Fervidia Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Personally, I prefer the look of the pre-facelift front end, but I was wondering if anyone knows any more noticeable differences minus an engine tune-up? Which one do you prefer, and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Which 350z do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) The differences have had to pointed out to some its that minor, tbh they look so similar i am indifferent about it, the changes to the interior though are far more noticeable and more effective visually. The HR is the better looking car due to the bonnet. Edited February 25, 2018 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An imaginary one; there's space on the drive, and money in the bank, but 'the one' for me has not surfaced in my searches yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) For me the HR bonnet is functional and Nissan used it as they had too. Sleeker DE profile is win imo, same for the front bumper overall. Edited February 25, 2018 by davey_83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Nice shot @davey_83, it looks like a chrome wrap it's so shiny. The rev up is a mix of both, you get the HR interior bumper and headlights, without the engine and bonnet. Some are renowned for using a bit of oil, but I've done 4k in mine last year and not used any. But it's good to check the oil regular in any car, but especially a rev up.

Does anyone know why the HR's can start to consume tonnes of oil? Is this an issue that could be fixed, or is it some strange anomalous occurrence that means you'd better go and get another Z?

Jetpilot Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 It was the rev up (some of) that had an oil issue, not the hr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 HR's have occasional issues with the oil gallery gaskets. I've heard with the rev ups some consume a fair bit, other hardly any, but not sure on the cause. If you can try and test all 3 versions, but a comprehensive service history is the best thing to look out for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
