Nice little write-up

Don't be too worried about missing out on the Sat Nav because it doesn't do postcodes! The 2010 model will (plus proper iPod itegration) but all you get at the moment is a aux in. You can play MP3 CDs though.

Your mpg should improve as you get her run in. How many miles have you done so far? With regard to the gauges, I like the oil temp but miss the pressure guage. I suppose we can't have it all!

It's interesting about the stickers. When I ordered mine I asked for them to be left off so I had the choice of fitting them or not. However, the car arrived off the transporter with them on so I didn't get the choice. Are you able to buy them from the dealer?

Paul

As Paul says, dont be too worried about the 2009 Satnav, its not the best. I waited out until the MY2010 models were announced to order mine specifically for the new uprated satnav and entertainment system upgrades that they got here in the US too. The 2009 one you have to use AUX in for iPod and the unit doesnt control the iPod.

MPG always improves after the car is run in and a oil change or two so dont worry about that either.

I agree with the 350z feeling more sporty, it was just a bit more of a brute, but the 370z's new refinement and upgrades more than make up for the small loss of brutishness.

With regard to the exhaust, I know what you mean. We have a member on our site who has put a Stillen CBE on and it makes such a big difference, pretty similar to a Nismo on a 350z, very nice sounding. I have one sitting in my loft for when my car arrives. The chaps at Stillen are brilliant and it was no hassle importing it (and a Gen 3 intake). You can see Colins thread on his exhaust here - 350Z-UK.COM The Nissan 370Z Owners Club • View topic - Exhaust and wrapping done

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply - I purchased the stickers on the US eBay and had them sent over. Do you like them on your car? What do other people say about them?

Cheers, Paul.

Cunning! Are they exactly the same as mine? I only ask because different European yellow's had different stickers.



Initially I wanted the car without them fitted so I had the choice. They have grown on me and I do like them (shame the corners are peeling off a little). I think now I will keep them on and I've only ever had good feedback.

I swear im moving to the UK one day, that country is beautiful, every single picture you all take is breathtaking. And i'll agree with Paul, the Stillen exhaust is AMAZING.
