ok ok, so reading through this, alot about the 350z which isn't being argued about. And your on a skyline forum, asking whether or not the god of skylines (r35 not being considered a skyline) compares to the 370z?

Something about that picture doesnt look right? Looks like a model that someone has imposed over the background. Im not saying it is, it just doesnt look right to me

i have a 07 350Z and a 97GTR bombed off its tits....

The Z handles like a go kart and is an absolute dream to play countersteer games for as long as you like, it has very precise handling with the VSC switched off, but hands down the GTR gets my pick when I want some real fun.

If the 350Z had maybe double the power my opinion MIGHT change because it handles very well but is so slow compared to the GTR

i personally drive a 97 GTS-T so i cant brag on too much both these cars are out of my price range...but to me, all Z's look cheap...i think there is no comparison with the GTR...the stance of the GTR just puts it a level above the 370 and the 350...and when you talk Nissan, they have always been up there...starting from the 32, to 33 and the 34...the new one is just simply unbelievable...

i would take the R-34 GTR anyday...maybe ill own 1 one day...lol

geeez

reading it all.................dude........are u OK?!?!?

this is a skyline forum of course people will chose the the GT-R.

so ITS getting pretty boringgggggggggggggggggggggg........getting tired of seeing "GTR R34 for me"..."blah blah heres a picture of the R34 GTR...enough ssaid blah blah................" which is silly cause who doesnt know what the GTR R34 Looks like....its been around for the past decade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what people should be showing is more pics of the 370z......cause its new and not everyone seen the ins and outs on it.....

shouldve rephrased the question in this thread?

So...WHO ACTUALLY PREFERS THE 370Z?!?!?!?!?!

Lastly what i wanted to add...

im guessing alot of people actually look down on the Z...

cause they think its non-turbo and "too slow"

how do you even know its too slow?!....have you ever ridden in one?!

ive guessed that you've probably read the CLAIMED...specs on the 0 - 100km? or 400m?

i personally beleive......dont beleive everything you read....when it comes to vehicle times...

because if you put 2 and 2 together....

R34 GT-R (stock)

206 KW at 6800rpm

392 Nm at 4400rpm

370Z (stock)

248 kW at 7000 rpm

370 Nm at 5200 rpm <---- thats really good for non-turbo you know.....

and plus there is a weight difference

R34 GT-R (base)

1,540 Kg

370Z (base)

1,466 kg

it might even be a good race you know......

ok the interior looks sick as...the centre console is very similar to the V-36 coupe...the layout of the screen and buttons...right, the interior to me, wins over the GTR...but i was very close to spewing when i had a look at that rear end...looks like a damn SUV to me...and whats with the lights??? i cannot see the anything in it...no disrespect to Z owners...but it really is an absolutey ugly looking car...even the 350Z looks heaps better...still the skyline to me, wins overall...

here is a side view in comparison to the 350z.......it looks alot better......alot fatter......more supercar-ish

car1or4.jpg

yes i know you prefer the GT-R...as well as every tom dick and harry + dog....

like i just said.....it would be INTERESTING to know who would prefer the 370Z?

so put you hand up so we can have a good look!

infact i think it looks alot better than 350z

i wouldnt be calling things ugly......

its new....no one is used to its looks.... i recall people saying when the EVO 7 came out....every hated it calling it "ugly shit" cause everyone was used to the way EVO6 looked.

and a few years down the track.......till this day.....the EVO 8 & 9 (which is the same chasis and body)

is pretty much one of the most best looking cars on the market in aust.

still doesnt do anything for me...ok woopi-doo...its a late model car and its fast...GTR all the way...wether its been around for a decade or two...it still has history, class and still out performs alot of other street cars...please have a look at these pics and compare...and dont tell me its just another GTR...the z has nothing... :down:

I think the 370Z is terrific granted it shorter and stubbier than the 350Z and the pics probably don't do it justice (Audi TTand R35 GTR and others also looked uglier in pics than in real) - but Nismo 370Z version is just too uuugggggggggglllllyyyyyyyyyyy - disgraceful body kit (must have been styled by a braille person)

as an every day driver the 370Z would likely be far more practical than a R34 GTR and lots of fun no doubt - pose value? who knows, I would prefer the newer v6 engine car -it s moddddddddddddddeerrrrrrrnnnn - its the future not the past !!!!!!!! and it wil have better tech type kit

Does any1 actually like or even think the 370 is a better car?

geezus dude.............................

ive actually seen one of these...with a custom Purple sort of paint.....filling up at a shell station...the one on Roberts Rd under the bridge at Greenacre/Chullora and it sounded like it was running a loud ass V8...

The analogy that immediately came to mind is that an R34 GT-R is to the new 370Z what the 1987 Ferrari F40 is to the Ferrari F430.

The F430 is undoubtedly more modern, a fresher shape that isn't as familiar. And the F430 is probably just as quick around Fiorano as the F40. But the F40 is a supercar, with the legend and street cred to back it up. To me it's also a more raw, aggressive design (which to my mind is also more cohesive and all of a piece with less fussy detailing). You'll also see many more F430s around than F40s.

You don't have to be a true enthusiast to own a 370Z (although undoubtedly, there will be some), but if you own an R34 GT-R I don't think there's any doubt.

your a bit too late on that dude....

havent you read the previous posts?

every: Tom, Dick, Harry + dog .... has said something along the lines of what you just mentioned

the conclusion is that, no one on here prefers the 370z in this "SKYLINE" australia club....

end of story.....

Yeah Jamie, I did. And I take your point. Pretty hard not to be biased when you own a Skyline, I know, but that's just how I figure. I love cars of all types and I thought the analogy would be interesting even if it was fantastical.

I love Ferrari F40's i'd take one any day over an F430. Modern or not he's right, it has character and appeal. In 20-30 years time that may be the case for the F430 when its succesor comes out whatever it may be.

'

But like it or not you are right this is a skyline forum and to ask a quesiton like that means your gonna get a heavy response inclined towards liking the GT-R, as most people on these forums aspire to own or have one already.

That being said, i have seen the 370Z personally driving next to me on Princess Highway, (it was silver) and must say it is ALOT better in real life than in the pictures. Overall against the 350Z its a great improvement and im sure Nissan milk it out as as much as they could like the 350Z slowly tweaking and tunning the engine for that extra 20HP and 10-20NM of torque it recieves in previous models.

But if you asked me would you take a 240Z, a 350Z or hey even a 370Z, i would say the 240Z, because it purely is characteristic, it has balls to back itself, and simply it looks stunning. I find it hard pressed to compare the 240Z to that of a BNR34 (since i love GT-R's) because it looks THAT good!

But if you told me like you are now what would i rather, a 370Z or a R34 GT-R. Well i have the option to buy either of them and you know what? Stuff both of them im going to build my own car. I have an ENR34 non turbo 2 door and i'd rather spend MORE money building my car from the ground up than buying a 320HP monster out the factory, simply because it doesnt have character. Yes it has history, but never until its worn in and driven will it have character and in a car thats what i want.

Other than that, factory to factory, if both cars were brand new i'd take the R34 GT-R simply because i like tunning and will find it easier to tune the GT-R (power wise) over the 370Z. But if i was after practicality, precise driving, comfort and more of an everyday car, i'd take the 370Z because it doesn't come off as a "hardcore" tuner something people over time won't look twice at. Depends what its for really. Everyone is to their own opinion, so that being said would you take a 370Z or a 350Z possibly even the 240 or the older models which are similar? it shouldn't be compared to the 34, the 34 should be compared to the 35.

    • I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.
    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
