Not so, anyone who remembers TOTB over the many many years would disagree with you and so would the results. It was JPN for the longest time. The R33 GTR was a milestone car at the nurburgring being the fastest production car ever in its day, now the fastest every day hot hatch is the Civic type r and has been for a number of years - reasonable money cars. Ten of the Best (TOTB), is a performance road car event aimed at finding the best all round car and drivers in Europe. Handling, top speed and a 1/4m drag strip are used to determine the best of the best, Ten Of The Best! German whitewash...... not even close. https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/124692-90s-jdm-appreciation-thread/?do=findComment&comment=1818514

I'm sure Brandshatch track days back in the 80's 90's when Britain actually built cars here were mainly Rovers, MG's, Ford's, Lotus, Vauxhall and TVR's - bit different to a worldwide successful movie about car tuning culture. That's the thing the 370z when new was circa 27k while the 987 Cayman S was closer to 44k (65% increase), when comparing the new car prices consideration has to be made. I personally think both the Z models for their price points, do an amazing job with what they offer.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the UK release for the Nissan 350z. Still in my opinion an utterly stunning car on the road, looks and sounds like nothing else. Let's start a thread with owners past and present single favourite 350z picture of their car. https://uk.nissannews.com/en-GB/releases/release-12154-z-start

I would disagree with that unless you've not explained it clearly. The 350z was a rival to the 986 Boxster S, S2000, RX8 231, TT 3.2. The 350z was late to the party however offered greater fire power for less money. The 370z was then a rival to the 987 S's, MK2 TT 2.0T, BMW Z4 3.0, GT86 and Peugeot RCZ. Obviously looks, price, cost to run, reliability, noise, availablity all play their parts. The Japan stuff is just a different ethos. You'd go to a BMW or Porsche meet and the cars are all the same, at a glance clones of each other whereas with a JDM sports car (loose term) the scene will be no two are a like. Different wheels, tyres, exhaust, suspension, spoilers, splitters, diffusers, seats, stereo not to mention engine tuning levels. Each is special and individual. Not saying one is 'better' than the other, however pointing out they're different flavours. The JDM car scene is like no other imo. Put it this way you'd have never of had a Stuttgart Drift movie worth seeing.

That's how you do it

Best she's ever looked!! That single exit must sound so fruity ☺️

If you take a near floor picture of the rear end, we should be able to tell you which system you have. With OE cats while they might pass an MOT, they're probably not flowing as well as when new so might nab a few hp. The below is worth a look also 👍 No bolt on n/a mods for the DE show much by way of gains, of course they all add up however this mod went a long way to improving engine pick up throughout the rev range. https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/111683-db-nissan-350z-gt-05/?do=findComment&comment=1833308

Absolutely amazing the finish you got doing all that work yourself, looks epic - very well done. More pictures out in the day light also when can.

Morning matey, not sure. It's been filled all week and left out so mighty cold I know that. For the first 30-40sec you body is screaming get out it's not worth it, then you settle in control the mindset and you're good. Not everything can be explained using data, resilience for example. If the Wim Hof method is good enough for the Novax Djokovic, its good enough for me 😃

Apologies, you are right I remembered the GT4 then forgot all about it even though it was a black GT4 I initially wanted.
-
Just to keep information correct, if you are fitting the newer lights it won't be a rev up engine.
-
For a giggle, il show you mine if you show me yours 😃
-
I wouldn't get caught up on power or performance differences, a 370z won't leave a early 350z (my dashcam bears witness) let alone the other newer engines in later 350z. I would get the best example your budget allows 👍

Midlands meet Hopwood Services, heading out for a drive and lunch 👍
