So ive had my car for a while, and anyone close will know all the things ive been through. I love this car and its been an amazing ride so far!
2004 Nissan 350z "enthusiast" with 104k on the clock when i purchased it.

Here is a pic from when i first got the car. *note* car hasn't changed exterior wise.




A few months after owning the car i got a Double Din installed into the dash to replace the broken OEM radio!


Within the last few months this car has put me through hell.


First i got into a slow fenderbender requiring me to get a new hood and bumper and repainted the fenders.



Not two weeks later a rod bearing connector broke and after 120k on the clock the VQ was toast.



BUT things are ok because i purchased the extended warranty from the dealer i purchased the car from and all i have to pay is a 100 dollar deductible. plus the price of a new flywheel (needed that anyways so i went with a 14lbs flywheel from JWT compared to the 27lbc the stock one weighed.


Just a waiting game till i get the Z back now

Future plans are to buy lightweight pulleys and a set of stock cats to gut and place on the car. Also a set of RPF1's to stay light

let me know how that flywheel works out for you in comparison to the stock one.

will do. BTW my buddy just bought a 06 G35 sport/navi.
compared to the Z, i can feel the weight difference. I bet the flywheel would make a huge difference for you!

lol. it definitely would. these cars are pigs. How's he liking the car? What was the total price out the door?

I think your rod bearing issue tops out the luck I had with my G since I've had it. lol

it had like 60k on the clock. after his downpayment and the warranty i think it was like 18980 financed i believe.

Wow, good call on the warranty :-O

new hood and front bumper.... and you stayed stock? killin me kid

>


yeah its stock, thats what happens when your insurance pays for the repairs..

I hope those RPF1's are because I suggested them!

Btw, saw another 350 the other day, pretty stock, with the 19" RAYS wheels the G35 gets. Oh my Zeus, that was cleaner than a surgeon's room.

partly because u said, but then i saw a bunch of pics of them on a Z, plus they are so damn light!

going on 52 days that ive been without my Z, or any car for that matter. hopefully will be back to me in the next few days

52 days!? Holy crap Scott. Whats taking so long??

Man that sucks being without

Update: got the car back today, and MY GOD did the flywheel wake up the car!
Alex and Luke: JWT flywheel is worth every penny.

500 miles or so on this new motor and flywheel/clutch. boy does that flywheel make a difference! it wakes the car up and gain a lot on the topend! to any VQ35DE owners, the JWT flywheel is a MUST!
