haha yea I knew I'd get some stick.
Doesn't bother me, I'm happy as trout with the purchase, can't believe someone would call the Z boring tho. I'd hazard a guess and say these people have never actually been in one.
Must be honest, I wasn't expecting much on the test drive after reading so much negativity about the cars performance on certain forums, as soon as I put my foot down I was thinking "errrm wtf, this is properly quick"
You might remember I was struggling with finance too... Well I've been lucky, my mam's give me 5 grand and is giving me a year to pay it back, interest free
That means I own the car outright, If I want to swap it out for an s2000 in a few months time I can but I dont think thats going to happen to be honest. Time will tell!
I will be hanging around here anyway, still love the s2000 after all.

Before you get too bored I would say you definitely need some hsd coilovers, it just so happens I bought some brand new from driftworks and are still in the box they sent them in, I sold my z before I got round to fitting them. Or unpacking them.
They are not only bnib, the hsd box didn't even get removed from the shipping box. Just put in my garage.
I also have a black front z badge (instead of the awful silver Nissan one.
If you want any if these bits pm me I'm sure we can work something out! Ha.

I was planning on hanging about for the banter anyway.

Enjoy your new car. Even if the valvetrain's a bit lardy, it's a bold idea.

My mate bought a Z few years back & I've driven it a few times. I really loved the firm, weighty cruiser type feel of it but is it exciting? Not really.
You have a nice relaxing time with all those torques
We'll thrash the living daylights of our four-pot bangers BWAAAAAPPPP BWAAAAAP!!

I was the polar opposite.
Lived to own a 350Z about eight years ago.
But after two minutes of the test drive I was almost in tears.
The rattling, flimsy plastics and the poor ride sealed the fate of that idea!
And as the sun has finally made an appearance, I think you will be rather disappointed
