    Most likely not - it runs on good old fashioned tried and tested Vauxhall parts, the 2.2l engines are solid as a rock and as the car is lightweight it puts so much less strain on the components compared to a something like a lardy 350z. Honestly, so many people have little or no knowledge of these cars and have some very fluffy pre-dispositions to them but they are quite simply one of the best road legal driving experiences you can get for the money. 

    You're not giving the 350z a good write-up!

    But it did though!! Before i even made a gear change it was already down the road, over the hill, round the bends, past the church, under the bridge, round the lake, through the tunnel and probably parked up at home. 

    Is it going to break down all the time though.

    Supercharged VX220 can be had for circa £12k ;) point to point faster than 99% of any other car you are likely to meet on the road on most weekends.

    Good call, but not sure if I can bring myself to buy a "vauxhall".

    Personally no, I wouldn't get a 370 when you've got a HR. So what are the must haves/have nots of a new car? Give us some more detail and we can make some suggestions, before I reel of a list of cars you have no interest in. :)

    Petrol obv.

    2L+

    RWD or AWD.

    Quicker than a 350z HR or a lot better handling (260-450hp???). 

    Will only be used at weekends but needs to be reliable.

    Can’t be black as it’s a pain to clean.

    Japanese preferably.

  5. Hello!

     

    Now that my insurance costs have come down I'm tempted to purchase a new car.

    However I have no problems with my current car a low mileage HR 350z.

     

    So...

     

    Is the 370z worth the upgrade over the HR 350z. 

    I would also consider other cars such as a Nissan Skyline/Silvia but how reliable are they / are spare parts easy enough to find?

     

    Any other suggestions?

    Hi guys, bit late to the party, I have booked my HR in with Jez for the uprev. Those of you who got it done, Could you please give an insight as to how your cars feels post uprev? Cheers! 

    I had the HR mapped by them and there’s a large difference in power in 1st and 2nd gear (also means more wheel spin due to heavy foot and tyres that aren’t so good in the wet).

     

    It also made the car a lot smoother to drive however this may be due to having decats and a buddy club exhaust previously installed.

     

    My car was at circa 280bhp before the remap and I achieved 315bhp after (309 standard).
