350z

Are you looking for a 350z for sale?

Q: What’s the cheapest way to drastically improve the performance of my 350z?
I have 2003 350z and want to improve the performance!!

A: Not to sound sarcastic, but improve the driver.
Join your local SCCA chapter and attend the driving schools. Compete in Solo II.
Most drivers do not use even 50% of what a car can do. Of those that try to attain the 75% level of what a car can do nearly 90% end up wrecking a fine car because of ignorance of how a car behaves when pushed.

Q: Do you recommend a 350z for a first time buyer or what car do you suggest?
I am in my mid-20s and I am a first-time buyer for a car. I really, REALLY like the Nissan 350z. I have found a couple of 2004 350z’s that are within my budget. Do you recommend a 350z for my first purchase? If not, what other cars do you suggest? I really need your help!

A: Great car, but you have to look at your needs. 2 seat cars limit
what you can carry. Be realistic with yourself, looks aren’t
everything, will you have alot of people or any animals riding
with you? Do you shop alot? How bout winter driving, getting
in and out of a sports car all the time. Insurance costs, etc.
Otherwise its a hot car!!

Q: What is the best dual exhaust for a 2005 350z?
I want to put a dual exhaust on my 2005 350z any websites with the cheapest price?

Q: What do i need to do to keep my 350z running until it dies on me ?
I a planning on buying an 2004 350z with 46,000 miles on it. What should i do to keep it running until i have to get a new car. Please be specific and list all the basic things i need to. And long will engine last me if i do all the things i need to do on it. Like how many miles

A: There are 4 most important maintenance items in your engine and tranny (the most expensive parts of the car).

(1) engine oil (3k – 5K miles)
(2) tranny oil (30K miles)
(3) coolant (3 years)
(4) timing belt (60K miles)

Just keep those maintenance and your engine and tranny will be problem free. I have a 94 Civic with 187K miles and the engine + tranny + suspension runs like new. I get 41 MPG (doing 72 MPH). I can get even better MPG doing 55.

Good maintenance pays off.

Good Luck….

P.S. Make sure you wash and was your car once a month. The wash will take the road dirt (and salt) off. The wax will keep the sunlight UV from fading the paint job.

Q: What cold air intake would you prefer for a 350z?
I just bought a 2005 350z, and I want to start putting mods in it little by little. I also want to put in an exhaust system and upgrade my clutch, should I or no? What do you think I should start off adding to my Z?

Thanks.

A: You need a clutch upgrade only if you get something like a turbokit or something that woud add 100HP.

Best Cold Air Intake for the 350z are Nismo, Injen, and AEM.
Exhaust Systems-HKS, Injen, DC Sports, Vibrant, Nismo S-tune.

Lots of people get the X02 exhaust system, which is a cheap knock off version of the HKS Hi Power exhaust. Still adds 11 HP, but it is heavier than stock. The more expensive HKS is made out of titanium and is lighter. The X02 costs $500-600. The HKS costs $1000-2000.

You should also get Coilovers Or basic, cheaper Springs made by Stance, Eibach, or Tein.

Q: Labor cost to install a supercharger or turbocharger in a 350z?
What am I looking to pay for labor to have a supercharger or turbocharger installed in a 03 350z?

A: Supercharger install with intercooler headers oil cooler and exhaust around 22 to 24 hours Stillen parts. SO multiply by approx 100 dollars an hour keep in mind the mechanic doing the work is making only 25 dollars an hour. Don’t you think a 5 year old motor won’t like the extra power crammed into it? Stillen only recommends Supercharging fresh well running engines. Also you will want the best mechanic in the shop preforming this operation.
Turbocharging with inter cooler blow off valves either twin turbo or single turbo is full of things that can go wrong engineering wise turbos are just kits then your stuck reengineering the A/C system hoses and moving things around to fit properly. I have installed three KITS. Not one of the designs was perfected enough. So with kits you never stop paying. AND any modifications to power start with a fresh motor or rebuild for proper compression.

Q: How much horse power/mpg should I be expecting for my 350Z?
I’m planning on getting a new 2008/2009 Nissan 350Z, and I want to know if I get an air-intake system and get a dyno tune how much horse power increase should I be expecting and will it affect the mpg I can get?

A: The 350Z have standard of 306 HP
Installing DYNO tune will give you extra 10HP
and the Air-Intake will gives you approximate of 15HP more.

You will get total of 331HP at least.

Q: Is it possible to do a 350Z engine swap into a 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2 seater?
Is it possible to do a 350Z engine swap into a 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2 seater? If possible, approximately how much it cost including labor?

A: Yes it would look like it should work but it will not fit under the hood and oil pan to frame cross member. However there are some shops using the chevy LS-1 And LS-2 along with Tremec 6 speed trans good for 400 to 500 hp. 1990 300zx motor can make 300+ with cams headers and porting why would you want a 307 hp 350z motor? 1990 300zx turbos can easily make up to 500 streetable hp?

Q: how to remove tips on a 350z with x02 catback?
I’m trying to replace the tips on my 350z and they won’t move at all what can i do to remove them?

A: You’ll never get that to come off. You’re going to have to cut it off and just clamp on the new ones.

Q: What are the tire dimensions for a 350z?
I have a 2008 Nissan 350z, and I’m getting new tires and wheels. I want to upgrade to 19″ wheels and tires, so what are the normal wheel and tire dimensions if they are made for 19″ wheels, instead of 18″ wheels?
I forgot to include that I am getting new front and rear wheels and tires.

A: If you talk to Tire Rack they can tell you what will fit properly with the type of wheels you want to use. “tirerack.com” Upgrade to 19″ you may find that traction and tire life might be better with 18″ plus tires will cost less. Most of My customers like NISMO “RAYS” forged wheels with Bridgestone RE-010R super high performance summer tires Width rims size depends on what you can afford and what you want to do with the car. Nissan Engineers spent lots of time getting the car to slightly understeer into the turn and rotate with throttle induced over steer out of the turn. 2008 Z all you add is sway bars.

Q: How many seats does the 2007 Nissan 350Z have?
I’m planning on buying a 350Z but I can’t figure how many seats it has. Can anyone help me?

Thanks Everyone!

A: Should be two, if you want to buy it I suggest taking a trip to a dealer.

Q: How much can I knock off the price for a 2005 Nissan 350z?
I am looking at getting a 2005 Nissan 350z Touring Edit w/34k (not convertible) miles from a local dealer. They are listing it at $22k. How much do you think I can knock off the dealer for it? Do you think I can get around 18-19k out the door? Thanks!

A: yes you should be able to i just got a 2005 350z with 21,000 miles and it was $20,000 out the door so you should be able to

Q: Does the nissan 350z come with a spare tire?
I was doing research I couldn’t find out if the nissan 350z included a spare tire, or if it has the space for one.

A: Narrow width spare under the trunk floor. And the tools are just to the right next to the spare tire. Even on the convertable. Cars do not have to have spare tires if equipt with run flat technology and tire parssure monotoring systems. However all 2007 and up cars trucks that have tire pressure monotoring do not all have run flat tires. Optional tires on Nissan Quest minivan are run flats.
