What do I need to know about the Nissan 350Z?
Can't really justify getting one (have a Porsche 944 with quite a few quid invested although annual insurance is now down to £135). And a baby.
But everytime I see a 350Z on the road I just think 'wow'! Looked at a UK spec car on sale for £8k a few miles away, but it had a cloth interior I know I wouldn't be happy with. Wisdom please ....

If you want leather, on a UK spec car, you'll need one fitted with the GT pack (heated, electric adjustable leather seats, cruise, Bose hi-fi). The majority of 350Z sold in the UK were GT cars, so you should be able to find a good one. The only other option of note was light weight Rays wheels which were available on both GT and non-GT.
You want a facelift as they done a lot of changes including an 80% revised engine with a lower center of gravity, a higher rev limit and 80% of its torque available from 2krpm, better quality interior, xenon headlights, led rear lights among other minor changes to drive train etc. You also really want a gt model as it comes with all the toys such as the bose sound system, leather seats etc.

As above.You ideally want Nav as it removes the awkward cubby hole.
Facelift has a bonnet bulge as well which I think makes a big difference and has 310bhp against earlier models 276.

VQ35DE 276bhp/6600rpm which was in the original model.
VQ35DE 'Rev-up' 296bhp/7000rpm which was availible in the limited edition GT4 version of the original model.
The 296bhp engine was then made standard in the facelift version (Bi-xenon headlights, LED taillights, upgraded interior trim)
Finally there was the VQ35HR 309bhp/7500rpm which had the bonnet bulge to accomodate the taller engine. This car was much quicker than the earlier models, certainly much more of a performance gain than a mere 13hp gain would suggest.
Innovite 2012 show car - 350Z full wide body kit with Vortech supercharger install....price now to sell @ £8k!!!! That is stupid cheap.
If that doesn't get your juices flowing nothing will
