Oh, according to the video, Nissan did away with the numeric prefix. The new one is just a "Z"...

If the NISMO Z version has 450 or more hp though, I seriously might consider it. All depends on the dreaded EPS feel. Idk how people can feel connected to the road without a traditional rack and pinion.

OT: Car lookin good OP

I would almost think it would have to, to compete in the Mustang/Camaro market. The 5.0 Mustang starts at 460 horse and around $41k. I assume the Chevy is about the same. (Personally, I don't like the aesthetics of either, lol)

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think it still has a steering rack, but the power assistance is electronic instead of hydraulic. Many car companies are adding this for autonomous driving features (lane keep assist, different levels of auto-pilot, etc.)

My WRX has EPS and that system doesn't provide the best feedback. It's not unnatural, but I could not feel the suspension load through the corners on the track like I can with the Z34 hydraulic system. It's not impossible to make a good EPS system though. Porsche seems to have mastered it if you believe the reviews.

Makes sense to me.

She looks really great man! I'm at about 40k miles; bought mine 3 years ago with around 27k miles. I got very lucky with mine too as the previous owner worked at the original dealership it came from.

Serviceing is key and lots of oil changes

every 5000Kms

I just brought a JDM import 40th Anniversary Edition 2010 done 145000Kms.

1 owner Japan import grade 4.5 out of 5 . .brand new cars are grade 5

Has yours still got factory shocks ?. My E51 Elgrand GTR came with jdm fitted aftermarket shocks.

KMO-II · 09-10-2021, 09:18 AM

Everything is still factory except for slotted rotors & short ram cold air intake.

Nice. I love the way 370 has all media options and working easy ,,, My E51 Elgrand has them and bluetooth but havnt sorted it yet with the 350z . .

The E51 Elgrand is 4wd HWS that came with GTR badges , so ?? it has options I have never seen and have owned a few and seen many , It goes very well and handels much nicer than a hiace . LOL

350 is 12/04 build. heated eletric leather seats , auto. bose and sat nav . I think its a Base with Version T going by nissan epic data web site ..
