1CE Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Hello, Just being nosy really, I don’t own a 350z but seriously considering one for next year. Right now I’m driving a 1.8 focus zetec, with all sorts of performance mods which is coming to an end as there isn’t much more you can squeeze out of the zetec engine without spending thousands for minimal gains n/a wise. Hence the reason in considering one of these, the v6 sound alone is gorgeous! So really here to do a bit of research on them before hand. Ben. Quote
Rob_Quads Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Welcome - The Z is a great car to look at. One point tho - if you are looking at it from a modders point of view be aware its imilar in that you need to spend LOADS to get any significant gain out of the na engine Quote
jerry3167 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Hi Ben, welcome to the club!! I used to have a Ford Racing Puma, loved it to bits, and love the Zetec engine!! Quote
Stew Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 along Ben. As was mentioned, tuning N/A is pricey to get actual gains. However with decent standard power already maybe you'd be happy with making the growl even better! Hope you find all the info you need! Quote
bronzee Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Welcome to the forum Ben. As the others have pointed out, bit of a power increase to a Zed, so that will probably keep you entertained for a while at least. Quote
1CE Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Hey, Thanks for all the welcomes, nice place here . That's what I like about this car, even the exhaust note sounds stunning on the standard pipes. Like you've said, it starts off with a nice power figure to begin with, not to mention rwd, that should keep me ocupied for a while . I've never wanted a car soo much until now, god help my wallet .

1CE Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Hello . Quick question, how hard are nismo exhaust systems to get ahold of? Are they import only or are there european dealers? I've been on youtube and the nismo sounds marvelous! Quote
martinmac Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Available from our traders but they arent as cheap as they were, the best circs £1200 you will spend though Quote
bronzee Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 I've been on youtube and the nismo sounds marvelous! They sound even better in person. I've never wanted a car soo much until now, god help my wallet . The Zed will love you wallet. It's all part of the fun. Quote
1CE Posted July 7, 2009 Author Posted July 7, 2009 Can anyone help me out a bit. I have just seen this come up on pistonheads and is located quite close! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1127518.htm The previous owner had the clutch replaced, would this likely be due to 6krpm launches or is it a comman fault at 50k miles? It has also had a miltek exhaust as the original one needed replacing. Thanks, Ben. Quote
martinmac Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Dont worry about the clutch, its not unusual. Quote
