So I decided to finally trade in my 08 350z with 47k miles for something a little nicer and found a deal on an IPL I could not pass up. A 2011 with only 4k miles ($33K) that was not sold until 2013, so I still have a bumper to bumper warranty for 2 years! I will be parting out my 350z HR, which means a bunch of goodies are soon to be for sale. But here is what you want to see:

350z:


G37 IPL:

 

Nice, congrats!

 

in to find out what HR goodies you have
no ppe longtubes by chance huh?

 

Congrats, very nice!

 

Mods that will be for sale next week: motordyne v2 exhaust, art pipes, stillen ceramic headers, injen dual intakes black, ur crank pulley, uprev, etc..

 

Congrats on your IPL G37, but I predict you'll also miss aspects of your Z33. Having driven and enjoyed the IPL version, the sporting aspects of the car are different than the Z, which is harder edged. Depends on what your priorities are, but increased weight and understeer, together with a modified throttle response and auto trans make me stick with the Z.

 

I will miss my 350z but it was a money pit. Having a base, I was never satisfied with what it was and kept dishing out too much money. With this car I just get on and drive. It has all the goodies: bbk, springs, exhaust, rear view camera, LSD, traction control, sunroof, and so much more. I wanted a combination of luxury and sport and feel this is the perfect mix! This is my third car ever and is so far the nicest thing I have ever driven. Hopefully, my feelings don't change, because right now I'm in love.

 

Congratz on the new ride Just curious though, what were you dishing out the most with the Z?

 

Performance: exhaust, intakes, headers, art pipes, uprev, spacers, springs, speakers, amp, carbon fiber pieces by Tony plus all the install fees and everything else.

 

beautiful IPL, for on demand performance - this is an awesome car, it will get up and go whenever you ask it... unlike a manual 350 (its fun most of the time, but sometimes it sucks waiting for tranny fluid to heat up etc)

 

There aren't many IPL's in my area. Nice cars though.

 

throw some KW V3 and sway bars in there and you'll get "some" of that Z feeling. I have them on my 08 G and its probably one of the best mods I've done.

 

very nice!

 

Congrats on your ride man, Im sure it will be a huge difference between the two. Keep us posted with any modifications regarding your IPL.
