Gallery gaskets: DON'T replace the failed ones with NISSAN original spares. Instead use the excellent metal composite aftermarket replacements.

I've had a 350z hardtop and still have a 06 convertible. One neat thing that few people know about because they don't read the owners manual is: In hot weather you push and hold the unlock button and the side windows will go down so you can air out the car before you get into the car. Perhaps not a problem in Scotland, but a cool thing in Kansas City or Florida

I've owned a 1986 300zx, 2005 350z, 2007 350z, and 2015 370z. I enjoyed them a ton. The 370z was the best performer out of the bunch, but the 350z HR wasn't far behind. The HR engine was a nice upgrade from the DE/rev-up.

One very simple and cheap mod you can do to wake up a DE engine is to install an intake plenum spacer. The stock intake plenum slopes down towards the front cylinders and they get air-starved at high RPMs. By adding a spacer (basically a thick gasket) to the intake plenum, the problem is solved.

I have a DE and am happy with it, plenty of power for me.

I’ve had two 350z roadsters. Never a problem with either one. They are great cars and so much fun to drive!

Lovely video thanks for sharing and what an example to present with.

Also worth a mention:
- Tailgate struts can be weak.
- Oil pressure sensor known to give way.
- Cam position sensors.
- Differential liquid filled bush common for failing.
- BOSE sub woofer amp resistor failing.

I appreciate the insights on what to look at while I check out an 09 later today. I've always wanted a 350z, and if all goes well, I'll be an extremely proud owner.

I’ve literally had and resolved every single problem you mentioned apart from a bit of wheel arch rust which I need to get done.

I’ve had my car for nine years now and I’ve loved every minute of it. I think it’s a lot of car for the money and I can see these going up in value in the future. I’m certainly going to be holding onto mine. It’s Garaged now and used as a fun car, but it was my daily for about six years. They drink like a fish so factor that in

Awsome machines i feel like a pilot when i sit in them :) Currently have a 350z Gt4 (revup) and apart from a half small cup of oil every other week its been good to me and would harldy call that much maintenance. I prefer it over my older 350z 04 which was fantastic too but actually used the same oil so i havent noticed any differance personally. No smoke out of either.

My advice would be to keep checking what's under the hood because over time, my 350z rocker valve covers were wearing out and I had to replace the valve covers and spark plugs and coils. Also keep a look out on the weatherstripping on the passenger side as they tend to leak. Other than that, it's a lovely car to drive and own.

i just hate how you can't see over the bonnet from the drivers seat, otherwise nice solid car to drive, a lot safer than people make it out to be

[scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Great little buyers guide, always liked the 350z.

[Michael-crrn]

I did have an 03 350z, second part of the split year is a great car...I still have my 07 nismo

[jasonbletzinger]

As a former owner, this is pretty spot on!
Great video.

Could you guys please make a buyers guide on a mazda 6 MPS? Really interested in that one but heard it has some rod and vvt problems. Thanks and good job!

[OddBawZ]

00:07 - At least if the owner flips it he can eat his dinner off it WTF! The parts list on this thing must be mental!

[TheCinderellaman]

That's nismo rs is no joke. They are around £30k. Very rare and special plus I'm pretty sure these are around 350bhp

[wandering-loner]

Dont avoid if you want a v6 thats fun buy it from personal experience and since its my first car im loving it

[lucienscarlet]

Great vid and the accent totally reminds me of Trainspotting:)
