Did anyone have a Nissan 350Z?

vtec to vvel

I had an '07 and there are some features I do miss from the 350Z that are absent on the 370Z:

1. stock exhaust note
2. the rounded curvature on the roofline vs the squared curvature on the 370Z
3. rear windshield wiper. why the models in Europe/Asia have this and not the US models is beyond me
4. miss the oil pressure gauge
5. the "bump" on the middle of the hood from the elevated engine.



People give me weird looks when I mention that the stock exhaust note sounds better on the 350Z than the 370Z, so thank you for confirming this. I loved that "Chewbacca" grumble, and always wondered if the OEM 350Z exhaust placed on the 370Z would make that note.

Agree on the 350Z exhaust. The stock set up gave a distinctive VQ sound.
I modified mine a bit. Went with a Nismo S Tune cat back.Added Hi-Flow
cats(Z1). The tone is now pretty aggressive. A negative on the 350z is
cabin noise from the exhaust.The rear wheel wells are in the car right behind
the seats.
On the scratch prone surfaces etc.,this is so true. Nissan uses contractors for
most items like knobs,inside door barrel coves and a huge number of trim items.I "carbonized" most (pretty much all)surfaces. Also,the cheap silver
accents save for the passenger door pull are gone.
Hint:carbon dash kits do a excellent job on a interior redo for those on a budget. Not real solid carbon,dash kits use a a carbon cloth covered in a clear
poly. Very durable.

I do miss the oil pressure gauge. Mine was really a great car. I vastly prefer the look of the 370z though, and the interior is worlds better.
