If your thinking of a change from a s-body... buy a 350z!

[Scottie]

And once your children get over 10 years old?

oddly enough though, when you give people a lift to the pub and back you can fit 2 -3 people in back .... amazing how people dont mind a squeeze if they get to drink

So you are collectively suggesting I get my 11 year old drunk?

That wouldn't be unusual in St. Helens...

[Johnny]

no !!!! ..... christ talk about bad parenting .... I was suggesting, you let your kids drive YOU back from the pub when you are too w4nkered to

That is pure Genius. Young Ted wants to drive the car, I don't want to walk back form the pub wasted. Done.

[Johnny]

its genius, until you realise how materialistic kids are .... after the 3rd time he will start bugging you to upgrade to 350z

[Scottie]

But the 350z has no rear seats so I won't even get picked up from the pub then?

S14 it is then

Are S14's more spacious in the back seat than S13's?

My back seats do get used every so often, I think they are quite decent if the front seat passenger isn't a cnut. If the front seat passenger is a cnut ass one side, feet on the other works well I'v had mine 4 up with the other 3 wearing snowboard boots, which are mahoosive! and being idiots we ended up with the tallest 6ft 100 something behind the driver, me We managed though

I even had my Auntie in the back for 450 miles+ that wasn't a pleasant experience in fact changed my mind, 350z all the way

[sideways14a]

I thought taxis were for pubs... thats assuming your not clever enough to have bought a house withing easy staggering distance in the first bloody place.

[Scottie]

So we finally have the answer to the question "is a 350z an upgrade on a 200sx?" and the answer is no because the young child you left at home whilst getting drunk in the pub can no longer collect you?

Mumsnet would be so proud of us

You joke, I know at least 4 people who learned to drive like that

As immy has just struck on though, there is another advantage - how often do you think me or the missus had to drive when we went out with mates when our fleet consisted of a 350Z, MR2, 2 seat S13 and the Onevia?

That was my thinking that this what ever it be called would be the nearest nissan replacement:

But that is a 2 door "saloon". OK Nissan have done a bit more by raking the rear into a fastback but it's still 54" tall. As competitor to BMW 328 coupe it's pretty much bang on the same height. Against a Z or SX it's just high rise and no lowering springs will redeem it.

But the fact is very few purchasers of new cars are able to discern 4" as being a critical distinction between a coupe and a 2+2 "sports" coupe or a "sports" coupe. Just cos it goes quite fast doesn't make it "sports", just performance.

[T926_S14A]

Only thing putting me off selling my s14a is the power drop and feel of the kick from gt2871! I like hard acceleration!

However the noise of the 350z and more modern styling and interior makes me want it more, and that it looks like an executive sports car rather than bit chavy s14 with hks dustbin put the back and shaken to death from coilovers

[piman2k]

As nice as they are, I'd still have an E46 M3

[Tricky-Ricky]

350Z and Skyline 350GT are essentially the same car, the GT has 7" longer wheel base and 50KG on the Z but there is no discernible difference in driving, but you get four seats and a usable boot as a bonus.
