    Back behind the wheel of a Nissan

    I finally decided to get myself a new toy. Seeing as the summer is here, wanted something to enjoy it. So here she is.

    370z Roadster GT, in Pearlescent White with 7 Speed Auto (the best gearbox for it)









    Picking it up this Saturday

    I think I am going to keep this completely standard apart from changing the air freshener.

    I've heard 303 Cleaner and Fabric guard is best for convertibles

    Exhaust needs doing on all 370's IMO, other than that nice car

    Especially on a top-down car, you'd wanna hear that engine.

    Also can anything be done with that radio Ariel? It looks kinda odd.

    You can hear it. I'd consider if I could get something with Active exhaust valves

    I have named her Olive. You will see why tomorrow at HWH.

    I have really fallen for this car. Puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel.

    I just found in the instrument options that you can enable a Defi style start up sequence for all dials

    The 370's are starting to get more appealing price wise now and look like great value compared against other makes as well. Great to see a proper NA engine. Think Jez at HD does good stage 1 kits for them.

    Not sure I'd ever have a convertible again though, I've left my hard top on all summer! Doh

    Agreed - they seem like a tonne of car for the money!

    Nice purchase Ash!

    I've got some autoglym fabric cleaner and waterproofer left over from when I had the mx5 if you want to try it. Can deliver to the next hwh meet.
