Seems like a good price tbh.
Yes it's not GT but if your swapping out the seats anyway all your missing is cruise and Bose.
S2k is a totally different car, z is more of a GT where as the S would be more a hoon round the track.
Yea man, I'm not bothered about the stereo or cruise control to be honest. I actually quite like the wheels that come stock too, just seen one done with em refurbed in black and they looked sick! (in a good way).
I'm going to get up early tommorow and check it out before work, I really need a test drive so I can see if it's for me or not. I don't expect it to be as fun as the s2000 for spirited driving but as long as it's good for a little blast when the conditions are right I'd be quite happy.
So tommorow I'm checking the Clutch and the service history to see if its had the big one at 55k.... anything else other than the usual?

Having owned both I found the s2000 was the better car, but that's what suited me. Everyone is different. You'll find most on here will disagree with me. And you'll also have all the people who've never owned an s2000 tell you its crap or a girls car. Drive both and see what suits you best. The zed is good but its heavy 300bhp sounds good but when you drive one it doesn't feel like 300bhp. Horses for courses and all that.
I'm yet to drive the Z so thats the first thing on my to do list.
The main thing thats grabbing my attention about this 350z at the minute is purely how close it is too me and that it's well priced. I'm currently getting the bus to work and it's a complete nightmare... the thought that I could just roll up to this garage and pick this Z up within the next few days is very appealing. It means not needing time off work to travel halfway across the country to view an s2000, I'd be in a much better position to wait and pick the perfect car if my current daily driver hadn't just died. All this coupled with the fact that the Z is much cheaper is swaying me at the minute.
Guess I'll have to see how I feel once I've drove one. Hopefully it will make the decision much easier.

ive driven the s2000 and to be honest I much prefer the grunt of the zed.yeah the breathing/exhaust mods and uprev remap should give you around 300hp and a lot better response.itl make it like a different car!
Wow, 300bhp! Not bad gains considering everyone says these cars are not great for tuning.
With regards to the GT thing.... I'd be looking to remove the seats for some decent buckets anyway... do the breathing mods, new wheels and enjoy. I could do most of this on the budget I have anyway, if I buy an s2000 I will have little left over after the hefty insurance premium. Must be honest I did fall in love with the s2000 on a test drive but I couldn't help but feel like it was a bit to impractical and expensive. The Z is certainly not a bad compromise.

My dad was not "nowhereman" haha. I took the name from the film about john lennon.... Anyway, back on track.
It's not a GT but as far as I can see their are not many differences anyway? Well, other than the wheels which I'd be changing asap regardless.
The guy I spoke to today said they would get it repaired before the sale, no problems.
My main gripe is I'm worried it's going to feel a bit flat compared to the s2000 but for the difference in price and insurance I think it might be worth while. I think the Z looks nicer too.
Will a straight thru exhaust, induction and a map spring a bit more life and throttle response to this car?
If anyone is near newcastle and fancies taking me for a spin in one I'd be over the moon

Hey! First post guys.
Just spent about 15 minutes writing a detailed thread about my situation and how I'm torn between an s2000 or a 350Z then pressed the "cancel" button by mistake, stupid place to put that!!!!
Anyway, to cut a long story short because I can't be arsed to type that again, what do you guys think of this 350z?
Looks well priced to me?
What do you think of this 350Z??
in 350Z General

Quick update guys.... I went to check the car over quickly before work today. Man these cars look nice in the flesh. The paint has seen better days tho, lots of stone chips on the bonnet and scratches and paint touch ups here and their.
How much should I be looking to knock off the price if they won't sort it for me? The wheels need furbed too.
Mechanically everything felt sound when I took it for a quick spin. My dad seems to think the cam belt will be due a replacement if it hasn't already been done... is this right or are these chain driven?
