Hi everyone,

The aussie guys have already seen this but I thought I'd post it here also.

I bought my 350Z touring in June 2007 and I have done 5,000km so far. It is completely stock other than the twin pod air intake. It managed a 13.92 quarter mile in hot weather, into a strong head wind.

I have always driven V8 Holdens, so the handling, braking and steering of the 350Z was a revelation.

I absolutely love it...handling and power are great and it sounds and looks amazing. Build quality is top notch. And the automatic is the best automatic I have ever driven. No regrets in not going manual.

Here's some pics:













Here's a pic of my 6.0 litre V8 Holden Caprice, which is where my nic comes from. This massive tank did a 13.69 quarter mile in the heat with only a tune:









The 350Z replaced one of my favourite cars, my 5.7 litre V8 Holden SS:

 

NICE! I remember when mine used to look like that What are those little squares below the headlight?

 

Welcome!

 

lookin good man, where in melbourne r u ??

 

probably them things that pop out and wash the headlights off, like bmws, volvos etc....

 

Yer the window washers, I think it's pointless but have been caught out using them.

Great to see another Z in Oz, gotta love that HR!!

 

Correct they are headlight washers...absolutely useless. The button is right next to traction control, so sometimes you're driving along and go to switch off traction control and instead you end up spraying water all over your newly washed bonnet. Unfortunately Australian Design Rules, which weren't developed with common sense in mind, make them mandatory where a car uses xenon lights.

Dieselmcore, I'm in the inner north.

 

Nice cars.
I'm diggin' the driveway too!

 

very nice congrats.
