Been looking for a while for something i havent had yet. A nissan 350z sounds pretty good right about now. Now to find a touring model since i love leather and all the extra bells and whistles. Now the hard part is purchasing one that hasnt been beat to crap buy a young kid or made into a drift car, since drifting is the "in thing" now. I still own my 300zx, fun little car just bored with it. But the possibilities of a 350z are endless for me. Definitely gotta re freshen up the engine and suspension. Any in put on them, pros and cons? I been searching the 350 forums for a while now, so been learning as much as i can. Anyone have real world experiences with them??

Really I don't see the point in buying a MKIV, just get a SC300 and save a fortune in the process. It's the exact same chassis as the MKIV is derived from the SC, all of the suspension and drive-train bits are compatible. Put the SC300 on a diet and you're good to go, plus the SC body is stiffer. Unless you just have to have it for the looks, it's silly to pay that kind of money when there's a significantly cheaper alternative.
Let's put it this way, you can easily have a 2JZ-GTE SC for less than the 2JZ-GE MKIV and still have money left over. This post has been edited by Box: Aug 1, 2014 - 3:17 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

I like sc300, i would have to find one that isnt already stripped, hopefully finding one that is manual. Im doing research now on them. Great platform |
