long story short I paid 23,500 OTD.
I later found out from a friend that works on the other side of the dealer that the dealership paid 23,200 for the car. I bought it for 300 over what they paid and that's with Tax tags and title work. of corse they got my 98 civic but ohwell.
point being. Cash in hand makes it so you can nail down great deals.
ALWAYS have your money setup before walking into a dealer. never ask them any questions about finance unless it's for their used/new % rate, just make sure you follow that question up with a oh thats crappy my bank/credit union can do much better.... (puts the sells person in his place) always be one up on them. If they say something good about the car. say something to counter it to keep the upper hand =) If they ask questions about trade ins tell them you'll talk about that after you find a car you want for the price you want.
so many things you can do to take (thousands) off a price tag.

I like the SE-R Altima a lot, but only if I had to get a 4 door. There's really no comparison between that and a Z but my wife's next car will be an SE-R so I'm not embarassed to drive the "other" car,

Can anyone say VQ35? does this mean its the same motor as the 350Z? I stated from my first post its not 100% the same but it's still a VQ35 block.
In the last picture...toward the rear of the block is the 4 bolt holes for the motor mount. On the FWD cars they are at the back of the block like in your picture. On the RWD cars and trucks they are in the center of the block.
Always ask for pictures of the block when buying a VQ35 engine

thanks he just proved once again the SE-R has a VQ35.
Just becuase the mounts are not in the same place as the 350z doesnt mean its not a VQ35.

That was taken from your post you showed me.

Here is a copy of the OP's question.

The reason I ask, is because i've obsessed over owning a Z for the longest time, but have never been able to really fit it in my budget. No dealer can ever get the numbers to work around $350-$400 a month, even with VPP and money down. So I glanced at a dealer demo'd Altima SE-R auto. I would assume if the engine was the same, and supposedly the rear suspension is like the Z's, then the car wouldn't be that bad right? I know it would definitely be more practical, considering this will be my only car.

I believe the block is the same but outside of that things are different. like cams, computer timing. maybe even heads. I'm not realy 100% sure tho.
do both cars have the same motor? um well once again from my first post

I've quoted different sites stating the SE-R has a VQ35 nothing other then the SE-R having a VQ35
Give me a simple yes or no to this queston, does the SE-R have a VQ35?
Once again from my very first post I said they were not the same motors, I pointed out that they were both a VQ35 block.

You can try to make it seem as though you are right but you are wrong. You have been wrong since the beginning of this thread. You have no knowledge of the subject and offered bad advice. You aren't man enough to admit you made a mistake so you want to go down like a douche. The title of this thread is not do both cars have a a VQ35. The title is are they the same engine. They are not the same engine. I cannot imagine any possible way to make this more clear to you. They have different part numbers at the dealer. Do you have any idea what I am trying to help you understand? THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. What possibly more would you need to see to understand THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Does the large print help at all? Let's try it in different colors. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Please tell me that by now you understand the original question, the meaning of the word "same" and the fact that THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

I didn't even care that you were wrong. I just wanted to make sure the OP got the correct answer but then you came up with your donkey pic (which I still need to see your face attached to). There are lots of things I don't know anything about. I own a dealership, a salvage yard, way too much automotive software, and years upon years of experience. This is my thing. I will purposely answer something wrong later so that you can correct me but let this one go.

Does a 2004+ TL have the same shift **** thread size as a 350? If so how much for a shiftknob? Dealer wants $74 bucks for the TL shift ****.

Also, try to not sit on the shift ****. They last longer that way.

So does that mean you have no idea the TL VS 350Z specs? sounds like the older TL shift ***** are smaller like the hondas. I'm hoping the newer style TL shift **** fits the Z it would make for a great Zknob.

TK2005, I'm sorry, but you need serious help. You got so lost in the miniscule that you miss the point.
What bothers me about the way you handled yourself here is that this guy is asking advice about the differences between the Altima SE-R and the Z. Same engine? Performance the same? etc. Why not use your massive knowledge of all things VQ to give the guy some good advice instead of wasting his time.
