Craig's 350z
Well had the rx8 for around 4 months but felt like it was time to move on.
So I have ended up with a Nissan 350z GT
It has 28k with full service history an is completely standard.
Don't have any plans as of yet apart from removing those disgusting reflectors from the doors!
Only have dirty pics just now apologies.

Must have similar tastes, I took loan out for exact motor but only found one at time in orange colour, then mrs announced she was preggas and it all fell through. Stunning car tho. Love the other guys in white on the forum

Great choice of car. I have had my GT4 for a few weeks now and love it!
It is a big, heavy beast but also great fun on the twisty roads, although may not be as fun as the rx8 on them
I have driven my mates rx8 quite a bit, don't get me wrong its a great car but I much prefer the Z

Thanks
I'm the same I much prefer the z to the RX8 it's true the mazda felt more nimble but this just pulls better in every gear and I like the sound of the V6 over the rotary

The noise it makes is addictive. I have a scorpion y-pipe back on mine and sounds great
Not much louder than a standard back box but brings out the v6 a little bit more
Hate the massive slash cut tailpipes though
Looks great in black by the way

There are a fair few options for exhausts they all sound great I wish the intake noise was abit louder tho
Thanks I was abit unsure on the interior colour but it's grown on me

I drove a few of these when I worked at the nissan factory. Didn't like the driving position too much as it felt like I was lying on the floor but these have a lot of power. I remember sliding out in one and nearly shitting myself haha.
Nice car tho man.

I don't mind the driving position an the seats hug me pretty well an I'm quite a skinny guy.
My arse does start to hurt after driving in it for long journeys though!
It used to take abit of commitment to get the RX8 to slide not had the traction control off in this yet

It was in the snow when I slid out like, I was only moving it across the yard to another spot. Decided to floor it around the corner. Not a good idea especially when it had like 7 miles on the clock haha. I didn't hit anything luckily tho haha.
My mate had a RX8 and he said the same, used to be hard to get it sliding

The tan interior is a bit bright but looks better in person than in pics i think
And i agree, there is no induction noise. Getting an induction kit (or pop charger as the z guys like to call them ) will be one of the few mods I'll do i think
It seems pretty easy to get them sideways. Shat myself on the day i got mine. Road was a bit damp after rain and the back end stepped out quite a bit from just gently accelerating off a roundabout, with ESP on too. Good fun though!

Yeah mine has the seats, gear stick and bottom of the wheel in that colour
In the pictures I thought NO! But in person I quite liked it, set it apart from normal black leather.
Have seen tbose popchargers but just looks like any other open cone filter to me :\
I've not had the chance to test the car properly yet
It's nice to be returning better mpg and be going quicker for it now though lol

Exactly what I thought, apparently they have a ring that creates a venture effect but I doubt it will gain anything
What MPG are you getting? Mine is usually around 20 on a normal, short run but had it up to 29 on a motorway which I though was pretty good

Low 20s for me as well but that's mostly the 6 mile journey to work and the same back on a run i was pleasantly surprised with it
Was gettin 17mpg in the rx8

Still no real updates
Had the car serviced by a main Infiniti dealer as they do a discount for forum members
Amazing service! Best I've had from any garage.
Was a P2 service an had my gear an diff oil changed at the same time.
Chief mechanic told me all 3 oils were actually not too bad when they were drained but piece of mind for me really.
Also let me know my rear tyres are close to limit and my front brakes are close too but I should still see another few thousand miles from them.
Everything else seemed good which I'm happy about.
Can't help but feel that with the car having such little miles on it but it still being 10 years old I'm gonna get hit with all the wee bits needing changed lol
