Buying Tips for the Nissan 370Z (Z34)

  • On early cars, ask whether the steering lock module has been updated or bypassed because failure can leave the car immobilised.
  • Manual cars should have a consistent clutch pedal hot and cold; any softness or refusal to disengage gears is a warning sign.
  • Inspect tyres, brake discs and forged alloys carefully for evidence of hard track use or repeated kerb damage.
