Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / March 2006Who likes NISSAN 350Z?
NOT A BAD CAR HUH..?  SignatureCar lovers Welcome www.nitro-tuning.com Automotive forums upcomeing !!! Personally, the 350z is simply amazing. A 300HP v6 engine with enough torque to keep rival sports cars at bay. The VQ35DE engine has a lot of potential, specially with forced induction applications. --------------------------------- www.nissanpacific.com the VQ35DE is actually not good for forced induction - you will have so many reliability issues unless you do a rebuild and then you'll still be taking it back to the shop more than you'd like to. 350Z? Not bad. G35 Coupe? Way way better. CD When it comes to 350z vs g35, it's a simple question: Performace vs Luxury Personally, i'd rather drop the leather & rear seats for a chance to experience the VQ in all its glory. > When it comes to 350z vs g35, it's a simple question: > > Performace vs Luxury > > Personally, i'd rather drop the leather & rear seats for a chance to > experience the VQ in all its glory. Granted, the 350Z is more of a track car than the G35C . . . . .from the factory, but they are both street vehicles meant to strike a good balance between a road going car and a track car. I think the G35C strikes the better balance. With aftermarket support, the G35C can become one helluva track vehicle. Also, there are those who say that the 350Z, with its shorter wheelbase, has a bit of a twitchy rear end compared to the G35C. Is it any wonder that the G35C is the Skyline in Japan, and that the Skyline GTR coming to America, while looking like a beefed up 350Z, has a longer wheelbase than the 350Z? This is not confirmed, but the spyshots sem to suggest so, like this; http://www.jbskyline.net/V35/GTR/ Just look at this thing of beauty that can tear up the asphalt and look great doing it; http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB25&Number=680 44667&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1 I'll take the G35C, thank you very much!:) CD > When it comes to 350z vs g35, it's a simple question: > > Performace vs Luxury > > Personally, i'd rather drop the leather & rear seats for a chance to > experience the VQ in all its glory. Guess I went for the best of all worlds - G35 Sedan 6MT. Have ALL the toys, can blow by most cars on the road today and still handles great in the twisties. Oh, and I can carry 4 in comfort! :) > NOT A BAD CAR HUH..? I'll keep my 280.. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/937049/orangez3.jpg SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com > >> NOT A BAD CAR HUH..?

The car was parked on the front lawn of a house down the street and the guy wanted $5000 for it. I couldn't convince my wife that we needed an extra car rather than redoing the kitchen. :-) I had to drive past it every day for a week, until it disappeared one day. SignatureBill In Hamptonburgh, NY Man that's sweet. Very nice touch with the black rims, too. Is there anything done to it under the hood? Turbo, SC? How much is it putting down to the wheels? I gather it's a 5-speed stick? CD >NOT A BAD CAR HUH..? Much prefer the 200SX S15 2+2 that was killed off so's not to piss on the 350Z. Adverts said "power to burn". http://www.carecstasy.com/Car_Specifications/Nissan_S14_1999_R_Spec.htm S15 had a dinky 2L 4pot turbo SR20DET, 5.6secs 0-60mph and 13.9 1/4 mile....against 5.8 and 14.1 for the 350Z. In a word the 350Z is FAT and a few more words Made for America. Australia's 200SX S15 got a sad 198bhp like the S14 model before it. New Zealand (200SX) and Japan (Silvia) got the full 250bhp. Later version of this engine SR20VET with inlet and exhaust variable valve timing gave 280bhp in the X-trail GT. But the best car Nissan ever made stayed in production from 1989 to 1998 and was killed off to make way for the S15. It's the RS13 hatchback - Japan 180SX / NZ,Europe,SA 200SX / US 240SX. It has the same multilink rear suspension. Fitted with the right engine a CA18DET and properly tweaked to give 550 rwbhp it can chase an Aerial Atom on a race track. http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=246 Only other cars it has to worry about cost $1,000,000. http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/powerlaps/ Someone else thinks the right engine for 240SX is a toyota 2JZ. http://members.shaw.ca/kfgroup/240sx_-_2jz.htm Get that Veyron outta the way! -- Peter Hill Spamtrap reply domain as per NNTP-Posting-Host in header Can of worms - what every fisherman wants.
