z32bolt Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Fairladys and the other global names such as 350 etc have been labelled under the z.. chassis tag since the z31 or the orginal 300zx from the early 80s. the earlier 240z,260 and so on are labled slightly differently. If you label the up as the relevant z number its easier than saying fairlady as it could be any number of models and esp for the z31/32 owners saying 300zx you could mean either, and they are very different beasts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 This is the latest figures from the DVLA on the number of Zeds in the UK...Jan 2013 350Z GT4 159 Registered 4 on SORN 350Z including GT and Imports 5705 Registered 207 on SORN 370Z 1472 Registered 63 on SORN. Anybody got anything to add. ?. Shows how badly the 370z sold Be interesting to see that figure by year and separating imports, oh and by colour and if they are GT spec.... Yes I work a lot with figures and statistics and they give me the horn True but why didnt the 370z sell. Massive engine in a day when everyone else was shrinking due to high petrol prices? When the 350z came out it was more than the sum of its parts IMO and it was cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangzoom Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I looked at the Infinity G37 saloon as replacement for my 350Z, but the engine was simply too thirsty compared to what BMW/Audi had on offer . Whats more worrying is the fact Nissan/Infiniti still don't offer a 300bhp engine that can offer anywhere near 30mpg combined (370 is quoted at 26-27mpg), compared that to the M135i that has a combined 35 mpg. Ofcourse you can argue that if your buying a 300bhp+ car your shouldn't care about mpg, but given super unleaded is now nearly £1.40 I think most people would prefer a car that does 35mpg over one that does 27mpg. Personally I don't really care about mpg, but the fact my new car is more "economical" than my 350Z certainly kept my wife happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 350z modern looks and how its more of a sports car than a grand tourer, its a nice car but weighing the two up il be sticking with my z32 and spending the cash on that instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
