Oh I definitely want a white one! Since I had my champ white edition FN2 I've grown to really appreciate sports cars in white! I do like black as well, had a black EP3 but they don't stand out as much and obviously they won't contrast with the nismo bumper etc if they're already black. Thanks for all the responses guys but I do want a 370, not 350 even if I have to increase my budget. I'm gonna buy a little flat to move into so I want/need to retain around £25,000 for a deposit but once that's sorted I could save a few grand more quite quickly and consider what's on the market.

I think performance wise, my civic would obliterate any NA 370, except in a 0-60, but even then it would be catching up! I think I could sacrifice some cornering ability and overall performance, for the V6 lump that actually produces more low down torque than my FN2, even though it's supercharged. It's simply a bigger more powerful engine, my FN2 makes 200lbft at 3500rpm. I think a stock 370z makes more than that even at 2000rpm. But in a car not much more than 1300kg, the lower torque is still enough to get it moving. Looking at the dyno chart above, despite being heavier think a 370z might feel quite a bit nicer in the lower revs with some real usable grunt. I can only imagine really. It you think your Zs need more low down power then try driving a stock civic type R FN2 or any K20s type R. (not the new one). Put your foot down at 2000rpm and nothing moves 😀

I'm not gonna sell mine until I'm 100% sure but the more videos I watch, the more I think I'd be happy with it. I think a stock 370z in white with black OEM alloys looks great and with a cat back I'll be revving it all day. It's slow and has a fat ass but lots of character

Yeah good times on CTRO but I think all forums are less active now. Nothing conclusive on that link. I know all about the K20 and it's common knowledge that around 250bhp is the limit with all bolt ons. So surely members here must have the same knowledge in relation to 370zs? I want to find out which is the best performing and sounding exhaust, intake etc. In time I will learn... when it comes to modding FN2s and EP3s I know just about everything.

Have you had a 370? Think I'll enjoy it ? 🙂

My main concern is appearance. I want a storm white with black alloys and in time, I want the nismo bumpers. With the exception of super cars, a nismo 370z in whIte is my favourite looking car. Coupled with a great sounding engine and exhaust, I can overlook the lesser performance and with it being a heavy car, more expensive to run than my FN2. My civic can do 36+ mpg cruising which is pretty good for a 340bhp car.

Thanks guys, yeah I'm on civinfo and CTRO etc. Recognise GMballistic. I'd be considering an 09/10 plate 370z in white if I could get one for around £15,000. I'd probably get £12,500 for my civic, maybe more if I'm patient or maybe less. It is a faster car and probably quicker in corners, cheaper to run and maintain, mpg definitely better on the civic! But I think the looks and sound should be worth it. Can someone tell me what BHP I'd get remapping with intake, cat back and high flow cat? If estimate 350bhp? I do like the idea of 1st gear launches which I can't do in the civic. I'd get AD08s all round. Also what kinda torque are these making from 2000rpm? I'm gonna try find one local to test drive, more than likely I'll only find a 350z in a garage but I guess they're similar. Anyone have a 350-360 NA 370z and does your feel quick despite being so heavy ?

Thanks

Hi there, I've been with Hondas and Type RS for years, currently with a supercharged Champ White FN2.

So I do like my civic but I got listening to some of the 350/370 V6 engine clips, with a cat back or even a muffler delete they sound pretty good and I can see myself revving at idle looking like an idiot because it sounds so good. But then I thought well a standard 350 doesn't stand out to me. The 2015/16 nismo I feel looks fantastic, my favourite car under 30k but more than I should be spending for now. A stock 370z in white kinda took my fancy with black alloys ideally but still a bit plain until I realised you can bolt on the nismo '15 plate bumpers on there for a reasonable price? I wouldn't back it a full on rep just the bunkers. So I have a projected planned, I could sell my civic, add some more cash and get an 09, 10 plate 370z then stick the nismo bumpers on. Would these definitely fit on ok? I know the DRLs are expensive.

So then the problem is, despite not having heard one person to fully commit myself I know these are 326bhp but a whopping 1600KG? So with that BHP/tonne I feel like it might feel mighty slow considering my civic is 340bhp and only 1320kg, some 260bhp/tonne so the 370z should be considerably slower. Does the 370z feel fast being so heavy? I know they've got good low down torque which might make up for it but I just hope it's not a let down. As for remapping, with a stillen gen 3, high flow cats, and a good cat back... basically full bolt ons with a remap what could I expect? 350bhp? Or more? Is it like K20s where a 3" provides the most power? I've no idea on brands yet but I'd want a cat back that is loud enough to open up the engine note to its potential but not too loud. One with long tips sticking out the end would be cool too but that's something I'd have to look into. Does a decat make considerably more than a high flow cat? The brakes look decent as far as valises go but are they enough for such a heavy car? I'd imagine them fading quite quick. I'd of course get better pads and braided lines.

I think if I could get 360-370bhp it might actually be a match for my civic if that's possible without boost 😀

Some pics of my FN2, if anyone wants to trade their white 370z I might consider, plus cash

Thanks

I really love this car. I've got a Supercharged FN2 type R but I'm considering selling it and buying one of these! Stock 370z never satisfied me but with the nismo bumpers you've installed it looks amazing ðŸ˜

Please tell me if you sell the car 🙂ðŸ‘ðŸ»
