350Z & Bye bye 182



  Ibis A3 BE
Just thought I'd put some pics up of my 350Z and add a couple of the '350 meets 182' photos that I took before the Clio was sold. The 182 left my driveway for the final time earlier this afternoon - it will be missed I'm sure, but look forward to getting to know the 350 better.

Here ya go;

Nice photos dude, not sure I personally would've done that exact swap but each to their own..
 
I love 350z's my mates bro has one the same as that. It has to be said your pics are odd to say the least.

Lol thanks guys. Well everyone has seen a 350 and 182 Cup before so thought I'd take some weird angles. Just shows the differences between the cars - shapes, colours, angles etc.

Here are some more standard shots;

Very nice indeed! Best colour to have a 350z in if I am honest!

I bet that thing shifts when you bought your foot down!

Nice motor mate. How do you find the interior quality and build quality of the z compared to your clio?

how does it feel?

grunty??

It definitely feels different to the Clio, power is much easier to find so if you want to be lazy you can be but it's 1,500kg of car so the weight does blunt some of the extra grunt unfortunately. A lot of fun though and the noise through the Nismo exhaust is lovely.

What kind of MPG are people seeing on these?

It really depends on what sort of driving you do. Do plenty of short trips and you'll see it drop into the low 20's and maybe in to the high teens. With a mix of driving but no motorway cruising recently I have seen it hold 26mpg which isn't too bad, but that is taking the trip comp as gospel and I doubt it's that good. Once I fill up again I can update.

Nice motor mate. How do you find the interior quality and build quality of the z compared to your clio?

Interior quality is quite a chunk nicer than the Clio but isn't exactly luxurious plastics etc. The leather seems pretty good and I'm slowly cleaning all the dirt out and then will get some good leather cream onto it as I don't think it's been done before (it's now 5 years old!).
Less rattles than the Clio but the 350's still have a couple of usual rattles that people on the forum talk about. Easier to fix than most of the Clio's though I think.

For some idea of the interior, this is the link to the Pistonheads advert --> http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/788358.htm

The tan (Alezan) leather is a bit love/hate but I like it as it brightens up the interior from the usual black leather. I will try and take some better pics of it and post them up.

I stand corrected in that case. I am sure its the same engine used in the Vel Satis

It was used in the Vel Satis but I don't know of it's design origins etc. I don't mind either way as long as it keeps strong and continues to make a nice noise :)

Nice. If I ever get a Zed, it'll be the last gen engine.

Some Nissan dealers are selling GT spec 350Z's, brand new for £19K - great deals if you have the cash. For me I couldn't justify (or really find) the extra outlay for a new 350 - would have been nice though!

Think 350's look great. I like the sound too although a lot of reviews don't seem to for some reason???

Snowy and un-gritted roads are interesting in the 350 I found this morning! One roundabout was despatched at around 5-10mph with constant twitching and I nearly didn't make it to my exit. I never thought I would look forward to gritting lorries as much as I do now :)
