Hey guys! If you're curious of my thoughts on the car three years after owning click on the link here: czcams.com/video/sozfW5reN84/video.html&lc=z23zyzuzlmbesjeql04t1aokguxa3dmkasm4slgmqdzrbk0h00410
Thnx!!
beware of buying a 350Z! I bought mine just to drive it for one year. After one year I planned to sell it... instead I bought lowering spring, spacers and new rims... now the second year passed and again I planned to sell it.. I bought and mounted poliurythane rear frame bushings, Whiteline diff bushings and a new radio... and I know I won't sell it when the 3rd year passes. If you have more money than me you'll most likely end up mounting a turbo kit on that Z... so, you've been warned! :)
green1985 you read my mind
😭🤦🏾♂️
Ok. Still cheaper to maintain than a woman😁
I literally have been telling myself I’m only gonna keep this 08’ for a year. 😭 good look on the heads up 😆
@Lol Haha
Well not cheap cheap but much more predictable expense than a woman😐😂😂😂
owning a 350z is like sleeping with two beautiful women then waking up in the morning to find they stole your wallet
matthewkey1 bruh😂😂😂
i dont keep money in my wallet !]
I keep my money in my ASSHOLE🙈
Jokes on them, both would be disappointed haha
Do you actually own one or like your comment about 2 beautiful women you want one .
as someone who owned a Z for along time and has put A LOT of mods in it, take this advice if you're looking for a Z. if you plan on modding the crap out of it. Get an base model, 07-08 if possible. avoid rev ups if possible, because by the time you find out it burns oil, its too late, the dealer wont take it back. if you want a Z and only do a couple mods, wheels exhaust. trying to find a Z with track package. brembo brakes will handle anything you throw at it with the right pad. any other questions, just let me know.
alfred rodriguez im 18 and planning on getting a 350z as my first car, which one would you tell me to get? What year/trim and why? Thanks you!
mark elzawa 07-08 with a sport package. Keep in mind insurance will be high because u are 18. If u can't find an 07-08, get an 04-05, should be cheaper too.
I might have a tastefully modded 07 for sale shortly.
alfred rodriguez picking between a s2000 or 350z 06-up for a full track build streets of willow, roval,buttonwillow
alfred rodriguez the 350z multilink rear & strut based front is what's turning me away. It's just not as good ass the badass double wishbone front and rear in the s2k.. talk me into why the McPherson strut ain't so bad please
"nothing to worry about" huh...must of never had your shins assaulted by those doors lol
lmao
Same haha
I've never smashed my shins but I've throat punched myself on the window edge
Mortonbmx my Z held me down and deepthroat punched me🙁
I have an 08 HR Touring, and I must say everything you said was basically spot on 😂😂 great video!!
Tarik Cruz was this your first ?
yeah, also my first car that's completely my own. it's also a daily for school and work with currently 120k miles on it! Runs great, and no mechanical issues. Just a faulty sensor that tripped up my service engine light but I just ignore it lmao overall great car, only complaint is that both exterior door handles no longer work
I
Director T easy fix
I work as a delivery guy at the wok on wheels right next to you so I see your car every day. 350zs are my favorite "affordable" cars and yours is a beauty. I almost bought one about a year ago but instead I got an 07 Subaru legacy gt Ltd for the extra space.
You answered literally every question I had with this vid, so thanks. Plan on driving it till it dies, I wanted something that I could reasonably buy and drive to my hearts content, cause driving has always been my passion and therapy. Can’t wait
Love ur review...
Getting my 350z soon and this helps a lot and makes me feel more comfortable
I would kill a man to be able to pay $109 a month for a 350
TLW918 I pay 220 a month for a Saturn sedan 😒
TLW918 damn i have the insurance through my dad and i pay 104 a month
80$ here 😂
I pay like $209 for v6 stang and only liability fml
TLW918 try uk insurance it’s way higher
I've had my '03 Touring since 2004 (original owner) and still LOVE it. My Zed is my daily driver.
Really enjoyed your review bro. You pretty much nailed it. 350z is awesome.
I sold my 350z 1.5yr ago. I still think about that decision to sell and miss that driving experience to death. ATM I drive an audi S5 which is boring AF.. and now looking for the 2011 white 370z nismo. Nissan "Z" forever!
I'm on the same boat as you almost. I just sold my 350z and got a BMW 328i F30 and bored to death with this automatic transmission. Thinking about going back to stick with a 370z.
Awesome vid. this is pretty much on point. I just picked up tires myself, so I know the feeling. I haven't had any issues w my z besides regular maintenance. Clutch needs to be replaced and CD005 grinds but it's drive able . For those who do not know The 06 is a DE revup. Aka the first iterations of the HR heads w a DE block and slightly smaller crank ,which is why the redline is higher.
Bro thanks for this, been looking at some Zs
Love the videos man keep it up. You got a sub from me for sure. Love the Z
Hell yeah great video very informative I can't wait to get mine!! In blackngold too champ colors baby!!
Got my 350z on Tuesday! Thanks for all your reviews and videos!
How many miles you got on it now man?
@@kzsoren it's sold now unfortunately.
Thank you dude I appreciate the review
spot on review, my friend. I have an '03 Touring with 123k miles. This summer I had to replace ignition coils due to a misfire on bank 6, replaced cam position sensor due to hard start and threw a P0345 code; AC is on it's way out, but it's my daily driver and I live in TX. Even when I bought my Cayman S, I couldn't get myself to sell the Z.
Awesome Video!! Wow you taught me about the durability of the Nissan 350Z❤️🤗❤️
Good job Brother!!!!♥️
Finally a good review video that goes into detail!
Soon I'm selling my TL and hunt for an 06
get an 07-08
ayyyye!!! TL's are the best lmaoo. i had an 2008 TL (base Model) it was totaled, so now i'm stuck between a 350z or a G35.
Great video 😊 Ive had a HR for nearly 4 years. Going to do a video soon.
Holy shit this is recent! I just test drove a 2007 350z and a 2009 370z but loved the 350z better. Thanks for this video!
What made it better?
@@TEAMNHL Price, lol.
Good as always . When ppl ask me difference between the engines . The revup is a DE w HR heads and a weaker block than the DE. As for the oil consumption, that's more of an issue w the early 05-06 models. It seems you have a later model. I remember buying my first set of rear tires. Barely one in the trunk and one on the passenger's lap. Second set, I just went to pick them up in my daily driver.
Either this or an FRS are probably going to be my first big boy purchase after i finish school and get a job, glad to hear it’s as amazing as i hope it is
Great review fam~ makes me want to get one
loved the informative video man ! i was lovin it because i’m thinking of buying a 350 z as my first car until you mentioned at the end you don’t recommend it 😭😭😭
I'm following your channel now perfect video man I have a 2003 base with 66,000 miles planning on doing some mods soon
Hey did you ever end up doing those mods, how's your z now?
07'' HR Enthusiast owner. Agree w/ everything you said! subbed.
Does that one come with the Brembo brakes ?
@@TEAMNHL Only Track edition.
Thanks to this video I’m for sure buying one next week
hollowsquad
I had an 07 350z Touring that I owned for 4 years. Bought with 29k and sold with 110k. I cried the day I sold it (baby on the way). Everything you said here is so spot on and exactly what I would have said from my own experience lol. I loved my Z so much I ended up getting an 08 G35x which is basically a 4 door, AWD, luxury version on a 350z lol
Thanks for the intake noise! haha! i love it
I had twin 5 ziggen pipes on my 350 nismo , 10 yrs ago , with removable baffles , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
I'm about to do a 10 year review on mine
What's the insurance cost look like, its possibly my first car btw
@@TravisUnlimited what you mean possibly ? lmao. And depends on age, how long you driving, how clean your record is.
Definitely curious to hear your review
Now that's considered long term
TravisUnlimited im 20, been driving for about 5 years and insurence on a 2004 automatic Z would be around 160$ a month
Awesome Video! Very informative..
A car youtuber who lives in Utah! ( Not counting Stradman, met him before though) Wewt! I think I may have seen you somewhere before!
I daily a 350 and this video is spot on
great video man
never watched your videos before... subbed
My first car was an Acura Integra lol complete rust bucket. Since then I've been a truck/suv guy. I've wanted to get into sports cars for a bit now and I'm really considering the 350z to be my introduction to the sport car world.
Amazing video brother, as I understand, you were having rev up engine? Do you still recommend to buy this car? I guess you already sold the car?
You deserve more subscribers. Your content is great. I wanted to ask though. Did you change the diff or is this still the stock differential? Wondering because I didn't know it would drift without a welded diff.
Never mind I commented before I finished the video. Lol. And btw my 2012 grandsport can do everything a 350z can do an be daily driven. Arguably better in every way. But not if you consider the cost difference of course. Which is probably why I'm sitting here watching 350z videos while my vette sits in the garage. Lmao
@@brandonblackwell8932 c6 gs is indeed a better car. The z need a lot mods to wake up. However if people are on a budget I would suggest getting the 350Z due to lower cost on maintenance and consumable.
@@itchyonion3559 100% agree. It's also easier to have fun in a car that won't wreck you financially if you wreck it lol
I have an 03 and I love it. Makes great torque. Gonna dave up for the plenum? And the intake.
Great video man, I appreciate it. One question though: So I'm the type of person person who would want to take this to the track and drift etc, so even though I would be drifting on the track (and burning through tires) would it make sense to buy aftermarket wheels and expensive tires to drift on at the track and then keep the stock wheels and tires for street use? Or would you recommend a different method?
Dope ass vid bro keep it up Fr
What track did you go to? Is that track here in Utah? Im debating on getting a 350z and your video helped a ton! Thanks!
I bought my 2006 350Z Enthu in November 2005. 13 years later... No oil consumption problems. I do baby it... I have 73,512 miles on it as of right now 11/12/18. Ask me about anything on it. Here's the catch 22... my only mods are a Nismo sways, painted my stock 18" rims gunmetal grey, JWT short ram intake, Nismo mats and an S2000 antennae.
What are these 6 spoke wheels you have on the car? Looks good! Do you have a build forum post anywhere?
Great vid thx. Plan to get an 08
I've had a 2007 HR GT for a little over 3 years now...put 14,000 km on it so far (It's not my daily), and I absolutely adore the way it drives. Best sports car on the market for the money, hands down. If you're thinking about a 350Z...just do it. You'll be happy with your decision.
I use to own a 350z and absolutely loved it. Now I own a 370z Nismo and also love it.
Exhaust sounds great!
8 years with my 05 G coupe i love it
Good video, I was in between and 350z or g35 coupe. I went with the g35 for the extra space (which I never use). And it's cheaper on insurance because of the back seats.
i’m getting my license soon and i’m in the same boat if either getting g35 or 350z , how has the g35 been? do you regret not getting a 350z
@@chrjst0per I'm actually happier I went with the g35! Insurance is cheaper because it has backseats, the base model g35 is cheaper than a fully optioned out 350z but has all of the same features like leather seats, Bluetooth calling, heated seats, bose audio, 6 disc cd player and a sunroof. You really can't go wrong with the g35, its a little heavier and not as balanced as the 350z but other than that they're basically the same car.
Sean thanks a lot, your feed back helps a lot man!! any suggestions what year to get and how many miles the g35 can last bc i’ve seen a lot range from 90k miles and some having around 190k-200k miles but idk if i should go with the lowest miles i can get or if it doesn’t matter?
@@chrjst0per you're welcome, I hope you find something you like. Each year has their pros and cons, they're all pretty solid motors. 200,000+ miles are commonly seen with these vq's. The 07-08 Z/G are what I would recommend but typically cost the most. These years they came with the vq35hr engine, which is considered to be the best of the vq35 series engine. Although some of them suffered from the oil gallery gasket failure. I'd assume most of them have been replaced by now but its definitely worth asking about if you go that route. The 05-06's suffer from oil consumption and timing chain guides, but they upgraded the transmission to the desirable cd009. They also upgraded the vq35de to the vq35de "rev up." As long as you stay on schedule with your oil changes you should be fine. I have a 06 g35 with 205,xxx miles on it and I have zero issues out of it. Lastly the 03-04 are typically the cheapest, i have heard they burn less oil compared to the rev up but oil levels should still be monitored. This year z and g are notorious for 2nd and 3rd gear going bad in the manual transmissions so be aware. Well I hope this helps, good luck.
Your talking directly to me, getting a Z foSho
Dope video!
GREAT VIDEO !
THANKS !
Buying my 350z tomorrow I cant wait!
SJW Removal Inc how is the z doing bro
Tell that to freshkicks about it not being a power house
Hey, had a couple questions and a request for you.
1) In a bone stock 350z, how loud is the cabin noise for a Dailey driver? Will it give me a headache? Is the cabin as silent as civic's/camry's?
2) Could you possible talk a little about or make a video/list of the things to check when buying a used 350z from a local buy or dealer?
3) Does the
You did good man, props! I love my 04 Enthusiast, she's bone stock, might be boring for some out there but I have absolutely NO issues with it whatsoever, at 96,663 miles, I bought it with 84,056 miles 3 years ago and you are right, I don't have any notions of letting her go😎
Dusty Bryant thanks man! Is that you're supra in the profile picture?
BESIM X CARS Yessir, I recently bought her, 4 months ago, flew out to California and bought it off an individual, its... not perfect but part of my collection, 95 N/A S.E auto but will be upgraded. Good eye man😉
Oh hell yea, im jealous haha. Did you post a picture of your Supra and 350Z on the 350z facebook page?
BESIM X CARS Sorry, no I'm no longer on FB I haven't been on there since early part of 2014, the 350z is down here in Houston where I work, the Supra is back in West Texas, that car is currently black but whoever painted it previously did a shit job but it is going to get the rare Anthracite 1A1 Color, twin turbo 2jz and 3.76 rear end. You can have one too just have to talk to people. The previous owner wanted 20k origionally, I talked him down to 16k probably could have gone cheaper but considering what it is I figured it was fair. look on craigslist in the major cities and you will see how I got mine. be advised, parts are expensive as hell and not easy to to come by.
Dusty Bryant dayyyuuumm bro, someone selling an ‘08 350Z Enthusiast with 80k for $11000. How’s your car holdin up ?? Any issues? Has it been reliable ?
subscribed. from a dude from Utah to another one. :-) #teamNissan, I have a G37 also
Ur lucky bro I bought an 05 g35 coupe six speed five years ago and had to put ton of money in it b4 it was good to go. Clutch, flywheel,oil pan, radiator, thermostat,crankshaft sensor, brakes, rotors.
Nice Z! What kind of wheels and tires you using? And what size? If you don’t mind me asking...
My first car was a 1998 Mitsubishi eclipse , but the timing went off so bought a nice 01 mustang. I'm planning on buying one of around 180,000 miles on the car how long do these cars truly last and it is a manual the one I'm looking at so do you think I'll need to change the clutch ?
this was my first car... 06 as well. Bought it when I was 18.
Oil issue?
How'd it feel to daily drive a fast car like this for your first car?
Am asking cause I might potentially buy one too and I'm still a relatively new driver
@@TheFrostedNinjaXD dont do it if ur new driver
Knew his car was familiar! 801 fam! I died with your comment about the roads !
I want this car because i think they look cool, can modify it, decent gas mileage. And most importantly i like how there's only one passenger seat. I absolutely hate driving people around. Pretty sure ill be buying this car later in the year.
I just got a 2005 Z touring 210,500 one owner had it one month redone the cam position sensor long with 02.. drive just like new one
Hey man I live in utah and I'm 18 and in college would you recommend this car for someone like me I can afford to buy it but would not be able to put lots of money into fixing it if it had problems and I'm looking at 350Z with around 110000 miles so would that be reliable? And how are they in the snow?
And I thought 100k on my stock clutch was high Lol! Great vid broh
Im doing 170k kilometers (which is more than 100 miles) on my stock clutch (2004 model) still my clutch feels super healthy. :) ROCK SOLID car.
Also the same Stock battery... stock everything. Only replaced tires, spark plugs, oil, brakes, filters....not much more.
Nice review! Good one...
i have been thinking about one of these for years. im sold
My father has to check oil every 2 weeks on his E46 330Ci, if it isn't as oil hungry as the BMW I'm okay with it 😂 I just want to own one! Even if it is for short term, and if it really turns out as a reliable one I will buy one. Which one is the most recommended from the 280, 300 and 313 HP versions? Is DE or HR better? I don't have plans on making mods except for a possible Nismo exhaust but just about it, nothing flamboyant.
Well done review. I have an '06 too.
Oil issue?
I changed to non synthetic when i first got the z, because i thought that was why i was burning oil but now when i found out about the pvc valve. i switch back to synthetic and i'm thinking of doing something with the pvc valve.
Is it a bad idea for me to buy one? I'll be 19-20 y/o by the time I can get one, but I've been driving a 328i for a few years with only 1 accident (hydroplane). Just want some opinions
I have my 06 350z for 14 yearsand 180k miles and still runs like new and no problems so far
Damn.
First things first, rev up is not the best 350z motor, HR is far superior and not just in power. 2nd, the maintenance is not even close to a Toyota Corolla lol, don’t tell people that.
3rd, long tube cold air intakes, which are hard to run on DE motors due to the placement, make much better power than the stock airboxes. (Up to 10whp+)
Megan racing is low quality product, not that you should’ve gotten a Tomei but definitely not Megan racing.
I’m really not one to pick videos apart, and I absolutely love 350z’s, but I just wanted you to know what’s what I’m not talking shit.
Thanks for the upload, I hope you still own and love your 350z.
Where’d you get your dash insert? It’s like an alcantera type of material
That dash is super dope.
Super cool car bro! I'm jealous.
Any tips for looking for a good 350? What should I expect for buying a used? Thanks 🙏
Great sports car for Average Joe solid drivetrain tried intrude I have three hundred forty thousand miles on mine and still runs like a top with routine maintenance
I've owned mine for maybe a couple of years now. I own a 2004 touring, can't say I've had any issues yet with mine apart for some bushes needing replacing and the typical airbag light and shitty cam sensors. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.
Do u still have it ?
I read that the 2006 auto is different DE engine then the 2006 manual, has more power ?
I spend 8000 on my z. New rohana rims ,clutch, front light, carbon fiber spoiler. And new paint ,, i am in love with my 350 z
Apr .p p y not a wrap
Icy PmP wraps are for bitch boys that can’t make decisions.
Is 2006 350z with 87,000 miles bad??? I currently have a 2005 rx8 Shinka... I’m debating whether I should trade it? Any tips could help a lot!
Great video
What's is your wheel and tire set up, I want to stay with 18's but wider, with a meaty tire
Im 18 with a clean record. just basic insurance costed me $200 a month on an RSX... welcome to Vancouver BC.
Im thinking of getting a 03 as my first car. Godd choice or nah? I can only afford a 03-04
Do you still have it? Any problems ? I have BMW Z4 with m54b25 but i'm considering buying 350z
I'm 16 and own the 03 model it's quick don't get me wrong but it could be faster I've had it about a year never had any issues and in a couple years I will prolly be getting mid weight street bike maybe if I tried the Daytona 675r
Good review
Good video!
Hey @BESIM X CARS how are you liking your TEIN Coilovers?
You have a lot of videos featuring the 350Z after the install... I don't know which one to watch for a review lol.
I haven't made a review yet, I will be doing so soon now that I have some miles on them and more seat time
Daily drive my 350Z for 9 years now. Almost zero service done, minimal repair cost, never broken down. Bullet proof car. The road noise from Erick f above 50 has left me deaf though.
Does everyone still use 5w-30 synthetic ? Or do people people use 0w-40? Or other types?
I swear my next daily is gonna be a 350
I have a 2004 350Z, 118900 miles, rounded up, my daily, I love it.
I have a 2003 with 120k miles!!😊
@@wreckemtech165 thinking about buyin an 03 it has 160k miles on but the price is decent. I havnt had my own car in 4 years.
How does it do on gas?
