Chris-Baller Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Hi, I currently own a modified 1998 Civic EK4 VTi, and am getting a 350z in around a month (pretty much when the EK4 sells) it took me a long time to decide what car to move to next, but ive decided on a 350z, I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice on what to look out for when buying a Z, I don't want over a 55-plate for tax reasons, but I heard pre-53 had interior plastics that scratch very easily? also what suspension setup do they run? as I'm coming from a very handling-orinantated car (front double wishbone, independant rear etc) and what to retain some cornering fun if possible, thanks alot for advice and I'm looking forward to being part of the Z community Quote
Zugara Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Welcome. depends on what you want to use the car for with regard to the handling, are you doing track days? Check for clicky rear axle, Service book stamped. Have a look in the FAQ's plenty of answers to your questions there. Quote

3FiftyZ Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Welcome dude... good luck with the sale/purchase! Quote
evilscorp Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 The handling is fun, predictible and great! much better than ff setup coming from a moded prelude its a big improvement and easyer to drive as you dont need to rev the car to get it to go fast. Quote

bronzee Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Welcome. Out of the box, most of them handle well. You can always go aftermarket for the suspension anyway. Being newer that what you've currently have the technology should be better. Only major difference is RWD and the weight of the car. They're a fun car to drive when well set up. Quote

PM me if you're interested for all the details. It's an 05 plate with 80k on the clock and is in very good condition all round. Quote
