My biggest probolem is brake dust. I have to clean the wheels about every three days. Guess I need to get rid of the OEM pads and get some better ones.

Had it a week and 550 miles, so far no problems except they put the front license plate on. Fixed that with some arrow plugs can hardly tell it was there.

I guess there is a common problem with the 04 Z, when you push the fuel door button and the door doesn't open. It happened to me once so far.

My only issues at 600 miles are that the tranny is a little notchy in the mornings and the brake dust is very difficult to clean off. I need to Zaino my wheels and/or replace the oem pads!

I just tap the fuel button 5 times quickly!

BTW Can you believe they gave us a plastic fuel door!

I am relieved to hear so many 04 owners with no problems. It makes me feel better about getting mine.

Anyways, have any of you noticed signs of tire feathering? Do you also have the 'bounce' in your suspension?

Enjoy your Z's! I can't wait till mine arrives! :P

Thumbs up

1400 miles on my 04 Enthus. no problems except a creak found to be coming from wiring to Homelink rear mirror (fixed by moving wire) and the dreaded brake dust(removal made much easier by two coats of wax on rims).

Haha, I hear ya!

I ordered mine about two weeks before you did. I think they said it will arrive some time mid January. I can't wait but on the other hand, I need to save up as much as I can. I plan on having a year's worth of car payments always saved up just in case.

btw, nice choice of car. I got the same thing except it's PPW and I got the airbags just in case.

I wonder which one of us will get theirs first. Wanna race?

I recently posted a thread just like this one, check it out.

As for the break dust, My gunmetal Te37's will be here in a day or two! Should help hide the dust!

But yeah, no real problems, and I have yet to hear of anyone having ANY major problems at all.

I got my Volks from Jeff at Evolution Auto Sports. You should call Jeff and talk to him about the pricing, he will work you a great deal.

No one has posted any new problem on their 04 350Z. I guess that's a good thing.

Ha!ha!

Same problem. They fight on who gets to ride on the way there and on the way back. LOL!!

Default probs

The only probs I have are an occasional rattle and sometimes when I close the door, the window doesn't seal up (doesn't move up at all). It's pretty random and hard to repro.
