BHP ratings are same for all MY's of Z34 base and sport, with higher ratings for the Z34 Nismo, which was also same for all MY's.

"Best" would probably be 2012 (oil cooler, other little bugs fixed) or 2013, if you prefer the different front fascia, wheels, and other little cosmetic refreshes. For the 2013 Nismo, same body kit, but wheels are gunmetal and its equipped with SS brake lines (if memory serves).

Most buggy will be the first MY for the Z34, 2009 (ECU whine, etc.).

That said, the best will be the one you can afford -- awesome sports car for the money

Well, in 2013 they started rating horsepower at the wheels, so the actual engine power had to increase for the same power rating.

Okay, okay. I think the lesson in "searching" has been more than taught.
That's all folks.
