this is a longshot. but to my knowledge i don't recall any owners of base 350Zs reporting feathering. this is probably attributable to the fact that base models are fewer in number than other trim levels, but i'm still curious.

 

all 350z's have tire feathering. all have same susspension, that is the reason

 

Nope... no signs of feathering on mine and it's an '03 if that helps.

 

Mine is a base with 30k miles and no feathering.

 

Nope, but then again, I only have 1500 miles.

 

None here , only 2300 miles.

 

I just bought an 04 yesterday. What exactly is feathering?

 

No feathering 4 me. Had my car checked last week and dealer said nothing is wrong.

 

well i did use the word "longshot". and i'm not disagreeing with you, but nobody has actually confirmed that suspension is the problem... i.e. nobody with suspension upgrades has reported their problem is fixed (that i've read).

 

No feathering. I have about 3000 miles on a 2004 Z Base built in 02/04.

 

None on mine either, about 6500 miles and a build date of 3/03. The fronts are absolutely perfect still although the rear negative camber is very prominent

 

I just purchasd my Z and was concerned about the feathering. I was told by the salesman that Nissan said this in only on cars with VDC and 18" wheels. Mainly that the VDC was causing it. Anyways, I have the base model.

 

I have a base, build date 1/03, had the TSB for feathering done two months ago.

 

03 Base with almost 13K miles. had tire feathering fixed and new tires at 11K.

 

going in for the third time and third set of tires .


NCA told me if it comes back after the warranty is up they will take care of it

 

4,600 miles with 2/03 build date and no feathering. I did however get the alignment redone at 1,100 miles to correct the drifting to the right (the toe was out).

 

thanks for the responses. clears that up.
