Enjoy your Z! Mine was T-boned in 2017 and I moved on to other cars since, but I still have dreams about driving it and having lots of fun with the 6-speed manual.
I also just got one in October!! Always been my dream car. It may not be as fast as modern day sports cars they’re 20 years old. Haven’t driven mine much other than the drive home and 2 miles around the block. Storing it in winter. I’ll be getting it tuned next season with just a intake and dual cat back. Not a loud exhaust but the valve rumble is amazing
Why is progress always measured by track times? The Supra is typical of modern cars. Sanitised, disconnected, sounds crap, too much fakery (fake engine sounds - who bloody started this?!), style over substance and a less refined engine (4cyl turbo). For me, I don't care how much quicker it is. Vicki looks bored in the Supra. It's all about how the car makes you feel. Ask yourself this - what's the favourite car you've owned and why? Signed - a grumpy old man. p.s. Thank you for the video. I did enjoy it ☺
Its like wearing headphones in your car or downloading v8 sound modules for your Tesla. The purpose was to enjoy your car without waking up the neighbourhood. 😂. Well said....I remember the feeling when i got my 2003 DE. Not the fastest but the drama. The 370 nismo in comparison was toned down. I guess thats why old mx5 NB NC were so popular. Now the 86. Modern cars are like laptops on soft springs 🤣. They dont evoke emotions like a 3.4 cayman or an open top MX5 with a nice exhaust can
I got the 04 model and I loved that car so much! I just now sold it after having it for 20 years. It was so reliable, and I hardly had to spend any money on it until this last year. The 99 Supra was my holy grail car. I wish I could get a new one now, but It just isn't practical for me right now. I did enjoy my time in the sun though. I hope you get to enjoy yours for many years to come!
Great video! I love my 06 350z, and It just doesn't feel like a 17 year old car! I've also got a 91 Miata, and the 350z feels pretty luxurious in comparison! Especially with the Bluetooth I've installed and the sound system is pretty good. Had mine for almost 4 years now and absolutely love it! Don't see myself selling anytime soon, might just even buy another!!
I mean, Vicky is a heck of a presenter, and is what saves Fifth Gear after they stopped with Plato and Tiff. I can listen to her talk and review all day everyday. She should just start her own UA-cam channel and go full online and go where she belongs, to tropical weather and exotic cars! I love her style of reviewing
@@GamingCornerYT new gr86 make around 215 wheel on dynos that’s not far off what DE 350zs dyno and HRs are around 260 wheel they aren’t that far apart with the weight difference they get around 5.5 0-60 but this is not bashing the Z at all lol it’s so much cheaper they’re charging outrageous prices for these gr86s
Bought a 07 350z automatic to add to my two manual 6th Gen Camaros. Threw some long tube headers, resonated Y pipe, muffler delete and drive her in manual mode....A real machine! Cant wait to upgrade the rear end!
I’m so pleased with this review as a massive fan of the Z33, however I can’t help but think what the result would have been had Fifth Gear used a Track spec (in the UK “GT Spec”) model equipped with the RAYS alloys and the Brembo brake setup. It probably would have been down by around only 2 seconds.
Always preffer feel over speed. Even if its a bit slower Z is much better for actual driving experience. Its sad that automakers are killing any proper sensations from driving across the board
I bought a new 350Z in 2006. It was the year of the mid-cycle refresh so LED taillights, bi-xenon headlights were first offered that year. I special ordered mine to get it with an MT and my preferred options: Brembo brakes, staggered GT wheels, leather etc. Loved it so very much but had to sell out of necessity after 4 years for less than it is worth today. I ordered a new M4 with MT in 2017 (also a mid-cycle refresh) and still own and love it, and yet I miss my Z every day.
Tiff Needell created fifth gear and somebody thought it was a good idea to sack him. Tiff Needell and Jason Plato recreated something we had seen only in best motoring international. Close racing head to head against the latest models. Any youtuber can film a trackday these days. In my opinion it was a relatively myopic strategy to fire Tiff. Fifth gear can not win back the time they lost out to youtube when they decided to go mainstream . I have already subscribed to your channel once, only to discover for my disappointment that fifth gear had uploaded series with missing episodes.
Quoting Tiff Needell: Yes, I think age probably has [got something to do with it]," he continued. "I think some younger commissioning editor at Discovery has decided [that] he doesn't like an older person on his show - I don't know, I'm only guessing." "Nobody has given me any reason at all. I've had no communication, I've just been told that they think it'll be a better show without me." Said the guy in 2019 who till that day races classic cars in goodwood, which incidentally is one of the few motorsports that showcases close racing with conrinuous overtakes whilst respecting track limits
There was many mentions of the 350s brakes not being strong enough, but no mention of the fact the car driven was an import on the smaller wheels and more to the point missing the Brembo brakes which is all you could buy UK cars with.
New cars are really taking away the feeling of driving for me. For example going from a STI forester to a Golf R i was disappointed the golf is more capable slightly but the Old Scooby is a hell of a lot more fun.
More Vicky please! Man do I miss Tiff or what.. keep hearing his voice in my head while watching this excellent video. Remembering the 350Z was actually one of his favorite. Wish he could be at least a guest presenter on one of the future episode.
That 350z is an import from Japan, so not the GT Uk spec that was sold here. The Uk car has cruse control and other goodies, including Larger Brembo Brakes.
and why would they compare it to a 2008 Z? this series is about cars from 20 years ago vs new cars, a HR Z is from 2008. And even a HR Z is pretty slow by todays standards, it wouldnt have made much of a difference.
@@bdmr_isf slow according to who, but my bro in his NA Carrera 911 350hp 0-60 4 seconds couldnt shake my bros DE 😂. Ppl are calling 300-400,hp slow these days. 😂
@@blademanx if a guy in a carrera cant keep up with a DE Z he definitely sucks at driving. i had a DE Z too as one of my first cars, it was embarassingly slow. they push about 230whp stock. even a normal 993 carrera would gap the shit out of your bros DE.
My two sons grow up with your show, old tv to led to mobile phone watching. I hope for 20 year more. Last thing,Marry Christmas and Happy New year. Jharkhand India.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The 350z was one of my dream cars. About 8 years ago I bought an Azure Blue Rev Up version and I absolutely adored it. For me it was the perfect combination of sports car and cruiser. All my previous cars either felt like track cars or fat cruisers. That fat 3.5L engine not only sounded absolutely incredible but it had power everywhere. It was everything I could ever hope for. I wrote it off within 12 months and then bought the HR model with over 300hp and absolutely fell in love once I'd swapped the exhaust with an Ark and spaced and lowered it and had it setup for the track. Best car I've ever driven, all round comfortable powerful, you felt everything in the road. Amazing That was until someone drove into the back of me (On purpose) and the insurance cost me so much I had to sell the car. I've never recovered from that and I miss it everyday. If you ever see HJ57 WVA out there in the real world let me know. I put alot of love into that car and I was forced to sell it!
Yes we know. You reviewed this car back when i was high school. I had 4 Zeds. Including 350Z and 370Z Nismo. Exposing everyones age here 😂. Sounds better than the 370 for sure
I remember when TopGear did an old vs new video with the 300ZX vs. the then new 350Z & the 300ZX won that battle, twin turbo on the 300. Maybe do a 300ZX vs. GR Supra? haha. I would like to see Mazda 323 GT-R vs. new Mazda3 AWD turbo please :)
That 350Z doesn't have the Brembos, which partly explains the poor braking performance. The non-Brembo calipers were basically a parts bin recycle from the S13 Silvia / 180SX, a ~200kg lighter car. And even that car was considered underbraked with those brakes. It would have been interesting to see this done with a Brembo equipped car. The Supra still would have won, but it would have been closer.
I always get a kick about how one can watch 2 great shows(5th Gear and Clarkson/Hammond/May era Top Gear) and come to a review like this with the Z and the outcome/reviews are polar opposites.
The Nissan 350Z still looks awesome, can't say the same about the competitor to the 350Z. For this video, it would have been more comparable to have the Nissan 370Z vs the new supra.
350z Nismo were slower than the base model and Enthusiast model 350z Hr’s thats why i never went the Nismo route. I fully gutted my 350z Hr and ive been beating FBO 370z Nismo and Tuned Q50 3.7/G37’s and im bone stock still haha but basically a tin can 😂
The z is great but you only held onto that slide because it was the only trim without lsd. Basically hard to even loop out. Good video though I do feel just as enthusiastic in my z like anyone with theirs. Best car for the price
My 350z is definitely faster because I've raced multiple new Supras and the only ones that slightly pull away are the GR. And it's slightly. My Z runs toe to toe with Daytona chargers, camaro SS, stingers, and all the other modern sports cars that aren't ridiculously overpowered
oh no!! Used a sub UK spec Jap import with tiny brakes, small 17' alloys/skinny tyres that came on the base spec imports only. UK cars came with bigger alloys 18's which have wider tyres, tuned suspension and brembo brakes all round - well done ✅
Boot spoiler? I'd sooner complain that it's a base model with no brembos and it isn't the later 313hp HR variant. Could you pick a worse example of a uk 350z to pit against the supra?
great car shows, but the resolution of the video still in 2002😢 there is a new 400z and the 2.0 Supra has been released since launched but killed off this year. I am surprised the information is not accurately provided given this is one of the top car videos channels, or should i say was…
Wat ? The 2.0 was killed off? I didn't know that. Well regarding the 400z she did mention that there was a new z but it isn't available in UK. She said it at 4:50
New Z irrelevant its a 370Z with 7 year old engine. Renault CEO considered it but they decided it was not worth doing a 2 year thing like Toyotas 86. I reckon it would sell out though. Renault would need Nissan to put a Euro 7 Engine which is not feasible to keep selling post 2025.....That Supra 2.0 thing didnt sell 🤣🤣🤣....£48,000 its going to be like Jaguars 2.0 F type. No ones willing to pay that for a 4 cylinder with fake sounds The new Z would have cost £50,000...i cant lie it would have been tempting 👀
@@blademanx considering what a 6 cyl Supra cost 30 years ago, paying 48k really isn't that much for 4 cyl Supra that could possibly beat or come very close performance wise
@Andrew Dent The very beginning of the video explains it..... Also as I said before, A80 wasn't a new car they reviewed back then afaik so they wouldn't have used it anyway.
The 350z was alwaysy dream car, finally bought it 4 months ago. Would never trade it for anything. What a machine.
Yup, had mine for 2 years before I totalled it... So I bought another one
Enjoy your Z! Mine was T-boned in 2017 and I moved on to other cars since, but I still have dreams about driving it and having lots of fun with the 6-speed manual.
I also just got one in October!! Always been my dream car. It may not be as fast as modern day sports cars they’re 20 years old. Haven’t driven mine much other than the drive home and 2 miles around the block. Storing it in winter. I’ll be getting it tuned next season with just a intake and dual cat back. Not a loud exhaust but the valve rumble is amazing
I'm still long way to go 😭 kinda happy with liana 😂

Wow almost 2023 , Z still being reviewed , good car for sho!
Yes we know. You reviewed this car back when i was high school. I had 4 Zeds. Including 350Z and 370Z Nismo. Exposing everyones age here 😂. Sounds better than the 370 for sure
I like the water inside the wing blinker. It makes waves!
Supra is not a Japanese car. It’s a BMW wannabe with fake vents
How could you take literally the worst version of 350Z?
HR or even a Rev-up version are so much quicker and nicer looking….
I remember when TopGear did an old vs new video with the 300ZX vs. the then new 350Z & the 300ZX won that battle, twin turbo on the 300. Maybe do a 300ZX vs. GR Supra? haha.
I would like to see Mazda 323 GT-R vs. new Mazda3 AWD turbo please :)
Got 2007 i love the inside seats are the most comfortable it hugs your body
Please do the old Puma against the new Puma ST.
Now retry with the Z33 HR 313. This was with the lowest powered DE. Would love to see the numbers.
At least get a UK GT edition that’s in a good nick. The 07 and above had over 300bhp, more torque and obviously the brembo brakes.
Lol fast when the 08 HR remapped to 340bhp. Keeps up with the 370 nismo
They'd have to do that video in 5-7 years though to be accurate ;) I'm just amazed they found a stock 350Z at all
Shame it wasn't a UK 350z, not sure if the import one had the brembo brakes as I remember them being excellent
those wheels only came on open diff non brembo base models..
i had a Z with the brembo brakes and they sucked

You mean Nissan Vs. BMW…. Z all the way!
Gosh Vicki can drive !
Love to see the 6.2 C63 Coupé vs the outgoing 4.0 C63 Coupé. 🤤
The Z is low on blinker fluid.
A touring pack with 18" wheels and Brembo brakes would have been a better comparison.
All UK Zs have the 18s and brembos, this one is a super basic jap import with the cloth seats, no steering wheel controls, brembos etc
@@Stator720 that explains it
Comparing a base model Z to a supra. Nice. At least get a ST 350z with brembos. Or a rev-up/HR model with the standard brakes.
Love the water in the side market
I hired a 350z for my wife , lovely car.
Wish I had bought the nismo one before the end 😪
Go on fifth gear, bloody miss you 💙☮️💜💜
It would have been nice to see the Toyota go up against the new Z. And if you drive a z in the rain you best be up on your game.
Also wish to see R34 vs modern BMW or AMG. Hopefully driven by Vicky as well 😊😊
I would love to see such comparisons with "same" tires - unindepend supplier - they also made a huge step within the last 20 years ;)
also they should have used the HR 313 model. Kind of unfair to use the slowest 350z.
That 350Z doesn't have the Brembos, which partly explains the poor braking performance.
The non-Brembo calipers were basically a parts bin recycle from the S13 Silvia / 180SX, a ~200kg lighter car. And even that car was considered underbraked with those brakes.

For this video, it would have been more comparable to have the Nissan 370Z vs the new supra.
The 350z Nismo was the peak for these cars. Had the HR motor, stiffer chassis and suspension.
Even the 370z was a step backwards. Just not the same.
350z Nismo were slower than the base model and Enthusiast model 350z Hr’s thats why i never went the Nismo route. I fully gutted my 350z Hr and ive been beating FBO 370z Nismo and Tuned Q50 3.7/G37’s and im bone stock still haha but basically a tin can 😂
I have enjoyed this gear for all of these years. But it sure would be nice to see cars compared to one another in the dry every once in a while.
The z is great but you only held onto that slide because it was the only trim without lsd. Basically hard to even loop out. Good video though I do feel just as enthusiastic in my z like anyone with theirs. Best car for the price
There is only 1 Japanese car here
I had a 350Z Sport with the stiffer springs, Bilstein shocks and an heroic Brembo brake package. I reckon that would have made up the 4.9 seconds.
It is a shame we're not getting the new Nissan Z, lucky yanks
Import one from Japan problem solved.
My 350z is definitely faster because I've raced multiple new Supras and the only ones that slightly pull away are the GR. And it's slightly. My Z runs toe to toe with Daytona chargers, camaro SS, stingers, and all the other modern sports cars that aren't ridiculously overpowered
Great video, should of gone for the 350z Gt HR comes with better Brembo brakes
oh no!! Used a sub UK spec Jap import with tiny brakes, small 17' alloys/skinny tyres that came on the base spec imports only. UK cars came with bigger alloys 18's which have wider tyres, tuned suspension and brembo brakes all round - well done ✅
Exactly! Can't believe they chose that car. Probably on some crap Chinese tyres too.
Loool...someone on Facebook posted that they wanted a Z for this show.....why they pic the oldest lowest spec import 😂
Boot spoiler? I'd sooner complain that it's a base model with no brembos and it isn't the later 313hp HR variant. Could you pick a worse example of a uk 350z to pit against the supra?
That Z sidemarker had water sloshing around inside lol
great car shows, but the resolution of the video still in 2002😢
there is a new 400z and the 2.0 Supra has been released since launched but killed off this year.
I am surprised the information is not accurately provided given this is one of the top car videos channels, or should i say was…
Wat ? The 2.0 was killed off? I didn't know that. Well regarding the 400z she did mention that there was a new z but it isn't available in UK. She said it at 4:50
I can't find any news of the 2.0 being killed off....where did you hear that?
New Z irrelevant its a 370Z with 7 year old engine. Renault CEO considered it but they decided it was not worth doing a 2 year thing like Toyotas 86. I reckon it would sell out though. Renault would need Nissan to put a Euro 7 Engine which is not feasible to keep selling post 2025.....That Supra 2.0 thing didnt sell 🤣🤣🤣....£48,000 its going to be like Jaguars 2.0 F type. No ones willing to pay that for a 4 cylinder with fake sounds
The new Z would have cost £50,000...i cant lie it would have been tempting 👀
@@blademanx considering what a 6 cyl Supra cost 30 years ago, paying 48k really isn't that much for 4 cyl Supra that could possibly beat or come very close performance wise
That's 20 years of chassis progression.
Are they on the same tyres?
I think next you should do a bmw m235i vs the bmw 1m would be interesting to see
that 350z looks like its been written off a few times
Yep - bumper doesn't align with bonnet
love the video, but one little comment to the edittors. Please use a small colour grade. The flat footage is just horrible to look at :(
glad to see vicky
Should have used the 350z that had 310bhp if I’m right?
Nissan's are amazing!
Probably an older video, because the supra is NOW offered with a 6 speed, tho not sure if available in EU
As the new Z is not coming to the UK why didn't you compare the supra from 20+ years ago with the new one. Don't get why your mixing the makes?
New car they reviewed in 2002. A80 Supra wasn't new back then, since it was just going out of production.
@@aaryeshg.6526 Are we really splitting hairs over this? The supra was in production until 2002. Toyota AND a Toyota.
@Andrew Dent The very beginning of the video explains it.....
Also as I said before, A80 wasn't a new car they reviewed back then afaik so they wouldn't have used it anyway.
The 350zed
And that's what you call a bitch slap folks Toyota 4 life ❤️ Cape Town South Africa
Aww a Nissan vs a BMW
I always wonder how much speed of the new cars come from modern rubber 🤔🤔
What I can afford vs a dream (or unwanted debt).
please. review a supra mk4 stock version. 🙌🏼
