The blurryness is due to the CCD of the camera holding the capture windows open longer; it doesn't happen with the flash since the flash provides sufficient reflection for a fast snap. So to get good night pictures with no flash, have the camera sit on something still (a tripod would be too much to ask for; but you can lay the camera on the hood of another car or anything that will keep the camera super still).

Sweet, sweet car. Have you noticed any kind of low-gear oversteer with the TCS off?

And the nice thing is that 3 years after delivery, that "feeling" about this car is still there- I'm having so much fun with this thing. There have been a few bumps along the road, but the dealers i've gone to for service have been fine.

Am I invited to ? I only live about 20 minutes away from the mall. But by the looks of Ethan's avatar I may be frowned upon and cast away from the Z brotherhood because I own a 5AT.

Hey Ethan where the comparision you promised from the '84 to '03. LOL !!!

Glad to hear you are still as happy with her 3 years later. I am at year 2 and feel even better about my baby than the day I met her.

When you bumped the thread I had to read the history.

I bought my '04 to replace my '84 300ZXT AE. I sold the AE after a year owning the 350Z. I thought I might have some new car issues that would require me to keep my old commute car (AE) but not a one and I had too many cars to keep the AE.

So, what is your impression. Mine, I love the torque on the twisty mountain roads and the fresh, ahead of it's time styling. I plan on doing some more mods. I just hope this car lasts as long as my AE did. I had 200K on the clock and was still running really strong with 10psi boost.



I still miss the AE ..... T-tops are nice!

Here's the '04. As you can see I'm modding already:
