Lee370Z

A fantastic history of Z cars you've had! I really enjoyed reading that thanks.

That is one of my all time favourite sounding engines.

Welcome. That looks very nice, enjoy it.

I've used the same one as you for a few years now. I put it back on the 370 yesterday now I know that it won't be used again for ages. I had it on it all the time over the colder winter period and it does keep the battery fit and well.

The GT86 was on my list when I was looking to buy my 370Z but I will admit that because I've been used to torquey engines in the past...I think I would have been slightly disappointed with the performance of it. I also have a F56 Mini Cooper S with a 2 litre turbo engine(only 189bhp) but I like how torquey it feels low down(although it only revs to 6500rpm though). With this new turbocharged GR86 coming out it gives me a very good option to swap the 370 for one if I ever fancy doing it. I'd have another S14a 200SX tomorrow given half the chance and I absolutely loved that car.

It wasn't that highly regarded as a NA engine with the torque dip though in fairness. I'm really excited by this new one and I modified my 200SX from 200bhp to 250bhp and that was pretty much perfect I thought for road use. Fast enough but not unusable fast. 250bhp and around 1200kg is a lovely sweet spot I reckon. Although I did think that 420bhp and around 1200kg in my Cerbera 4.5 wasn't too bad either!!

Now that is music to my ears. I've always been a big fan of the GT86 but I personally wanted more performance from it and I wanted it to be turbocharged like my old S14a 200SX. This is great news!

Hello and welcome. A cracking Z you have there, enjoy it.

Congratulations. That looks lovely. Enjoy it.

Congratulations and that is great news. I will look forward to the pics.

Hello and welcome. Great to see another 370Z Roadster owner. The wrap looks awesome and I really like the colour.

Totally. I wish I was one of those people that buys something that appreciates...everything I've ever had I've lost a fortune on sadly!

This.

I've never found it a problem and my 370Z is on a NI plate and I've had a E92 M3 as well that was on a NI plate.

Agree and they are both cracking cars and both will put a smile on your face for sure.

Both lovely cars for me. I guess it depends what you like best, but I prefer the engine more in the 370Z but I like the lighter kerbweight more in the BRZ.

Great news that you are keeping it and I bet it sounds awesome with the decat! The small tank and range used to hurt me when I had mine too...the petrol station attendant becomes your best friend for sure!

I've always loved the shape of the 350 but I also prefer the 370 shape more(just). Both fantastic motors though for sure. I've always lusted after the 350 GT4 Limited Edition in Yellow...after I sat in one when they first came out.

Less than £200 on insurance is excellent. I pay £316 for the 370 and I was happy enough with that as it is a little bit less than I pay on a 2017 Mini Cooper S. The 370Z certainly gets under your skin for sure. I can also forgive the 22 mpg because I'm only doing around 2500-3000 miles a year in it. It would hurt if I used it daily though. I've run a V8 as a daily a couple of times in the past and the fuel bills ruined me!

I think a lot of it is psychological...and the £570 on tax I pay on my 370Z just puts me in a mood when I think about it for some reason! Plus knowing that you could also have a bigger engine and more cylinders for the same £570 tax doesn't help either. I do agree with what you say though and it shouldn't be a deal breaker when you consider what you spend on the car in other areas.

I've got a Rose Black 370Z Roadster. Cheers.

Agree with this too and they really benefit from the improvements you mention.

I love that colour blue for sure(super rare) and your car looks lovely. The exhaust tips look nice and meaty too with them being bigger than the standard tips. I will keep an eye out for you because I'm not that far from Lincoln.

I like your style!

Love the upgrades!
