Whats up guys. In just a few days I may be picking up my first Z. It's a 2003 with 120k miles. I don't know the exact details of the car yet but i'm going to take a look at it on Sunday. The original owner was a very close family friend of mine. He passed away a few months ago at the young age of 42 due to heart complications. The car comes equipped with a few mods:

Greddy exhaust
High Flow Cats
Tein coilovers with edfc
Forgestar Wheels

Thats all I know so far. He took pretty good care of the car but i'll find out more on Sunday. Is there anything in particular I should be looking out for other than the usual things like leaks etc? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!

 

Take it to Nissan, and spend the $100-$150 to have a certifed tech assess the vehicle.

 

Any weak spots of the car? Were there any major recalls for the car?

 

The Z was never "recalled." There are technical service bulletins (TSB's) and what not, but you can find that on the NHTSA website: http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects

The 03 Z had issues with tire feathering, but it looks like the previous owner did suspension and wheel/tire mods that may have fixed that.

I suggest you enjoy the car and keep the shiny side up.

 

OP, did you ever get the car?
