370 Nismo is manual only (unless the option has been added recently?) but pretty sure the non-nismo 370 offers auto.

Cheers Colin - looks the way in UK, but here's a (rather unfavourable) review of one in USA https://youtu.be/YmBfrB-A1X0?t=224  - and they did in Japan with the Fairlady Nismo from what I can see...

I’m sure that’s the case - the interior looks much nicer on the 2017s too - my 09 is pretty much identical to my old 350z - hardly any leather.

I got the speed thing out of my system in the first month of driving it, and for me the Z is a much smoother ride.... can’t speak for the newer GTRs mine’s an 09

Cheers - for me it’s too much power - and too noisy - I need a quieter engine to check my music mixes on, and never really bonded with it as much as I did my Z.  

Hey folks - so old time Z user here - traded in my 370 for an 09 GT-R 18 months ago, but have to say really missing the Z, plus my wife refuses to drive the GT-R (which is a bad thing as sometimes I need her MPV!).

So - it's going in the next month and am in the market for a newer 370Z (if anyone wants to trade for a new'ish Z btw I'm open to offers) - thing is I need an automatic - yes I know the thinking is that manuals are better but I want an auto - simple as that... 

Newb question but haven't seen any Nismo automatics for sale - did they ever do them in the UK?  I guess it's not a popular choice for most...

Cheers,

Ian

good plan - just checked and it's still unlocked so no auto-lock on mine - didn't realise locking with the key makes a difference will try that if it keeps going off - although maybe the heat has killed the suspect giant spider that was setting it off

Thanks guys has been 30mins since i unlocked and all silent - time for zeds of a different kind

Cheers - will have a look next time it goes off - if I leave it unlocked does it lock itself automatically after a few mins? Worth a try I guess - if someone steals it in the meant time it can wake them up all night for all I care right now!

Hi folks - my bloody alarm is going off every 20mins or so - and I really need to get a good nights sleep - probably a dodgy sensor or huge spider I dunno! - any way of switching it off?

sounds like a good plan thanks chaps :-)

another me too - can anyone close to Godalming/Guildford who's done this before help do mine? In exchange for large case of beer :-)

Ian

thanks guys I didn't realise it was unique to my car - no joy finding it, but just phoned Nissan who were most helpful, said if I pop the car in they can find the unique number and order another key which takes just couple of days apparently :-)

Ian

Hi folks excuse the newb question have my first flat tyre and realised I don't have a locking wheel nut socket - I'm assuming they're generic for the standard alloys (?)

Saw these on ebay http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=350+wheel+nut+socket anyone know if it's 17mm or 19mm?

Thanks,

Ian

forgot to mention the reg search for the insurance came up as a Fairlady, although the HPI check said it was a 350Z.

Also on the HPI there was a mialage discrepancy alert:-

Date recorded Recorded by Mileage reading Total

24-Feb-2006 NMR 8,500 8,500

27-Mar-2007 Trade Association 1 1

I'm optimistically taking that as someone incorrectly registered it as 1mile although is a little worrying.

Ian

That is definitely not standard - best to post up some more pics of the car - from the rear and close up of guages to fully confirm if UK or not.

 

The you tube clip made me laugh - when it said STOP - was waiting for a another comment to follow, like OUCH

heh lol!

Will take some better pics when I get chance, but there's some more still up at Pisonheads:-

Unusual to have 'speaking' reversing sensors

Thanks for the warm welcome folks - yes it's fitted with a Steel Mate reverse parking sensor

like this one:-

but with a Japanese voice. I take it that's not standard then?

Ian

Hey folks picked up my zed last Saturday loving it so far :-) 2005 in black Alezan Leather, 35k on the clock 2 owners £11,750.

Dealer told me it wasn't an import but the first clue was a Japanese voice on the reverse parking sensor!

Good to be here - loads of newbie questions but gonna hit the search button first before I inundate...

Hope to catch you guys later.

Ian

btw Here's some quick pics
