Cannot. There are absolutely 0 370Z's that meet my demands currently. So I am masturbating over the idea until one hits US soil.

I'd hold out for the Nissan Juke with the GTR drive train!

import you should just save up and buy the Z cash.

The nav you could get alil cheaper then 1k, I started with the base model Z because I planned on upgrading the nav & the base seats weigh 80lbs less then the touring seats. If you want power in the Z, it's forced induction or nothing. In the Z06, cam & bolt-ons and your almost at 600whp.

At the end of the day, These are mod cars. They are built to a certain spec and you need to complete the rest. JDM is all about incredible platforms that need personalization.

You and JDM. Honestly you could say the same thing about any car in this price range.

Nothing is going to be "just right" south of $40k.

I have to jump up to GTR/911 and higher to find a car that I wouldn't feel the need to change anything on.

I'm not even gonna go there with you. Its "Mostly" the domestic visiting ex Z owners always in bicker mode. My comments are backed by the type of modifications you see in websites and tuner shops for this type of car. I'm not getting into it with you. Those who buy nismos and base models I think undeerstand what I mean???

Your statement is true to the global market while mine is a more specified comment for this distinct realm of import vehicle.

You just make it seem like JDM is the only game it town when it comes to the customization and personalization thing, but the truth is just about any popular car in this price range has a tremendous aftermarket behind it.

JDM lags FAR behind the mustang world. You 370Z guys are still trying to master how to tune your VVEL.

All that is a moot point to me, though, as the car will remain either stock, or get a few S-tune parts at the most.

So far I know:

PS2's
Wrap
Valentine 1
Ceramic tint

Other than that, it seems just fine to me, but if the OEM exhaust is too quiet (doubt that), then I might go with the NISMO exhaust, or a different one if it won't void warranty.

You may as well say, "JDM is all about only going halfway, instead of actually doing the job right"...

If thats the way JDM culture is, I hate JDM culture even more.

yah, especially the exhaust is too quiet for sure...

After driving the car, I disagree. I have never complained about that, though. I did loud. It got old fast.

KaienZ34 · 10-27-2011, 05:05 PM

Dude please don't get a Z. You won't be happy and will just rag on it more than you already do. Is it perfect no, but what car is?

Nismoracer · 10-27-2011, 09:27 PM

Its fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. The Z is a FUN car to drive. When they make a 390z or turbocharge it anything to get it a little faster and keep it comparable to the muscle cars i will all over it. My mustang is faster but the overall feel you get in the Z is not the same. It handles like a little race car. I will probably always go from one to the other. I would like to have both.
