Did anyone have a Nissan 350Z?

alcheng · 10-21-2019, 05:35 PM

had a 07 350z roadster before switching to a 370z roadster in 2011.

the 350z is a nice car to drive, but that's it, speed it up to 180km/h and the vibration is just so horrible like it will fall apart at anytime. the interior is cheap plastic everywhere. I like it but it doesn't make me want to keep it.

it's huge difference to the 370z especially the chassis is much better and more stable.

Depends on the year of the 350Z. For the ‘02 to ‘06 models, I agree. For the ‘07+ HR models, I think the engine is solid and is the most related to the 370Z VHR engine.

the 350z is a nice car and the 370z is an improved version in all aspect..... maybe except the exhaust tone. However, I think Nissan purposely lowered the exhaust tone to reduce the interior noise level.

The 370Z was very much so improved coming from the 350Z. Suspension a lot better and weight distribution is more efficient and improved according to Nissan. The exhaust note through is too quiet and leaves a lot to be desired so doing exhaust is a must do.

I did, Blue 2004 Z which I TTd with forged engine and tons of ancillaries.. was quite a cool car. Sold it in 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNbGpJLeTNw&t=1s

I never owned a 350, but I drove my buddy's all the time in college. I loved driving it and that was all it took... 8 years later, I bought my '12 370. The 370 def feels beefier as far as power and handling, but the 350 was crazy fun to drive.

2004 350Z. Owned her for a week shy of a decade and put 261,000 miles on the odometer before I laid her to rest.

I had a pearl white '07 350z... no mods except electronics. Sold it in 2010 when I moved to NYC... got into a 370z when I moved back to FL in 2014.

my350z.com used to be cool, until the 350Z’s dropped low enough in price to where the civic kids could buy one and now run by ricers. Just a matter of time before the370z.com is run by those same ricers.

Must be the angle, but the first pic looks like the back end is popping up.

What I miss:
-stock exhaust note
-rear windshield wiper
-oil pressure gauge

What I don’t miss:
-smaller rear quarter window
-everything scratches so easily
-cheaper interior
-rear strut bar in trunk

Everything bolded could have been said for 370Z

Not really....but you’re entitled to your opinion.

Loved my 350z, and a lot of good memories of it. It was my first fully functional car - everything worked, and that was a novelty in itself

I had mine for a bit over 50k miles. I did hate the cheap easily scratched interior and the lack of high end grunt, although it definitely had more immediate torque than the 370z. Anyone who thinks the 370z has the same problem being easily scratched has just never owned/been in a 350z for any length of time (and God forbid your wife or gf operated anything in the 350z with long nails).

I had to start taking my watch off to drive it!

Lol yup. When I let my wife drive mine, I knew I'd always come back to at least 1 fresh scratch.
