not getting enough 'fun' lol.

Kev, you need a Snickers, you turn into a right Diva when you're hungry! I've got a Juke as well, bought it the same time as the 370 cos the wife wanted a 'white car as well' I can see where you're coming from but...it's still a Juke.

I recently picked up one of these, windproof, showerproof soft shell fleece with removable hood. Surprisingly good quality. Just wondering if you could supply these?

Thanks for reply, so is the Mobil 1 not recommend by you guys? Looks like Fuchs titan race 5w30 it is then. Topics like this just run and run, but it's all good as it's what forums are for Below is a cut 'n paste from another forum... And yes, Mobil 1 is currently 20% off at Halfords but still works out cheaper if you use their trade card instead. Hi Ian To be honest, while it's under warranty, there isn't really anything better than the Mobil 1 0w-40. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-913-porsche-porsche-a4... When it's out of warranty, one of the ester based 5w-40 synthetics will be a better option, but for now the Mobil is as good as anything (although the Fuchs GT1 is just as good an oil and cheaper at the moment). Regards Tim OPIE OILS From all the evidence on here and elsewhere, Opie are a real authority on oils. If they recommend Mobil 1, then I think it's fair to say there's nothing much wrong with it. I'd also assume Porsche know enough about their own cars not to recommend an oil that will damage the engines. They'd have to be really dumber than dumb to do that.

Did you really post that or did some big boys make you do it? No, seriously that was good mate.

It might be you need to spend some time in the gym I am a regular gymmer!! as a result, I like my tops tight Fair enough, I'm sure when you bulk up though you'll find you will need to go up a size. I could wear my kids top but trust me it's not a good look

Yep, 2 x large please!

+1 On that...how fast was the kerb going? I just hope all is OK and that you get it sorted to your satisfaction, good luck

gstraw, netnomad, Didn't realise you didn't asked for personal opinions on styling, legality or even your level of intelligence. It's certainly not in my nature to comment negatively on anyone's chosen 'mods'...so I'll say, it's your car so do what you want Probably not best to post any pics

.Griff. From your opening post, you've done the right thing and have been researching the 370 for months. I imagine you're now well aware of any 'issues', and let's be honest the major one seems to be the odd problem manual gearbox. Having spent more time on Zed forums than I care to admit to and as far as I'm aware, to date there hasn't been any problems with the auto transmission, either in the UK or the US, I'm sure someone will put me right on this... I can honestly say that to date I've had zero problems with my auto, I guess that's what you want to hear Like you, I was set on a manual and had test driven a couple, I was certain it was the car for me. However, I was then offered the opportunity to try an auto and thought 'what's to lose', post test drive I parked up at the PDI bay, kept the keys in my pocket, walked into the dealership and said 'I'll take it'. I guess you'll need to drive both, factor in your subject knowledge, the opinions you'll receive from this forum, then go for it! Good luck mate and let us know how you get on .

Right then, all of you stop this as I've seen through your cunning plan! You're preventing me from modding my 370, I should be under it and not on this forum. Today is ARK-GTF springs, Whiteline adjustable drop links, Eibach camber arms and toe bolts day...these will compliment the new Eibach HD sway bars Just awaiting delivery of the next batch of mods now, where does it all end

...and when they're both going at 30mph, there's very little between them. The manual coupé is quoted as 0.3s quicker to 62mph, but I doubt you'd really notice much difference. They both have their good and bad points so it'll come down to personal preference in the end. For me, it was the manual 'box or nothing - not ready for an automatic just yet. It's a bit clunky from cold, and can be difficult to drive smoothly at low speeds, but once it's warmed up a bit it's very direct and both the lever and the clutch have a good weight. The SynchroRev system on the manual is pretty damn awesome too. The SynchroRev system on the auto is pretty damn awesome too..... Even better with a manual as you choose when to downshift and do it a little early for the extra roar - it always going to make you smile and the misses scowl You've not driven the Auto then, you choose when to down shift on the paddles, on the up shift you also hold onto the revs as long as you like.

Nice one! ^ ^ The 'Auto/Manual box' debate just runs and runs... I think what swayed it for me was that my 350HR manual had issues with the 'box, Nissan very kindly installed a new one with no fuss. There have been some issues with the 370 manual box, no surprise really, but as far as I'm aware nothing from the auto either on this side of the pond or the other, just preparing to be corrected here! And at the end of the day I had the choice of either and still preferred the auto, It's a Marmite thing I guess. To be honest I don't use the paddles too often but when I do it seems to encourage 'spirited driving', and of course for either box the SynchroRev is a very nice addition.

I'm currently awaiting delivery of an Ings replica lip, as soon as it's here and painted etc I'll post pics.

Should have gone to spacesavers...

PM me if you do want one, I'm currently in San Deago and intend to get one so an extra one wont be a problem
