You found a house for $300k in Seattle?

Hi Mookie,

It looks like you really kept your E46 clean.

Both of the cars will be front engine- rear wheel drive. BMW's have a different driving feelcompared to a Nissan. It won't exactly be an upgrade, but a chance to drive something new and learn from it.

What do you like best about the Nismo ?

I test drove a Nismo on Saturday. Biggest issue for me is that i couldnt see well out of it, especially when merging to the left...Suspension was harsh and i'd wanna go lower so it'd only get worse...other than these two complaints i loved the car.

Was it a new nismo that you test drove? If so then there is a high chance it still has the spring spacers up front which makes the car ride like it has no springs. Without the spacers, it feels 100 times better. It is still rough but still better.

As for blind spots, adjust the mirrors and you shouldn't have a problem. When I drive in the z I would lean forward a little to look out the left in order to make sure I can change lanes. As for the right side, I would have the passenger seat adjusted just right so that when I turn my head I can see through that little window.

Car was a 2009 with 12k miles
*** 2009 NISSAN 370Z *** (only 11104 miles)

Suspension i can handle, i dealt with a slammed M3.

On the blind spots, i did adjust the mirrors to the best i could before i took it out for a drive(any car i drive i adjust mirrors first). I didnt try your trick of leaning forward which might be a good solution. Mirrors are never to be trusted 100% so i like to look over when im merging.

Uh oh.......More of the white stuff. Dsmn they are running rampant with the color.

Anyway, I am sure that the more you drove it, the more the smile would increase. All I had before I deployed was F.I. TDX and the car was a blast. Good luck with whatever you decide......

:icon17: that's how we roll 24*7 Rob.

Good point about the spacers Cell.

What exactly is a spring spacer?

A spacer on the springs for shipping, it allows the car to sit slightly higher and not 'move' while being transported.

Here you go, read this thread: http://www.the370z.com/nismo-370z/12...ere-first.html

From the looks of it, it may still be on the spacers lol... Maybe I am wrong but it looks like the car is quite high.

Oh yeah.............and it's Red. You should get it dude! :stirthepot:

Guys,

With all your help i have made my decision to go with a Z
