window motors were the only things replaced under warranty with my 03 6sp since new...you've got nothing to worry about. Good luck bro.

 

I am pretty sure his question has been answered but I will reitterate. I recently purchased my '05 fairlady and before doing so I did a LOT of reading on this board. Funny how I found all the info that you are looking for which influenced my purchase HEAVILY. The 2003's and up through 2004 1/2 have lots of issues with tire feathering. Some have been able to fix the problem with alignment, some have not. Tires are expensive to replace every few thousand miles.... Then there are the tranny issues, this was a nissan covered problem and if this car has 49k miles on it then it is maybe ok. Test drive it and do some shifting at high rpm and if it grinds, then it has issues and needs the updated tranny (this of coarse pending you can drive a MT). Window motors are a minor annoyance on most years. Starting in 2006 with the updated VQ some burn oil like crazy. It is a general consensus that 2005 and 2007 are the most trouble free years/editions of the fairlady. AGAIN, I found all this information posted in MANY MANY threads on here and those threads can offer a more in-depth explanation that I just provided. On the FD forum, if you do not utilize the search function you are flamed off the forum...

 

Oh **** "oo7arkman" you also have a 93 VR 7, I just finished my project 7 and therefore bought a Z as another project/DD. How's that 500R turbo working for you...... Sorry, didnt mean to steal this thread.....

 

I just finished the install on the 500r. Right now the car is at Gotham being tuned by Steve. Hopefully I will get the car back next week. Yeah my Z is my DD. I have been told to leave it alone... hahahahaa.. Though I REALLY would like to TT it.

 

u have alot of choices with 22k

 

I know what you mean.... I use to have the BNR's stage 3 twins turbos and wanted more power so I went with the Greddy t88 but than the 500R came out and I really like that turbo And Steave is a GREAT tuner Im sure you know. Good luke with your 7!!!

P.S. Im going to be TT my Z with the Greddy setup, I cant stand N/A.... FI ALL THE WAY...lol

 

I think I found the car, gonna be under 16K 50+K miles 03 6spd, and TN turbo kit with their new awesome coverage plan. maybe i will have it next week.

 

If I am reading that post correctly you are saying you found a 2003 tt 350z fot inder 16K?? Something sounds fishy there. But good luck finding a z.

 

i wish it would be that cheap. I will probably get it next week. and boost it. gonna spend under 22K!

Happy New year!

 

some had a factory recall (by vin #) mine was one of htem, I didnt get a factory recall for the tranny but I did get a recall notice for the gas tank and the fuel lines.

 

Ok I see. Maybe it is just my experience changing turbo setups on a car but it is unlikely you will be able to buy the car, and boost it for under your $22k goal.. There are lots of other associated fees, misc. costs and suppourting mods that need to be added along with whatever FI kit (sc or tt) that you choose. Not to mention a good tune will cost you as well.

Good luck with the car. I would love to see pics later...

 

lets just say i got a major hook up. in regards to the reflash, there is no tune there. but if i pick up a emanage, do any of you experience relearning issues with the ecu

Congratulations.

 

^and thats not all...

 

all years have issues. If you want the best get a 03/04/05 non-rev up that already had the new 009 transmission part number put in.

Or the 05/06 Rev-Up that had the new v2 rev-up engine put in. Hard to find, but if the owner has paperwork and reciepts with the part numbers you're good to go. The guy I bought mine from had all the paperwork showing he had a brand new 009 transmission put in and new clutch from Nissan under warranty, so I bought his.

I personally never buy used cars without a full service history.

The tires feathering is a non-issue unless you run the OEM tires nissan shipped with.
