Are they far behind a E46 M3 ? On a private track of course.

How do you tell which bhp model they are though? Sorry to keep repeating myself but im looking at a few and I would imagine its best to go for the highest bhp 313 model?What's different on the 300 and 313 engines to make the extra bhp?

You must be fairly competent to rebuild a gearbox or do you send it away? Can anyone tell me how I can tell which bhp model each 350 z is? http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... gLetter=55 this is the one im looking at.

Are you a 350z specialist garage owner Alex? Do you have a website link ? Im a nosey git

Its not the end of the world then is it. A lot cheaper than I thought. Which garage do you quote the prices from? Also how can you tell which bhp model the car is as there a 3 different bhp models? Cheers.

He had to take it to a gearbox specialist and have it examined before the garage would refund him and they said it needed a new clutch and gearbox rebuild. Lovely car it was as well.It has put him off for life but I was impressed and thought his must have been a one off. Out of interest how much would a new clutch and gearbox rebuild cost. Figures of around 4k were mentioned. The garage wernt paying that so just gave him his px back and his money. They sold it on though.

I love the 350 Z but my cousin purchased a 04 plate with 40k on clock and he had to take it back to the garage within a week and get his money back. The gearbox syncromesh was worn and it needed a new clutch. Is this a common problem? Theres a soft top 55 plate at a garage near me and when I drove my cousins I did love the drive even given the problems it had. I am just weary of buying one given the experience my cousin had. So I thought I would ask here. Thankyou in advance. Ken.
