    >great car
    it's mid bruh.
    the suspension is all wacky.
    (see the A-Arm bushings)
    ABS doesn't work correctly if you put any tire with any amount of grip.
    engine is not slow, but not really fast either.
    looks are 'meh'
    car isn't easy to work on.

    wouldn't say it's bad, but not really good either

      Doesn't matter how annoyed you are with routine maintenance, there are cars with worse service procedures that wear components faster
      >ABS doesn't work correctly if...
      Why aren't you threshold braking to begin with?

      We're talking about a sports car from 20 years ago. Of course grass is green.
      >car isn't easy to work on
      Again, its not horrible to work on either. Sure its not a miata, but there's stuff thats easy and stuff thats hard on it. The good thing is z's are pretty reliable and its not often you're replacing anything huge

      I would say compared to what its contemporaries were like, and what choices we have now, its good. The 370z is just objectively better

        I think it's a pretty good car, you have to bear in mind they were built at a price point of $30,000 dollars or the equivalent of $45-50,000 today and they were about as fast as Evos and STIs of that period, which were remarkable cars.

        I saw the gears and gasoline 350z build and it sold me on them. They have great steering feel and can be dead reliable compared to turbo cars. And the engine is "just right" it has more horsepower than the middleweight cars (S2000, E36M/E46/E92, RX8, Newer Miatas) but not a ton that'll break shit when you run it hard.

        I'm glad DA hates Nissans because between Z33s and Z34s I have 20 years of sub-3500lbs N/A FR Sports Cars to choose from

        it's obvious you've never actually modified and raced any of the Z cars you fricking dumb ass.
        the A-Arm bushing designs are horrible.
        also,
        you don't threshold break ABS systems.
        people who only brake in a straight line are Fricking slow as hell.
        That's where the 350/370z ABS sucks.
        it can't handle performance 200tw tires or any kind of trail braking.
        But the worst part of it is the ABS will just randomly work and then randomly not.
        some of the best motoring toge battles have had Z car crashes from that stupid ABS.
        that's why people swap the E46 ABS into Z cars.

        I wouldn't call it a bad car but, as the kids say; it's MID.

        People don't buy 80s-00s jdm cars because they're looking for the best performance. They're buying them because it's cars they grew up wanting but couldn't afford as a high school/college student. And now they can because they have a big boy job now. Except all the people who could afford them back then raped them.
        It's no question that cars made in the past 10 years are much faster and capable

        tl;dr, it's something zoomers wouldn't understand.

        lol no
        no one cared about the 350/370z, it was always supra, m3, gt-r, etc.
        the only reason they're even discussed is because they're so unpopular, they can be had now for cheap as budget entry level cars

      the 370z is significantly better than the 350z in every way:

      >MUCH nicer interior

      ND Miatas: Great looking and fun little cars with relatively low sales figures (~70k). The NB and NC are the least desirable and you can already see NA prices edging up. I think ND will be looked back on with the same fondness as the NA, but with 1/5th the sales volume.
      >BMW 2 series: The steering feel is awful and it has a stupid delay valve on the clutch pedal, but it's better than a lot of cars coming out these days and is cheap enough where many will get trashed. I sold mine awhile ago and it's worth $10k more already.
      Toyota 86: Good, cheap, fun car. This combination means kids will trash 90% of them and the few that remain will be expensive.
      Generall I think lightweight sports cars and certain expensive cars maintain their value because car weights are like inflation (it only goes up), so you have to buy older cars to get light weight. Pigfat cars generally don't maintain value, because why buy old when you can get a new one with more horsepower, better laptimes, and a warranty?

        NBs imo are as desirable as NA. They're cashing hard in on the cute factor that's missed by NCs, and often cost as much as a decent NC1 which is a little silly because everything on a 2004-5 NB 1.8 VVT swaps onto a 1990 NA 1.6 and vice versa. 86s have fragile engines so what's left is gonna go up, I actually don't think they hold up that well to hardcore track use, even the FA20s.

        The BMWs aren't gonna hold value because N55s like to self destruct and get expensive with high miles. B58 Gen 1 cars like M2/340i might be better.

        Most cars go through major price dumps when they get too old to be financed at a reasonable price and most dealers stop buying/selling them. The first price drop ofc being when the factory warranty ends and most lease cars are returned to the dealer.

          Z33s were usually 1450kg. It was the love child of Mizuno just like the GTRs and Silvias were. Why wouldn't it be better than the older cars? Nissan tested the Z33 faster than the R34 GTR during development.

            Honestly if they were both brand new cars I would agree. But 20 years later, you can buy five Z33s in better condition to every S15 Spec R. And the 350Z is going to be way less rustier and being way more reliable because SR20s break often when you abuse them and the sheetmetal in R34/S15s is worse than even the older cars. The way some fanboys act you would think they're talking about the worst car on the planet, even though the same guy designed and engineered all three cars

            Holy cope batman. The z33 can be in as good a condition as it likes it's still a mediocre, unremarkable, utterly forgettable car that nobody cares about. It's too fat and non-turbo to be good at what the s15 does and it's not half the car the 34 gtr is. The same guy might have been involved but they're built for different goals.

            This is the nip that designed the Z33. If you call the Z33 unremarkable then you're also calling the GTR and Silvia unremarkable, both his creations. Hes not going to make the new car slower than the older car.

            More Zs for me.

          Weight will increase with a more sophisticated suspension type and with increased body rigidity. Safer too.

          >Silvia S15 Spec R Aero finished a lap of Tsukuba in 1 minute and 7.7 seconds.

          Only 0.2 second difference between a base 350z vs a top spec S15.

          S15’s are all used up and cost a premium, 350z are cheap and plentiful still.

    I know it's not exactly the same, but I had an 06 g35 coupe that was a pretty decent car. I always hear people claiming they're shitty cars but
    >never had a major issue or left me stranded
    >worst thing was a belt tensioner replacement, otherwise normal maintenance
    >had 220k miles when I hit a deer and smoked it
    >muffler started to rust out, but that's to be expected for the mileage
    Having staggered size tires was kind of a b***h too, but I had a winter set and summer set I'd swap out. Did surprisingly well in the midwest winters (albeit with top tier snow tires).
    Imo, the interior was far better looking than the Z. Doesn't hold the same "fast and furious tuner bro poser" stereotype either. If you keep it stock that is. I've seen plenty of Gs that have been absolutely molested/trashed.
    Maybe look for a g35 if you can't find a Z. Seems like far more Z cars have been through years of high schoolers wheeling them around by the time they end up for sale compared to Gs.
