Lets avoid two threads on the same topic. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/112762-370-oil-gallery-gasget-failureby-by-engine/ I'll close this one for now.

Congratulations

Sorry to hear this Pete, all the very best to you both and I wish her a speedy recovery.

Yup you are safe Andy if you are making the final payment and buying the car.

You will find lots of similar threads on the forum but to summarise from my experience (and to add some negatives to the pot) Positives: - better quality interior - synchro rev match is so awesome, one of the best bits about the upgrade. - the looks, it's subjective but the side profile with those alloy wheels is lovely, I keep finding myself looking at reflections of the car as I pass Windows. - better sound system. - more power, I came from the first gen 276bhp 350 and it was a big step up in power for me - connect premium is a fantastic system, it's been pretty faultless across a large part of Europe. - it's an evolution of everything that the 350 is but it's not a revolution, don't expect huge changes in an upgrade. - dip stick is no longer god awful to use. - traction control / esp system is far less intrusive, more subtle in the 370 - much prefer the 370 roadster roof than my old 350 Things I miss about the 350 - the stock exhaust is far far nicer on the 350z. I was really dissapointment with the stock 370 exhaust note but that's easily fixed - I found the 370 tram lined far more than the 350 - seats are more comfortable in the 350, mind you I am a bit of a giant - the 370 is shorter than the 350 and I found this noticeable, it's a tight fit for me at 6ft7. - the 350 felt like a more raw driving experience, you were more connected to the road in that car. You are aware of a lot more technology between you and the road in the 370z - people have said the road / tyre noise is definitely more noticeable in the 370 and can be a pain for some There are things I miss about the 350 but would I go back no. Over 5 years on after upgrading and I still love the car but don't expect a huge change, especially if you are coming from one of the newer 350s. A few people mention that if they had not looked down at the interior they would have felt they were still in their last gen 350. My advice take one for a spin (with a non stock exhaust) and see how you feel.

Happy birthday, enjoy

All the very best and have a great birthday Nic.

Not down in Dorset but give me a shout for the meet ups and I'll head over

Moved to the correct section. Good luck with the hunt for an exhaust

Great little video, bet you will look back at it fondly. Good luck with the new toy whatever it is

Skoda Octavian diesel. Brilliant car, cheap, economical, I'm no longer worried every time I park in a supermarket car park. It's also one of the best performance mods I've bought for the zed, as every time I jump back in the zed it feels twice as fast as before and sounds like thunder.

Congratulations to you both, very well done.

My solution is to put the roof down, tyre noise is hardly noticeable then

Wow cracking views there

This may help re the window. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/105742-window-reset-procedure-clarifiedi-hope/page__hl__%2Bwindow+%2Breset+%2Bprocedure

Didn't even know it was out! That was silly, releasing alongside FH3. yea just like another project cars scenario brought over from PC and it is just a mess on console I wouldnt touch it at present. Reviews are bad and a die hard friend of mine who loves racing games and has bought it says its broken and needs significant fixes. It is broken far more than PC ever was and that was bad, however now its awesome so time will tell

I get that but it almost feels like I'm floating as opposed to driving on the roads. I didn't get that in the previous FH.... could be just me, the demo or the combination of both. Was interested if anyone else felt the same. Exactly my issue. I had to check my wheel a few times as i thought the ff wasnt working properly but go off road and it kicks in. The road feels like you are driving on an ice rink with no feedback whatsoever. This was via a limited play of the demo though

Looks like its going to be a quiet, low key event by the numbers..............

Happy birthday down there, have a good one

If you are doing stelvio make sure you try out the scenic quiet road up there. From the south head up and just after the top with all the bikers keep going, start heading down and around a few corners and you will see a building with a junction off to the right. Trust me and take it. I'm my opinion this road is far far superior to the main stelvio hair pins and no one uses it. Got some other road gems I can pass on too. Came back a month ago after our second visit. Have fun

I'm rather liking it and I wasn't a huge fan of the previous games. Looks amazing but something isnt quite right with the force feedback, too smooth on the roads. Good sense of speed though.

Looking forward to trying that. I had read some thought it was going to be available at 1am this morning but it has been delayed, or that info was a placeholder and not correct. Sure does look pretty and looking forward to trying it. I hope they have beefed up the car sound effects

Difficult to say without seeing the car as each case will be different, but for me 4 owners in 4 years could be worry, but if on seeing the car all looks fine and its been regularly serviced and looks good then perhaps a bargaining point. It would put me off a little though as i'd be asking myself "why..."

Yup i believe he did
