  • The Nissan 350Z is about at rock bottom prices these days, which is probably why I get asked about them so often as platforms for tuner cars. They have some issues, but can be great fun when set up right.

    One more 1-Take where the owner of the car is a nice, cool dude who knows what he's talking about.
    Matt where do you find these people? One of the reasons why I like these 1-Takes is the owners. I could listen to most of them all day.
    Oh and I love the Chris Harris impersonation.

      @TheSmokingTire  8 лет назад +55

      We roll the dice every time. It's rare that I know anything about these people besides their name and their car. Most of the time people are very nice

    • @N54B30BMW
      @N54B30BMW 8 лет назад +30

      Maybe the reason is that gearheads who know about their shit are generally much nicer than most people think.
      And if they wouldn't know anything I doubt they would like to appear in your videos.
      By the way if you'll ever come to Germany and want to do 1-Takes on the Autobahn I'd be the first to let you drive one of my cars.

      +Jimmy the Saint car enthusiasts are a lot more understanding and friendly in person than most of the idiotic children you see online claiming to know about cars and flaming to be fair.

    • @bradcarpenter1881
      @bradcarpenter1881 8 лет назад

      +Jimmy the Saint you can really tell by the build of the car if the owner really is a true gear head / tuner enthusiast. tasteful mods, clean platform, balanced, usually = cool owner... at least that's how these one takes turn out to be.

      +TheSmokingTire agree with jimmy, imagine me coming in with my V6 camry, "hey so what have you donr to it?" "umm I changed the coolant, got new tires....new brake cylinders...yea" since people like me with stock cars know this will happen they wont contact you :D

    Nothing beats the sound of a nicely tuned NA motor. Forced induction sounds cool but the pure high pitch engine noise is just musical.

    • @NOORYOUNIS
      @NOORYOUNIS 8 лет назад +15

      Superchargers don't muffle the exhaust like turbos do.

    • @RR101001

      +Z33NY superchargers whine

    • @highwaystar1009
      @highwaystar1009 8 лет назад +2

      +Dacrazy-can Yes but they do nothing to directly mute the exhaust. And not all blowers whine if that's not your thing. Personally, I find supercharger whine to be like the perfect melody to the exhaust's harmony.

    • @xarnoldx10
      @xarnoldx10 8 лет назад +2

      +Shea Samuels I love N/A motors. No forced induction matches the way they feel and sound and never will.

    The G35's and 350z have always sounded amazing even in stock form the sound is no surprise

    • @VaunShiz
      @VaunShiz 8 лет назад +18

      ya they are the best sounding v6 you can buy pretty much, people with v6 Mustang and v6 genesis coupe always try to replicate it but you can always tell the difference

    • @Dannyyzeee
      @Dannyyzeee 8 лет назад +7

      +Carl Manney yes man the vq35s have their own signature sound. kind of fluttery.

    • @unlisted9494
      @unlisted9494 8 лет назад +3

      +Robert Nugent Nissan? The reason the car sounds half way decent is because Nissan borrowed the engine from Renault. Basically every Japanese car that doesn't sound like a tin can full of bees borrows its engine from some European company.

      @RetroMMA 8 лет назад +3

      +Carl Manney . I actually bought mine [fully loaded '06] based almost purely on the startup note... this many years later, I still drive with the windows down [when possible] just to hear that exhaust music. Just under 47,000 miles!

      Revitalyzed that was two years ago. Z drivers now are what Honda owners where in the fast and the furious days. The new ricers that think they can beat anything on the road. Just because they see a fully gutted tin can Z pugz beating a few v8s.

  • @WindmillStalker
    @WindmillStalker 8 лет назад +243

    lol, the fly-by when the guy was trying to say something isn't great timing. "Did you get the understeer sorted?" "Myeah, so what we did was....NNNNNYEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW"
    Oh. Great. That was informative...

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  8 лет назад +56

      +WindmillStalker The flyby went right in his pause. You literally miss nothing. He says "It has a little bit of oversteer now, but I never push it past its limit." It's not like I put the shot over some great, epic moment where he solves all 350Z suspension design issues.....

    • @WindmillStalker

      +Rottensteam do you prefer the 350 to the 370 though?
      I mean the 370s are more powerful

    • @Rottensteam
      @Rottensteam 8 лет назад +15

      +Taxi Driver If I should choose I would probarbly go with the 370, but there's just something more iconic over the 350. I know that the 370 is a better car, but for me it would still be a tough choice.

    • @slimzari2511
      @slimzari2511 8 лет назад +2

      Rottensteam yeah, it is just like when I prefer the C6 Corvette over the C7, its kinda unjustifiable though, but it looks simpler and better in some way in my eyes, still, I know that the c7 z06 is much better than the c7 z06

    • @robertthompson65
      @robertthompson65 8 лет назад +2

    I am actually loving the back and forth between Matt and the owner. Better then a LOT of One Takes where the owner is all quiet.
    I can't say much--If I ever get a chance for a one take I'd probably be kinda quiet, or awkward, but, either way, this is nice to listen too--and the car sounds great.

    Matt, loved the one takes ever since the series started. Few months back I started to kind of back down from them, started to seem dull, but the most recent ones are so good! Regained enthusiasm for them! Owners seem very nice and camera friendly, which I must admit, is important and adds a lot to the video. Also, keep up with the outdoor flybys and generally with great content. Respect!

  • @jklk1111

    We need (and love) the members of the More Money Than Brains Club, partly to deliver gorgeous money no object builds, partly to move the goal posts of what we think can be done.
    But: The majority of us are poor people, doing our best with what we have. This 350 didn't look like it belonged to the budget car group. Besides the exhaust which i don't like partly because it's to loud for me, partly because i'm SO over the 35,5" monster exhaust look, i LOVE how clean it is and the colour really works for me. Great looking car, and SO much respect to the owner for doing things in the right order. ..and spending the time to do it right. Major kudos :)

  • @hartsickdisciple
    @hartsickdisciple 8 лет назад +1

    That's an 07 or 08, which has the HR engine with a 7500 rpm redline. They sound REALLY good, and have significantly more power up top than the DE engine. The feedback through the shifter is one of my favorite parts of the 350z (I've owned 2). Upgrading the suspension, tires, and brakes make it a track weapon. That car has to be heaven on those roads.

    That's a nice setup, good mix of increasing the handling from stock but still retaining driveability. As for the drone, I looked at a number of setups for my G35, and without a resonator they all seem to drone, but adding one doesn't affect flow enough, unless you're concerned about a couple hp.

    @BryanHeitkotter 8 лет назад +3

    The 350Z really comes alive as a drivers' car with two things: 1) more front negative camber, and 2) a proper LSD. Other suspension/power/brake work can add benefits as well but these two things I think are crucial for drivers like us.
    Very nicely done car, Matt. Perfect combination street car and toy.

      +Eric Timmer Having a dual exhaust doesn't necessarily mean it will be quieter. His is really not bad, my Z has an agency power Y back with a Stillen Y pipe and Z1 test pipes and is obnoxious as all hell. After a motordyne Y and Art pipes it should sound much better though.

      +hazerkitten Quit hating maybe that's all some of us can afford. The Hrs aren't exactly cheap if you look around I think the DE is perfectly fine. Sure it might be less powerful but it's also 200lbs lighter and puts down higher tq numbers. Fucking hate people like you always shitting on older models, were comparing the same car with some improvements over the years not a TT vs N/A.

    Bringing back memories of my 2008 HR Track edition 350z. I chased that clunk for six months. New whiteline diff and subframe bushings, new Exedy HD clutch and flywheel, new drive shafts and re-shimed the diff for backlash 3 times. Nobody could solve it. Sold it in the end. Though with just bold on it was proper fast! I bought another MX5 instead.

      +Smash Da Gas not chatter... that was terrible with the single mass flywheel though. Actual clunk in the drivetrain. You can hear it a second after matt changes gears. It was actually worse when not pushing it. The owner thinks it's stuffed rear subframe bushings... hopefully that is the case for his car.

    As well as being a nice looking, handling and sounding car, the owner seems to be a nice bloke too!

    One of my favorite cars I've owned. Since you have an HR I'd recommend a 4.08 gear swap. Really seemed to wake mine up.
