i have an 03 perf z. i love it,and it is running amazingly well. for 10 g's it is highly worth it. even if the vehicle has high miles just get all the info on the previous owner/s if you can to determine how the z was treated. B4 you even buy this or any car have a local mechanic inspect it and let you know if it is even worth the buy to begin with. The rest is just common sense.

Enjoy!


Thanks for being serious.

its not that just you come in saying you have 10gs which is barely enough for the car itself. Then with 1,000$ more you want parts very difficult unless you are a highly talented DIY kind of guy.

That's what they all say. Out of respect for the moderators I will hold my comments and opinions. Now if you want to come here https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-n...zs-debate.html we can discuss it.

Since they locked your other thread (I think it had potential), I took your quote from it... here is a video that may help you with your endeavors. The guys over in the FI section put it together:

EDIT: Oh... I just pulled my Stillen Stage 3 off my car... I will sell it for $2,000.

He's right though, you can get a twin turbo for under $2k. Go buy two of the ebay kits...that'll work, right?

You people in this thread you need to read his post better because he can't have a Twin Turbo with a Cold Air Intake. He needs to go ride the Short Bus to school.

judging by his name, he is prob some skinny indian kid who thinks this car will get him good with the ladies lol.


I have no problem flaming this guy. I would appreciate it if people who buy Zs, are actual car enthusiasts. Not someone looking to impress people. Based off his initial comment, he will most likely look down on alot of the kids at his school.

PS: I drove a 95 honda accord hand me down with 260,000 kms, and it meant the world to me. Be happy with what you have, and save your money.

Yes I'm Indian but I'm not skinny

I am a car enthusiast, I might not know as much as everyone else here, but I absolutely love cars. And I don't look down upon anyone! How many times do I have to say that??

I would love to have ANY CAR. I don't have a car right now and if I have to do anything, I WALK there. So yea, I wouldn't mind getting a 95 Accord with 150,000 kms. However, if I have the money to get a nicer car, then why not? Hell I'd buy an accord and save the rest of my money, but it'd break down and cost too much for repairs than the car itself.

Just because everyone here is older than me and knows a **** load more than I do doesn't mean you should flame me. I came in respectful, and all I get is ****. And I'm still being respectful because being an *** is not something I do. All I asked is for some advice, constructive criticism works fine too, but no, you all had to flame me, and for what?? You are the ones that really need to grow up, because the path you all are walking right now is gonna give you all major problems in life.

So that's all I ask for. Some common courtesy.

Easy fuzzy little man peach.

Just because you can afford a z, it doesn't mean that you should buy one. The z is lot of car for a beginner driver like yourself. In all seriousness you should look into an early 2000's civic and save the rest of your money. Civic's are relatively cheap to buy/insure, they are really reliable, cheap to maintain/repair and they get great gas mileage. The z will cost 2-3 times more in all those areas and its just not affordable for someone your age.
