Default Need advice

A little about me first I've been a desert truck racer and done some American muscle drag racing but I've moved from the deserts of west Texas to the cities in north central Texas. So I not gonna be racing my truck anymore and wanna try track now. So I'm looking to get a nismo 350z and I was wondering if there's any difference between say the first 100 and the last 100 models? Or what numbers should i be looking for? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

They're all good... The CSC is the only issue with them but that's not exclusive to only Nismos and a general problem with HR (07-08) equipped Z's. P

Yes they're the same... no differences in respect to the Nismo. Nismo vs non Nismo have significant chassis differences.

Thanks Flo hopefully I'll be buying my Z in the next week. Now just to find the lowest mileage one available lol. I think I have a buyer for my racing Tacoma now if I can sell my Overland 4runner too I'll be able to pay cash. Btw for those that hate kids having nismo's I'm almost 30 😁

To clarify, the CSC was recognized as an issue by Nissan for the 07 350Z's, not so much the 08's. Nissan had a TSB out for it. Although 08's have had some CSC failures. All in all, both years are solid years. If given the choice though between a 07 and 08, take the 08.

CSC is the Concentric Slave Cylinder. It's found only on the HR's and VHR's. 03 to 06 have the lever arm type.
