Realize I am being sarcastic with this guy, his post are close to trolling and all of mine have the eye rolls or wink, which hint at my sarcasm.

xiven 07-28-2009 03:27 PM

yeah...i know...i forgot the emoticon

His sarcasm detector must be broken...

Edit: I can't spell :shakes head:

theDreamer 07-28-2009 03:38 PM

Can not spell, along with other things. :p
Sorry xiven, missed it by that much. :D

xiven 07-28-2009 03:38 PM

TX, you have a speed pass on your car?

wait.... wah?!

Im so confused and i blame Dreamer :confused:

xiven 07-28-2009 03:41 PM

I looked at pics of your car, and it looks like u have a speed pass on your windshield

theDreamer 07-28-2009 03:42 PM

He has posted pictures?
Most likely it is an EZ tag, what we call our system for toll roads.

TX_370 07-28-2009 03:42 PM

Ohh... its an EZ Tag used for our tollways.

So, i guess the answer is yes.

EDIT: damnit Dreamer, post slower!

theDreamer 07-28-2009 03:43 PM

Never, I am one with the internet.

xiven 07-28-2009 03:44 PM

yeah...i call it a speed pass, but it does the same thing. we have one here for the one toll road we have in the whole state. :shakes head:

theDreamer 07-28-2009 03:45 PM

We have a few just in Houston, not sure if EZ tag is a state wide system, hope it is. Wonder if someone will adopt a national system ever, would be nice to not have to avoid toll roads in other states.

I need to update that Cardomain page... I got my Kenwood DNX6140 installed, put my Fairbadge on (finally), and picked up my new plates yesterday.

Yup, I am pretty much out of money now :(

Way to link to a Canadian site, what plates did you get?

whatever, just let them think whatever they want, cuz at the end of the day VQ37VHR > VQ35HR :owned:

i like how they try to make a statement by putting "350Z HR" instead of "350Z"

also i just noticed they call our engine the VQ37HVR :roflpuke2: :nutswinger:

At least the HR doesn't overheat. :happydance:

No, you're not 'old school' - you're just in a BMW. It doesn't happen in BMW's - but it DOES happen in Z's, because we're a community. And it happens in England too. Envy is a terrible thing. Just buy a Z and get happy.

Those 240z pics are just B E A U T I F U L.

...and what on earth are you guys talking about - there is NO rivalry between 350z and 370z - it's only a few male egos strutting their stuff.

that has nothing to do with the motor itself. yes nissan fk'd up on not adding a oil cooler, but not everyone has that problem, therefore VQ37VHR > VQ35HR :owned:

NIZMOZ 07-29-2009 12:51 PM

Actually it has everything to do with the motor. It's getting hotter vs previous versions. It shouldn't be getting that hot in the first place to need a oil cooler.

Everyone does have the problem. They just don't all drive the same.

kdoske 07-29-2009 08:13 PM

I drove around 70 on the interstate for 600 miles non stop, well one bathroom break, and the hottest it got was 220. Normal driving I think it will be fine but if I took it to the track I would definitely install one.

Hope the oil cooler becomes one of the new NISMO parts that come out this year, whenever that is....

gnarf 07-29-2009 08:25 PM

fastjimmy drives a bmw...bmw drivers have no sense about comradery...cuz their cars are a dime and a penny a dozen

Smallywood 07-29-2009 08:41 PM

All model Z owners I see nod at me and I nod in return. They are all Zs after all...

g96818 07-29-2009 09:48 PM

man, u should read the 370 hate thread on the other site. an 07 nismo owner kept insisting his 350 is lighter than the 370 :shakes head:

i did a quick search and posted the true weight of his car, which he infact posted himself about 2 yrs ago. turns out the base 370 is over 200 lbs lighter than the 350z nismo and our touring is about 150 lbs lighter. dang guy made 4 posts trying to defend his nismo and a mod shut it down :roflpuke2:

i think all the haters there were 07-08 owners, but a few of them tried to calm the rest down.

Actually you might want to read this thread.

http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...light-car.html

The 370z and 350z weight the same pretty much.

370z base w/sport weights 3323, 350z NISMO w/full tank weighs 3352 which is the 2nd heaviest 350z made. Compare a Base vs Base you might be surprised that the 370z actually doesn't weight lighter than a 350z.

i think u should go read his own post were he quoted 3385 lb with less than 1/4 tank of gas. i'm just stating facts here and if u don't like it then :gtfo2:

He did no such thing. 3325 with over 3/4 of a tank left. Maybe you should go back and read it again. :icon18:

PS, it does help if you actually read that was a G35 Sedan he ran back in 2004 where you are trying to tell him he is wrong when you can't even read the posts. LOL

His NISMO 350Z weight is in a different post.

Ditto. But most other Z owner give an initial jaw drop or a passenger finger point usually accompanied by a mouthed "Holy $hit - its the new 370Z!"

Seriously I have had zero 350Z hate on the roads. A few Z31's wondering why/who I'm waving at ;)

The only grief is from the guy who just bought the 350Z and found out about the 370Z a little too late and now he's trying to justify why he bought the 350Z. Because its a great car dude.....

When I drive a bus I wave at other bus drivers and they wave at me. Its quite the community you know. Haha if only they knew it wasn't even my bus or that I don't even drive a bus for a living. I just hope there never comes a day I'm pulled up at a light and the bus driver beside me finds out my 24 passenger with the short wheel base is stock.

Regardless I get free waves out of the deal all the time - suckers!

Settle down Sweetlips, the bmw I have is my pimp mobile..I just dont have the need to wave to everyone so they can wave back at me and fill that sense of insecurity that the wavers need...nothing to do with comaradery..

xiven 07-30-2009 10:02 AM

bmw definitely are a dime a dozen around here

To be accurate, the HR engine doesn't have a "limp" mode if the oil temp gets above a certain point. Nissan discovered that they were having bearing issues when the oil temp went about 300 (due to the materials of their bearings being changed a few years back) so installed the limp mode to compensate. Haven't really seen a good study on HR oil temps under stress yet.

cow 07-30-2009 10:50 AM

I've only seen one 370Z on the road since being back from Zdayz. We ended up talking for about fifteen minutes at a rest area.

No 370Z hate from this 350Z owner.

how is acknowledging or waving at another person insecure? please do explain...im pretty sure you have waved to somebody in your life...are you insecure???..i give every1 a thumbs up..nicely modded evo's, ferrari's, m5's..not so much 335i's..those guys think they are faster than M3's...
I, myself, have no shame when I give someone props for driving a nice car in a world where 100hp priuses rule the world...someday...we may never see a lot of these sports cars due to CAFE regulations...i think going on a 370z forum and bashing the Z while being a bmw owner is pretty insecure to me..much more than waving...you should quit sippin that haterade, go back to bimmerforums and should cyberwave your fellow bmw owners...cuz it seems like you are too insecure to do it in public
