Default Problem list of all '03 Zs. Help me out

Trying to make a list of common problems so I know what to look for. Most of them apply to '03s (possibly early production 03s)So far I have this:

Common 350z problems
1. Tire feathering
2. Grinding transmission
3. orange peel
4. paint chips easily
5. rattles throughout the interior
6. window streaks
7. Bose problems (touring model)
8. bumpers,mirrors, gascap and GFX usually are way off in color.
9. car pulls to right
10. Shift **** doesnt line up (think this is a TSB)
11. Gas filling problems https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=50348
12. Moisture in headlights
13. Whine when travelling between 70-80mph. Supposedly the differential

Less common problems These are problems more than 1 peron has had
1. Body panels not lining up. (do a search, several of us have this problem IE: hood, hatch etc)
2. vibration at 4500-5k RPMs
3. hatch doesnt always open
4. gas cap is misaligned
5. loud "clunk" when brakes are pressed sometimes https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=50682
6. Imperfections in bumpers https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=48692
7. excessive "clunk" noises from drivetrain
8. Loose axle nuts (related to *some* clunkiness)

that was a lot of searching. The "less common" list arent problems only I have experienced...but ones that several have Please add what you feel is necessary
