I didn't buy it in NZ. It was purchased from here.

It all came in around $2,600 (NZD) once I paid for shipping/customs fees and installation etc.

Interesting fact Bronzee. Although, even though I got the 7AT, I find that quite unusual. Must be a Brit thing (commuting and all that). Like I mentioned, if the exact same car had been available in manual, I definitely would have snapped that up instead. But no regrets! This old article (specific t...

Hmm...I'm going to go out and say it; the 7AT in the 370Z is the best damn paddle shift auto I have ever driven. Ok, it is also the ONLY paddle shift auto I have ever driven (well, my Legacy 3.0R is also paddle shift but...I'm not sure why they bothered cos it's not really). And of the 23 cars I hav...

Thanks for replying Bronzee. The Potenza's on the 370Z were almost new when I first got the car. However, as per usual with a rear wheel drive car, the rear's have worn out much faster than the fronts. When all four corners were near new, the VDC almost never kicked in. Near the end of life for the ...

I have just replaced my worn Bridgestone Potenza S001 - 275/35R19 Rear Tyres with exactly the same tyre brand and spec. The fronts are Bridgestone Potenza S001 - 245/40R19 and only around half worn so I didn't replace them. I took the 370Z out for a decent B road blast last Sunday and clocked up aro...

That pic gives me tingles. Best looking Z I have laid my eyes on (and I say this while apologising profusely to my 370Z).

I know right! Damn Auckland and it's crappy advertising of these sorts of events! That would have been awesome to be at (who doesn't like the smell of burning rubber!).

More drifting from a 370Z at an event here in Auckland last December. Unfortunately I didn't even realise this was on else I totally would have been there (not drifting my 370 though haha).

Drifting 370Z's

Anyone seen this? It's pretty cool...

Btw, Top Gear incorrectly state that it's two 370Z's when in actual fact it's a Z33 and a Z34!

My stock 19" RAYS on my Z34 are 245/40R19 and 275/35R19 and the door sticker states 35 psi all round (which is what I run them at). Not quite the same as yours due to diameter but similar enough :P

Noooo! That sucks balls. But as everyone else said, nobody got hurt so that's the biggest bonus here. Reminds me of last New Years Eve where a teenage girl who was texting and driving managed to hit me (was my last car not my current Z34) as I was about to enter the motorway from Pokeno. Was a bizar...

I recently had an ARK GRiP V2 True Dual Cat-back exhaust fitted to my 370Z (imported from CZP c/- the awesome ZILVER). Although I can't speak for the same exhaust on a 350Z, I can say that it has made a WORLD of difference on my car. It's like having an altogether totally different car! The sound is...

Had an ARK GRiP V2 True Dual Cat-back Exhaust fitted on my JDM Z34 today (among a few other cosmetic changes such as factory front and rear spoilers fitted and replacement of Fairlady Z badge with a 370Z badge). It sounds absolutely sublime!!! Exotic even. I've owned 22 cars, of which the majority h...

Another example of what happens to a 370Z when the brakes fail! Luckily this guy walked away unscathed.

A bit more to the story here

Hmm...maybe my next project will be brake ducts!

Nice. I had a 2001 MX-5 once. Soooo much fun to drive (albeit a little underpowered). Copped a lot of flak for that car until I used to show them how sideways it could get. Soooo jealous of your garage. I can barely fit my 370Z in my piddly little single garage :| I recently replaced the garage door...
