I was a mod too, that's me on the nearside taken in 1967 . Pete

Thats not surprising really. How many years has the 370z been out? 2 or 3? If you look at the sold figures for the 350z, for example, in 2008 they only sold 768 of them, so they seem to be selling at a similar amount per year. Yes but that was 768 at the end of a 5 year run not the start Whatever way you look at it the 370 has not been very popular, lots of reasons and doesn't make it a bad car or a silly one to own just a rarer one Sold around 2,000 a year from 2003-2006. That number was a quota, they could easily have sold more. Pete

You could put some very interesting cars together Pete

Wow. At 1.01, looks just like an Austin Maxi Pete

Yeah, you'll need an impact driver. One of mine got stuck despite the fact it was torqued on correctly, you'll also need a new set of nuts, the genuine ones cost a small fortune. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_driver Pete

Not just expensive to run but expensive to repair. The slightest bump at the front end sets off what's called the pedestrian system which has to be replaced as it's a one use device. 11k to repair what to us would be a £500 job at most. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/127250-accid ... i-did.html The only way really would be to buy a low mileage one, do naff all miles and sell it after 18 months or so Pete

Just got my stubby after 5 years Pete

Some will be for Irish imports which for some reason were the 300 version. Pete

I agree, looking at some of the old classic zeds, even now, they are not worth much at all, so i dread to think exactly how many decades you`d have to wait for a 350z to start holding their value or even going up in price. Who knows what future generations will regard as Classic, in any case I've never subscribed to the theory that only good cars will become valuable over a long period of time....it's all down to how rare the car has become, take for example the Jowett Javelin, a car that was besieged with problems yet even a wreck fetches good money these days, or the Ford Anglia that had one of the highest production runs of any U.K car. One of these in decent nick will set you back a small fortune. Two of the worst cars I've ever driven, The Morris Minor and The VW Beetle are now regarded as Classics . But, yeah, if you are waiting for The 350Z to become a valuable Classic then you'll have anything from a 25 year upward wait. Pete

Welcome along Looks to me like it could benefit from some spacers on the rear, hard to tell from the photos if the fronts also requires spacers. Actually, you only "need" spacers if the wheel is fouling the brakes, but they give the car a much better stance Pete

Those that aren't in accidents will probably start hitting the scrap heap in around 2014, 12 years seems to be the life of a car these days, by 2016 we're probably looking at 2,000 to 2,500 Zed's and by 2020 numbers will be in the hundreds Pete

Don't think anyone is importing them these days. The savings to be made from 2003-2006 were substantial, these days with plenty of U.K models available at 7-12k I doesn't look to be a viable proposition any more Pete

Shame on them Pete

A Midnight Blue! Pete

I agree with Dave, the second one is overpriced by at least £500. Pete

Well worth setting the alarm to 6.45 for Pete

Not much chance of fouling the rear wheelarches Pete

I think the weirdest thing was a mole . In the past my cats have also fetched in a Kingfisher, a fully grown male pheasant, how on earth it got it through the catflap is anyone's guess. There's also the mystery of a baby duck I found in our hallway as there isn't a pond within our cats territory. My mum used to live just over the field to me and her cat brought about 50 stoats in over its lifetime and well over 100 squirrels. I've owned about 40 cats and not a single one of them has ever caught a squirrel (or a stoat) Pete

Sounds like me . I've been driving for so long it's just something I do without thinking My 3 would be 1. People that don't switch their lights on until its almost dark 2. Phone users 3. tailgating Pete

Not me, but my Uncle was a Grand Master, or something like that a few years ago. I guess it worked for him as he worked his way up to director level of a well known ship building company that employed 10,000 people at one time. Pete

I think the Zed name will be retired in the next couple of years, it just doesn't make economic sense for Nissan to carry on producing them in the present climate. As for downsizing then I'm not sure that's an option, a Nissan 200Z just wouldn't sound right. Fuel will be £2 a litre within the next 5 years and just like the gas guzzling American cars of the 50's to the 80's The Zed will be looked upon as something of a dinosaur soon. There'll also be a worldwide drive for cars with lower C02 emissions so Nissan and other non exotic companies making sports cars for the masses will be looking at something pushing out 150-200 bhp with a lower CO2 footprint to bring road tax down to around £200. Pete

Yes, they use North Wales for a lot of the low level training stuff, sheep obviously don't get too upset about it . When I was about 14, I nearly jumped out of my skin when a Vulcan bomber came out of nowhere about 200 feet above me in the Bala area. I've also seen Hercules testing below me in The Vale of Clwyd when I was standing at less than 300 metres . Haven't heard a Sonic Boom since the 60's though. Pete

No, like mine yours is actually an MY03 model, mine was also reg'd in 2006 but manufactured in 2005. FYI there is also an MY02 model, rather uncommon here as they are all JDM imports. Pete

How about this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350z-G ... 500wt_1413 Pete

Nice, GT4's do fetch more than ordinary Zeds. Ken is the expert on these, I think he keeps details on GT4's that come up for sale That red one, the tail pipes need a good clean Pete
