Default New Z Owner

Hey guys after a long time of wanting a 350z I finally purchased one about 3 days ago. I got an 05 35th anniversary edition. Looking to hopefully hit up some meets soon in the SoCal area so if you guys know of any upcoming events I'd definitely like to attend. All and all it feels great to finally own a Z

Not sure that's a 35th. The Z emblem on the side should be bronze. What's the redline on the tach?

It definitely is redline is at 7,000 rpm. Didn't know emblem was supposed to be bronze though maybe it was replaced.

Good for you. So many sellers "upgrade" in their descriptions.

nice find. another thing that i find off (along with side markers), to me it looks like you have an 06+ bumper. the reflectors are straight up and down (unless it is the angle of the pic)

I noticed when I bought it that the bumper looked replaced. Other than that the car basically screams anniversary edition from the 7000 rpm limit to the electric heated seats, brembo brake calipers, wheels, ....etc.

That's the correct bumper, but the wheels aren't.

Use the Vin decoder tool to make sure it's a 35th. The z emblem has to have a bronze ring around. It's the only identifying marker.

Thanks, just checked its confirmed to be the anniversary edition. Also I'm looking at a lot of anniversary editions online and I don't see many with the bronze emblem.

Nice find... The wheels dont look like anniversary wheels, they look better then anniversary wheels...

If I was to guess I think they are factory G37 or 370z wheels

That emblem thing just blew my mind... Im still trying to figure out the difference.

Without the bronze emblem, this car is very likely a Track version. The Track version '05 also had the Brembo's and Rev-Up motor, but it didn't have the floor mats, emblems, or AE trim code (the VIN won't tell you). And, of course, the Track had the Rays V1 wheels, but the 35th had the Anniversary wheels. The US 35th cars never got the serail-numbered plaque behind the seats, like the 35th is all other markets. As for the value, who can say? There were only 678 US 35th cars, with 188 silverstone, 231 ultra yellow, and 259 magnetic black.
