Hey guys, I just bought my 2003 track edition 350z on monday night. When I was inspecting the car I noticed that it had a Nismo exhaust. Upon further inspection I noticed that it appeared to have Nismo suspension parts up front I tried to find some indication of what suspension was in back and could not. I have two questions.
1. How would I tell whether the car has a full three piece exhaust or just the Nismo muffler? Is it a very distinct difference?
2. I am assuming that the rear suspension would also have red springs if it was Nismo? And should also say Nismo like the fronts do?
Sorry I know there very noob questions but I am about to go put the car on a lift and just wondered.

Dave's got it right on the exhaust. The Nismo muffler has a totally different connection point for the mid-pipe, so the stock piece wouldn't even fit. Also, the Nismo mid-pipe has a cylindrical resonator that's polished like the muffler. The stock mid-pipe has a goofy shapped resonator that's just unfinished like the stock muffler. As far as the y-pipe, the easiest way to tell is that the stock y-pipe is covered with sheet-metal heat shields so you can't actually see most of the piping. The Nismo y-pipe has no heat shielding and is just bare piping.
The Nismo suspension has red springs and silver shocks, front and back.

Browse through the 350Z parts to get an idea of what they look like.

well I put my car up on a lift last night. I have to say that I am really happy with the results that I found. Turns out that the person who ahd the car before me treated it like it was his/her first born. Everything under the car looked great. The car already has the following list of mods:
Nismo exhaust
Nismo suspension
Nismo sway bars
Nismo front strut tower bar
now I just need a camber kit and an endless supply of money

Really? You need a camber kit? You should be able to get with in specs with the NISMO setup. You might want to take it to a good alignment shop and see if they can get it with in specs before you go and buy a camber kit.

I knew that it had the Nismo exhaust, that was kinda hard to miss. But the rest of it was a total surprise. I could not be happier with my purchase and look for to many more mods!
Next to come is the R-tune intake and headers.

I had a similar experience with my 2003 Performance z, purchased a few months ago.
The only mods that I was aware of when I purchased the car were the Axis Mod 19" and 20" rims. I later discovered a flowmaster muffler and a complete Nismo suspension.
