New to the forum, 35th Anniversary Edition, Black Automatic
Hi Guys, I am new to the website and forum.
I acquired a 2005 35th AE in Ultra Black about a year ago. It had 116K, the dealer did not know what he had and I stole it for $12.5, I have had allot of work done on it over the last year, (so, less of a deal than I thought) new rotors & pads, shocks, tires, new valve cover, new oil pressor sensor, new radiator and fan assembly, K&N Air filter, the plastic nose had allot of road abuse but looks sweet as hell with the factory bra, nose guard I put on it. it's near perfect now, and I freakin' LOVE IT! Its a fantastic drive!
As I understand that only 259 were made in back... Does anyone know how may of those were automatics with the semi-automatic shifty thing? It's a rare car.
I am an amputee (left foot and ankle) from a motorcycle accident in 2001, so I actually am thrilled to have the automatic with the manual shift mode, which i use pretty often, especially for downshifting. I work as a music composer for network television and truly appreciate the Bose 7 Speaker set up for pleasure and checking my own mixes. The car had an Alpine deck wit Aux input for my phone when I bought it and it sounds freakin' killer. No Nav. package which is fine with me since rely on my phone and siri anyway. It has the 35th AV floor mats, and all the appropriate features and trim including the back with tan heated leather seats. knock on wood... the engine and transmission are in excellent condition. Nicest most fun car I have EVER OWNED! Midlife crisis accomplished! I'm single and have no kids, so the car made perfect sense to me. lol

Mods:

I plan on doing good and few more things but nothing major. Engine runs fantastic and until I need a rebuild I won't over modify it.
JWT HD clutch kit and lightweight flywheel.
Problems:
Not much to speak of. Had heard that oil consumption is a big issue with the DE rev up motor but mine consumes very little. About a half quart for my first 3k of ownership.
That's all I can think of for now. Nice thread. Can't believe there were only 5000 made. I love mine!!!
Nice ride. Maybe I'm nuts but I thought Silverstone was the darker grey, and that the silver Z's were either coded chrome silver (2003-05) and silver alloy (2006-09).

Good catch there drozzy. The previous owner either did it himself or paid someone to overspray with a brighter silver and matte finish. It will be restored to the original Silverstone. I can see the orignal color in the door jams. There is also shots of overspray all around the car.
I posted this in August, some how it never worked. Nice to see theres still a bunch out there in great shape

Car has been stored under a waterproof Nissan 350z cover from the dealer ship in a climate controlled garage it’s entire life until I purchased January 2022. Original tires were put on for sale. I have since put rears on. Wiper arms had been removed and car was never driven in rain. Wheels off detail after every drive. I bought from an older retired guy that had purchased it from his brother in law who ordered new. I purchased it with 19,088 miles and have been across the country twice. Still has new car smell even. I love driving it. PICTURES:
