ozz Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 You should post up on 350z-uk.com, I've been a Zed owner for years and never seen anything like this. Quite clever, no idea what it would do to the handling and I doubt there is any head or leg room. If you're that desperate then maybe change to the G35 (if you can live with the looks on a standard car). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Pointless and downright dangerous if you don't mind me saying. Lap belts are called that for a reason. Those rear belts would cause serious injury in even a moderately slow impact. No leg room whatsoever and I'd imagine head room is a joke also. Why in God's name would you even consider this? Surely there are fast four seaters out there that were designed with four seats in them to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 G35 - same chassis as zed but 4 seater. Heavier by 90kg IIRC so slower, and pig ugly in standard form but someone has one on here and they've done a great job with subtle mods.

Surely there are fast four seaters out there that were designed with four seats in them to begin with. They are normal 3 point seat belts in the back where are you seeing lap belts? The seats will be completely useless that's why they didn't put them there in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 They are normal 3 point seat belts in the back where are you seeing lap belts? I mean the lap portion of the three point belt. And believe me, there is nothing normal about the belts in the back of that car. They are dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9l3 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 lol well i thought it was clever to as this was one of the reasons i was swaying more to the 350gt (g35) its just nice to have 4 seats incase and the reason i only looking at the 350z and g35 because there about the best jap cars for around 6-7k thats not too old , jap wise there nothink thats under 10 year old what do people think of this for a g35 with gtr kit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BsBPjfYlDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 are you one of them that moan about everything No. But you seem to be developing a talent for making me post in a negative fashion. Why not stick with the Supra? It has four seats, does it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9l3 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 i love my supra i really do i just would feel more contemp with something newer as i know engines last forever but its the other parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 i love my supra i really do i just would feel more contemp with something newer as i know engines last forever but its the other parts Save the money and keep the Supra. If things start to go, then sort them out and get something newer. Although some new cars can be pretty unreliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Honestly, new cars are throw-away items. The more I work on my car the more I appreciate it for it's no nonsense approach to most things that a newer car would have you pulling your hair out over or, at the very least, handing a large wad of notes over to a "quailifed engineer":rolleyes: to sort out with a laptop and a host of "special service tools". Give me a twenty year old Supra and a basic tool kit any day of the week. I only wish it was economically viable to tax one in this country, so I could appreciate every day.

Although some new cars can be pretty unreliable. i cant as we want to save for house and i worry with the supra what could go wrong , i have already spent over 1500 in 5 months that was including some paintwork and because its turbo eventually thats going to cost me when they need replacing i am looking at long term and i know the 350z will be the more reliable and cheaper option for me in the future especially because the car will have around 60k compared to around 100k which mine must be. the 350z is no supra when you put your foot down or as good to look at but good enough for now. plus when i win the lotto soon will be able to treat myself, i think i would buy a merc maclaren slr seen one in white with red roof that will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9l3 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 i use my car at least 3 times a week so does get used aswell also as my sister is moving to tenerife i wont be able to get a lift with her meaning whatever car i own will be used everyday from january Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 As the G35 and 350 are basically the same underneatj could you not do a face transplant onto the susan boyle ugly G35? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is everytime my bro visited I missed the zed so after a year I bought a 57 plate GT (hi-rev 313 verision) and I adore it. I'm always looking for new cars but with this one I'm not, I'd only change for a 370 or a noble and I'm not quite ready to make that jump. The newer zed feels a lot different to the old one, better engine, better handling and better interior/exterior. I have the twin induction kit and she roars. Fast enough for me, not great on petrol and expensive tax but I really love driving her. Much faster than my NA supra and a million times better handling, obviously quicker cars around but I'm getting into bikes so speed has a different meaning Reliability wise, I'm on my second and zero issues from this one or my old one that my bro still has. The engine is superb though there are rumours recently that you must run them on super unleaded (as the manual says) or the engines can go. Build quality inside won't win any prizes on the early models (-06) but superb cars for the relatively small amount of money they are going for. Parts can be expensive but its a performance sports car so to be expected, totally manageable costs though (IMO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
