Nissan - The Japanese Sports Car

By: Kathy Austin

The Nissan 350 Z is a product of the Nissan Motor Co., Japan. The 350 Z is the contemporary line-up of Nissan's Z sports car, which was initially introduced in 1969 as the Datsun 240 Z. It is at present available in numerous natty packages and is put up for sale as both a two-door coup and a roadster.

The outside of the 350 Z, a two seater, has a thoroughly modern design. It looks every bit like what a sports car should. The capacity for speed is written all over the car. Seen from the sides it shows a gently curved nose with a long hood, an equally sloped but triangular cabin that stretches back right to the end of the vehicle. It has a bulging hood to fit a relative large engine for a sports car. The only problem with the exterior is that it looks remarkably similar to the older versions of the Z series and it is a bit difficult to differentiate if one is driving the latest or one of the older cars.

The interior is a tad surprising. The soft leather seats and all the areas that were tangible were perfectly finished and looked as if they were for an expensive sports car. The steering wheel looks somewhat bulky but it suffices. Being a two seater, it has no back seat but comes with ample cargo space. The vehicle, unexpectedly, even has a couple of cupholders. Being a sports car, not much emphasis has been given to the entertainment part of the vehicle but enough is available to make long journeys sound.

The 3.5 lt. V6 engine that powers the 350 Z is capable of developing 306 hp. and 268 lb.-ft. of torque complemented with a dual inlet air-intake system, variable exhaust cam timing and a high compression ratio. The machine can be soused up to redline at 7500 rpm. A Five Speed Auto Transmission or a Six Speed Close Ratio Manual Transmission effectively transfers the generated to the large 19" rear wheels. The Z capable of accelerating from zero to sixty mph in just 5.5 secs.

The 350 Z performs equally well on a race track and on the city / highway roads making it both a fast and rugged & practical car as well. On the race track with its altitude changes, pointed turns and short straight runs, the 350Z performed almost without a flaw. On the road, the sports car handles just as perfectly and gives a comfortable carefree driving or riding pleasure.

Safety has been given the due importance required for a sports car and the compulsory dual-stage front airbags are available in all models, but active head restraints and electronic stability control are not available on all models except as optional add-ons but would have been welcome as standard gear. Tire Pressure Monitoring System is typical equipment on all models. Electronic Stability Control System is standard on the more expensive Touring and Grand Touring models.

The Nissan 350 Z Keychains are can be obtained in just three selections: the Teardrop, the Valet and the Steering Wheel. They are not flashy but simple in design but just as unique as the kind of cars that they signify.
