i am currently driving a 04 tiburon gt, with all the usual bolt on mods, an am considering getting a Z. i know ive had a number of problems with my tibby, what are some of the issues that i would expect with a Z. o and unfortunately im looking to get an AT cuz i dont want my fiance trying to drive a MT, she did in the the tib and it wasnt a pretty site.

thanks in advance

 

The issues are kinda year-dependent but typically the "big" issues are:

transmission
premature tire wear
oil consumption

The other stuff is minor. Search the site for any of the above and you can read all about them.

 

What year/mileage are you looking for?

 

well im currently lookint at an 03 with 44000 miles. the thing is im just tryin to stay at 20k or under.

and the tranny trouble, is that with the AT or the MT

 

tranny trouble is with MT.

why, are you thinking of getting AT? MT is way better despite the issues. car drives so unique, like no other MT i've drivin before.

 

well my fiance is taking, playing a factor in the tranny selection. i currently have a 6spd, i guess i just feel that there isnt that much difference in the ride to have to deal with clutch issues. and where i live 95% of the traffic is stop/go. and it just gets to be annoying

 

tiburon owners shouldnt get any help. Yes im hating

 

gimme a break i bought young and stupid, and now im attempting to get out of my mistake and hopefully not make the same one again.

 

Well honestly you are still being stupid if you let your girlfriend make this decision for you. I know what you are saying, "But we are in love and we will be together forever. Well i thought the same thing and last january i bought an 06 honda civic lx sedan automatic, except i put my feyonce on the loan with me to help build her credit. Well needless to say 4 months later she is living with some dude and then a month later im in an 06 Z but im still having to sell the civic. Just know that if shes not *****ing at you about the 6 speed its going to be something else, it always is.

 

How is the 350Z shopping coming along?

 

Oh not too good.
