Handsome, powerful and built on a platform old enough to vote, which you feel from the first corner.

Nissan did the honest thing and admitted the budget was small. The RZ34 takes the 370Z's underpinnings, which trace to the previous decade, and fits the 400 horsepower twin-turbo V6 from the Infiniti range plus a body that quotes the 240Z at the front and the 300ZX at the back. The styling works. The engine is strong and flexible, the manual is fine, and for the money the performance is real.
What you cannot disguise is the age underneath. The structure is not as stiff as anything modern, the ride and noise levels are dated, and the chassis runs out of composure earlier than a Supra or a Cayman. Interior switchgear is shared with cheaper Nissans and looks it, though the three analogue gauges on the dash are a nice touch. Fuel economy is mediocre. Reliability should be sound because everything in it has been in production for years. It is a lot of car for the price and not a great one.
