    Cra-Z-Boy no nissan at all :(

    It reminds me of when you see 2 computer geeks fighting over who has the faster computer and what parts made it .
    They really didnt say what the main points are rather they just went on about there biased opinion and after a long 17 and a half minutes ,just like the computer geeks they really havn't told you what made there comparisons and how it makes one stand out from the other, because they are Biased to what they liked before they even drove the 3 cars.
    A lot of talk about nothing in my book = CRAP

    Right... having driven all three, I can say that this video was pretty much spot-on.

    Watch it again. They justify their position on each car quite clearly.

    good vid.

    its pretty true what they say about the ageing bit. 300 will still look the goods in yearss to come, but the 350z is already ageing, and the 370z will come down aswell from those wierd lights...

    other than that, my first choice would be the 370z coz i love twistiess :D

    in about a decade though id prob want the 300 back... these things are 20+ years old and still turning heads...


    why joke, that front bar is hideous

    Funny you should say that. Going to Power Cruise earlier in the year opened my eyes to what i was missing out on with my narrow minded "forced induction or nothing" view point.

    V8 IS GREAT :D

    im off to buy a mussle shirt now.

    agreed... i was woken up by a maloo ute that sounded like it had a fair bit of work done to it.


    def full exhaust, cams and a good tune, sounded awesome 30 seconds after opening my eyes for the day :rolleyes:

    V8's are good but only when built right.

    and a certain magazine has dubbed "the perfect street car" as being a Z32 with a V8 dropped in it :D

    Not something I'd do. I've got my mind set on getting an old beat up V8 ute :D

    The first time I saw a 350z and began to notice how the styling for cars was changing for this decade, I was sure it was going to be another 80's decade. Most of the cars in the 80's, unless they are special in some way, are deemed as ugly and undesireable.

    Having said that, I was originally a bit smitten with the 370z but in the end it made me like my 300zx more. It is old, it is dated and it's still wonderful. It's never going to get uglier or more out of date, but the other two...

    370Z with a VK56 would be pretty darn good I reckon :D

    Do some googling. There are several FREE programs that let you rip Youtube vids into the format of your choice.

    then you can imagine what the 370 could do as a TT?

    Nissan cant release another TT Z car. the power output would be too close to the GTR. everybody is all hoohaa about the 3.8L TT but at 358kW, but in 2009, its outdated (do you remember how long its been in development?)

    another TT Z would most probably have direct injection and variable cam timing and lift, add that to reasonable size turbos and you have almost no lag, crazy torque from idle and 300+kW.

    Amanda an I went into the Nissan dealership in Brissy last week when we were on holidays. We both really like the 370, and hope one day soon to buy a 350 (maybe within the next 10 years heh).

    But depressingly enough i have to say being 6"4' i dont fit in the 370. No matter how low the seat went i was crouching... My only thought was that if the Lotto numbers came around and i could afford one, it'll have to have skinny bucket seats, Recaros or something.

    This got me thinking. Originally when the 350 came out my old man and i sat in a convertible 350. Again roof up i was crouching and the line of sight out the front was crap. My eye line was a tad under the top of the window frame.

    Not having sat in a hardtop 350, i can only assume im to have similar problems....

    Would hate to buy a black 350 and let only Amanda drive it :p

    Looks like its Z32 for me only...:(

    i stand 6ft10.. i raced to the nssan dealaship when i seen a 370z in there. jumped in and had a tear in my eye. my partner tried to close the door and i just didnt fit, there was no leg room of head room.. i was sad for a couple of days.. a car i really liked and i didnt fit..

    a friend then came round, she'd brought a 350z with tan coloured leather seats.. looked tuff as.. i asked if i could try sit in it after discussing what happened at nissan with the 370z. i jumped in the 350z and had heaps of room, i could even operate the clutch.. i shut the door and thought wow..

    i was happy again, just need to convince my partner that i need a 350z and a 300zx.. lol

    Was that 350 a convert or a hardtop?

    If hard, well it seems a 350 may be the way to go - with a nice rich exhaust :cool:
