300 to 350?

[CRPZ]

I own a '90 Z32tt but I'm having struggles maintaining it financially.

The car itself is amazing and I'm completely in love with it.. but all of my money just goes into repairs - I could sell it for about 9,000 right now if I tried, and use that money along with some cash as a down payment on a 350?

But before I do that, I would like to know some pro's and con's of the 350 and what I should really be looking for when making the purchase.
Should I get a 2003/4, or a 2006/7? Why?
How is it different than the Z32? (Aside from speed)

Thanks for your help!

I'd steer clear of 03/04 models, besides being on the road longer (and invariably having more miles) there's a known issue with the power window motors and the transmission used in those years isn't as beefy as the CD009 used in the 06/07 models.

The 06 can potentially have the dreaded RevUp excessive oil consumption issue but has the improved CD009 transmission as well as the nice bi-xenon headlamps and the led tails.

But if you can swing it you should pick up an 07, it will have all of the good stuff from the 06, none of the bad stuff from the 03/04 and the beefy VQ35HR engine.

With both vehicles in stock form, the the 07 350Z is faster than the 95 300ZX by a few tenths of a tick in both 0-60 and the quarter mile.

Looks like I'll have to save up a little bit for an '07 :p

Sounds good though.. I watched Tokyo Drift again last night and it made me want a 350 that much more.. lol

As long as you stay with a Z and stay on Nico I will be happy.

Hahaha there's no doubt about that man! If I find a better Z32 than mine for a decent price, I'll consider taking it over the 350!

Even if you get a Z33 you can still drop by and chit chat with us.

Of course! After all, 300zx General is where I was raised.. lol

me too!

I'll have to decide when the time comes - Either to buy another Z after my car sells, or buy a 94 Accord, make it look clean, and move out..

Ah decisions, decisions..

[300ZXttZMAN]

No!!! Why would you want an Accord rather than a Z.

[CRPZ]

Haha so I could afford to move out!

[300ZXttZMAN]

Haha so I could afford to move out!

Screw that haha I still live with my parents!

I promise you that you will regret it if you buy an Accord and you will make us all sad ..

You could always move out and get an SER so you could stay true to your Nissan roots and NICO family.

[CRPZ]

Lol this is true^ We shall see.. :3
