i have an 05, but 06 would be your best bet since its newer and comes standard xenon headlamps and rear led lights, its also the last zee they made with vq35de...as for stock internals with a TT, sure, but its just a matter of time before your engine blows.

as for tt and internals... pretty much any forced induction its a must to change internals.... but as for trim the base does not have lsd or cruise and the enthu does.... depending on how u wanna drive the car and what ur using it for might determine if u wanna spend a lil more money on the enthu for the lsd... lsd's are expensive to buy and put on... i got screwed cause the *** hole who sold me my car said it was enthu and i found out it wasnt so now i have to buy lsd. ( but i loved the car so much i didnt wanna go through all the hassel and plus i got the only blue one with under 20k miles for 19k so i wasnt to pissed)... the only thing with 06 is that some tend to burn a lil oil... my 06 hasnt yet tho g/l wit the buy and hope u get what u want

well im rockin a base model and i can safely say, you would enjoy an enthusiast trim, i couldn't really care less about cruise control or volume settings on my steering wheel JUST because its 3 inches closer.

The stock internals are good enough for low boost. Boost of any kind is never safe on any motor of any build. There is always a chance of detonation. Now the APS TT kits advertised (there are two) are great kits, but one of them requires a built motor which is obvious when you look at the power ratings and the price! The one you want for stock, is the less expensive one. I believe its rated at 7.5 psi, which is ok on stock. Some people have claimed 10+ on stock internals(not recommended). I my self am wanting the Turbonetics single turbo set-up. Supplies 8.5 psi on stock motor, provides 450+ crank power on stock car. Best over all bang for the buck. MSRP is like $5500 but you can find it easily for $4800. No tuning necessary, reflash instructions included - and you can do it all your self, if you are comfortable with that.

Don't forget to check out the 350z FAQ & General Info thread/library (stuck). Has a lot of info in it and one thread about TT's.....

would definately do some internal work on mine.As for exhaust I have the greddy EVO2 and absoulutely love it. It's a true dual exhaust that's not loud and abnoxious, but still sounds great. If you get test pipes make sure you get the high flow cats ones.

Sheets you finally got your EVO2's glad to hear. You say they are not to loud but sound good, Is it still a deeper than stock sound, but not overbearing. I dont want that tuner sound you know I mean.

I've also debated over the 05 vs 06 Z once, but he I ended up getting the 06 because of HID headlights came standard.
