For people wondering if this is a good first car, watch this first kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ7WfmWvbc10g68 Warning this is a long video.

[@andyflow180]

AnthonyJ350 im a newbie on cars and would like to know where to start so i can have as much knowledge as u

[@AnthonyJ350]

andyflow180 Get a service manual like Haynes for your vehicle and start reading it. Also watch the car shows on Discovery channel and the Saturday morning ones. That's what I did as a kid. And try to hang out with experienced people that work on vehicles and ask questions and understand the theory.

[@Rolilasx]

Well my friend, Imagine that in order for me to drive a 350z on Danish roads I will pay around 25-30k euros. The car itself (i want a 07-08 HR) will cost me around 15k, and the danish car registration must be one of the craziest in the world, its 100% for low end cars and 150% for more expensive cars. Think about that next time you get a little bit blue about your savings, maybe it will help you ! :D

[@DannoTheMan0]

NIce video Anthony. Informative for the people who don't know much about these cars with the various trims and options. They only thing I really want to do is upgrade to 06 headlights mostly because I like the larger projectors! Looking back I don't know what trim I would have really been looking for when I was searching for mine. When I bought mine I didn't know much about trims etc, but I knew it had a blend of all options I wanted. That was a plus, and the fact that it had such low mileage, and is in flawless condition so that was what made me pull the trigger... My 35th anniv has everything, and I love the damn thing! Most of the options I don't use much like the full electronic seats- I couldn't care if they were manual adjust, but the heated seats are nice in the winter or cooler days but even on low they get hot and mostly just use them for the first 5-10 minutes I drive it. The black and tan interior which I really liked as well that you had mentioned in the video. The color caught my eye, and was a unique combo that I liked from the start when I first saw inside. I always put a soft shirt down on the seat to prevent access wear so i don't have to worry about the metal buttons etc on my jeans. Keep up the great informative content. I always like to see what your next video featuring 350's will include!

wow this made me feel better about my Z I have the 2007 . I don't know which one the touring or grand touring. But I did notice the difference on other Z's

Thanks for mentioning about the transmissions. This explains why my 04 tends to want to grind gears at times where as my 2014 Infiniti does not. The 2800 - 3000 rpm thing is something I have noticed in my car. It shifts really smooth at those rpm's.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Glad to hear the video helps!

I bought a Blue '06 350Z Enthusiast, brand new off the showroom floor. The Nissan Dealer in Palm Beach, Florida had a Zcar Speed Shop in house. They installed an exhaust and cold air intake. Got the rare, awesome Clear stock taillights from Japan, and the aluminum front grill on it. Tuned everything. Ruff Racing Wheels went on it... Still drive it all the time.

[@johnwethekylow]

Glad you mentioned the transmission, never got a clear answer or info on that other than ATLEAST the 06-08 models have a better one. I could tell the info was atleast partially correct when i test drove an '03 which had been driven hard. He started out showing off the car in full race mode, slamming it from gear to gear but when i had a go in it to see if it was also a daily driver, it was a box of rocks. Every gear i attempted to find with less than 100% effort was just grinding. Didn't buy that car for sure. Later came across an '07 6MT Enth. and it was smooth as butter. Still only 62k on it as well. Wasn't the cheapest but it's my only car and I have fun every time i'm in it. High smiles per gallon. 1st mod will be a FULL stereo install and I'm using your GREAT videos for it. Def a subscriber now, plz keep up the good work!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Try Redline transmission fluid (Nissan Spec) shifts smoother.

[@johnwethekylow]

Thanks! Need to do that one soon actually. Is it their MT-90, it says recommended for Nissans (and most other japanese cars) but not specifically Nissan Spec

[@AnthonyJ350]

Ya I'm pretty sure that's the one. I also recommend putting in a stainless braided line with a heat shield for the clutch.

[@BESIMXCARS]

and if you own a DE you won't hear the end of it from the HR guys. But the HR guys have a lot of fun changing there clutch slave cylinder. Good video!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Ya I've been told the HR doesn't consume any oil, but I was under the impression practically all high compression motors consume some oil typically because of all the pressure in the cylinders and the cars are older now. But I have yet to confirm anything. Check the oil is definitely nice on a HR. Changing spark plugs not so much...

[@archangele1]

I have a 2004 Z and it's clutch slave failed at 124 K miles. I had all the stuff replaced when the clutch was done. Now it feels just like the clutch in my my 2014 Infiniti Q60S. The old 350Z has a LOT more bottom end torque then the Infiniti's 3.7L engine. BUt the 3.7 in the infiniti pulls harder at high RPM's.

[@Erowens98]

Honestly, the DE isn't that bad. The HR is nice to have, yeah. But you don't miss it until you have it. I've owned both, and while i wouldn't go back to the DE anymore, my DE model was a blast to drive. The HR was an incrimental improvement imo.

I have watch all your video, but it's a hard choice to do mod on my Z. My plan was just to keep it stock maybe just some rims. My Hr motor only has 34000 miles on her and i wanna keep her as low miles as she can. We'll see if i wanna do any mods later on.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Low mileage!? That's like saying you don't want to f*** your gf because you want to save her for the next guy. Drive the car and enjoy it lol. I'm just saying I did that with a car before and when I sold it I was thinking, what was the point of that? I didn't get to really enjoy it because it was in the garage all the time.

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

Fantastic info, i believe youve help me pick the right Z. The determining factor for me is going to be the 'trac' button. Vdc is no good for the track, glad i found that out before buying.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Glad the video helped!

[@HermanWillems]

Here i only see full option track versions in the EU. Like bigger Orange brembo brakes, ESP, leather seats and heating. Build in phone support(on the left side of the steering wheel with buttons and radio control) and much more. I sometimes see an imported 350z from the USA that mostly look like a stripped down. The track version also have the nicest standard rims. Forged Rays. I agree my interiors is still mint. I didnt understand why all interior of many 350z's are so fucked up.... now I know thanks. Nice video. We don't have all those different models here.

[@jordonstudio]

I bought an enthusiast with a broken motor in the leather seats and only had cruise control. I then put in manual track sets and a quick release steering wheel. defeated the purpose I guess lol

[@nnahtanhoj8545]

So I was kind of having a hard time understanding this video at some parts, could somebody maybe tell me what the key differences are between the touring and grand touring model? Like interior feature wise

[@ricoboese8084]

S - Features 18-inch alloy wheels, fabric seats, leather steering wheel, CD player stereo and climate control air-conditioning. T - Adds leather interior, electric driver’s seat and premium Bose sound system with subwoofer. ST - Adds electrically heated front seats, factory navigation and infotainment screen (Japanese maps only). Nismo - Features unique 19-inch alloy wheels, body kit, projector-style headlamps, sports exhaust, sports suspension, limited slip differential and stiffened chassis.

[@AnthonyJ350]

I think it just adds factory NAV over the other luxury features. You don't want the factory navigation, just upgrade the head unit.

[@christopherveasey2771]

I have an 03 touring 6-speed and it has a bose sound system, vdc, cloth power and heated seats, an ugly tan interior :( , and a Vlsd. No side curtains, Nav nor brembos. for those wanting to know an older model. Although the tan interiors are ugly they don't scratch like the black ones they just get dirty. Cloth seats are also known to rip on the side bolsters, such as mine. Nissan window tint is also crap so plan on getting it retinted as the tint tends to ripple and peel. 6 gear sync is the gear that mine has troubles with. good luck future Z owners

[@christopherveasey2771]

With shifting as well don't go from first to second for a good pull then throwing it in 6th. Although it takes a little extra time be easy on the synchros and row through all the gears.

[@CP-kb1du]

Advice uninstall the Bose and toss it to the curb for trash collection where it belongs , CD player does not play and the weak Subwoofer cuts in and out , invest in seat covers .....

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks! It's a Motordyne system. Details are in the previous video with a longer exhaust clip.

[@ZekeMagnum]

I really think a HR motor is worth going for. I also like the hood. Is 2007 model worth going for or should you skip it since it is the first year with HR model in the 350z? 2008 got 12 more HP and is also not 1st year. I am really thinking of just going stock with engine. All I am thinking of upgrading is maybe some lip, exhaust etc.

[@AnthonyJ350]

I'd go 2008 if you're picking an HR. Change out the air filters to K&N upgrade the clutch pedal to RJM, put in a short shift from Torque Solutions and do exhaust. Also look into swapping out some bushings and end links on the suspension to revise it.

[@patrickkillilea5225]

@@CaastellanNWow, that is super low miles! I would say then, with the automatic, realize it shifts into 2nd a little bit slow on purpose... I like the auto because I don't like shifting all the time. And you can put in manual mode too. Just not good for burn outs... but that's not me. On mine, I also have a Jeg's "Sprint Booster". It is a throttle controller which cuts the lag time on the foot to throttle plate action, and has an effect on the trans shifting, too. All said, it is a great car. I am planning to get a newer, lower miles motor.. like from Japan maybe? My Z has a dual cat back exhaust, from Amazon, a Kinetic composite intake upper plenum, and Jim Wolf air box modified by me.

[@AnthonyJ350]

You probably have VLSD given you have VDC and Brembo brakes. I would look into upgrading it with a hellical style differential.

[@kookdrifter]

Would you happen to know if LSD options also refer to roadster 350z? So base model roadster is open diff and all other roadster trim level come with vlsd? Just asking cuz I've heard that they don't come with vlsd and also heard that all except the base for roadsters Thanks

I have no idea which model 350z I have. That may sound dumb but from all these cars you've showed my car has some aspects and others it does not. When I look at my steering wheel, it has no buttons on it. It only has the VDC button below. It has electric heated seats and air conditioning. It has light brown leather seats. I have a whole different transmission stick. There is no GPS or anything. It was built in May 2003 and I think it was imported from Japan with the steering wheel on the right. It has Brembo brakes. It does have all the empty compartments in the back and the Bose speakers.

Moe Black I would look into tuning to get the most out of your mods. At least run it on a dyno to make sure there is no detonation throughout the whole power band to make sure you're safe.

[@roddydykes7053]

Would your basic DE bolt-ons, i.e: Plenum spacer, better headers/downpipe, high-flow cat, less restrictive exhaust, negate the performance difference between the older and newer engines?

[@AnthonyJ350]

To an extent. Newer engines like the HR are really good stock and have a lot of top end. So a modded and tuned DE vs an HR if the driver's are the same the HR will typically win. If you did forced induction you can beat a stock HR.

@@AnthonyJ350 Actually I have a set of Kinetix High Flow Cats and a Topspeed Pro1 Exhaust....it sounds great. A tune would be a big issue because of the CEL. I live in the lackey CARB state of New York so that says it all. If emissions testing were not an issue I would have done it already. Most of the time the tune requires disabling the rear o2s from what I heard but that would be an automatic fail and the amount of parts on is too little and not worth a tune yet. Also when you get your car tune do you have to pay for a license plus the tune?

@@AnthonyJ350 Basically you pull into any approved inspection mechanic shop in NY State. They hook your car up to a Bluetooth device which is in turn connected to a computer. This camera wirelessly reads the data on your ECU and if you have more than one not ready light you're screwed. It can be any one but ONLY one. And as far as what uprev would do is the shop would disable the rear o2 sensors and trick them somehow into believing everything is alright. But once the computer sees the rear o2 sensors are disabled it is an instant fail. Plus when I went to have those parts installed the place I went to....Vinny Ten racing....said I need a tune. I had told them if the check engine light did not come on then I do not want a tune. So they were about to start getting to work and one of his employees hands me the receipt to sign. I noticed in the bottom mid right part of the receipt there was a barely legible with the naked eye paragraph of me basically releasing them from the risk of working on my car....in other words a liability release. I called them on this and the guy said everyone signs this. I said that was not the question I asked. I said is this a liability release to which he replied yes. So I asked him so God forbid someone screws up and blows my engine on the dyno after the install it is not their fault. He said nothing. I told him straight out I do not feel comfortable signing this so if I do not sign this you will not work on my car, to which he replied we cannot. So I said deuces. On top of that when my car is to be tuned can you tell me if I have to pay for a license as well and if so can you tell me why? Also I heard that if I had to reflash back to inspection then I would have to pay for that to to get the same tune back as well?
