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.

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.

+Taxi Driver Only in stock form ;). And I absolutely prefer the handling and appearance of the 350Z better than the 370Z -- especially in a roadster version!!

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.

That V6 howl sounds so good!

350 has the best sounding V6 I've ever heard.

Man just an awesome car . The sound alone makes me excited.. A car well done .. kudos to the tuner/owner. awesome. Loved hearing him speak about figuring out the alignment ... that's hard work.

the fact that the owner started from the brakes and suspension tuning which lasted a year shows his maturity and real world logic.adding the kindness and humbleness , I honestly hope he may enjoy his ride the best way possible !

VQ with a nice exhaust setup is ear porn.

Excellent one take! Love the 350Z chassis; it feels so planted. Owner seems like a great guy, and knows his stuff. 👍

finally some love for the Z! I DD an '03

Matt, you're a good man. U really made this guys day by complement in him in his modest build. I could see it in his face when you'd made a complement. Well done, sir👍🏻

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!

Love the All Blacks jersey you're still rocking from New Zealand. We just won the rugby world cup!

The 350Z is an iconic car. Thanks for the video, Matt. Looks like you really enjoyed it.

The owner is reall passionate and knows his stuff, awesome car too btw

Thanks for the recent string of drive bys! I'm sure I wasn't the only one requesting these in the one takes. It's nice to hear how these builds sounds from the outside.

...fly-bys are just the right touch of minimal input and maximum gains...hope they're not running you broke because we appreciate them being just enough to break the monotony...keep em coming...

wow, there's actually a 2-way conversation

The fly-by's are nice, Matt. Having the owner peel-out as well is also a cool touch that doesn't require as much effort as well. GJ! Enjoyed this vid.

Do have to say its the nicest sounding car you've one-taked in a while. Just a clean smooth sound with out any funny business. Tastefully clean Z.

This is EASILY my favorite 350Z build. Absolutely stunning in person!

everyone says this car is a dog which is unfortunate because they're relatively inexpensive and all the ingredients are there for a good car I'm glad I can get Matt's view on one of these!

Z looks nice! Sounds amazing, perfect exhaust!

Damn I love this 350z. Always enjoyed them but I really like how this one is done. Great car Matt!

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.

Love the sound but I think I would go with a dual exhaust to tone it down a little bit. 350Z is my next car, been hunting for the right one.

Mord Fustang also, not to fanboy but, HR parts are SOOOO much more expensive than DE parts and every HR owner can agree.

Every video you put out you have amazing heel to toe man, I've been working on mine this whole year, and the fact that you get it down in every car you get in is amazing much respect brother much love! By the way are the 350z pedals close together like the 300 pedals?

Im glad that you got back to the canyons

This Z drives very nice, and the sound is just amazing!

Love it! Watched this again now as I just bought a 2007 Nissan 350z roadster touring with a MT, only 62,000 miles/just shy of 100,000kms. Basically stock with a Magnaflow catback. Excited to get could and some other suspension upgrades. A little heavier as a roadster but I love it!

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 :)

LOVE THE FLYBYS MATT, GOOD ADDITION TO THE SHOW

That Chris Harris impression though :D.

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.

I just bought one. I'm about to go put the plates on it and drive it for the first time. Very excited to see what this car can do.

Wow. I did not expect this car to sound this good!

Wooo! Finally some Z action. Hope you get a manual G37/G35 sedan to drive one day.

OMG I know this car! I used to see him all the time at the meets at Quickly Irvine! Love this car

Super clean Z. Really digging the outros!

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.

I think Matt was pleasantly surprised with this Z because it has the HR motor.. HUGE difference from the DE motors

Very well done... that is a very clean Z, it's not to dramatic... simplicity goes a long way to me.

Matt, the top part of this road is the best. Sometimes there is bad rocks on the uphilll lane if the rock removal truck hasnt come recently. I DH skate it with my buds all the time and run it with my mk6 GTi. We're serious dh skaters who stay in our lane, haul ass, slide to slow down as we enter the corners.

I met this guy up at Angeles Crest once. Very cool guy. Awesome video

Yes, finally a one take with a Z!

Great guest! Car sounds great as well.

Simple, well balanced, sounds great! I dig it!

Loving the flyby shots guys!

good to see you rocking the all blacks jacket!

Nice to finally see a Z. Glad you liked it :)

What a nice guy. You can see how excited he is :)

gotta love that VQ. The intake sound in the cabin is great. Not as much the exhaust from the outside though

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.

I was always a fan of the trumpet sound

great exhaust sound from modified Nissan 350 z.

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.

reminds me of my 350z, and i agree with u 100% on the understeer and the shifter knob vibration lol
