I am looking for my first Z and would just like to here some comments on which one to buy. I am going to race this car at Miller Motorsports Park and SCCA events. So does that automatically point to the Track ed? If so what year is the best 03-04 weighs 3197 w/287 hp, 05-06 weighs 3339 w/300 hp. I know the Track, Performance, and 35th all have Brembos, is there any differences between them performance wise? I have read alot of threads on this forum and it seems like everyone is awesome and jumps at the chance to help people out. Thank you for listening.

 

Welcome. Complete specifications for each year and each model can be found here: http://www.nissanhelp.com/.

 

05 Track model weighs 3225lbs

 

thanks for the help

 

Buy an 07 Grand Touring, new VQ35HR Brembos Volks and Leather and Bose... Bose makes you go faster too

 

03-04 Track Model, lighter weight and easy to bring the HP to the level of the newer Z's. Also, you can get one with less out-of-pocket which you can put towards upgrades. But do your homework on the previous owner and maintenance records. Good luck....

 

I found a 2003 Track 6 speed for $22k

 

How many miles?

 

Interested in a Twin Turbo for around $28K?

 

I just called on it to find out the miles and they sold it. That was the only Track ed I found on autotrader.

 

How are the turbos goinig to handle 120 degree track temp and 20-30 laps at Miller Motorsports Park. I have never have owned a turbo car, all have been N/A.

 

They'll be fine, but you'll need a bigger rad. Many track their TT's. PM me if you're interested.

 

Happy Z hunting, it's a fun quest.

Worry later!

 

i have a couple questions. i have read that only the 07 model has come with the VQ35HR motor. is this true and is it worth getting just for that or can i take an older model and easily get it up to par with newer models Zs? because i have found a couple good 04 and 05 with about 45000 miles on them for about 19 to 20K. i will be using it as a daily but really only driving it 3 times a week. i will be taking it to a road track a bunch and then really getting into drifting. i plan to start modding soon. the problem is im a motorcylce track racer and dont know much about cars but i have driven a friends rx8 and a wrx and im fast in both. so who can help me out.

 

well think about it the stock 03-06 whp is around 225-230 around the 07 is around 260-270 around give or take. for you to gain that your going to be looking at 35-40 whp gain which is a bit unless you go FI or do a bit of N/A improvements
