Lee370Z

No issues(touch wood). Only done just over 3k miles in it up to yet though. Use it as an occasional/weekend car(I haven't used it since Dec 14th and I'm missing it to be fair). Looking forward to lockdown ending and the better weather. 

Hello and welcome from another Roadster owner. 

I've had my 2011 model for 2 years in April and I've been really happy with it. Yours is proper low mileage and mine has 47k miles on it now. 

Enjoy collecting it. 

Welcome back. 

Your Nismo looks great. 

Enjoy it. 

I absolutely love the way that the 370Z Nismo looks, but the fake interior noise and the very quiet standard exhaust do come in for a fair bit of criticism(the later model). The exhaust is an easy fix though, and I presume that you can disconnect the fake interior noise as well. 

From what I read the 370Z Nismo is much more sharper to drive than the standard 370Z. The looks of the 370Z Nismo are heavenly for me. 

Enjoyed watching that thanks.

Yeah over 100k and the engines are still sweet if looked after, its the milestone that mental barrier in terms of 'worth' in a lot of peoples minds.

I definitely suffer with that mental barrier. I used to say that you get the best from an engine from new to 50k miles...then from 50k to 100k miles the engine starts going down hill...then 100k miles plus it could blow up at any moment!! 

Modern engines are fine now though for mega mileage for sure. 

Wishing you all the best with it. 

I have a 370Z Roadster and I love roof down motoring(when it is a bit warmer than it is now though lol!). 

Good luck. 

A lovely car. 

I remember sitting in one at the Autosport show when they first came out. That one was yellow and I always liked the GT4 link with them. 

Hello and welcome. 

Very nice and I love the colour. 

Enjoy it. 

I have Michelin PS4 on both my 370Z and Mini Cooper S...so I'm a fan for sure. 

They are the best tyre that I've experienced. They are a really good all round tyre I reckon. 

Very nice. 

I reckon that these are the ultimate 370Z for many people. 

Enjoy it. 

Hello and welcome. 

I absolutely loved the S14 I used to have, great cars. 

Hello and welcome. 

Your Z looks very nice. 

Great news!

Did you ever get the geo done? German cars factory settings are notoriously understeery, but a tweak makes the engineering come alive. Ask @StevoD how my old 6er drove as an example. 

The TTS was a very odd car to drive for me. The steering was extremely light and it didn't give much feedback to what the car was doing. Plus to say that it was 4wd it didn't give you much confidence to what it was going to do. You couldn't put it into a corner very accurately and trust it. 

I can only put it down to the front bias Haldex 4WD system. I had three rear bias 4WD systems over the years and they felt fine to drive in comparison. 

It is good to hear that the geo can make a big difference thanks. 

Such a fantastic looking wheel. 

A great choice of tyre too.

With all due respect, it’s not like the 370 is particularly well known for being the pinnacle of driving excellence. Whilst I would always prefer rwd over 4wd myself, unless you’re capable of deducing the minutiae of chassis and power train nuances, I suspect that the RS will be the more thrilling car to own full stop. Cars have come an awful long way since the 350 chassis came out, let’s not forget. 
 

Plus you’re comparing one of the nicest interiors in a modern car to one thats *ahem* lacking cohesive design. That alone would go a long way to making you feel you’re sat in something much more special. 

I know that the 350/370 aren't the last word when it comes to drivers cars(they are far too heavy for that/and based on a boring saloon chassis). However the first time I went around a corner in the TTS I nearly understeered into a field! 

The TTS was a great car to live with for sure, and I loved the interior/looks. As a drivers car though it is right at the bottom of the cars I've had. I am happy to take the 370 out for a drive just for the sake of it, but I'd never do that with the TTS. That is the difference for me.

Personally i would stick with the nismo 

I can't argue with that to be fair. From a keen drivers point of view the 370 wipes the floor with the TT for me. The TT is great if you are chasing power/performance though. As a drivers car though they don't compare, and they are chalk and cheese for sure I reckon. 

I did 67k miles from new in a 2012 Audi TTS MK2 without any issues. I've often considered the MK3 model as well. 

Hello and welcome. 

A great looking Z for sure. 

Brilliant news and I'm really chuffed to see you in a Z again.  

I did wonder whether you'd take to the 550i or not, it is a lovely engine but after that they aren't exactly exciting(I've had 7 Bmw's(2 V8's) and while I really like them they don't light my fire like the Jap stuff does for sure). 

Enjoy it and I look forward to following your developments with it. 

Very nice. 

I'd love to experience a Porsche one day. 

Keep enjoying it. 

Hello and welcome. 

Enjoy your lovely motor.

@Lee370Z just out of curiosity what brand are your HFCs

That’s good news, who’s cats are they? I have fitted Cobras 

Thanks. 

I wish I knew so I could tell you, but they were already on the car when I bought it, and I've not had the opportunity yet to look at them in detail on a ramp sadly.

Hi,

That is really helpful, thanks very much, have you had any MOT problems?

A quick update to this. My 370Z passed the MOT today and the HFC's were fine.
