Just bought a 2003 350z with 106,000 miles on it
So I just bought this car. Its a 2003 with 106,000 miles on it. It seems like its in really good condition. The struts feel new. It feels like it used to have more power. I don't know what kind of matinence has been done to it. Given that, what should I be looking to do to regain some of the power?

O.K.--What comparison are you using that tells you your car should have more power?
Have you driven another Z?
First,check/change the air filter(maybe drop in a K&N).You may want to put in some fuel additive/injector cleaner.Or,possibly a product like SEAFOAM or STABIL to get any potential moisture out of the fuel.Oil change of course.See what that does...maybe pull a plug and look at the condition.Since you have no records,who knows,plugs may have been changed.While your under the hood,check the belts.Any signs of wear,cracking etc,
replace e'm.

Thanks everyone. I put a bottle of injector cleaner in. I have another one for the next tank. Tomorrow I'll pull the plugs. I want to change the tranny fluids but its really cold right now. I have trouble shifting into low gears if the wheels are still spinning even when the clutch is pressed all the way in. Thats not normal right? Also is it common for the weather stripping to go on these cars? I can hear some air blowing in somewhere.
