Do they fit 370Z?

How much?

The OP will make up his own mind through his own research. Meanwhile we all like different things. Check out my owners experience of the 370Z. Theres also the cheaper GT to consider. Highly moddable and Nismo parts if you wish to go that route. For example you could get a GT for 14k and get the Nismo kit and Steering wheel for little over 2k or other parts modded. Americans claim the GT is actually very close to the Nismo on the track. Sure the Nismo is more clout than "better". It is more special. Nismo are little over £20k a bit overpriced. There is one floating for £19999. Maybe go see the 987 and check out the Nismo on same day? There is a weight difference between the two cars that change the drive. 987 is around 1375kg minimum Nismo is around 1535kg at best 987 are relatively reasonable prices now. Could change quickly though 987 maybe youve seen the reviews already. Then go from there.

Thanks dude! Worst case scenario ill pick up a 370 convertible 😂.

A bit of sun helps.

Time has come to move on and try something else after 4 Zeds. Ultra reliable cars. Great car with a lot of character. More down low than the Nismo. If you dont want too many looks! Faster than the Nismo and Manual 370s and 350Z. Just Fully Serviced and 11 Months MOT. Including Coolant and Spark Plugs. Lots of pad left i had a look and inspected the discs. They're good for 10,000 miles more. Bodywork is in decent condition. Few stonechips and 2 barely visible keymarks. One On bonnet and one on drivers Wing. Wheels could do with a refresh. Generally they clean up well. Reasonable offers considered. Purchased from family owned Prestige Motors in Sheffield. 3 previous owners. One apparently a footballer hehe. Theres a bit history of the car. Owned for 1 year 2 months. Covered 10,000 miles. 52000 Miles 11 months MOT no advisories Just serviced with Coolant and Spark Plugs 0-60 in 4.7 seconds No mods OEM Fairly responsive as just serviced GT Edition with different camber and suspension setup from factory Paddle shift/7 Speed Auto Snow Mode (reduces power) No sport modes, just throttle position Heated Leather/Alcantara Seats Alcantara door cards Free new Y Pipe Free Nismo backbox Spare Steering Lock Paddle shifters Cruise Control Bluetooth connectivity Hard drive to store music USB Input, AUX Video Player Sat Nav Xenon headlights Price is £13999. Forum members price. Was originally purchased at £17500. I could have got a nismo at the time but wanted the Auto. Been on a few roadtrips and the cars been the perfect cruiser. Run on Tesco 99 and Shell V Power. Economical for V6. Up to 35 MPG on a long run. Ive seen 38mpg. No rush to sell. Selling as looking at other cars.

Funny thing is the slk 55 2nd gen r171 was causing issues with Caymans on the track up to 5 years ago. Handling is debatable from the track videos ive seen they seem decent and controllable. They do however have issues. This one has some mods tho

didnt want to be that guy starting another thread but also looking at these SLK. The 350s are level with 350Z. Theres also the older 2000-2003 SLK mk 1 SLK 32 rare gems with Supercharger 354hp some tuned to 400hp weighing only 1300kg. The 172 2012 - 2016 do have some issues including roof leaks and exhaust valve. They are rare and come with a 5.4 v8. They weigh around 1620kg. 394 ft lbs and 4.6 seconds so as fast as a NA v8 needs to be. Roadtax is £340 and has the 4 cylinder shutoff system for economical driving. Not to be confused with SL which has its own issues

welcome to Z life

My neighbour had a yellow mid 2000s 987 3.4 boxster for around 3 years. It did get a bit of attention street parked. Retired and got a Smart car to whiz about. They seem to have jumped up a lot in price since he sold his over 6 years ago. http://m.australiancar.reviews/reviews.php#!content=recalls&make=Porsche&model=Boxster&gen=763

hmmm....under 20k wont get you a mk2 right now. Last year maybe. One or Two mk2 Nismos went for sub 20k in winter. If you do go for the Porsche just be aware that paying thousands of pounds in maintenance is the norm. Get a full blown warranty from Porsche to cover most things. Its around £1300 for 24 months and theyd probably want to carry out an inspection and other to do lists before accepting the car. PDK gearboxes are not cheap. A German out of warranty is a boat without a paddle on shits creek! Ive seen a YouTuber say he spent £5000 on the 981 in first 12 months. Not sure what issues are on the 987 out of the usual. Make sure theyve been taken care of id say. Nismo just need to watch out for tramlining, clutch, wet seatbelts....check seals and look out for rust.

ULEZ cameras are being vandalized consistently. Plus Harrow and Hillingdon said no

He's right. Reliability will be an issue. Then again if the pockets are deep enough and you can keep a secret......

Looks like Japanese are looking to make EV more mainstream by tapping into 2 and 2+2 roadsters and coupe EVs. Toyota/Lexus, Nissan and possibly Honda. Theyre said to come with artificial manual and some customizeability sound and lighting. Maybe Porsche will be the first to get to the market then others will follow. Also Nissan had muscle car concept as well as Peugeot. Both EV coupes. Time will tell what price they will be if they make it to production

The 370 can fit a large suitcase and some handbags in the boot. The carry on suitcase can go between the passengers legs in the cabin as well as any further handbags behind the seat on the parcel shelf. I dropped off someone who had these at Gatwick. The 350Z I fit a small/medium size ikea table top and separate legs as well as a chair with wheels. Ive also helped someone move couple of large bin bags and small storage box.. The 370 is bigger and has more storage space. newer 911 can get close as it has rear seats

yep lol its headed towards £1000. In the meantime though wana try something else

Funny enough 6 months ago these did cross my mind was watching a couple of videos on them. Only thing they are FWD and those have understeer depending on the level of the LSD attached https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/peugeot/rcz/85750/peugeot-rcz-r-vs-nissan-370z-nismo-fwd-vs-rwd

OP should look at Nismo Mk1! Again agricultural is debatable as thats what synchrorev aims to eliminate. Smoother Upshifts and Downshifts with it constantly on! Meaning smooth gear changes. Ive had 2 370s plus Nissan were one of the first to have the modern manual with synchrorev which eliminates jerkyness....Now they have flat foot shifting from factory in new Z But feel free to test drive both and try out the features on both.

Capable "barge". Im also not suprised by the Civic or the Megane.

So is the Cayman S an out and out sports car at 1475 kg? 😮... ooof... Haha...Like Rihanna said "shutup and drive, drive, drive" 🤣🤣

Enough said! Horses for Courses. Lets put the 987 as an HR rival. Due to the timing and specs. Well kinda.

His mod list exceed the price of a stock Cayman S? I doubt it. LSD 4.08 Gears Double Oil Coolers Modified ABS Suspension mod Short shifter. Assuming the car costs 40k+ in Poland due to EU taxation. Still short of Cayman price. These mods are not exceeding £10,000 Stock vs Stock no one can argue but its not night and day. The reason mods are being talked about against a stock Porsche is cost to buy and R and D on both cars are vastly different. Porsche would have spent way more developing Boxster,Cayman and 911 compared to the Z and GTR. To bring the car up from GT "barge" to track car sports car it requires light mods. Nissan know this..RND shortfall is substituted with aftermarket mods......When the field is even....... Nissan only pumped £250 Million in the new Z according to leaked documents. Its costs over 4 times that to develop something close to the New Z4 let alone a Cayman from scratch. Thats probably what happened with the 370Z. Shortfall on Research and Development but it's still a capable car on the track. I dunno about test drives i have my eye on something else lol....also not sure about spending £5000 on repairs year 1. We will see though

https://insideevs.com/news/657104/porsche-price-increases-mid-2023/ Ofcourse buyers will accept it! Porsche Family laughing to the bank!

@davey_83 like for like both cars match 295 bhp**typo and 325 bhp 987 S and 981 S..350 hr 276 bhp and 370 328 bhp..the gts is 340 hp so is the nismo. Release timings are off on the 350 to the 987/986. So you got a point but thats why i compared the 987 instead. The HR having more power than the 987 S. The R is a different fish and now £40k @docwraThey can be heavily modified but basic mods and driver ability those Caymans arent going far. If you want to say Caymans are better drivers cars than Z i already agreed 15 posts ago... Dont forget since 981 electric steering etc has been put in the Porsche. Sure its not all bad but each car has pros and cons. Also GT spec 370Z with some handling mods is actually better for the track in terms of weight compared to the Nismo.
