Default just bought an 04 350z

Hello I just recently bought a 350 about a month ago, it's got 45000 miles on it. I only have two problems I'm concerned about when I sit idle I hear a clicking sound from the transmission. There is also a grinding sound coming from the rear when I'm in first gear at low rpms. Um the car was practically abandoned for four years by the first owner, then the second owner put a body kit on it and maybe more, and the third owner got rid of the body kit and put all stock parts on it except for the short air intake.I can't put pictures on at the moment but later today I can.

3 of your 5 posts have been the same exact same thing. Not everyone goes F/I. Go play with your Ebay turbo.

Anyways, welcome and best of luck with your car.

Hey bro, I just bought myself an 05. Looking to put fog lights on it. I heard yellows look sick on 04's. Do you have some, because I think I'm going to. What do you think?

They look the exact same. How would they look "sick" on an '04 but not other years?

Introduce yourself and search for pics. What would even give you the idea this guy has fog lights anyway?

We have the same year car. I have about 96,000mis and I'm semi manual. I don't have any of the weird sounds. Your describing, but some times when I switch from drive to first it makes a loud thunk. I think I'm going to replace my tranny. And then I'll slap on my turbo and I'll be breaking people off.

Well first, my name is Javier nice to meet you all. I have not seen any year of the 350z besides the 04's so I was just thinking. I didn't know if he had the lights or not but I was just hoping for input. I ordered them off of eBay earlier I hope they look sick man. I was also thinking rims. Any ideas? Maybe a turbo like that SwayZe guy. I don't know. Still not sure about your problem Chris, but I'm looking into it. Ooooh and a turbo injector too.
