Haha yeah I have checked. They’re not there. I think this maybe a result of the linear nature of the nismo suspension whereas the Meister R coilovers I had were progressive.

Right, so after having the nismo for a few weeks I’ve arrived at the conclusion that the nismo oem suspension is bloody hard! 😂 On my last z, which was a 350z HR, I ran Meister R coilovers and I swear the nismo oem suspension is far stiffer. Either that or I’m getting older 😂. Can anyone confirm for me whether a set of coilovers can improve the road comfort of the nismo? There’s a lot of b roads round me and it’s struggling a bit. Any advice?

Also I bought a set of resonated short tails off Facebook. Fitted them. Didn’t like them, too loud around town. So I polished up the nismo back box and refitted it for now. I had an Invidia Gemini on the 350z and that’s defo what I want on this as well - I loved that exhaust. Better start saving.

So today’s little job was to get a full alignment done. I was pretty sure it was out as it was too twitchy. Sure enough toeing out on one rear and in on one front. Felt a lot more stable on the way back.

White 66 plate nismo parked outside Wivenhoe House in front of my red 66 plate nismo.

Ok I have answered my own question so let’s put it here for anyone else. The Britax First Class Plus fits the 370 nismo. This is a group 0/1 car seat so 18 months to 4 years forward facing.

Right first problem with the new car seems to be finding a front facing car seat that will fit the seatbelt positioning. I’m looking for a group 1 - so front facing with a harness that fixes in on the seatbelt. Has anyone managed to find one that fit properly? Please 😂

Ok, here it is. Finally home. Better pictures once it’s been cleaned and detailed. Which it needs. Glad to be back in a z, definitely feels how I remember.

So it’s been a while since I’ve been here. After having a little one in 2021 I had to sell the 350z HR and since then have been relegated to Octavia VRS life. But good news! With the arrival of a new family car for the wife, I can now get back to having a z again. Picking up a 370 nismo in the next few days. Can’t wait to get stuck in again and already have a list of mods - many of which I’d already done on the 350 but hey that’s how it goes sometimes. Pics incoming once I collect it!

Welcome from Colchester. Lovely looking car!! Great colour.

It’s easy to keep a car looking good and feeling tight on low mileage. Try it when it gets used properly haha. Bought at 73k in 2017, now on 100,500k. 08 HR. It got an Invidia Gemini for its 100k birthday :). Sandwiched between a bit of paintwork on the boot lid and oil gallery gaskets before Xmas and a clutch over new year.

Yeah of course mate. Ive had other cars and been to shows for years but tbh it’s my first show with the Z as well. As above, there’s a few of us meeting at the services at 8 then we’ll convoy in from there. I’m just hoping I don’t get caught in any traffic etc because of the distance I’m coming haha.

Yep I’m about ready. Spent the day dodging heavy rain showers to get her washed and polished. Then realised I still needed to get fuel due to my early start tomorrow!!

Convinced the other half to get up early so it’s a 5am start for us from Colchester haha. Aiming to meet you guys at Rownhams.
