Although I'm not yet an owner (I hope to be in a couple of months), one thing I've always done is a bit of performance tweaking.

From what I've read, it seems plenum mod, intake, exhaust and ecu remap are worthy of looking at.

From my few test drives, the handling doesn't seem to need much tweaking but perhaps a geo that suits your driving style may be sensible. I you're going to go faster you also want to consider the brakes, but from again a limited experience, the brakes seemed good in terms of feedback and power.

The next question is which year do I go for? A newer one or not! Definitely going for the GT however, I like my mod cons!

Hello and Will.

 

Not sure if you've already found the FAQ's, but here's a good thread to begin with: http://www.350z-uk.c...tential-buyers/

 

Good luck with your search

Cool - thank you.

And thanks again for the warm welcome! You seem like a nice bunch!

Thanks for the welcome!

I'm sure most of the questions I'm interested in have been posted (i.e. known issues (I've found this already), and tax brackets for different year cars)) so rather than ask a repeat question I shall do a lot of reading.

However, if anyone wants to suggest posts to read, or a general FAQ before becoming a Z owner then I'm all ears (eyes!).

FYI my budget is around 8k, which from what I've seen can get me a decent GT model (which is what I want).

Thanks,

Will

Hi all,

I haven't quite got my 350Z yet - however, I'm planning on purchasing one around September time or earlier if i find one I like.

I thought I'd sign up and have a look around, ask some (undoubtedly stupid) questions, and hopefully join you in the joy of Z ownership.

I've test driven several, and I have my mind set on one - whilst in my 30+ years of life, it won't be the most powerful car I may end up owning, there is something about it's characteristics that really struck a chord with me, and as a GT/Sports Tourer it's a great balance of power/fun and involved driving.

I'm looking at a 54-55 plate + the GT pack unless you can suggest otherwise - to me the GT pack offers all the mod cons I'm after.

I'm afraid I am a tweaker (more in terms of under the hood rather than sticking on halfords special) so will undoubtedly ask for recommendations on exhaust/intake/plenum/ecu tweaking. No superchargers quite yet haha!

Look forward to getting involved.

All the best,

Will
