350z was my high school dream car and I finally purchased one in college. The VQ sound (when done right) is one of a kind. I'd suggest at least learning to drive with a more tame car because the base models don't even have traction control! (which can be a good thing)

Being someone who lives in the UK and has just turned 21, it blows my mind that a 3.5L 350z is even considered a car for a student. Over here students tend to get small engined hatchbacks that cost next to nothing to buy, run and insure.

how much was yours

You are a actual legend if you drive a manuel to collage/school

Dope video bought my z barely this year and so far it’s all been cool it’s definitely helped me get more into the car science and Learn more about cars I love my car and it does me well driving plenty of miles per day

Loving these videos! I was looking to buy a 350z, and watching your videos made me want to get one even more haha. Keep it up man would be sad to see no more Z videos.

Got my Z as a first car last year daily drive it and if you take care of it you will love every last second of driving it (I have a manual enthusiast trim level)

I just graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering from UW. I too, wanted to find something that would tie back in with my love for cars. Going through the classes was really cool because a lot of what you learn can be tied back. Especially Thermodynamics where you learn basics of combustion, different types of engines and how they produce power, or Machine Design II, where you learn about shafts and gears, or Machining class (it was an elective for me in my program), where you learn how to use lathes, mills, utilization of different metals/materials, Material Science class where you learn the strengths behaviors of different materials and how they can change, the list goes on. Best part about this particular field, is that we sort of fit anywhere. Its such a broad study and we cover so many different topics, that you can really apply to a lot of different engineering positions. It's not going to be easy and there is going to be a lot of nights studying with friends, empty pizza boxes, hours of dedication in the library, but I'll tell you now, it is very worth it. I hope this helps you decide, and good luck on your future

Living in Singapore. Price of a car is extremely high unless you are a business director or owner earning in a steady income of 6-7 figures per year. Owning a car for most is a financial liability which could land in a infinite spiral of debt. Public transport are very feasible here with bus stops everywhere. Price of a used 370z GT can set you a hefty quotation of $200,000 excluding taxes while a brand new Alpine A110-S can easily set you $250,000. So most of the students do take public transportation.

I've stayed in the same job for almost an entire year and now im 17 and im getting paid more, but im going to work a lot this summer and I made a deal with my dad that im going to have a budget of 10k since ill be making more this summer quicker, and he can pay half, and I can pay half.

The 350z in my opinion it's the best sports car for people that want to become a mechanic and make ur skills as a driver bcs most cars similar to 350z like the s2000 are expensive and the 350z it's reliable easy to work on and also i consider to buy it stock and not modified bcs most of them are really bad shape and are from people that mantain them really badly so that's my tip for the good sports car for biginners

How much does a 350Z cost pls do tell 😭😭

Not gona lie tho folks unless you put a kit on it the 350/370z looks a liiiiitle girly. I always thought atleast. Go with the g37x coupe. Get the AWD because you can switch it to RWD whenever u want. Also .. get some tint and straight pipe those mufflers. It cost me 560$ to do both of those in canada, so cheaper in the states. The muffler will be rly loud but will get quiter and sound miiint 👌

In basic no. Unless you make 15/hr and or live with your parents good luck. Common Z probs/Mods to fix Catch Can: $100 Valve Co Gaskets:$100 Diff Bushings: $200 w Tool Engine/Trans Mounts: $350 Clutch Flywheel 5-6yrs: $700 Suspension (shit ball joints/struts from factory) $600-2000 Gas Mileage: 15-25MPG w 93 Octane @ $3.60/gal. Tires: $650 Insurance: 150-300$/mo Payment if financed: 180-360/mo They are however fun to drive, crank everytime, meaning most of the issues are cosmetic or bushing/Mount related, very few electrical issues and overall are great, easy to drive and park, enough power for a daily drive without risking too much for teens that have trouble judging distance. (I.e pulling out into traffic). And tbh as long as your mirrors are set they have GREAT visibility believe it or not. If you’re working minimum wage and don’t have mechanical knowledge and or help I wouldn’t advise it. If you’re making double minimum wage and have some mechanical expertise, as well as access to tools then sure. So unless you buy a real minty Z, you’ll be replacing some parts, expect to spend 10k regardless. If you can afford either the payment or the parts while working part time, and have the time to install them yourself, or have a parent guardian to help you, then you’ll do great. If you don’t, then I would steer clear and buy something that won’t eat your money over 6 years time.
