I would love to add a pop charger, exhaust and remap but would worry about the warrenty as i prettyt sure if something went on the engine they would blame it on the remap and induction kit...... any thoughts on this?

Wait , i cant wait!

Would be interested to know if the 06+ cars do differ on the spacers, any pics of a 06 or newer car with 20mm spacers all round?

Show me show me !

Hi does anyone have a pic or photo shop of a silver zed with grey rays wheels? Quite interested in seeing what it looks like, thanks

I have just sold my bmw 330 m sport, befor that s2000, clio cup,cupra r, ............ and so on. I have found a lovely " buldge" 57 plate, 17k silver, sat nav, gt and rays.... 16 grand ! Sound exactly what i want

eeer would love to but i am retard and dont know how to

There is a bloke on the e36 forum ( bmw) who does leather restoration kits, have seen some done and the difference is amazing, might be worth a try, would save quite a bit of money.

Evo mag states- 276bhp 268lbft - 296bhp 260lbft - 309bhp 264lbft

Ya still cant believe i get paid to climb trees, getting a bit old for it now though!

Thanks . Now just have to wait for the right one.... i hate waiting! Found a nice one on autotrader for 15700, 06 plate 22k 1 owner, GM , sat nav,gt pack and rays. Sound about right ? Would do a link but i climb trees for a living and cant use a computer or spelll

Not looking at one from a stealer , but could get a warrenty from someone like warrenty direct, but then again i will only be doing 200-300 miles a month so wander if its even worth worrying about. So i am guessing that the 313 are not worth the extra money.

Ya i see what you mean but are they better cars than the 06 plates ? Did nissan change anything on them other than the engine?

Hi everyone, hope your all ok. Just a quick one really, as some of you are aware i am looking for a nice zed at the moment, but i am wandering weather to spend a little more and get the 313 bhp car rather than the 296bhp. What are peoples thoughts on this , are they worth spending another 1500 on ? I am looking at 06 plate zeds which all seem to be around 15k with 20-30k miles on, if i bought one of these i would want an exhaust and remap to try and get a few more bhp out of it, but would i be better off getting a 313 and just stick some pop chargers on there for a bit of extra noise ( as i do love the sound of them ! ) Pros for the 06 would be - Less to buy- could mod as would be out of warrenty Cons for 06 would be - No warrenty- a little older- less power 07 plate pros- warrenty-more power 07 plate cons - more money What do people think ? Also the car will only be doing 2-4k a year, cheer for your help

I thought rather than start another thread i would just ask on this one , as its related . What is the quitest after market sports exhaust you can get fot the zed? Thanks

That looks really nice

Nice looks good, thanks. Wander if anyone has had the front pillars and the whole boot done , think that would look good

Ya any pic will do , just want to see what it looks like really

Hi just wandered if anybody had a pic of a silver 350 with the roof and boot wrapped in black/grey vinyl? thanks

Thanks for that

Right i am proper confused ..... dont have a zed yet but looking to buy very soon. Would it be worth getting the 276 or 296 engine bearing in mind i want it mapped ? Would i be able to gain the 20bhp difference if i went for the 276 ? and whats the expected bhp/ftlb of a 276 with say a cat back exhaust, filter and remap ? And the same on a 296 what could be expected ? Sorry

All this talk of clutch and flywheel problems has started to get me ( perspective 350z buyer ) very worried. Thank you for that info. Also what miles had your car done when the clutch went?

All good things to think about, thanks. No i dont need 2 seats, so either would be ok. Hopefully should get to drive both this weekend. I know what you are saying about engine bearings and other stuff , it is a worry as i could not afford to replace an engine if it went ! Both cars have pros and cons .... i prefer the styling of the zed , and the interior ( 06 plate onwards) as the m3 interior is very dated , but well put together. Guess i will just have to drive both and go from there...... nice choice to have though

Thanks for those thoughts. I do know what you mean about the e46s being boring, having owned a 330ci msport i too found it a very nice car but just didnt really do it for me and i would be worried that if i bought a m3 i would soon get bored of that too, although they are very quick. You seem to get alot more car for your money with the zed. With my budget of around 14k i should/hope to get a 06 plate 300bhp 350z but would only get a 03 plate m3 with 3 times the miles........ but i would have thought the m3 would win hands down on the track and performance wise ......
