Not too bad considering power and engine size then. It's a 3.7 litre V6 isn't it?

yeah I was pleasantly surprised, its just too tempting to floor it!

Thats better than my 1990 I6. And you have an entire 1.2 litres and 120HP more, while also being 300KG heavier. I know tech has moved on but thats actually a little depressing.

But then, the new 5.0 Mustang gets better fuel economy on a run than a 370Z so...

time to upgrade to a mustang i suppose

The s2000 went at the weekend, replaced with this

very enjoyable so far, nice to have some creature comforts again

That is crying out for some spacers. Would look the business.

Had a wee stop at Teabay services, taking the car down to give to my dad.

Came back outside with my sausage role, but the picture was spoiled!

Nice Nissan Murano that, is it the V6?

-Ad- · 13 Feb 2019 at 22:29

Yeah, de-tuned 350z engine. This one is LPG converted so has decent mileage on a long journey.

Bought it on 48k miles a year or so ago, now on 58k. But we needed get rid for something newer unfortunately, so it's staying in the family luckily as my dad wants a go for a few years.

Just replaced the rusted through sump today, but the oil cooler line next to it crumbled away at the merest touch. Glad it managed the 500 mile journey south yesterday and didn't pee coolant out all over the Motorway .

I was hoping you were going to be another surprise wealthy person on the forums

Cool Murano anyway

Do we need any more? Make me feel poorer than I already felt. I'm not even sure I could afford that fat Datsun at the moment.

It's not the Datsun you'd go for anyway though, right? https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/datsun/240z/datsun-240z/9430957

Mmmmmmmm...... <3

I'd get a 260 or 280 for significantly less instead. Same chassis, same body, pretty much same handling despite the extra weight from the additional .2 or .4L.

Akagi · 14 Feb 2019 at 11:15

I'll take any.

Is it ever not raining there?

Forget 240z, Supercharge the Murano, v6 charged with 4wheel drive, best car in the world.......

Bought a new bike carrier recently, quite enjoyable so far. Looking to get the wheels changed to black, and potentially window surrounds too. Could do with a clean mind.

Because it looks great on white cars?

Do it just to annoy OcUK.

You won't be going far on that bicycle.
