Nissan 350Z - Pics before it goes!

[MattT]

A good mate of mine is selling his Z before buying a house, so I offered to take some pics before it goes.

Not done a shoot like this in ages - and typically, the weather over the weekend was shocking!
Anyway, here's a few pics...

Got to say as much as it's a lovely looking, great sounding motor - the stopping power of these bad boys was the thing that stood out most for me in comparison to my Type-R. Amazing.

Good mate thanks! Didn't think you still frequented this place?! Haha.
Yeah still got my FN2, although getting itchy for something new now tbh. What's the spec of yours then Ad? Can't believe how cheap they are these days!

Good Mr Gally! Hope alls well with you and the Puma! Went out in the one local to me recently - awesome! Such a rare beast now though.

Am still around Ian - not got much time for CivInfo tbh though if am honest. How's your motor?

Sup f00l.

Yo. Yeah I know what you mean re the Z, but the FN2?! GTFO! lol.

Nice pics.

Thanks for the Reply Matt. Frp is good. It's definitely a car that was built for summer!

Recent winter protection thread of mine has some decent pics.

Looking into something else next summer possibly.

Hope things are well mate.

Quiet you...unless we are going to start on spec omissions!!

I tend to lurk these days mate rather than post. I picked up a MY09 Milano, Rages, HiDs, Bluetooth, iPod (strangely got both options USB and Ipod lead) 25k on the clock, was a real bargain considering the price they have been an what it was new 2.5yrs ago.

Yeah me too tbh! Still, can't bring myself to leave!
Sounds like a good spec! I was after a Milano too when I got mine, but loved the silver with the Rages when I saw it. Are you still local to Wigan then Ad? We should meet for a few shots, wouldn't mind getting more practice in on car shoots. Got a pretty good location (as above) near Standish. If you're interested let me know!

 

[Gally]

Anymore pics of yours Matt. You avatar shows up on Tapatalk looks immense. Massive fan of the FN2 especially in Silver.

 

[Ian_182]

Hi mate and yes Ive still got mine.Its been faultless and hasn't let me down once.I had planned on trading up to a new shape M3 next year but Ive just moved house so will now be keeping it for a few years i think.Still a cracking car though and it still looks the part,Ive also got rages and i also have the GP kit and mine is milano on an 08.

The only gripe i have is the bloody seatbelt,i have fold it over the recaro to have ease of use as it goes too far back and i find myself stretching to get to it.

Nissan missed a trick on both the 350 and 370z. Neither are particularly good.

Not any recent ones really mate! Am probably due a few new snaps tbh, added a few bits recently.
There's these pics, but think I've uploaded these here already?

Yeah I have the same thing - got used to it now though! Also found the Bluetooth system can be a 'little hard of hearing' at times too. Quirky!

Yeah I'd probably agree really, it's *almost* there, but certain things let it down. V6 is a peach though.

I loved mine. I would also say they are thought very well of as well!

Humm...I'm with Matt, aside from the nice sounding V6 lump it's not that impressive.

Feels heavy, because it is heavy.
Looks a bit pony
Stupid rear torsion bar makes the boot useless
Brakes felt wooden
Driving position was ok, but steering wheel height was either too high or on your knees.
Heated seats were w**k. Off or BURN your ass off
BOSE was extremely tinny!
