Met this guy during the cleanup after the fluds. Absolutely hilarious and was a pleasure. Will never forget how he tried to handle a big sledge hammer😁👌
the Jaques Hammer?
@@janivo5218 no, sledge hammer.
Datsun/Nissan Z has always been a solid value and good fun. My first car was a '72 240Z Been driving over 35 years but never had a car that was more fun.
my dream car so overprice now
Very well pace and chill lap. The car for 18 years seems very nice and handles nice too. Well done for the owner and nice drive Misha.
Nissan put alot of money into the FM platform
It's funny when it called heavy when it weights around the same as a 4 cyl supra and makes as much hp as high strung turbo 4 ... While being a old reliable v6
not very reliable...
@@bdmr_isfof course it is reliable just the gallery gasket sucks but it is what it is ofc is not going to be as reliable as ur lexus 5.0 build by yamaha but its a good car
@@javierrochalopez7689 well maybe mine just was abused. i had a DE 350Z 10 years ago, right after buying it it spun a rod bearing, 2 months later gearbox bearing broke. then bought a genesis coupe 3.8 with higher mileage. had way less headache with that
@@bdmr_isfI bought a 350z as my first car and had ur for over a year. I’ve owned 3 other cars after that. An altima, a Sentra, and a 300zx. The 350z was definitely the most reliable. I miss it so much
@@TaeSosaGaming buy a toyota, way more reliable than that nissan crap
Pls Bring more JDM Cars like:
S2000, Integra type r, RX-7, RX-8, 370z, Skyline R33 R34, Supra, Old Civic type r, NSX, Lancer Evolution, Impreza wrx...
This car is an awesome entry lvl sports car for any trackday enthusiast. You can make upgrades for decent money what make it even better car.
It's very front heavy imo in stock form, I also recommend E46 330i in coupe/sedan or 325ti - stripping everything outta it, getting LSD with shorter ratios and you have large aftermarket parts market too. In Poland it's also twice cheaper and you have 5 seat option if you want better daily. Loved that car on eagle f1 as 5 and B8 pro-kit suspension. Great grip for 1505 kg non m car.
@@aczech12 E46 is definitely very capable car, but it basically isnt a sports car.
@ 350z isn't either, it's more of sporty gran turismo imo, both cool cars but 350z requires a couple of mods to not understeer that much as stock, front is just heavier
@@aczech12 350Z has stock nearly a 50/50 weight ratio front/rear. The understeering comes from the to narrow tires in front. Put a square setup on a 350Z and understeer is gone
@@350ziger thx for info, I drove stock tire sizes that's why had such impression, still it's bit heavier than e46 but both very nice cars :) 350z is more characterful, louder and stiff that's for sure, which equals = fun
This car with 350hp and
Yep the weight is my biggest problem with the Zs aswell.
Looks like some Chinese backyard wrencher tried to copy a 911.
@@swift9417 you can easily get sub 3klbs in these cars with full interior which is almost unheard of in modern day vehicles
I personally have a 370z nismo v1, 370bhp and 1480kg, absolutely amazing
one of most Iconic tuner cars on Iconic track, there to much epicenes here
Love this type of videos you do!👍👌🏼
Great Lap with a cool car! Sounds better than the new Z. It was a real bang when it came into the market. - Misha must be busy like hell at this time 🙂
Yes more JDM please 🙏😭😢🙌😍👏
It is definitely more fun to watch you drive a slow car fast and passing some cars lol 😆
Just because a car is Japanese does not make it "JDM". The Fairlady Z is JDM the 350Z is not.
@@electrikoptikwomp womp
Great lap. Makes me miss mine from years ago.
People always claimed these were heavy but they only weighed as much as an E46 M3. It's problem was the DE engine didnt like to rev, the later VQ HR made up for those issues. 276hp vs 309hp.
350Z with weakest engine (DE) already does 0-200 kmh in 22 seconds ... and that's not bad.
@@jortepap I've always liked the Z cars from the 240z to the 400Z.
22sec is quick, but the HR does that in 19sec and the E46 M3 is 16.5sec to 200km.
I'm actually still toying with rhe idea of a 370Z🤔
@@EugVR6The issue with being as heavy as an E46 is that it comes with none of the practicality or comfort of an E46. I own one now, and it sucks having a two-seater with a tiny trunk but without any of the weight savings you would want when compared to a 3 series. It drives like a good sedan without any of the benefits of a sedan.... just buy a G35
A plenum spacer + a tune gets the DE to 300hp and it's slightly more torque than the HR stock
@@thrasher10000 Slightly misleading on the torque, as the HR made more torque over the entire rev range, the only point it lost out, was peak figure but its only a couple of Lbs Ft.
I remember test driving a brand new one in 2003. Torque was a lot of fun in the 350Z, easy to slide around. It fell on its face at 120 mph / 200 km/h but otherwise it was a fun little ride.
More like around 130
Well I had he hr
Yea 03 would of been a DE it lacks the top end of the hr
5th gear in the Z(even the DE) pull to the redline with ease which is about 145mph. The one thing which surprised me was how easy it kept pulling! I’ve never heard anyone say this before lol. Did you ever drive one…
Mine has done a 172mph(speedo which was 166mph GPS) on the autobahns with only bolt ons and remap. It also had a little more left. I have it on video
@@WeirdBrick Yes, it still accelerates but not quickly. I did not mean that 200 km/h is top speed but more like where acceleration stops being noticeable really. Also I drove the original, unmodified 2003 version.
I owned a yellow 350z I bought brand new. What a car, I had a single turbo installed and it was so much fun to drive. Wish I still had it.
4:33 Face of Concentration, nice and smooth lap!
Misha drives an old Nissan - I click like!
Misha, have you driven a Fiat Coupe 20VT or Nissan 300zx TT or Renault 5 GTT or Toyota Supra 2JZ TT around the Nurburgring?
Nice video ! I would love to see you driving a more “track intended” 2008 350Z with the upgraded VQ35HR engine… I would be pleased to let you drive mine if it was in Europe 😅🇧🇷 cheers !
He would love a full bolt on HR that was designed for the track. 330-350 hp in these cars is enough to get ya going.
Nice example of a 350z. Nice lap.👍
JDM content is always a breath of fresh air😀 👍Would love to see you drive the latest Z!
Just because a car is Japanese does not make it "JDM". The Fairlady Z is JDM the 350Z is not.
No one uses the term JDM in the original meaning as produced for the japanese market. Have fun commenting everywhere.
What’s the name of the song at 0:13? Feels like I’m watching an Adam LZ vid
I have a completely stock medium mileage 350z and it is a perfect car as it is. The deal is it is soft enough and practical for daily driving on actual roads. It is dramatic, great sounding, involving and most important to me (after driving BMWs) - reliable. I am just not sure why would you remove the factory lightweight forged wheels. And I doubt those front headlights are as good as factory either.
I'm really wanting to see you behind the wheel of the "L34" plate R34 GTR or any of the RB26 powered cars, preferably with a obnoxious Ti exhaust and big Wang gang. Great video as usual 👌
I have s freshly built r32 gtr w single turbo an ti exhaust, @mishacharoudin you get one lap, they wont let it run twice because of the noise 😂
9:30 that car looked fun as fuck in the fast stuff when it was in the fevs. Dope driving mate, legit like a sim when you're on it 👌👍
Revs*
How do you feel the steering wheel? Is it hard?
This is my go to automotive channel
Seems to get better and better
Keep up the great work 👍
Better than most modern 4 cylinder junk
Wonderful car and a proper engine
I was tense the whole lap, Thinking it would get binned.
Good run needs a lil suspension and brake tune up.
Cant believe this is your first Z experience! You need to do a run in a 370z now so you can compare the difference. After owning both, the 370z is definitely superior. More power, better brakes/suspension and shorter wheelbase. I'll wait for the video 🙏
The engine and front suspension are far superior but the brakes? The 350z on Brembos set the VIR track record for its price, the 370z on akebonos faded so bad it went into a wall.
@@zbrembo If you're tracking, discs and pads need to be upgraded on both models regardless. In my experience having the larger discs 355/332mm vs brembos 324/322 makes a big difference.
The 370 rides more boring and refined, but not "superior" ...have driven many of them and owned a couple of Z's as well....and MUCH MUCH prefer the 350z, especially if you just put SWIFT springs and Bilstein shocks on the 350z. Power wise the 370s has an edge, but that can be resolved a number of ways.
Good driver good chasis
good lap enjoy
I confirm, the car feels like it is a tank, but it's a challenge :D
Yea Z's feel like small tanks
This car has been on my list for years for i ever have the money (and money for the fuel). But i think now its getting unreachable because prices went up and fuel went up alooot 😢
Cool video 👍🏻
Lovely to see you drive a 350Z.
I have one aswell. Bought it for the Nurburgring. Also broke down there on a hot day it used up its oil. So engine needed to be replaced. I should have had a oil cooler installed for my Rev-Up. The HR can handle it without but the normal DE and Revup cannot.
My fastest lap with the stock car (only a different exhaust) was 8:38 BTG. It you really had to use power to get it trough the bends because stock it under steers quite a bit. But it was a lot of fun to drive. The sound it great but its not fast for modern standards. My Volvo V40 Sport and V40 (with polestar suspension) Both Diesels where faster in the corners.
I would still like to bring it back there some day. But currently i dont want to spend that much money on racing. And the car will still need a good oil cooler installed before i go there again :P I did upgrade the clutch and flywheel. And the suspention but im not happy about the suspension yet (BC ER right now but it makes to much noise when driving over imperfections) so might want to swap that out for Bilstein or something else.
My car did like 3.9km per liter on the ring so one lap was like 5 -5,5 liters of fuel. Its not that economic on the track but its a lot of fun. Its a more basic drivers car. Everything feels more heavy and connected compared to newer Hatchbacks that are faster.
LETS GOOO!🤪😍
Still a pretty car, but only from the outside 🔴
If it's a track only car, you can take a lot of weight out for free!
Also, battery and seats are always good "weight per money".
I miss this car too much
Nice Z and nice lap. I'll bring my ~35 year old Nissan 300ZX turbo to you one day. 😎
Please do!
Yesss please!
It's sad that your first impression was in the DE (single air intake) and not an HR (dual air intakes, stronger internals) 350z. Maybe one will come along some day.
Those things do sound good though hey 👍
Still a very cool car, Enrico! And not that old... it's actually quite young.. saying that from 1975 though ;) Have many more great laps with it!
nice sound👌
The 350 is a fun car, and more fun with an LS crate motor in it.
0:00 LOL, The ultimate flex :D
What rear bumper is that?
i got a base 08 350z my project is touge & autocross what upgrade do i need about suspension,brakes thanks
when it comes to touge/canyon builds weight and tires are prob the most important, then when it comes to autocross it depends because theres multiple classes you enter in so theres restrictions youll have to be within. As for aftermarket suspension and brakes im currently running HKS Hipermax S coilovers and they feel great both daily driving and when taking corners hard. As for brakes the OEM Brembos are decent when paired with the upgrade kit from Z1. I run just 1p slotted rotors, ebc yellow pads, motul rbf600.
Good video
the 370gt is about another 50hp stock over this and generally better all round of course still te 350 DE motor for a street car is nice for its age
Aren't you uncomfortable driving a tank with a Z on the side? :-)
banger
Damn Misha, you have arms like the Hulk :D
Those things are actually considered hybrid vehicles because they burn almost as much oil as fuel.
That was only relevant to the Rev up 05-06 models which needed new engines due to a cock up! The original DE or HR use hardly any oil at all! I’ve done 100,000 and never needed to top up between changes.
The downsides of getting older... it makes us do the math twice when we hear our loved cars in videogames are actually 20 years.
Have you ever been allowed to do a timed lap? What’s your favorite car to drive on the ring?
He even set a lap record already :) Check
ua-cam.com/video/l-50ISS2Fqk/v-deo.html
it is not allowed to time your lap on touristenfahrten.
Jetzt weiß ich warum ich das Kennzeichen su-vq35 nicht mehr bekommen habe,als ich meine Lady angemeldet habe😅
Were Euro 350Zs detuned? US 350Zs are either 287, 300, or 306BHP depending on which engine variant you have
I think Here they have 280, 301 or 313 ps
@@miklas.k Ah, thank ya!
What do you guys prefer, this, a 370z, or a Audi TTS mk2?
I’ve been looking at these. I think I’m going to go for the 370z. I don’t cover too many miles and the improvements over the 350z seem worth it. The Audi isn’t my style and I want something jdm for a change. I test drove one 2003 350z and wasn’t impressed. But that car was on sale for £2000 so maybe it wasn’t the best example!
Great video as always but I can't really understand the "very heavy car" topic. A 350z weights the same of a 6cil E46. of course is not a Miata or a GT86 but it's a pretty standard weight for a mid 00s GT RWD. Never drove one of those but maybe the issue is the heavy feel, and not the weight itself.
But the way it behave and drives nature makes it feels quite alot heavier... Pushing the front in corner entry...
But also its is true gt car.. not nimble...more like good highspeed cruiser and mild corner carver...
Unlike s2000 way of driving behaviour...300kg weight differences wouldnt make massive changes, but where the weight distributed definately makes the driver feel that... (350z if front nose heavy)
@@AmirPomenYeah, people usually throw 245s or 275s on all 4 corners to change the understeer tendency
4:04 is the part where GTR catches flight huh?
Ever thought of superchargers,?
Port, polish, cams the engine wants air. These can easily run rich to match.
Does the 350z really have an 80 litre tank? That kind of capacity id expect to see on more of a cruising motorway car
yeah and it uses half from Carlisle to London
No, it's 60L
the car has 70 liter tank and makes 10.5L/100km on mixing roads and 7.5L,8L/100k highway.
“Stock is horrible” - yeah if you have ruined car with 200k on the clock.
Get a 350Z with good stock bushings, springs and shocks, throw some pads and RBF fluid on it and you have absolutely awesome car for regular mountain roads. Well driven Z can keep up with cars with 200 more horsepower.
Rev matching left the chat 😂
nice one. with some mods on suspension and brake the 350Z gets more serious on track ;)
What is your recommendation for ideal trackday suspension? :)
@ KW clubsport or competition
Since the 300ZX the Z has had an identity crisis. It should be a sports car considering that the G and Q series are GT models. The Z is in a weird position because it doesn't excel at being a GT or Sports car without modifications. It's too loud and stiff to be a proper GT and far to heavy to be a sports car in contrast with its power.
Very long gears. Same year mustang had the same issue, just change the final drive and it changes the car completely.
They’re not at all, he was short shifting big time here. 1st 37mph, 2nd 65, 3rd 88, 4th 110
@@WeirdBrick compare it with modern gears and let me know.
Soft pleasures in a ambient :) greets .....
10 Jahre bis zum H-Kennzeichen :D
Of course his VQ was straight piped 😂
Straight pipe kills the torque in the Z. I tried it
As heavy as any post 2000 M3 ..... The problem is not in that , the problem is the way it makes you feel . It feels heavy at low and high speeds , linear power delivery puts you for a nap with oem gear ratios , where M3 gets lighter on its toes the faster you go in it , the more nimble it feels . Had all of them , 350 Z is not the track car choice for my personal liking .
Linear lower delivery is exactly what you want in a car though lmao
@@RhodokTribesman you can lmao as much as you like but it doesn't change a fact its flat in early cars until rev up and even then its nothing like BMW vanos , honda v tec as that's a huge gimmick in the way the car makes you feel under acceleration. 350z has no urge , its flat feeling , unless you cam it . 370z we had was a little bit better in that sense .
Going from an RX8 to a 350z, the Z feels unbelievably heavy. I think the difference is only around 190lbs, so the RX8 + a passenger, but whether its the steering feel or the weight distribution or something else, it feels like it weighs 3x as much, as if asking it to brake or corner hard is something it would much rather not do.
Its not always about the power, sometimes its about how you manage to use all of the power by making things perfect around it and using the most of it.
Overpowered cars are not always fun.
The owner has done a great job with his car.
Damn i was thinking about reaching out to you if you want to drive my 350z but thought to myself that's too shity 😅
And yes.. 350z is the base platform for the modern day nissan gtr r35...
❤❤❤❤💪💪💪
Nissan 350Z Ruls even though the engine is not a racing engine (mine has 70,000km Nordschleife without problems) the road holding and cornering speed is enormous.👍👌💪💪
"quite unforgiving and heavy"
Did he just talk about my ex?
350z really wasn't that heavy. A base DE coupe weighed under 3200 lbs. The heaviest coupes weighed about 3400.
Finally ;)
I wonder if the new z will come to Europe.
nope
No. “A shrinking European sports cars market and specific regulations on emissions mean that Nissan was unable to build a viable business case for the introduction of the production version of the next generation Z-car in Europe.”
Doubt it ,EU will force grey electric blandness upon everyone and tax them mightily for the privelege😅
ZZZZuper!
much more recommended 350z 313hp
Gg
Rumour has it that The Rock isn’t happy with Misha right now.
“Apparently” Misha went round and stole his arms! 💪🏼
Not the reps 💀
>how is it on fuel?
>really bad
made me laugh so hard
Have some kerbstone on your pancakes!
6 gear?..... Yes!!!.....a ok.....i do not give a fuc...😂
Bruh that's way less then this car can do😢
I think it was understeering a bit
The 370z's are much better. I have built a little monster myself. Max it did was 1004whp. It is fun and fast as crap at 770whp. 900whp it becomes a major challenge. Keeping the engine together is a whole new ballgame. I am close but will get that perfect next time.
Waited for the moment the rucksack flies over your shoulders straight into the camera...definitely a showcase of lacking breakingpower 🤔😉😂🙄
I mean, not my favourite NIssan, but a nice car nontheless
Eso no corre está más lento 😮😮😮😮😮
Need to go faster.
Empty the car or Stow your stuff properly
A 370Z IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAR AND WOULD OBLITERATE THIS MESSED WITH CAR
Grow up
350z is such a bad car
