Just picked it up today.

Black Touring model with everything but the nav system.

I am coming from a tricked out 1996 Mustang GT. I thought that car handled......NO WAY.

This 350z is truly an amazing sports car. I am still in awe of it.

My Mustang guys are flaming me of course...but they no not the wonder of the Z.

Oh I would like to add and ask....I went for a 2003 model they had in inventory...it was just too good a deal to pass on versus the 2004. I have heard the 2003 has it's bugs....what should I look out for?

 

WTTC.

I have an 03 and have not had any problems. but the most popular problem is the tire feathering.
whether you run into problems or not really depends on your build date and of course your luck!!
btw, congrats on the z!!

 

Congrats....

 

Congrats, break her in well.

 

Late 03' models should have less problems than the early 03's

CONGRATS! and welcome to the club!

 

good things too know:

1) Tow Hook: The 350Z has a new removable tow hook. It's stored in the trunk adjacent to the jack tools. The hook screws into the front bumper, behind the license plate, which first must be removed. Use this tow hook for vehicle recovery (freeing a stuck vehicle). Please refer to your 350Z's Owner's Manual for complete towing instructions.

2) Automatic Transmission Service: You will find that you cannot loosen the transmission fluid level dipstick or locate the dipstick handle (there isn't one). That's because the new dipstick is bolted in place and should be serviced only at the dealership. Attempting to change or service the fluid on your own could potentially damage the transmission.
3) Automatic Transmission Fluid: Another reason to have your transmission serviced at the dealership is the special automatic transmission fluid that is required (Nissan Matic-J A/T fluid). Using other Nissan or commercially available fluids may cause damage to the transmission that will not be covered by the limited warranty.
4) Inside Door Reflector: The inside door panel of the 350Z features a red oval-shaped plastic lens reflector instead of a light. Unknowing 350Z owners may assume that the lens reflector is covering a light, and wonder why the light bulb isn't working.
5) Passenger Seat Belt Clips: When the passenger seat is unoccupied, you may hear a seat belt rattle. Use the seat belt clip located near the B-pillar to keep the seat belt in place, thus eliminating the noise.
6) Low Ground Clearance: First-time sport car owners may not be aware the sports cars have low ground clearance. Therefore, special care should be taken when driving over speed bumps, dips in the road, or driveways.
7) Fuel Requirement: Premium unleaded fuel is required for optimum power performance.
For more information on all these features, see the 350Z Owner's Manual.

 

Congrats and enjoy!

 

Also, do not park close to curbs. Keep plenty of clearance on each side, to the front, and to the rear. If you don't, you will scrape a wheel, bugger up the nose, or damage the pipes. Stay well clear of everything when parking.

Also, be careful backing due to the limited visibility.

Congrats on your new car.
