Hey guys and gals,

I am looking at getting a 350z after I sell my 93 Mazda Rx7. I would just like to get into something more reliable than my 7. Love the way the Z looks and performs although it is no RX7 it will be good enough and it has potential.

I guess my questions would be are there things that I should be aware of when I buy the car. Any things that should be taken an extra special look at. Im looking at either a blue, sunset, or black one those are the only colors that I would consider. I have never driven one how are they to drive.

Thanks for any help and comments on what my next step should be.

 

not sure how reliable they are. already have gone through one flywheel/clutch and an engine. As far as black be prepaired to spend a lot of time trying to keep it looking good. Hope you like driving a dump truck because these babies drive ruff.

 

Thanks for the info...any details on how you already went through all of that already especially the engine. I drive a 7 and so I know how the dump truck feels and it cant be worse than what Im used to but my car does corner on rails. Thanks for the info though.

 

I was told by Nissan that the engine failed due to a bad catalitic convertor, and that the clutch was good for normal driving and would not stand up to any ruff treatment. By ruff they mean don't try to go up a hill since it will cause the clutch to slip and thus ware out prematurely.

 

I would take the 350z over an rx7 any day.

daddy Z likes to be ruff on his car from what i hear

 

that is like the pot calling the kettle black. I still have my original Z after almost two years HeeHeee HEEEEEE!!

toykiller ..... lives up to his name .... he has already killed one

But really the rx7 was and is a great car .... just needs a lot of care
