For those who don't know, Nismo 350z's were different all around. NOT just the rarity. These 1,613 Z's were taken off the assembly line and sent to Autech. Nismo 350z chassis are all hand stitch welded, exhaust is different, suspension is multilink and stiffer, they come with brembos, more chassis rigidity, nismo numbering badge, nismo gauge cluster, red inserts on the cloth seats, red sitching on the doorcards, as well as the obvious wheels and bodykit.
This is equally as good as Doug Demuro. He does the cars people probably won’t be able to experience. And you do the cars everybody can/has in their lifetime.
Another pro to the HR over the Nismo is the amount of stylistic freedom you get when it comes to customization, considering it’s kinda sacrilege to do away with the Nismo kit on a Nismo
Niiiiice where are you located/where did you buy it?? How many miles are on it? I bought an 08 hr 5-6 months ago already put 10k miles on it i fucking love this car. They are known to be reliable, and if you take care of it (oil changes 4-5k miles etc) it will be good to you a very long time. Theres a guy on YT here with an HR 350z tuned and tons of Bolt ons, he hit 270k miles & he drives the piss out of it. He posts vids like 40-160mph vids, 8k rpm no-lift shifts… nuts
@@redline350zHR mine has just over 220,000 miles and i live in West Virginia. other than being lowered on bc coilovers it only has that and the subframe has been replaced with white tubing. i paid 6,500 for it
HR doesn’t stand for high rev it’s High Rise because the block is taller with longer rods that got rid of pinging issues in the “de and de rev up” that’s why 2007+ that has he engine has a bump in the hood to fit the taller engine
That Hr is probably making less power with those Hot intakes lmao but other than that i respect the Build 🙏🏽 im still Stock only gutted about 100 pounds and im pulling on Bolt-on G37’s 😂
@@JohnWick-no8oz Just got a G35 with the HR motor and manual trans, and the last owner of course stuck those hot air intakes in it. I immediately ordered a proper CAI system the moment I got it home lol
@@redline350zHR found the car for $5k on Facebook marketplace, and worked with a private seller! Unfortunately the motor blew up on me due to a gallery gasket problem I wasn't aware of, but I dropped another low mileage motor in it and it's running great again! Feels amazing to drive
Nice ride love my 370Z convertible gun metal grey roadster it’s a sports touring model got the Bose sound system other than a chip tune she pushing close to 400hp which is fine for me .
Nice review, owned a new DE in 2003, bought a Rev up 35th anniversary model in 2019, for a weekend toy - fabulous car, and my daily cars are new prestige German cars :), so can highly recommend a 350z
Had a 313 HR UK spec so comes with Brembo's. Miss that car so much I'm actually contemplating buying another one. Really good on twisty roads fantastic all rounder and you can push 28mpg on a motorway/highway as well. I did have a few issues with the 350z when I owned mine however all these are easily fixed with mods. 1. I wasn't impressed with the gear shifts at all on them despite what you say here, I found them to be quite clunky, 1st Gear was always a bit jerky at low speeds and you'd hear the flywheel chirp away, 1st to 2nd was always a bit of a mission to find unless you gave the car some rev's (This can be solved by fitting a single mass flywheel and getting rid of the duel mass flywheel, also allows the engine to rev more smoothly) 2. The car can be very unpredictable in tight corners or fast corners, the car would feel like it want's to understeer into the corner and the next thing the car would try and swap ends and head into an oversteer so you ended up having to guess what the car was going to do (also a reason why I loved the car it's very on the edge) you can fix this by fitting Michelin PSS's they seem to really benefit from dropping the manufacturer spec Bridgestone's, also worth getting a good laser alignment done for a fast road set up. Mine was night and day after this. Nice review, I think 350z are just one of those car's that you don't expect too much out of them until you actually drive one and then its just an addiction.
Full blast AC on at hot idle is not awesome for this HR. The blank spot on this Base or Enthusiast model sure is used for the Nismo plate, but neither these nor the Nismo have heated leather seats -- that's exactly where the driver & passenger heated seat buttons are in Touring+ models.
steering wheel doesn't have buttons due to it being a base model. wasnt intended to be driver oriented like stated in the video. base model has a different gear ratio, open differential, no traction control, and cloth non powered seats.
@@KiingTx The base model doesn't have a different gear ratio. No relevance saying you've owned 7 Z33s, anyone can go be an idiot lol. Post the source for your claim or shut your piehole.
I may be mistaken on this so someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but the CD00A is the same as the CD009 it's just a OEM part being made with a new part number. The HRs in the 350s and 370s got a similar transmission but with a different part number and that's the one with the internal slave cylinder. I don't know that's just my understanding lol I'm pretty sure they're all just as good as the CD009 though.
I’m trying to sell a 2008 Nissan350Z HR 306 horsepower (automatic) 225k miles (highway) and am wondering what price range I should be asking for it. Located in the Napa Valley.
@@sixstrz8310 that oil pressure is actually within range per the Nissan Manual, at normal operating temperature.. 15psi at idle when warm... Some people freak out when that gauge sits around there. Those guages were also as notorious to fail as the paper oem gallery gaskets were to fail.. So it's really a toss up whether the gallery gaskets need to be replaced... That's my old car, and under power the needle would almost peg out on the high side, so she had oil pressure 😉
The steering wheel is just missing it’s controls as it probably wasn’t optioned with them when it was bought Both sides of the wheel have audio controls and cruise control.
@@sixstrz8310 that’s not even almost correct. The nismo has 3 added brace bars on the chassis. The chassis itself is also welded, where a normal z is just seam sealed. Then you have the different aero and big brakes. Also big brakes on touring models I know. I can make a video and show the difference if needed
@@MountainCamber you can still add aftermarket suspension even sway bars to a z in general the nismo is a good handling car no doubt but the didn’t design it to the point were you can’t get the with aftermarket parts
