hood doesn't look like 2005 model

yea its just a little hard to tell but it has that bump in it

and nice car enjoy

[LeeSmash2k10]

yes i know i said the same thing dealer said its some "custom" hood

[R350Zz33]

was the car ever crashed it looks like a 07 08 not an 05

[evildky]

yup, 17-08 hood and bumeper cover

you sure it's never been wrecked? got the carfax?

[sek-Z]

doesnt look like an 05. taillights, headlights, wheels, and front bumper resemble an 06-08.

[LeeSmash2k10]

to all it may concern im just going by what dealer said. exact words " this right here sir is a 2005 nissan 350z" and i asked whats up with the hood? he said " some custom hood." So let me take a pic of the sticker with the vin#. maybe thatll clarify everything.

[LeeSmash2k10]

you guys were right. its an 06 not 05.my dad is going back to dealership today see if we can actually get an 03 or 05.

sorry for doughting you guys

heres the pic:

Still...that's not a "custom" hood. That hood only comes on the 07 and 08 350Z. That's why everyone is asking if it's been wrecked because the hood has been replaced.

heres the pic:

It

The engine bay pic shows that it is not a '07....style was changed in '07.The steering wheel looks like a '05 because the '06 had 6 controls on the steering wheel, 3 on each side....must be a '06 base model. The hood had to be replaced by the previous owner.Looking at the vin#...#6 in the vin# is the year....so it's a '06.

My advice is....don't buy a '03.Too many problems!

[mychalous]

and this time imgoingto make sure its either a 03 or 05.

why an '03 or '05?

[LeeSmash2k10]

sluggoZ: what about the 03' 350Z track?

mychalous: well 03-05 i should say, but they are the best years, they have the most torque

[dasoupdude]

The rpm redline is a dead give away that it is not an 05.

[LeeSmash2k10]

yea when you look at it now i should of noticed all the things that were wrong is houldve noticed it wasnt a 2005. im dumb

[sluggoZ]

The vast majority of '03's have all kinds of problems (very expensive ones too!), in fact, way too many to list. Just my 2 cents worth!

[LeeSmash2k10]

so do you think i should get an 04 or 05?

[sluggoZ]

Yes...BTW there is a '04 and a '04.5.Try & find a '04.5....by looking in the driver's side door jam, you'll see a tag with the month & year built date. The '04.5 model will start in Dec. of '03. Other '04.5 tid-bits are...knee pads added on the driver's side, larger size, sun visors but most importantly is the fact that a lot of the earlier problems were fixed and then passed onto the assembly line workers so the car was up-dated with corrected TSB's.

[BusyBadger]

The rpm redline is a dead give away that it is not an 05.

My '05 has a redline like that.

[sluggoZ]

My '05 has a redline like that.

BusyBadger...you must have a '05 35th Anniversay Edtion....they have the '06 redline.

[BusyBadger]

You either read the cars listed below my avatar or have a problem detecting internet sarcasm. Either way you're correct.

Of course it could also be an '05 Track model - but that would be splitting hairs now, wouldn't it?

[evildky]

manufactured 09/06 would make it an 07 model

[evildky]

and the 05 track and aniversary editions had brembo brakes

[sluggoZ]

manufactured 09/06 would make it an 07 model

The '07 model has a different engine bay lay out.

ur wrong 07-08 are the best higher red line and 306hp i raced a 04 g35 the other night he had the spacer nismo intake and hks high power and the throttle body spacer he had no hood and no spare tire after market rims and new tires i had me and my friend in my car he was by himself he also had a stage 2 clutch we were pretty even untill 3rd i took a slight lead.

[LeeSmash2k10]

yes they have a higher redline and more hp but hell the 03-05 are at least 200 lbs heavy but let me be exact it is 151 lbs heavier. so more torque and weighs way less. id have to go with the 03-05.

[R350Zz33]

also manny people cant afford to buy new or the newer used ones u can get a 03 for like 15g
