Hello, im looking into a 2005 350z for 5000$ but there is no transmission and bad suspension.The car is in great shape and it only has 60k miles on it so it caught my attention.I was wondering what transmission I should put in it because I have heard many options and lots about the 3rd and 4th gear grinding on certain transmissions.I have a pretty good budget on the car I just dont know what to put in it.

1.What Transmission should I put into a 2005 350z?

2.What suspension should I put on a 2005 350z.



also on the suspension I plan to make the car a daily driver so comfort is important.

 

Depending on when the car was produced, it was most likely produced with the "good" transmission, the CD009 (full PN 32010-CD009). If you are going to pick up a trans go for this one (or its successor, new PN 32010-CD00A).

Suspension is wide open. Would suggest Bilstein B12 Prokit (Bilstein B8 shocks with Eibach Prokit (sorta) springs as a bundle), cheaper than buying springs and shocks separate. You get the firm, controlled, but civil ride of the Bilsteins, with a mild lowering with the springs.

 

If I were to go with a new PN 32010-CD00A what do you recommend for cost on a used one or a used one at all?

 

Hard to say. Depends on how thrashed it is - if you can find one used. New from Z1 or Concept Z or Courtesy Parts, ~$1700 brand new. (Which, for a brand new trans, is not a bad price.)
