HEADPHONES Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) I was reminded today how much I love the Zed horn. Snowing in Manchester today. Driving to work on a dual carriageway and some dumb bint with snow covered side windows decides to try to cut in front of me without indicating obviously not seeing me in the left hand lane. Immediately banged the horn and she aborted her manoeuvre Had I one of those daft horns on the indicator stalk I would have probably snapped it off as I slammed it! What little touches in your Zed have you come to appreciate? Edited March 4, 2016 by HEADPHONES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-89 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 the fact it makes me giggle like a little girl when I put my foot down, not exactly a 'touch' but it's still epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Obviously I haven't got my Zed anymore but one thing I loved was the dashboard layout, ...in particular the central RPM counter with shift light indicator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-89 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 oh an actual touch that I love... the design nods to the original 240, from overall shape to the beautiful dash cluster all directed at the driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 They way people look at my car as if it's broken when I go round slow sharp corners =) KAAZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I like the way it inspires confidence over my dire and vastly overrated M3 (E46). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINKJ Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 That there is nothing on the road that compares "bang for buck" (as the Americans say). That's always a nice feeling knowing the z is something special and not a German barge for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I like the way it inspires confidence over my dire and vastly overrated M3 (E46). Still suprised about the vast difference in opinions regarding the e46! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Also getting in and starting my Zed is an "event" even 6 years on . Edited: because I can't spell. Edited March 5, 2016 by ZEUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I like the way it inspires confidence over my dire and vastly overrated M3 (E46). Still suprised about the vast difference in opinions regarding the e46! IMO the 46 felt heavy even though the Z is similar in weight it feels lighter. The rack wasn't quick enough and was only really sorted in the run out CSL and CS models.The standard brakes were shocking and needed uprating. The engine sounded like a tractor on tick over even after a Vanos rebuild. I looked after it, dealer inspections done to schedule etc etc. I literally swapped it for the Z, couldn't wait to get rid of it. I do however like the E92 M3 and thought it was a vast improvement all round. The Z makes me look out the kitchen window constantly, it's a damn fine looking car. The seats support me just right, the wheelbase is short enough for rear end slides to be caught like a go cart. The steering feel and lock aren't the best I've experienced but it's damn close. The noise on the HFC and Miltek sounds great. Some say the Z seating is to high, coming from the M it feels like I'm sat on the floor which is great. I love the rear haunches viewed through the mirrors, it's reminiscent to a Porsche or the Racing Puma I once owned, lovely. It's a positive car and attracts nice comments, in the M people thought less positive thoughts I'm sure. The Z forum is one of the best I've used, Cutters was a less pleasant experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The way it makes me feel. The attention people pay when you drive past. EG; I was refuelling one time and a guy driving off after filling up pointed to my Z and gave thumbs up. Always turns heads. Then there's the sound the V6 makes. It has a lot of road presence and timeless looks. You wouldn't think it was 13 years old! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul K Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 the fact it makes me giggle like a little girl when I put my foot down, not exactly a 'touch' but it's still epic I get to drive through 3 tunnels when I drive to my office in Welwyn Garden city. And like a 12 year old I still wind the windows down to listen to the noise it makes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) The Zed forum and the member thus far that ive met with!! Back to the car: Arches all round i think are sexy as F**k!! Driving position and low scuttle panel R34 GTR brakes Aluminum hood The low end lb-ft from the BIG V6 When parked up after driving in the rain once the water spots have dried, you can actually see how the car's aero directs the air flow/rain mist neatly around the car - i think thats cool. The very lightweight RAYS 18's alloy wheels *why ever change? The fact that it has a carbon prop All the little Z detailing on the 350z and - - - designs everywhere Digital speedo option David Edited March 5, 2016 by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPod Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I love the compliments its been getting recently like last week went to tesco and a woman in her late 60's goes oh my god love the look of your 350z. I was shocked to be honest as most people even younger have no clue what it is (also was debadged haha) then she brought her husband out his car for a look and he was like give us a rev please haha no way would I get this with any other sports car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I like the fact I have a button that, when pressed, makes the exhaust and engine sound come alive. It's awesome. I'm surprised more people didn't have this fitted when they bought their Zeds. Edited March 5, 2016 by Juggalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano94 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 fell for that one. Too eager for new mods lol. I can see where you're coming from, didn't shut my boot properly one time and the exhaust sounded amazing.

The Trouser Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I still love the fact that after I've parked up and walked away I'll still look back and think "yeah - that's one helluva car" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ukeraa Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) I love how driver focused it is. I was never a confident driver until I test drove a Z, I fell in love . I love the comments it gets, it's definitely a head turner! People are always surprised when I tell them it's 10 years old, because my Z is immaculate and the design doesn't make it look old.

GeorgeW Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I love my zed, I've never had a car which I have looked back at whilst walking away so many times. And not only me, these are all from the past two weeks: -I drove through Welshpool and everyone I looked at was looking back! -After washing the zed yesterday, three boys playing on bikes were mouthing 'wow' and came over to ask questions. -a Lorry driver at work came over to compliment the zed. -a girl was looking at it at tesco and looked at me and smiled (much to Rhians disgust!) -went to the green machine (Aqua scaping shop) and the boss came out to see what the fuss was about when all his staff were outside! -man at service station gave thumbs up. It's not just us driving them who feel giddy, the zed is loved by everyone! ..expect a skiddy couple in Oswestry who when walking past the woman goes 'it's just a Nissan. It's a shed' naturally I was quick to ask what she drives - public transport lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
