I really want the 350Z. My brother has had some friends and his girlfriend that had trouble with Nissan transmissions. I am going to upgrade the clutch, flywheel, short shifter, etc. Because I want to go FI, preferably Twin Turbo. But, has Nissan's transmission problem/department changed???????? Every time I see a Z he says, yeah, it looks good, but the transmission sucks. I just ignore him. I will build it up. I want it to last for a while (like close to 100,000 miles). My Dad has a ('93 i think) Pathfinder. He has had two or three engines, and two transmissions. But that was '93, have they changed? I am going to get a manual. Man I really hope everyone says they have.
