A nice car. If I hadn't bought my S2000 a couple of weeks ago, then it would've been one of these.

Another boring one - how do you find the insurance? When I was getting quotes, the 350Z was ALWAYS at least 50% higher, and more often than not it was more like double??!!
Under £400 with esure, including legal cover!

nice car

cheap enough insurance and 25mpg won't hurt if you aren't doing the miles

I knew that Mazda was a mistake though - people can't give them away for good reason

will be interesting to get periodic running reports on the Datsun

A couple of mates have had these and enjoyed them, one changed the air filter and unusually the plenum chamber, it made the car more responsive and sounded better, although I remember seeing 8mpg whilst on track.
I also remember one lost 40bhp(found out on a dyno day) due to fitting the wrong type of aftermarket filter unit, the oil from it upset a sensor in the inlet track by fouling it with oil from the filter.
