Possibly buying a 350z soon Options

[ClevelandGaint]

Been looking for a while for something i havent had yet. A nissan 350z sounds pretty good right about now. Now to find a touring model since i love leather and all the extra bells and whistles. Now the hard part is purchasing one that hasnt been beat to crap buy a young kid or made into a drift car, since drifting is the "in thing" now. I still own my 300zx, fun little car just bored with it. But the possibilities of a 350z are endless for me. Definitely gotta re freshen up the engine and suspension. Any in put on them, pros and cons? I been searching the 350 forums for a while now, so been learning as much as i can. Anyone have real world experiences with them??

There were only some 3,800 manual SC300 made, and people usually ask way too much for them when you do find them. Best thing is to find a clean auto with good body and interior, and then swap in the 2JZ-GTE, V160, LSD diff, and suspension over from a MKIV. Removing the full size spare and changing the full power SC300 seats for manual Supra seats saves over 100 pounds by itself. Changing the dual exhaust to a single exhaust along with changing out the heavy stock rims also saves a considerable amount. Easily can take off about 200 pounds without hurting the comfort or civility of the car. I had started looking into all of this myself when I was trying to decide on the next car.

Thanks for the info. Im looking into it all, im not pressed by any means, it would be work in progress to make it my style. Im not doing that whole stanced or completely camber out crap. I heard alot of good things about 1uz and the 2jz. I just gotta find the right car to build up i guess. I seen theres a ton of ways to reduce weight with the sc300 which is nice.
