At the end of the day it all depends on what you want to do with the car. Do you want to mod it, are you bothered about small interior differences, is tax an issue, do you have £5000 to spend or £9000, both are great cars, both are very reliable and both have their small issues. There are quicker cars but in my opinion there arnt many that have the looks to go with it. As has already been said, overall performance is very similar, its just delivered in different ways. One thing i would say is the HR and Rev-up headlights are way better...but other than that its personal preference.

Plenty of these still available chaps and chapesses!!

Looks great!

Do you have a photo??

Yeah thats a good idea, i can nick your sideskirts when youre not looking!

Perfect!! Great choice!!

Nice!

Id speak to Horsham Developments, Jez, he'll be able to give you some good advice.

Thats true!

Ideally wrap material should be fitted to a surface with a glossy finish but depending on how matte or not it is, it can make a difference to the life of the wrap material. Wrapping material like Arlon has a heavier adhesive and will stick to almost anything. Some wrapping material comes with a grey or white back meaning the base colour wont bleed through. Printable wrapping material has a grey back to it but has a white face. Black material will hide the base colour far better than say a white or yellow material. Hope this helps! As Coldel said, If youre getting the panels prepped and sprayed you should wait until it has properly gassed out before applying the wrap. The bodyshop should be able to give you a guide on this.

Not a bad idea, i find that useful on sites like Ebay, they have that option.

Great to meet everyone today, weather held too, well done Martin for arranging this yet again.

Just been told i can upload directly to the site!! Lets see!!

Aghhhh took a fair few pics but Photobucket has changed its third party hosting agreement...you have to pay to embed now! Anyone know of another site?

Well worth the drive, you'll love em. Great choice!

Not trolling, just sayin how it is. There isnt that much difference between them in performance. Each have their fors and againsts. All great cars, depends on your budget and what you want to do with them.

Although as standard theyre pretty even performance wise. But youre right. I mentioned modding as if thats the way he wants to go then obviously the DE is a more moddable (is that a word!?) engine. ...even though i didnt buy mine to mod it!!...£5000 later...

Your budget is a DE, dont look at anything else as it may may a dog. Also the DE has the cheaper tax. I would have thought you can fine a decent DE (up to 2005) for that price. All the models are great, there isnt a bad 350z model. Id try Pistonheads. Scan around and take your time, its easy to get excited and go for the first one you see. You can try here too, that way youll be able to see some sort of history from the owner if theyve posted up on here. Good luck!

DE for modding, cheaper tax, HR/Rev-up for better (slightly) interior and bonnet bulge and superior headlights. Performance the same, HR had slightly more power but was heavier. Other than that, theyre pretty much equal.

Have you noticed any improvement in performance? You didnt say...unless ive missed it!!

What about us blokes that love to wear a little nail varnish!!?

Its a waste of time really, you can feel when to change gear with a little practice and experience...imo!!
