That is probably correct with it not being turbo'd and as raw as my current Celica I was surprised by how quiet it was but the V6 did sound lovely when opened up! I did notice that I was always going faster than it felt I was. In mine its the other way round probably cos everything rattles shakes and grumbles, lol! Thanks ppl

Morning guys, I test drove an azure blue 2004 S tune this weekend and I was slightly disapointed by the performance. Handling is fantastic and I must say I was very impressed with everything about the car except the acceleration. Build quality is brilliant, no rattles at all and the brakes are awesome. I've currently got a 92 Celica GT4 its only about 230BHP and peak torque is 220ft/lbs it weighs about 1500kg. The 350z is 276 BHP and 276ft/lbs also weighs about the same but being two wheel drive has less transmission loss. Now I know it is faster slightly but by the feel of the butt dyno it failed to stir my soul. Is this normal or does it sound like the one I drove had some kind of issue that I was unaware of? Cheers

Thanks guys thats in the ball park I kind of expected, pretty much the same as any other RWD car. I really feel like I want a zed now. Off to test drive one tomorrow, can't wait, I'm like abig kid!

Well I'm more than happy with that I was concerned that a Zed was gonna be much like a Supra in terms of petrol, i.e. about 240 miles to 80 - 90 quid. It gets even better mpg than mine so I'm super stoked, right I really need to get one now!!! Many thanks everyone

Just a quick question I'm just wondering how much petrol it takes to fill a zed from the warning light first coming on and how many miles will this volume of petrol give you on average. i.e. full tank back to warning light first coming on? My GT4 currently takes £66 from warning light to full and I get 280miles. This involves approx half on motorway, 35% cruising and 15% giving it some. Sorry if this has been asked before I did search but probably didn't search for the right string. Thanks

Good afternoon, I've used the old search facility and read a few of the topics regarding clutch life. They all pretty much say the same that a few cars suffered with early clutch failure. I suppose I'm just interested really whats the average or expected life from a 350Z clutch. I'm off to test drive a red UK GT tomorrow and want to check the service history to see when the clutch was last changed and when I should be expecting to change it again if required. Also what is the ball park figure for a change, in the topics I've read prices vary from £500 up to £1600 all inclusive of parts and labour. Thanks

Yes both quotes were for UK cars. Non GT £1360 GT £825 I was well confused.

This seems a little random to me maybe I'm just mis informed but my insurance quotes are coming up significantly cheaper on a 350Z GT Coupe as opposed to the 350Z Coupe. I thought the GT was the higher spec model thus more on isnurance or am I mis informed? When I say significantly I'm talking £500!! Many Thanks

Afternoon all, I'm thinking of becoming a 350Z owner pretty soon, I currently drive a Celica GT4 which is nice but just want something that is more up to date in terms of technology and looks. I'm looking at a red 2003 S-Tune (whatever that is) with 26k on it at my local nissan garage. So maybe soon I can become a full member here. I'm off for a test drive at the weekend. I'm 25 and live in good old yorkshire, wakefield. So hello to everyone. Steve
