So Im thinking about picking up this 03 white track 350z. My only concern is since its the first model year for the car should I expect any issues, or is there reason why I shouldnt buy an 03 at all?
Thanks in advance

 

there's a few. search is your friend.

 

well i read about the grease on the windows and the tire feathering and a few other things...My question is, the tire feathering is this found with every 03 and 04 or just a select number? Thanks

 

i have an 03 track. No tire feathering but i have snail trail on the window. also, watch out for rear axle joint clunking...mine is still under warranty so i had my issues fixed.

 

'O4 Touring Coupe: NO feathering; 13k when bought; $2O,5OO!; FLAWLESS
AT!!! Squeezing two weeks out of a tankful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck!

 

umm, he asked about a 03 not an 04

 

well i guess 03 and up...I thought it was mostly with the 03s and 04s but I guess even some of the newer ones have this issue...I guess I have to just check for it tomorrow when i go to the stealership

 

Does anybody know if changing to either aftermarket springs, shocks, struts, or a combination of those will fix the feathering?

 

To be safe...stay away from the '03's!

 

If you are anxious about a 2003 then get a 2004.

 

Well if its just the streaks on the window and the tire feathering issue (which according to some is fixable) I should be fine right? Of course the 04s seem to have the feathering issue regardless. But I will check for the feathering tomorrow and if its an issue with the car Im looking at, I probably wont buy the car. But even so whats with the 04 love? Is there anything else I should know about?

 

I have a 2003 Track and no feathering ever. It's a great car to me, as anybody else's is to them. If decent mileage than go for it. Get the maintenance history on it and be comfortable.

 

I have a 2003 touring and I had tire feathering BAD.
I dropped it, new wheels and tires and an alignment from a performance alignment shop.
Zero issues since then.
I get it aligned once a year just to be safe but annual alignments are a good idea anyway.

 

<= 04 touring, zero feathering. suspension is bone stock.

 

03 Touring 83k no tire feathering runs like a champ.

 

<-----93 track, no feathering issues but I get the grease trail

 

03 track 53k. Every car has problems IMO you just have to make sure you are willing to deal with the risks. I have the window thing, only bothers my friends. Some poeple complain about suspension but i'm replacing mine either way and if your tires rub get spacers. Every car has it's normal wear and tear depending how you drive the car. If your going to buy a 350z either buy a non rev up or buy a hr. If you are so worried about problems buy a car under warentee.

 

03' Touring here... zero problems ... although I sometimes get the grease streaks on mah windows... but thats easy to wipe off...

 

03 Track. Buy it.

It comes with Brembos. After you end up modding your car, You'll be thankful you got the track edition with Brembos.

 

amen
