Hey guys. My name is Andrew and i'm about to purchase a 350z. I currently have a celica which is no where near a 350z. I got to testdrive about 5 different ones and fell in love with it. The exhaust sound is like no other and the appearance is far better than the sti, s2000, evo that i can easily buy. For some reason, the 350z is the hardest to get. I'm putting down 12,000 down and still getting high montly payments..lol. But with all the money i dump in the celica, i can easily get a Z. I had some questions. I have been browsing the site awhile now and searched but couldn't get a direct answer. Please help me on this.

1. Does anyone have a picture of the plenum and what does it actually do? How hard to install? It seems to have good gains from what everyone is saying.

2. I will be getting a 6 speed, might be 03,04. I know this model has the tranny problem. I was wondering, when they change out the for the new tranny, does this completly solve the problem? I know some people have gotton atleast 4 diff trannys. Are these rebuilt or new? Any true way of just getting rid of the problem?

3. Is the tire feathering problem hard to get rid of? Do you just change tires and it should go away or something? Does the dealership take care all of it on the warranty?

4. Any other reliability problems on the Z that i should know of that could make or break it for me?


5. It seems the Popcharger is the cheapest intake with good gains compared to all the other intake systems for the 350z. With this, is there any bogging, slow on the lowend , or anything such as that? Usually i find with intakes on most cars, it kills daily driving, good only when redlining for street racing (which i don't do at all), and makes cool sounds. I just want somethign that gives me gains without making the car seem slower since i don't do any street racing. I do drive hard from time to time when i'm in a good mood. But not sure if this is for me.

6. last question, thanks for being patient with me. Any mods that make the steering wheel shake on the Z? Such as 19's, lowering springs, things like that? I know this has to do with balancing, but i rather ask to be safe.

Thanks guys. Hope some of you can help me. I attached a couple pics of my car. Please be nice. All i really have is expensive custom paintjob and 2 piece Ro_Ja wheels. It's good enough for that slow fwd car.

Concerning your questions about modifications, lets be patient and wait until after you get a 350Z.

 

Well, i've seen that sheet. But those questions are what helps me getting the 350z. Anyone else?
