Is this partly the fault, at least in the USA, of dealers massively marking them up to absurd levels? Charging $20K or more over MSRP in the first year of release was always going to result in those...

Yeah, things are going to be quiet (especially on the Aussie/NZ forum) for a few reasons:

- The 370Z is end of model life now and the focus for many discussions is the new Z
- The new Z is...

That's fine, you kept the car that suited your particular preferences. Not everyone will make the same choice depending on their own preferences and priorities.

The GR86 threatens the 2.0 Supra for sure, but that car was always a dubious production choice IMO. A 2.0 4 banger just doesn’t fit the Supra legacy, just as it wouldn’t fit the Z legacy.

I think...

What a lovely find OP. A 'barn find' but without the chicken poop all over it! ;) Also like that exterior and interior colour combo, very classy. Enjoy the car.

You can also use a re-shipper. I've used MyUS.com (I used the free account option) and have never had a problem with them to date. Basically you get a US based delivery address (in Florida in my case...

I'm in the market for a CBE now for a richer and more noticeable exhaust note. Came across the XForce and wondering how it compares to the Invidia Gemini. Plenty of Gemini sound clips around but only...

Nice 11 year old thread. :D

I agree, both the 370Z and Z Proto are better looking coupes in my opinion. I think their styling will age better than the Supra, which has a few gimmicky design trends on it (like fake vents and too...

Hmm, not a fan TBH. But I prefer hard top coupes so it could be my existing bias. I don't think the black roof/C pillar thing works - it's a modern automotive trend I dislike. Not a fan of it on the...

Cheers BGTV8. :tup:

That puts it in an uber exclusive club alongside some exotic cars! No wonder I see so many more 86s/BRZs everyday than Zs.

Not great in the long term though, as Nissan need...

Lightbulb How many 370Zs sold in Australia?

Random question I know, but with the 370Z ending production and the eventual 400Z (or whatever they will call it) taking over, I was curious what the final tally of 370Zs sold in Australia was since...

That will be interesting.

I suspect the BRZ will still be the better drivers car. It will probably still lose in the straight line acceleration tests, but I reckon with a decent set of tyres and...

As a former owner of an 86 I've been following the 2nd gen closely out of curiousity.

I don't hate the new BRZ styling wise, but it looks a bit 'off' for me. I think the new nose and the fender...

Why would they bother for a car that now sells in such tiny volumes? With the price discounting that has taken place on the 370Z over the years (at least here in Australia) the margin can't be that...

I bought my Z this year. When deciding on it, I considered waiting to see what the new Z35 might be like, or buying now and enjoying the existing car. Ultimately I...
