Hi mate to be honest I'm still getting used to it! It seems a harder ride but I'm not sure if there's something up with my suspension (CS Is gonna check it out when I get the zorst fitted on Saturday).

The clutch is nowhere near as heavy as the 350 mate.

The steering is something I'm still getting used to feels a bit more solid in my opinion at the mo and more responsive.

As for the handling mate I miss that from the 350z I liked the feel of the 50 the way you felt the back end curving out behind you...this part is missing from the 370z but by your description perhaps this is a good thing for you haha

So sold my 350z in 6 days and I was given a Fiat Coupe by my dad to drive (2.0l 20v) didn't quite live up to what i'm used to. Today I bought my 370z and what a car!

I got back from Leicester at 2:30pm after a 6am start on the train; once i'd got back there was a bit of mud on her so thought i'd give her a "quick wash" ended up snow foaming, washing n waxing.

Every time I drive it I love it that little bit more...thought i'd put up some photo's of her for you all to enjoy.

Cougar Store will be fitting my Cobra soon as I cant handle the quietness of the stock 370, i'm going for the 5" Slash Cut option.

Hi mate so do you do the burnt tip Invidia Gemini slash cut?

I'm just on the way to view and hopefully purchase a 370z and thought I'd see if I could scoop a deal up for a second hand zorst.

I'm after the full system cat back on either of the following two:

Invidia Gemini Ti slash cut

Or

Cobra Exhaust

I'm still unsure on which I'd prefer any advice would be appreciated. After watching vids I'm concerned that the cobra sounds a little tiny compared to the Gemini but this could just be video quality...

I called the finance company and they confirmed that it is paid off so please ignore the above post

Some bad/good news I've just lost 20 quid but. Saved £15,750.00. HPI check just come back and it has outstanding finance on it.

If you are going to use a independent inspection don't use RAC. The dealer I just bought my car from uses RAC to inspection on all there cars prior to sale and thus come with a 3 month warranty. RAC missed a clunking noise at bite point from the rear of the car. Which turned out to be lose bolts on the drive shafts. The dealer paid for the fix instead of RAC as, RAC said it must have been like that when then inspected it. And thus would not pay for any issues, the dealer was worried when Nissan said it might be the diff at £3k! My reply was why did the RAC you not say anything then!!! They probably hardly look at your car and only pick general issues not common to a 370.

 

I was worried to, expensive sports car with potential big bills if something is wrong. I have seemed to got away with a good car apart from @*!# tyres and kurbed alloys. If I was in you position I would agree if you buy it to get it inspected at cougar sport, they will know all the issues if any as they will see more cars than Nissan.

Interesting read mate..I've just checked the mot and seems solid on that part. No advisories. When I said check I just meant a hpi check (almost put hip check then...predictive text is a nightmare). I spoke to CS and they said would be fine but they are massively busy so would need to be the afternoon. I'll be getting my cobra fitted there though so they can let me know if I have been robbed then haha!

Nervous yet more excited right now

Is Cougar store in Leicester?? I was going to buy and get them to fit my Cobra anyway, maybe I could get them to do it on that day (If it turns out ok and they aren't too busy ). Wioll be Saturday I think mate...he says he may have a buyer on Friday first. Obviously dont change your plans for me ill let you know as soon as I know and if you are free and up for it that would be amazing.

Also thanks Brayster

I'm sure a member would take you around in there's so you know how a good one should be/drive

 

But like the guys say follow your gut if your not happy walk away plenty for sale

 

If your anywhere near me I'll have a look with you

Let me know if your willing to do this mate i'd be more than happy to get you a couple of pints in for the help . If its too far not to worry still appreciate the offer

It's in Leicester mate i'm going to be travelling down from Leicester. The guy has already knocked 750 of the asking price so it's not really that I don't agree with the pricing due to the damage..more that I am just concerned there could be more serious underlying mechanical issues.

I am thinking of going with an insured check rather than a cheapo one due to the cost of the car maybe AA or someone. I used mycarcheck on the 350z but I dont think your insured if something is wrong on the report with them?

Hi Guys

I need your advice on a first time private viewing I have coming up..

Just a couple of concerns:

The car was advertised as perfect showroom condition on Autotrader and eBay (Only on Autotrader now) however when I asked about curbing he said it does have some on one wheel...I asked for pictures but he said they were too dirty to see the curbing (Why not go clean them then?). He has sent me the pics today and the curbing isn't the best goes round about a quarter of the wheel.

The guy also said that as he works for army and is at the barracks in the week (Fair enough no prob with this) I would be viewing with his brother, I said I would rather wait till he was present so that if I liked it I could take it away then and there..the guy said that he has signed the registration document already so there would be no issues (This is when I started getting a bit concerned). My theory is though as long as I get a check done on the car then this shouldnt be an issue really. - Also he has just said that it will be fine to do the viewing this Saturday with him present, however it has taken a lot of stubbornness from myself to achieve this.

The service history wasn't mentioned on the advert so I asked about it....it has FNSH up to last October but he missed this due to being in Africa...the car is 2010 reg so personally I don't think the 4 month gap is to major a problem (I will have to get this done myself after buying it).

Basically this is the most money I have ever spent in my life so buying private in this price range is quite a high concern as i'm screwed if this goes wrong and just wanted to know what others thought...am I being paranoid? If the guy had put the curbing in the post rather than PERFECT SHOWROOM CONDITION I wouldnt have minded to much but it just begs the question....what else could be wrong??

Any thoughts/advice people would be appreciated

Cobra or Invidia Gemini people???

I can assure you that this one will give you the true experience mate...no dramas

Sad day for me today - The car is now sold...went to another member on the forum Mike Rosie. I'll be staying on the forum, driving a 2.0 Fiat Coupe until the right 370 comes up .

Anyone know how I mark the post as Sold?

Thanks GIXXER spent 6 hours on Saturday - Used a DA machine polisher I got for xmas - the whole shabang haha

Thanks mate...yeah I kept an eye on the post. Had a lot of interest however most are too far away from Chester.

Just to let everyone know i've updated the ad...

Would be interested to see what your views are mate...should be buying my 370z in the next couple of weeks and the exhaust is the first upgrade i'm planning. I've got a cobra on my 350 at the mo so this the one i'm siding with

Sadly the time has come for me to let my beloved 350z go as I need some cash to go towards my planned 370z purchase. I cleaned her up yesterday using the standard process – Wash, Clay, Polish, Wax so she is looking her best for all you potential future owners ).

I have only ever used Shell Nitro/V-Power throughout my ownership.

The car has a stone chip on the bonnet as well as the standard chips on the bumper which are to be expected from a car of this age. The bumper had been re-sprayed when I bought it however so it’s not that bad. There is some curbing on two of the alloys but it's not too noticeable. The only other negative I can think of is that the front right alloy badge disappeared at some point so I had to replace it with a Z badge (As per photo). This can easily be fixed however if required.

The car was bought from SparksCW on the forum just over 2 years ago.
