My other half used to run an awful lot and got herself entered for the London Marathon. She managed 17 miles before her knee gave out. My hat is off to any non-professional who manages 26 miles! Good luck and nice one for picking a local animal charity

Nice looking Z.

Typical Nissan!

Whatever happened to the Nismo test drive you were supposed to be having?

Guess it all depends on your line of work. In my line of work dishonesty of any kind reflects very badly on a person, so even if you just class it as a harmless fib it wouldn't go down well if it came out. But from most people's replies it looks like you've nothing to worry about.

Scumbags. Poor guy flew through the air like a rag doll.

Welcome to the forum.

Hmmm. The mk1 doesn't have the nice red button surround. It would look good with the GTR start button. If you can confirm exact price, I'd be interested in one.

How much are they?

Still one of the best looking 370s. Enjoy.

Agreed. Definitely not a standard exhaust.

I think the 370's exhaust is an exception to this rule. I'm guessing most people who buy these cars have done at least some research and know what to expect i.e. a pathetic sounding exhaust. I often see 370s advertised as having an aftermarket exhaust, even by dealers. If I was buying again now, I'd consider a decent aftermarket exhaust as a bonus.

I remember Eddie Murphy telling Oprah Whinfrey years ago in an interview that he wouldn't data a white woman. That attitude always struck me as strange and irresponsible thing to say in public. You can imagine the reaction if a really high profile white actor (he was seriously famous at the time) said he wouldn't date a black woman.

Handsome pair!

I get car sick if I have to sit in the back seat of a car on a normal journey. No manly man points for me I guess.

I think your car would benefit from some Z badges. Pic of mine . Got them from Tarmac Sportz.

I've been covering my Nismo for two years because it lives out on the street. The paintwork is absolutely fine. Don't be put off by horror stories. As said above, you just need to make sure the car is clean before the cover goes on. I suspect a lot of people give up on a cover because it can seem like a real pain putting it on, taking it off etc but with some practice it's easy. Just don't try doing it in a high wind!

Having owned both types of 370, the handling is by far the most noticeable difference.

Nice

I'd have to be dead myself before I'd buy a Cilla Black album!

Sorry to hear that. Stay strong.

Shame - he was really good. Since I hit 40 I've had quite a few direct experiences of people getting cancer. Those ads keep telling us about how many people survive it these days. All of the people I've known with it have died. Vile disease. I guess they will come up with a cure one day.

Only thing I'd change is the seats ( but I think you already did didn't you Yep, for the red 40th Anniversary ones.

Thanks I'm tempted to go that route one of these days.

Great thread and build, have loved reading this. I'm looking at getting the Nismo front end on my 370z, would you recommend it and in terms of paint will the whole front end need spraying? By spraying the whole front end you presumably mean painting the bumper and blending into the surrounding panels? I doubt this would be necessary, as there is usually a slight difference in shade between the plastic and metal anyway. Some white Zs and GTRs have badly mismatched bumper to body colour. For some reason, the difference is particularly noticeable on white. Although the match on mine was quite good, when I had my bumper re-sprayed following a minor car park scratch I ended up with a better body to bumper match than the factory! Pre-re-spray - note slightly duller bumper colour Better match post re-spray
