Hello from scotland

RB2 · 07-30-2013, 12:36 AM

Morning 370z.com. I am on the hunt for a new car a the 370z is on my list of potentials. I desided to sign up and get some hints on what to look out for. I like to mod as well and usually have a car modded in my head before i buy it.

I currently have a 2004 BMW M3 that i've had for 5 years. Its low miles but there are bits of rust starting to show due to scottish winters.

My questions will be

-Any common faults/recalls

- Common power gains if any from bolt ons (keeping it N\A)

Well I am off to search the site

so hello from scotland

Welcome aboard.
Fun to drive and the car looks really good.
Common issues are steering lock (recall) and CSC failure.
Common mods CAI, CBE, and pulleys and manifolds plus tune. You can only pull so much from the car with bolt ons. You can check here for starters.

Thanks alot.

Yeah the looks are pretty striking. Great value for money as well i think.

I looked at evo x's but they are sh1t quality and reading into them they seem to pull themselfs apart.

The other attraction is the amount of aftermarket parts choice there seems to be with the zed.

thanks again for the advise

Anyone got any experience with the e46 m3 SMG box and the auto in the 370z

Just wondering how they compare

I have a couple I want to go and see once I get back home from work next week
