check out the forums in your region:

^^^Maybe they can help you find what you are looking for
Thanks, well it's kind of hard to explain. It's got to do with the Australian laws and regulations.

Let's just put it this way, first 3 years of driving = no V6, no turbo etc.. no high performance vehicles.

Therefore i wasn't allowed to drive GTR's, Evo's, Sti's, 350z's ...

Not sure if that makes sense haha

Looks like we're on the same boat going from DC5 to Z33. I myself went from a white 2003 RSX Type S to a 2004 350z. And I'm glad I made the move. You gotta love the torque down low that almost every Honda/Acura lacks.

Save the spending tips for your kin. Besides the dude is an aussie, you wouldn't even have to pay for his food stamps were he being irresponsible.

K, I'm done lol
I was simply trying to give some advise to a young guy that is considering spending a lot of money on a car. I was not concerned with proof reading my post. Thankfully the OP took my post in the way I intended & that is all that matters to me.

Unfortunately you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder but that can be expected being it is the internet.

What are your guys opinions on a convertible Z? I've only manage to find 1 that actually looks good.



Perhaps you guys can link me to some decent looking ones?

Its all personal preference. This should help out: https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-n...questions.html

I got flamed my first time here, so as a word of advice, use the search button when in doubt.

Good luck with the find!

I'm not into the whole hellaflush movement, but to each his own. Do you really want a car that sits that low for DD?

I'd want it fairly low, but probably not that low

Funny when others give unsolicited advice about money and education. If I had listened to you I would have no Z and still be getting into medical school, but now I have both.
