Nissan 370Z Z34 price

• The regular car uses Nissan’s 3,696 cc VQ37VHR V6. A UK Nissan specification sheet quotes 328 PS; its six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic choices are discussed in contemporary buying guides. Nissan UK specification sheet; RAC.
• The Roadster has a powered fabric roof. GT versions add equipment including upgraded seats and audio; the GT Edition brought distinctive paint, stripes and Rays wheels in 2011. PistonHeads.
• A mild facelift arrived in late 2012. Nissan’s UK sheet quotes the Nismo at 344 PS, with its own chassis, aero and trim specification. The Nismo range and exact launch date vary by market, so confirm a car’s original market before comparing listings. PistonHeads; Nissan UK specification sheet.
• A further update in 2017 brought small styling changes and an Exedy clutch for manual cars in PistonHeads’ UK account. PistonHeads.

Compare like with like: a Nismo, GT Edition, Roadster and base coupe offer different equipment and ownership costs. On a manual, check the clutch carefully and look for repair evidence. On an early car, ask whether low oil pressure has been investigated; Z specialists report failure of the oil-gallery gaskets behind the timing cover, which may produce poor hot-idle pressure without an external leak. A measured hot oil-pressure result is stronger evidence than a seller saying that the warning lamp has never lit. Horsham Developments’ technical explanation.

Condition remains decisive. Inspect a Roadster’s entire roof cycle and the windows that move with it. On a coupe, check whether the heavy hatch stays open, then assess front-end paint for chips or overspray. Original Nismo equipment, a clear service file and restrained modifications make a higher asking price easier to assess. A low odometer reading cannot establish that hydraulic, roof or clutch components are healthy. PistonHeads.

A manual clutch that judders, slips or changes pedal feel needs diagnosis. Early Z34s also warrant an oil-pressure check when fully warm if symptoms or history raise concern: failed gallery gaskets can leak internally, so an engine may show no oil dripping outside. Nissan ran a North American steering-lock service campaign for certain 2009–2010 370Zs because a faulty unit could prevent starting. Verify eligibility and completed work by VIN and market; do not assume the campaign covers every European car. Horsham Developments; Nissan campaign bulletin.

On a Roadster, operate the hood repeatedly and watch that the windows lower and return correctly. Check the hatch struts, front paint, fuel gauge and start procedure. The RAC reports owner complaints involving clutch behaviour, hatch release, fuel indication and fuel starvation during fast cornering with little fuel. Treat such symptoms as reasons to inspect the specific car, not as proof that every 370Z suffers them. PistonHeads; RAC.

PistonHeads gives a routine service interval of 9,000 miles or twelve months and notes a larger service involving consumables such as spark plugs around 54,000 miles. Ask what was actually replaced, especially when a car is being sold just before a major visit. Inspect brake and tyre wear, clutch operation and roof condition separately from the service stamp. If early-car oil pressure is uncertain, pay for a proper pressure test before budgeting for a gasket repair; a symptom alone does not identify its cause. PistonHeads; Horsham Developments.

Does every early 370Z need gallery gaskets? No failure can be assumed from the build year alone. Check repair records and have hot oil pressure measured if there is a concern. Horsham Developments.

Was the steering-lock fault a European recall? The Nissan document opened for this guide describes a North American service campaign for certain 2009–2010 cars. A dealer or national Nissan service should check a European car’s VIN for local applicability. Nissan campaign bulletin.

What distinguishes a Nismo? Nissan’s UK sheet lists a higher-output engine and distinct aero, chassis and trim equipment. Verify those original features before treating a modified standard coupe as equivalent. Nissan UK specification sheet.

What should be tested on a Roadster? Run the roof through a complete opening and closing cycle and watch the side windows reseat against it. A hesitant mechanism needs diagnosis before purchase. PistonHeads.
