20 Years of the 350Z - has it aged well?
Discussion
Gutted I missed out on one of these before kids came along. I nearly pulled the trigger on a lovely deep blue one. I still love them, there used to be a Nismo kitted one up the road from my mum, always admired it as I walked past! My mate has had a silver 370Z for years, although I don't like it in that colour. Shame we're not getting the new one

That is a proper head turner I reckon. I love the colour!
Agree with this, that is a stunning car.That is a proper head turner I reckon. I love the colour!
She actually nicked the colour off me, I found a picture of a Viper in this exact wrap and sent her a pic of it as I liked it. Off she went and found out who made the wrap and got it fitted I think it accentuates the lines of the car really well as it looks very dark on the flat surfaces and then pops on the curves. The gloss black accents she's fitted work well. Underneath it's the dark grey they come in which is my favourite colour for 350's, along with the Rays wheels which are a must.
She moans does moan it's slow but she has a strange grasp of speed and size I think. Every now and then she wants to swap it for another 306 Gti6 but I remind her she sold that because it was too slow and that the Evo 8 we replaced it with was "too big" for her. She absolutely loves it deep down and it was her dream car for a long while (aside from an R8).
She'll miss it when she sells it I'm sure.
Compares to the 370Z,i think the 350Z has the more 'cleaner' look in its lines,and its also considered more of a classic due to the F&F movies and Gran Turismo. It will definatly be remembered more over time.
I think what cheapens the image of the 350Z slightly is all the cheap ones available with hideous body kits and wheels on.

Mines thrown me it’s first mechanical failure today in 9 years of ownership
I’ve gone to put the car back on the road after a 6 month lay up only to find the coolant tank empty. I’ve not looked too far just yet, but I reckon it’s either the rad, the bottom hose (top hose was dry so it’s lower down), or the water pump seals have packed up.
Bugger.

Still like how they look though have seen some badly modified examples. The only thing that really ruins this car is the soft top models...They're like the perfect hairdresser cars
That's an outdated view. Hair dressers or any white teeth & tatts social media types drive german-owned stuff, i.e 1 Series Cab, Range Rover etccerb4.5lee said:

You won't like mine then! 350z was always a bit too blobby/jelly mould/heavy looking for me. Not enough exterior details, & a bit bland in the common 'grey/silver' didn't help. Reviews at the time said it didn't seem that quick for the power? Glad it exists though.
370z looks better resolved/detailed to my eyes. Yours is looking good Mr Lee!

Thanks!
It will be coming out again to play next week. I haven't driven it since the 11th of October last year, so I'm really looking forward to getting back in it again for sure.
