Not driven one of those, but planning of getting one, slightly used next month...I'm also getting FX35, so it gets down to g35 or 350z i'm planning on twin turboring it... My question is what car should perform better and be a better fun factor? What I wanna get from the car is Pure performance and alot of fun....I like 350z more and probably gonna go with it....


Have another few questions.

are 2003 350z trouble free?

What internal mods suggested for FI? Pistons Connecting rods?

thats about it for now...

 

My suggestion is get the Z but never buy the 2003 model.

 

Why not?

 

Do a search. Top right corner of the page.

 

lol, Me has an Idea

twin turbo the FX35

freaking imagine it in all of its glory


same engine, larger bay, shouldnt be that hard at all!

 

Dont get a 2003 model - Problem with Tire Feathering.
Dont get a z. (Z's are all mine)

Do search though.

 

huhmm......i dont think the 2003 is that bad of a car is it?

 

No, it's not. It can be fixed.
I think you've answered your own question. You want performance - the G35 doesn't deliver performance the way the 350Z does.
Test drive both, you'll see.

 

depends on what you want to do, I have a G35 but after getting it would like a Z, but I still like my G.

 

If your looking for the performance, go with the Z. But if you like the creature comforts, the G has the edge.

 

People blow the whole 2003 thing out of proportion. The 03s have basically the same problems as the 04s - tranny, etc. There were some very minor problems (fuel lid fitment, window streaks), etc that are easily fixed by the dealer. It's not like the 04s are feathering free.

As for G vs Z, you have to drive them and see what you want. Although they share many parts, the net result is very different. Z seems to be much faster on its feet w/less body roll...at the cost of ride quality. In terms of creature comforts, there are a few small things the touring Z gives up to the G...sunroof, steering audio controls...stuff like that.

NzZ

 

I agree. The '03s and '04s have the same problems (tranny, fethering...ect) Im willing to bet the '05s do too, but there arent enough miles on em yet to tell.

 

 

350Z sounds like what you want.

As far as what to do to the engine, check out the Forced Induction section and make a post with what your goals and plans are, we can help you over there .

 

I have had both and all I can tell you is go with what you really like , how bout them apples

Z - raw, fun, edge
G - luxury, tad slower, smooth

Now since this topic has been beaten to death like skank-a-holic, just check out the other threads and GO SEARCH

 

Go ask the same question in a g35 forum.

 

You answered your own question since you said you want more performance. Go with the Z! And people really do blow 2003's problems out of proportion, some people act like they don't run or somethin. Yes, mine did have loads of problems, but Nissan will fix them all under warranty, and I'm willing to bet that many 2004s have the same problems. Anyway, go do a search to get more opinions, there are LOADS of threads on this topic.

 

Sure are.







(Note: As much effort went into answering the question as you spent researching the answer yourself.)

The Long Answer or just read through these pages.

 

You know in g35c forum they say their cars are a little faster than 350z. lol

 

um...if they are both stock...Z>G...unless they do something else to G;
