It looks pretty good, a few rock chips in the paint, engine is sound, nothing leaking. Most of the problems are cosmetic:
1.Small dent and small patch of missing paint on the passenger rear quarterpanel w/a chip out of the brake light cover.
2.The speaker in the passenger side door is blown.
3.The passenger window motor does not usually work.
4.The speakers behing the headrests are non-functional, but after reading these boards, I may know why. I'll just have to decide whether to just replace the front speakers or do all of them.
5.The antenna is broken off at the base. I read a few threads about this problem, will have to figure out how to get it out.
6.The damn hatch wont stay up, which drives me nuts.
I posted a pic on the new member section.

There's a thread in the Maintenance section that shows you how to repair a dying window motor. If you are ok with soldering, then it's great. Might as well do it at the same time you do your speaker since the door panel has to come off.
Anyway, '03 Z here with 124k miles. I've only owned it since June '12, and I've had to fix the driver side window motor (passenger is dying), rear speakers don't work (no surprise), had to replace trunk struts, and driver side valve cover. All those are normal things, of course, but what really annoyed me was I had the clutch fork pivot ball break on me. I'm mechanically inclined, but dropping the trans. is a big job. Swallowed my pride and had Nissan do it. $6 part
