Thanks!
I am trying to decide between the 350Z and the STi. I need mpg figures for cruising at 70-80. Which is the normal flow here in the valley without a CHP escort. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I figure they should get close to 30 on a steady run at that speed.
My trips are usually 150-300 mi. Other than town driving. This is the type of figures I am trying for.
thank you very much.

My Z is a 2004 6sp coup. I have had a plesent experience with my Z up untill yesterday when I heard my car make this awful noise when I was completing a stop at a red light.
Will my Z ever be ok, or am I doomed?
I bought my Z in late November of 2003, in Las Vegas NV at United Nissan. I saw my first Z at Courtesy Pontiac Zuzuki on Sahara, WHAT A BEAUTY!!! BLACK on BLACK, which is what I like, (in terms of cars) well I didn't buy the used one I opted for a new one, and I went WHITE on Black. If you live here in vegas and you've owned a black on black car before that didn't have tinted windows, you know what i'm talking about. Well, I traded in a 1995 Lexus sc300 with all the trimmings for an Enthusiast. Now I'm not so sure I made the right decision after reading these messages.
I've noticed a lot of you are previous owners of luxury/high-end cars too. Do you feel that you've been short changed or let down by the defects your car has had? I have. I guess all I can do is take my new baby to the dealer and have them fix her.
I hope to get to know all of you.
Best wishes with your Z

Strongly considering buying a 350Z roadster convertable. Have driven the Vette and looked at the Mustang Cobra. Any insights, comments appreciated on which is the best buy for the money. I know the Cobra is best bet for shear power, but quality and endurance are a question. The Vette is better overall but more money?
Bought a 2005 Roadster yesterday (10/6/04). Went with the Touring edition - Pike's Peak White, Frost leather, Navy top along with automatic with Triptonic +/- shifter. I was very sastified with the dealership (C. Thompson Nissan, Greenwood, South Carolina) and was treated professionally - very happy with "out the door" price.
I must say, this is one nice car. Interior quality has been upgraded substantially - none of that "cheapy" feel or look; materials are quite nice. Have owned a 2001 SLK, 1996 Supra, 1993 RX-7 and I must say, this ZX is my favorite. From the fit/finish to the rich good-looks, down to the pleasant growl at speed (and the unbelievable thumbs-up, questions, not to mention all of the gawkers) - hard to keep that silly grin off of my face.
I will report any quality issues, etc. to you all. In the mean time, drive on...
The pump overflow is constantly kicking the pump off, regardless of the amount of fuel in the tank. I have tried numerous "positions" of the gas nozzle - no luck. I can put in about 0.08 cents of fuel at a time and the pump will automatically shut off. I have to do this numerous times, until EVENTUALLY, I can fuel the tank normally, at full pump speed. It takes about 10 minutes to fuel up - which is frustrating or when the gas back flows out and all over the rear fender.
Has anyone else experience this. An owner of the Infinity G35 (cousin to the Z), had the same problem, which eventually went away. It is as if the bleeder valve is blocked or needs to be "broken in".
Well the GM came to me and says hey if I make you a really good deal would you buy this blk on blk 2004 350ZR ... I said depends on the deal. Bottomline he made me an offer I could not refuse, hence I am now a Z owner... I love the car and I love way oter people just get out of the way when they see you Z-ing down the road. The only mods I plan to purchase are: Stillen rear variance, either a wood grain dash kit or stainless steel, Tint my windows and a K&N cold air induction system....
Mike in Glen Burnie, MD 350ZR
Love the Z.

Fairly steady: '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c, '01 Xterra, '20 S90 T6, '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel, '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP / Rotating stock, but currently: '96 Daihatsu HiJet, '97 Alto Works, '11 Mini Cooper S
But, if you have an '03, you know the dealer will (or at least, should, and, if they don't, call nissan or find a different dealer) replace those fronts for free (althought, they will be the same crappy OEM tires).

I absolutely LOVE the 350Z Touring Model I bought in Silverstone with Orange Leather Interior which is in immaculate condition with just about 14,000 miles on it, one year old, but I'm craving to get the Roadster Convertible!!!! Went to the car show today in St. Charles, IL and it was awesome to see all of our little Z's lined up in different colors!!!!! BTWay, the tires were replaced at 11,000 miles, no problem with dealership at all-----not questions asked.
Would buy another Roadster in a minute.....just need to sell the one I have now!
Personally, I prefer the coupe. I like the added utility of the hatchback (however small that utility may be), not to mention the increased rigidity and decreased weight (if i wanted something heavier and slightly slower, I would have bought a G35).
Is yours auto or stick? (mine is stick.) I often wonder how many were produced with these colors.
If anyone is able to locate a breakdown of model/colors, please let me know.

Just exactly how can you have someone mechanically align the vehicle. Is it really that simple? Has anyone in this forum done this before? I am currently thinking about a new Z but are still not sure about this tire/alignment issue. What's the difference aligning a car using the computer vs the other method? Thank you for your help.

I think many peeps who have trouble drive the car too hard all the time. Just because it can compete (or blow away) with many of the Euro coupes doesn't mean you have to prove it everyday. I love the car and no problems. The only mod I have made is replace the cloth seats with leather, at purchase at dealer expense.
Let's all enjoy our new ride!

You made a great move buying a Z.. Yes, my car makes a popping sound when i turn the wheel hard left or right.. I am taking it in soon. But i have owned Z's for a long time and Im loyal. Nissan did a great job.. Just get your Z checked out and you'll be fine. Hey, even Mercedes has problems.
ps Did you buy your 350z for your birthday?
I like the Enthusiast and Track. I would like to add some After Market items, Exhaust, Suspension. My question is which items/brands should I be looking at to add first and would it make any sense to get a Base Trim then add my After Market goodies? Would appreciate any advice you might have to offer.

I was just in Vegas with my Silver 350 and I saw a BLACK on BLACK Z... but i doubt it was you...
I really wouldn't consider 15k a "problem."

Ever since Nissan came out with the 350z, I have wanted a Roadster in Daytona Blue and leather interior. So this is perfect for me
Is there anything I should look out for when I buy? The list is $36995. Carfax checked out fine. This seems almost too good to be true. How much should I offer for this? I am thinking 32000 best offer
Since it is a Nissan Dealer, can I trust the car to not be a lemon? It still has most of the warranty. Anything else I should watch out for? The dealer says the previous owner got pregnant.
I am a first time Z buyer and really want to enjoy my car. Any help would be appreciated!
