Like it says Im thinking about picking one up wanted to see if anybody had anything good?bad to say about them?Has anybody boosted theres just wanted to see if it is worth it.

 

there nice if you just want a quick dependable daily driver and dont have to carry alot of people or stuff. their only a 2 seater(reason why i like the g35 more). also, i have seen a few write ups(i think one was on tr) of people that boosted them and its a tight fit and a real pain in the ass.

 

I have one, i love it more and more everyday.

It looks fantastic, its reliable, plenty of room for 2 people, not sure what kind of car you are coming from but to most people its a pretty fast car. Once you start modding they can get really nasty in a hurry as well

 

350z good
Boost good

This is a 40 to 45 mph hit. kid never even hit the brakes

My wife and I love the Z. We drove up to michigan and back and still love it..

 

I'm considering a 2005 350z, perhaps a "touring," with a manual tranny. Does anyone know of common problem items to look for?

 

come on man this thread is 4 years old!!!

 

grave diggin at its best

but.. since he asked. i had a 2004 touring 350. i loved it when i first purchased the car. i would still own one, just dont turbo anything before an 07. the VQ35DE can handle 8lbs, if it spikes or ANYTHING goes out of wack you motor is gone gone gone.. if you build the motor they love boost. as far as NA mods i think the highest hp i have heard of is about 300whp with thousands in mods also using fcon. the car is comfy and gets looks everywhere (even if there are a billion of them) tranny issues should be in the faint history. there was a recall on trannys from 03,05 and 05. Nissan was very active at getting these changed out to the newer tranny, some of the originals had bad syncro issues that would not enable to shift. lots of aftermarket support and fun car all around... with that said... i have a clean 240 i guess that speaks for itself. good luck

 

I echo Z350man. I used to own a 2003 350Z which I bought brand new. Then, I traded it for a BMW 335i at the end of last year. It was a great car which I enjoyed driving for the past 7 years. Fortunately, the tranny didn't need to be replaced, but it did have the tire feathering issue which was covered by the warranty. By 2005, I believe that problem was corrected. Other than that, I had no other major mechanical issues.
One minor thing I had to have done was replace the driver side window motor because it went bad. That's about it.

There's definitely a lot of aftermarket stuff out there. I added a Motordyne plenum spacer and the NISMO Cat-back, CAI, and LGMT4 rims.
After I added all that, it ran even better.
