Chesterfield Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Ill have it Sarnie. Cant understand Nissan - how to alienate customers in several easy steps - just release a new model every 12 months and devalue customers investments! Brilliant. Id still have one though, as long as I could swap the gash bonnet for a normal one. Quote
ir_fuel Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 if you think a car is an investment think again Quote
Chesterfield Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Oh every new car will devalue - had I known that Nissan were planing on releasing a new model every 12 months adding to that depreciation, I may well have spent my money elsewhere. Quote

Id still have one though, as long as I could swap the gash bonnet for a normal one. The new vq is higher i think hence the bump in the bonnet therefore old bonnets probably would not be compatible Quote
stuey Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 wonder how much these will retail at........... Quote
Removed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 our bonnets will not be swappable on the 07 HR model. I'll be curious to test drive one tbh, want to see if there really is a noticeable difference. I don't care about new models tbh, never saw my Z as an investment. Quote
nixy Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Knowing absolutely nothing about this are there any pics? I didn't realise I was going to be out of date before I even got one! Quote
Stew Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Nixy it looks pretty much the same apart from an ugly bonnet. Some new colours and a new engine too Quote
Sarnie Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Knowing absolutely nothing about this are there any pics? I didn't realise I was going to be out of date before I even got one! The ones that you are looking at are all ready out of date technically speaking. The original zeds had 280 bhp, then the gt4 came with a new HR engine but the same interior and had 300 bhp and then early last year they released the facelift model with the GT4 engine and some tweaks to the interior and exterior. This new model will be the 4th incarnation of the 350z Quote
Removed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 sarnie don't confuse the GT4 engine (same as the 2006 model) with the new VQ35HR which is very different from the VQ35DE which we all have on here. The HR has dual intakes for example. Have a search on here there's a few pdf documents I posted about the new engine, substantial difference mate. Quote

I'll be curious to test drive one tbh, want to see if there really is a noticeable difference. I don't care about new models tbh, never saw my Z as an investment. Having driven the MY03 zed and the gt4 (extra 20 bhp) the difference is very very minimal. Has the torque curve been tweaked? Quote
Removed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 this is a different engine altogether basically, more power (not just the extra 13hp suggested, they now use a different measure for hp! )has to be different to drive, imo. Also these are the impressions from over the pond where the VQ35HR had been available for a few weeks Quote

Removed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 that it's a very different car! (engine wise) Quote
Sarnie Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 that it's a very different car! (engive wise) Right, sorry That bonnet is really growing on me though Have you seen the new yellow thats available in the US? Quote
Removed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 yeah, the new orange you mean quite like that colour Quote
Sarnie Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 yeah, the new orange you mean quite like that colour NO not the orange The new yellow Mark posted up a pic on the OC of a Nismo'd yellow zed Quote
Removed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 it's orange (isn't it also called solar orange anyway? ) Quote
Stew Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 The bright orange is NICE! I really like it. I'm sure many will hate it though! Quote

This new model will be the 4th incarnation of the 350z can someone give me a picture comparison of a non facelift and a facelift cos I can't tell the difference. The other thing I've noticed is some have a neat little spoiler and some don't - why's that then - is that the age of the car? Quote
Stew Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 UK car comes with a spoiler. JDM doesn't. Quote
Removed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 JDM's don't come wil little spoilers facelifted, you mean 06? or the new 07? Quote
