thank you for your ongoing info.
Just popped to the nissan garage at lunch (just to have a look around a free-fiddy-zee. But they didn't have any in. Had a chat with a saleman though. Sort of helpful but was definately trying to prise me away from the 350z and try the older jap cars (skylines, silvias and supras. and EVEN the 225 or 3.2 TTs).
Not sure what to think now until i've actually had a sit and drive of a 350. He did agree though, massive road presance, mint noise ect...
