Default New 350Z

I just purchased a new 2003 350z enthusaist edition and I am loving it. I got a great price of 18,000 and it only has 19,000 miles. Is there anything I need to do right away when I take it to the Nissan dealership, im not sure if any of the recalls have been done. Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the forums. I see you are in the WMA area. Be sure to check the Mid-atlantic region for events and stuff. Well, the issues with 03 and 04 cars are the tire feathering and tranny issues. Its not always the case since there are members here who have had no major issues. You are still under the warranty period, so maybe a checkup wouldn't hurt. Ask the previous owner about all the past issues and service documents. Ask when the last oil change was done incase you should do one right away. Hmm...what else can I suggest.....well beats me. What color and transmission you got? Not that it matters...lol.

People put all kinds of better tires than our stock potenzas. I see some with BFGs, but I don't know which type specifically. Check out the tires subsection and if that doesn't help try using search for "AEM tires". I'd give you more info, but I am not tire expert as of now. hehe..sorry! Black and 6 speed..nice! See ya around.

Congrats!
Make sure to take it in for the fuel line recall on the 03s.

Congratulations. I’m happy that you ignored the myth that the 2003 is a dog and will self-destruct in 30,000 miles. As you mentioned, its a great car.

BTW why are you taking it to Nissan. Is anything broken?
