Hey everyone, been looking at a few cars lately.. 350z in particular.

I don't know much about them apart from them being an NA 3.5L 6 and that they have a track and touring model..

What do you guys think about them performance and handling wise?

Is there many options when modifying like skylines or are you limited?

Basically just looking at some general info on them.

Thanks guys.

In terms of value for money the 350z ranks just above having a haemorrhoid. lolz na they aint bad but the engine just dosent have enough grunt, they handle well and have great brakes though.

The interior looks like i made it.

In that price range you can have an r33 gtr, r32 gtr with money for mods and maintenance.

LOL at the comments haha. Like I said I didn't know anything about them, thats why I asked.

I'm looking for something a bit newer then r33 and r32 gtr's lol. What else really is there for for around the same price range as the 350z?

Preferably a smaller car also, but not essential, Something with quite some potential to modify, aswell as being reliable!

If you don't mind imports, then it'll be better to get the V35 Skyline as they're exactly the same engine and drivetrain, a tad slower, but the interior build quality is a lot better (some plastic dash pocket cover on 350Z are very plasticky - as demonstrated in Top Gear's review), which I hardly found any tacky clicking plastic cover on my V35 (all are nicely padded for a soft click on closing/opening). And again, you get 2 extra seat for 2 extra mates at the back...

But mod wise, if you're willing to spend big, there are tuners out there selling twin turbo kit or a s/c kit. But be prepare to fork out enough money to spend on a brand new korean small car on top of your purchase.

yeah Ross i rekon owning a V35 would be awsome! Iv seen some nice ones around!!

Id take that over the 350 anyday...

No chance not a fan of the V35 period lol.

Made up my mind after speaking to a few people and im gonna go for an evo. They are a great car in my opinion also very practical.

As a bonus my workshop of choice loves them :D

Thanks for ya help guys :P

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
