and are there any problems with the z convertibles, i am debating leasing a new one ? is the tranny **** like in the g35 coupe?

and do the tires still feather, and are there oil consumptions problems?

i am g35 driver, switching to maybe a z?

tell me the good and bad.

 

all of your questions will be answered with a simple search. and dont lease... what the f*ck are you doing? leasing a car is like taking several hundred dollars a month and flushing them down the toilet.

 

sell your g, and buy a HR Z.

 

Yes, convertibles have roll bars, they deploy when the top is up.

 

Well one thing i can tell you is that the ZR is very noisy inside. Nissan did not do a very good job at keeping the top quiet. In comparison to my 2004 325CIC the Z is horrible with wind noise. I guess having just one layer of insulation (top) isn't ideal, it also gets very hot inside very quick (even with a white car and gray seats leather seats).

Also as I found out the OEM Bose system in the ZR is very weak when you have the top down. Especially on freeway driving...but i guess that can be dealt with by some sound upgrades.

Other then that the car is extremely well built. Its got plenty of power, extremely tight handling and over all just drives well.

 

This is a very broad statement, and not true for 100% of circumstances.

 

All these problems are gone for the new HR model. I had an issue with my 04' G35 transmission also, and it was replaced at 2k miles.

 

Tire feather should have been gone by 05.
OC is on the 05 35 AEs and 06 6MTs

We have a roll hoop.

 

07+ z's > older z's. problem/recall wise.

 

07+ guys.. How do you like your roadster's? Woman is looking into one.

 

Love mine. Well built, plenty of power. If I didnt have these chrome 20s (came with the car) or the convertible, I dont know how I'd keep the back wheels planted.

Haven't figured this out in 2 years. Sad.

 

i got 06 and no prob at all =)

 

don't get anything less than a 06

 

I have an 06 as well with no problems either, but she is not a daily driver. Earlier post someone said the ZR is noisy but I disagree. I can talk on the phone with the talk down at highway/interstate speeds. As for engine and exhaust noise the ZR is perfect. I have the Nismo exhaust with HFC and can talk insiode the cabin to a passenger with no problems. The comments about poor sound systems is true. That I hear is easily upgraded but not my motivation. As for the heat in the cabin the air works very well. I also have never sat i any convertible that wasn't hot inside with no vertilation. I got cloth rather than leather to alleviate sitting on a skillet when getting in the car after it's been sitting in the sun. I am curious how much the aerated (sp) seats fair though under direct heat?

ZGo drive the Z top down and up. If you like the way it looks and drives, ?I don't see a lot that should keep you from getting one. On the other hand if this is a daily drive, I would pick a convertible that was not a roadster.
