Considering Buying a 350Z

[blazin]

Hey guys, right now i own a 1996 Eagle Talon TSi.It breaks a lot! ha ha

Now I'm thinking of going to a 350Z but I thought i would come here and get some good information from the people who would know the car best.

I'm just wondering about reliability, how easy power gains are, and just the total drive ability of the car its self. Im going to go test drive one soon, im looking at 2003 - 2004 model.

If you guys could just give me some good info that would be awesome.

How much do you love your cars!

Thanks

I read all the STUCK notes, I am just looking for a good honest personnel opinion.

They do sound awesome, im not looking to mod much, just exhaust spacer and intake. So i dont think that will take away from the reliability or the 200 000 mile motor life all that much.

Just looking for a good personnel opinion.

If you are looking for a 2003-2004ish Z, then I would suggest you make sure that you get the 2004.5 Z. It has a stronger transmission than the earlier models and is less hassle.

There is a list around here somewhere about what VINS to check for on an 04.5 Z.

Also just a heads up, if you are going with an intake manifold spacer higher than 5/16 you will also need to find spacers for your front strut tower bar.
