I guess you have your own opinion, but it seems that your getting rid of your GT-R because of lack of fun on the street mirrors my opinion of the car. Great for the track, boring on the street, no thanks.

Can't wait to see how your 370 turns out!

Absolutely. Our opinions mirror eachother, but the facts about the car, you sir have it incorrect. That's as far as I'll go with the GTR topic as the facts will stand and each will have their own opinion, just like any car.

yup it claws through the pavement. Whereas the Z gets a little tail happy if the entry balance isn't right. The GTR eats up corners like nothing, with no drama, just straight annihilation.

Nitrouz,
Good luck with your new 370z once you get it. As Juno stated earlier, we made the switch a little while back and the Z is def more fun at legal speeds.

I do miss the space in the interior of the GTR though, the Z is a bit cramped for me but she fits in it just fine. Then again, I'm a tad bigger than average. So it may be of no consequence to you.

We've got the Nismo and we are super happy with it. Just upgraded the h/u and the nav in the kenwood unit is pretty much OEM quality and fit and finish on the unit is very very good. Since your plans involve so much mods, the Nismo probably doesn't make much sence for you, but if you were to just lightly mod the car, I'd say the Nismo is the perfect platform.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the Z immensely.

Hey thanks mate. I don't think I'll mod this 370z as much as my old 350, but I do want to do the basics (exhaust, suspension, kit, wheels, turbos). I guess that's all the Nismo inclusions, but I want aftermarket. So I guess a non-nismo would be best suited for me.

Anyways good luck! Hope you and Juno enjoy the car!

Your "basics" is more than 90% of us will ever do.

hahaha thats what you think now =p, but i dunno a lot of the fully modded balls out cars i've seen start off as "basic" mods that just seem to add up and add up.

There have been a few times on the track when I've gone into a corner way too fast, expecting to end up in the grass (or a tire wall), but the GT-R just stuck. I'm going to be slow the first few times I go in the Z while I'm learning to trust myself in RWD again. And as much as I love the 6MT around town, I'm going to miss the DCT on the track. Until we bring the next one home, anyway...LOL

it took me a while to get used to the GTR on the track. At first I was tracking it based on my experience. It kept understeering no matter how I adjust my suspension. It really started to piss me off and I went faster, and faster, until a point where your mind logically thinks you're going TOO fast. That's when the GTR comes alive. You don't squeeze the throttle after the apex. You PUNCH IT. That's how it adjusts its balance. And it pulls it straight out of the corner faster than any other car out there.

that was my impressions based on driving it hard on the road, i'd love to take a few 7/10th's laps in one on track sometime tho

Well, you sure know how to start a popular thread. That was a great looking 350 Z you had. Have fun with your new 370 Z if you do decide to get it tomorrow.
