Wow - that one is pretty bad! My front bumper is not too bad at all but the back bugs me from time to time. Truth be told though I think I'm the only person who ever notices!

She'll say anything to get a new handbag You lot know her too well My other half hates the whole idea of replacing the exhaust! Is the Stillen meant to be tamer than the Akroppvic - I thought it was louder than the Akro...?

What ya having done Colin?

Sorry. A manic week at work. The sun is due to shine tomorrow, camcorder charged. :-) Clip below. Not the best but I'll have a proper drive by one done by tomorrow. Hi Waltong Sounds great - I am thinking of getting this system. Would you say it's a good system for someone who wants the car to have a bit more growl but nothing too mental? I definitely do not want something that sounds too 'boomy' or constantly very loud under normal driving conditions (I live in a quiet road and value my good relations with the neighbours ) I just want something that sounds a bit more sporty that the stock.

Don't let the road noise put you off mate - it's such a great car in almost every other respect and the Bose stereo helps!

Hi all, I've been thinking about whether to hang on to my current 370 when the finance agreement comes to an end in about 18 months. I had assumed I'd trade in for another but I'm starting to lean towards hanging on to it for a few more years until Nissan make some significant changes to the Z. If I do, as well as a new exhaust system, I'd like to address the one issue that has always bugged me - the lack of colour uniformity on the rear and front panels. I know this a well known issue with the white Zs but from pictures I've seen it seems to be more of an issue with some cars than others. . A lot depends on the light - it seems much more noticeable when the wheather is dull (dirt doesn't help either). I've attached a couple of shots - one taken in good light and one in dull conditions when the car was in need of a wash. I'd like your views on whether a decent body shop would be able to repaint the panel and create a better match. (I am thinking of using Sumo Power in Rye for the new exhaust and I think they also do paint jobs, so it could be that I could get it all done in one go.) I'd also be interested to know how long you plan to keep your 370? Cheers all! Good light Low light

If you have touch screen, USB etc I am fairly sure you have Connect Premium. Ours is an 09 DVD based system and it doesn't have those features. As I've posted in previous threads, it seems that it's not uncommon for some dealers to not know exactly what they're selling. I've no idea how Connect Premium systems are updated but someone on here will know. Enjoy your new car

No word of a lie - my girlfriend (who let's just say is not quite the clean freak I am) had a mouse living in her old car (which was in regular use at the time) for several months. She's an animal lover and couldn't bear to evict the little fella. Needless to say, I am in charge of keeping the Z clean! ......Dont tell me she used to take a little bit of cheese with her every morning as well Mouse in car is VERY impressive!!!! Its that time of year when spiders come in from the cold. We have loads in the house atm. Ive got a full time job throwing them back outside for the missus. I really dont know how she spots them, but if theres a spider in the room she knows about it straight away. She must have some sort of spider sense! Ditto! Mine reckons she can sense them!

Big voluptuous hips, turns heads, makes you happy after a shot in it. I beg to differ! Oh hang on, I forgot drain on the finances, likes a drink and droans a bit on motorway journeys!

But even so isn't it still really expensive considering the mileage? Just curious, what would you put it on for if you were selling it? Bit of a tricky one, as now the MY2010 cars are going, and this is obviously a 2011MY car, then there is no need to distress sell this car. However, I think in this current climate anything over list is very optimistic. Looking at the car, it’s a GT Edition with an auto box, I can’t see any other options on the car, so the list price on it is £36450. It has done some miles so conceivably it’s a demo, so some write-down should be attached to the car. Personally if was my car to move on I think it should be around £32-£33k Sounds a lot more reasonable! Still, I guess if they can't even list it as the right model it's no big surprise that they've over-priced it!

Have fun with him . (I am bucking the trend for "her" as my better half has argued (and I can see her point) that the 370Z is too powerful and aggressive looking to be a "she") Enjoy your new car!

+1 Does this one have all of the optional extras they you can possibly get on? I thought you could spec one up to £42K £42K ouch! Can't see anything special in the feature list, but they probably just used the generic spec for a 370 GT Pack. No mention of reversing camera, for example. Even if it does have all the options, it seems very pricey considering the mileage (demo car maybe?) and the current market. Nice car, but it looks a bit like a Black Edition with the cool red bits removed. Be great if approved dealers actually new what they were selling (I've also seen a standard Black GT Pack listed as a "Black Edition" recently).

Isn't all this stuff about petrol prices / mpg / tax a bit of a red herring for most of us? I know we'd all like to pay less but isn't the truth that we just take it on the chin because we want to drive such a great car?

I agree - one of them was citing the rear brace ruining the boot space (!) and several people were going on about the supposedly poor quality interior - both issues that the 370 does not suffer from! Said it before...say it again: Love having a car that turns heads because its not as common on the roads as the usual suspects. I'd be disappointed if they became as common as the TT, Boxter etc

Just had to Google ISF to see what they look like.....Urghhh

I'm no expert, but our 370 is about 2 years old and has approx 11K miles on it. Never had any problems apart from a minor issue with dodgy boot springs needing replacing. It's my first car so I can't compare it to much (apart from the 1.2 Fiesta I diesel I learnt in ) but I'm absolutely totally in love with it! Very likely that I'll be sticking with Zs unless something totally amazing comes along at a similar price, which seems very unlikely!

Just for interest, although the 09's come without the HDD / USB etc it is possible to conntect an Ipod or other MP3 player using a simple analogue cable which connects to a jack in the little storage compartment between the seats. I use this method and it works well - you just don't get the track information displayed on screen etc.

Ha ha, I'll happily do so if someone could help me with two things -: . 1) how to blank out my reg.plate from the video I've already taken 2) how best to upload full 1080p video clips that range from 200mb to 350mb Errrr pass and pass!

Ello - weren't you going to post a vid of your new Stillen in action?!

I think someone posted a picture of a Black Rose GT Ed. a while back and I remember that the stripe wasn't very prominent. I could probably live with it on a Black one (since I'll be buying second hand if I get in one in about 18 months, I probably won't have much of a choice!)

And the stripe as well I guess? Think thats optional. Personally its too "911" try hard for me, I wouldnt have it. Ahhhh I didn't realise that! Good news for me, as it's the only thing about the GT Ed that I'm not keen on.
