Default Hey, new to the 350Z crowd

Hey guys,

I am in the process of selling my 2000 Mustang GT. I have grown tired of it's clunky drivetrain and rocky suspension. I am looking to buy a 350Z. I just want to test all your knowledge a little bit! I am entering an entirely different world here, so I am a little lost as to all the performance parts in the 350Z community.

I am currently looking through the market for a 350Z. I want one in this color! What specific color is this? Dark grey?



What aftermarket body parts does this 350Z have on it? I am looking to make my new 350Z look very similar if not the same as this one!!

it looks like it's carbon silver. and it has nismo sides and rear..not sure about the front...but it looks like it's just a lip, and not the full nismo bumper.

Not certain. The 350Z has several "silver" colors. I would have to look at the paint code.

You can add Nismo front lip, blitz spoiler, S2k antenna, and Volk SF-Challenges.

Wow, I looked up these parts and you're spot on!

I guess this thing isn't even really modded on the outside all that much, yet looks very good!!

So can you guys tell me what problems plague these cars? I know like for Mustangs it was suspension, intake manifold cracking at 75,000 miles, and a few other things

Doubt it. We never complain about the 350Z.

Let's try to help the OP out...

-2007's have a recall on the clutch slave cylinder (which Nissan fixes for free).
-07-08's also have a recall on the passenger side airbag sensor.
-Some 2006's have oil consumption problems.
-I believe the earliest years 03-04 had tire feathering issues.
-Some years (I don't remember which exact ones) had transmission issues.

Just search the forum a bit and you'll find all the info you need.
