Lee370Z

Your car looks very nice.

That does look well smart! Mine are 25mm on the rear but not entirely sure what the fronts are. Thanks for the experience share regards the spacers.

Cheers I'm happy to leave them on and I see the 370 as more of a cruiser than something you grab by the scruff of the neck, so they won't make any difference as far as I'm concerned.

Good spot it has I didn't even realise that it had them until I got it home because I wasn't familiar with them at all. When I look at one without them now I can notice the difference and the wheels do sit better in the arches I reckon. I think spacers are quite controversial though from what I read and some say that they ruin the handling.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Thanks!

Hello everyone. I've had my 370Z a few months now but I forgot to introduce myself in here. I used to have a S14a 200SX(slightly modified) years ago and I test drove a 350Z Roadster back in 2006 so I've always had a soft spot for a sporty Nissan. I've been over the moon with the car and the previous owner had put some essential(to me) mods on the car by upgrading the exhaust/intake(a custom stainless exhaust with hi flow sports cats and a stillen gen 3 intake). I've added a stubby aerial and 370Z floor mats(about as far as I go in terms of modding!!). A few pics.

Very nice and that is identical to mine, enjoy it.

Fantastic pics and it looks like you all had a great time. Thanks for sharing.

I looked around one last week at my local dealer and I don't mind the rear end and the interior, but the front end is gopping for me.

I think that these look lovely in white. Very nice!

Yes and I've got a Mini Cooper S where the tax is a similar price to your BMW and that is doing 40 mpg too...so it makes the 370 seem pretty expensive to tax and fuel!! Thanks. Yes and I love the looks of the 370 with the roof down as well I've never been much of a fan of a fabric top when up either, and I prefer a folding metal top in that regard because they can look a little bit more like a Coupe roof up.

I've joined thanks!

Not on the Roadster though because they stopped selling them in the UK way before 2017. The Coupe is much better looking though for sure...because you can still buy that.

Absolutely love these and that looks stunning! Enjoy the collection when the day comes.

The road tax is a stinker and I do get a bit frustrated paying £575 for a car without a V8 engine and massive performance(compared to other cars in the same banding).

Agree with that. As with any car though it is better to just enjoy it and worry about the depreciation later I reckon. I've never made any money on cars annoyingly!!

Agree! and I had a Cerbera 4.5 for 6 years and I absolutely loved it to bits in terms of noise/power to weight ratio/sense of occasion/performance...but it was a world of pain reliability wise and a massive wallet drainer sadly. I sold it 7 years ago and I thought that I was brave enough to dip my toe again on a Chimaera...but I bottled it because of their age now and the need to constantly fettle them. I do still love TVR's big time though and I still pop over to my local owners club every now and again.

I was originally looking to get back into a TVR but I wasn't quite brave/daft enough after my previous experience. I test drove a 350Z Roadster back in 2006 so I've always really liked them, and I had a S14a 200SX from 2002 to 2006 which I adored. I had a search in Auto Trader saved of both the 350Z/370Z and I noticed this one and the fact that it had a few little upgrades made it really appealing to me. It was for sale in S****horpe and I think that it had been for sale for a while, but I took it out and loved it, so I had to have it.

I've had my manual 370Z Roadster for 3 months now and I love it to bits, paid £13.5k with 44k miles on it(2011 model). It has an upgraded intake and exhaust which really adds to the experience(I can't believe how quiet they are as standard for a fairly large engine). I do think that a late 350Z Roadster offers better value for money though because the 370Z is still depreciating a fair bit, whereas the 350Z seems more static from what I've seen.

I saw this at Trax Donington and I thought that it was a stunning car. I love what you have done to it!

I so wanted one of these but I couldn't afford the insurance on it(26 years ago now) and I ended up in a XR4X4 instead...but it was the Fiesta RS that I really wanted though.

I also saw the Supra at Donington and I liked the exterior but I thought that the interior was a bit of a let down. A good shout on the 200sx and I loved my S14a big time.

I've got spacers on my Roadster and they do finish it off nicely I agree. They are such a lovely looking wheel too.
