2003 350z 72k miles, tein adjustable coilovers, iforged 3 peice 19in wheels, custom box with 10in subwoofer, pioneer touchscreen deck, factory red leather. Resonator delete, tint on rear windows.

Just put royal purple max gear 75w-90 in the transmission (grinds a little into 3rd gear, maybe once out of 20 shifts, hopefully this will fix it)

So far I have put about 100 miles on her and I love this car. I used to have camaros (fbody) so I was surprised to see that alot of people are swapping their motors for ls1's, another good motor that is alot cheaper than ls1's is the lt1, they have factory aluminum heads with an iron block, they are also rated around 290 horsepower stock, with the right head and cam package they can get 450 wheels horsepower no problem, and they use the same t56 manual transmission.

I plan to take my Z to some local tracks, (I'm lucky Laguna Seca is only 45min away) I am confident this car will kick *** on the track.

Just another proud 350z owner!

p.s. my other car is a 2004 Nissan Titan

 

There was no factory red leather....

 

No ****? I like it anyway, shows how much I know

 

But it is a 350z seats but yeah it doesn't come in red. Also we don't have slotted rotor.

 

Welcome to the forum and congratz on the purchase of your 350Z.

 

The seats look fine, the wife's 04 MDX leather fronts look freaking awful, cracked to ****, I'd have to change them before we sell it. Mine are leather 06, and I get the Lexol out every 3 months.

Meanwhile, enjoy the red!

Welcome and congratz.

 

Do you use the leather cleaner or conditioner or both?

 

Four50,
It's Lexol conditioner, brown spray bottle. Best to use at night or whenever it can really soak in an not be picked up by clothes, etc. Leaves a nice soft shine.
The instructions say to buff off excess.

I don't buy cleaner bc the leather's black and won't show dirt. Cleaners can strip and dry leather. Back in the day, my dad would use "saddle soap", in the grocery where you find shoe polish.
GL

 

OK I will do that tonight once it cools down a little bit, I have some conditioner that works well. I'm going to have to take care of these seats cause I am the only one who has them apparently.

 

Welcome and congratulations!

 

Too much chrome. MY eyes burn.
