A good friend has the Nismo 350Z in a MY06. It looks smart and sounds good under abuse, not a bad Sunday car at all.
He was telling me he can notch 40mpg cruising at 60mph on short-med dual carraigeway commutes, so if gingered along it can be relatively economical.
Driven hard though, that, of course, like any 6cylinder petrol car goes out the window.
He's had no issues, it's been fairly bullet proof for him. Spec is reasonable and the kit on the Nismo one seems to give it that little more 'special' look
I think his was under 10k and it's got hardly any miles on for it's age, under 50,000 IIRC.
Personally for me, I'd choose an e46 M3 with a kosher sub frame and boot well over the Zed, or even a bargain Z4M coupe for a bit more cash
