Why You Shouldn't Buy A 350z

5 Reasons why you shouldn't buy a 350z, but honestly, still do it, these cars are fantastic
Ig: @LowsoStance

[@AnthonyJ350]

Really valid points to consider in this video for someone looking to make this car a daily.

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@LowSo I'm just like everyone else want a cool car but have little money to do it lol. I'm hoping some of my videos help out the Z community.

[@Nec89]

@@AnthonyJ350 I've owned 2 Z's and your videos have helped immensely. I sold my first one and have regretted it since so I bought another and it has been a nightmare because the previous owner stripped everything they could off of the car "I would assume to track it" and basically made it underivable as a daily. When I bought it I knew it needed work but I didn't realize the hole I was jumping into with the cost of replacing the odds and ends the car is missing. To be honest for what I've spent I could have bought a totaled Z, stripped it for parts, and maybe made some money selling what I didn't need.

[@doggofv]

So 1. Doesnt really matter 2. Wouldnt bother me 3. For 5k its pretty quick 4. Check engine lights are not a huge problem and it does happen on other cars and some of the other things you mentioned 5. Yeah this one is true its kinda weird but not a huge problem unless your doing a lot of engine work 6. I think its just a problem with your car 7. ^^^ For the price its 100% worth it

Owned 2 350z and I can say I did encounter few headaches but that could actually happened to any car.. I did learned a lot of this car.. and I can say 350z still worth it.. cant wait to see this guy once he owned euro cars which is much harder & expensive to maintain.. i think for me once you have passion or love a certain car?

350Z were sweet when they first came out but ofc comparing a 15 y/o car to a current car it's gonna not be as quick. bought a revup touring 06 last year when I knew nothing about cars and this was the car I learned manual in and stalled a bullion times. still no issues i lucked out without the oil burning, window, etc and I've done bare minimum maintence. the only negative is definitely the shit paint Nissan put in their interior lol...

[@Nec89]

A few tips for anyone shopping for a Z coming from someone who's owned 2 if them, CHECK EVERYTHING! Make sure all the interior trim is there and not broken because these parts are expensive to replace. Check all the plastic shielding under the car because its important. They stop water and rocks from being thrown into the engine bay which can cause a world of issues, especially water which can cause a nightmare of electrical issues for these cars. If these aren't intact you'll eventually end up with water in your intake, inside all the electrical connectors "because they aren't water tight" inside the headlight housings and in the battery compartment which will cause the car not to start or weird things like your alarm or door locks to start acting weird. If the car has aftermarket wheels try to find out what they are and check the price of the tires available for those wheels. Last thing you want is some odd size that have limited availability. Also make sure the wheels are Hub Centric because if not you'll need hub centric rings. If they aren't and you don't install rings you'll be replacing wheel studs every few months because the stock studs aren't made for the abuse. In most cases this wont be possible but if you can thoroughly inspect the car I would recommend pulling the plenum to pull spark plugs. Generally at about 70k the seals in the valve covers start to fail and the spark plug tubes will fill with oil and cause the plugs to foul. On the DE's this generally happens first on the driver side plug closest to the firewall. Also keep in mind that the WHOLE valve cover has to be replaced because the plug seals are pressed into the cover and aren't a serviceable part. if you're doing the replacement yourself when you purchase the valve covers also buy replacement bolts because I can almost guarantee you'll break or lose one. If you own or plan to own one find the ECU & throttle position sensor reset instructions. PRINT THEM OUT AND KEEP THEM IN YOUR GLOVE BOX. the one time you need them you will be glad that you did. The ridiculous pedal dance you have to do for these cars will make you want to strangle whoever at Nissan thought this was a good idea. Last but definitely not least BODY KITS. Just because it looks cool doesn't mean you should buy it. In my personal experience most fiberglass kits for this car fit like complete garbage and any car with one I'd personally walk away from just to save myself from the headache. Save your money and spend it on upgrades that will make the car last. If you're looking at one that has a kit check the figment and make sure its not some janky install. If its fiberglass eventually it will crack. If the plastic shields have been removed or improperly installed removing an aftermarket kit is a nightmare because the bolts rust and usually have to be cut. This also makes going back to a stock kit an expensive and time consuming job because of all the clips and Fasteners that you will probably have to replace. I don't entirely agree with everything in the video but he's right that these cars have a lot of stupid little issues.Overall I love the Z's but they aren't for everyone. I would highly advise anyone shopping for one be mechanically inclined or have deep enough pockets to pay someone.

[@jimmywilliams866]

Remember, you didn't buy a new car. You don't know how the previous owner treated the car. I bought my 2003 new and 168k later the interior is scratch-free. With every used car, you'll have to get the maintenance up to standard. As far as speed, it's not a racer car. It's a sports coop. So you only have a platform to build on and make it faster. With the car aging more and more, it's getting cheaper, so you are able to buy those upgrades that you want.

To answer your questions as to why the engine bay is designed the way it is. The short answer is most tracks require your battery and fluids to be separate from the engine. Both can suffer from heat soak and present a potential fire hazards when excessively heated so separating them from a potential ignition source is important.

[@bestleesinna7702]

@@LowSo please understand, I don't mean any offense. 350Z's are a Nissan/Renault product. Renault is known for pushing cheap interior and quality is 50/50 chance. The engine is all Nissan. They also have CVT transmissions. Nissan was okay with ppl working on their cars. Renault is not. They designed the body to make it difficult to work on the engine. The enclosed boxes for brake fluid and battery function as a heat shield. That is actually a good thing, but aluminum is the way to go. Ultimately, the 350Z was supposed to be the answer to us not having a mid-range sports car and the original Nissan design was great. Renault ruined it when Nissan sold them most of their US and Euro market shares. Believe it or not, Kia is moving in the right direction. The Kia stringer is a fantastic alternative that will one day be the replacement. Toyota and Nissan are on their way out in terms of quality. Hyundai is cheap. Genesis is good, Honda is still good, and Kia is good. I haven't bought a car newer than 1998. I build all my own cars. I usually recommend cars with good building potential rather than newer cheapo cars. I have a 1993 Nissan SE-R and a 2000 Honda Civic. A little modification and the only thing that has smoked me is a twin turbo porsche, understandably. New cars have so little room to improve on them. Even bolt-ons are more difficult than they used to be. But there is no use discussing electronics and interior because it is designed to fail under more than weekend use. French car companies rub me the wrong way. So I guess don't blame Nissan for the interior entirely, but do blame them for selling out to a French company.

I never had one issue that wasn’t just regular maintenance. I will say 100% agree with interior quality, I upgraded to a pearlescent white 370Z and it was only marginally better inside. Good luck with the 350z I always enjoyed the car a lot.

All in All, it is still a bargain, I ;m an older guy, started out with a 280z in Highschool, bought the 350 when it was new in 2003, for nostalgia, I've had 2 Dodge Challengers and a GT, along with buying a used Mercedes SL 550. These Zs may have cheaper materials in them, but if you buy a used SL or Porsche 911 (you can get the used 911s between 99 and 04 for about 17 to 20K), they may have better materials, but they have all sorts of internal issues (that can cost you 10k+ in a single year). A lot easier to fix and maintain a Z, little money, it can be pretty quick also.

The crankshaft sensor is easy to replace on the bottom/driver's side of the car.

Can relate with the interior issue, but reaching over 150k not a single check engine light is a blessing lol, from what I’ve learned from other enthusiasts is that the cam sensor goes out a lot due to mistreatment and hard beating on the car (which we all do nobody’s gotta lie about it) but they’re typical things. One not you should put on though is living in snowy states they rust pretty quick and that getting some oe only parts are kinda hard now like the member stays that hold the rear end to the body not a cheap part and gotta get them shipped from japan 😓

Bro just look up how to reset it it’s not hard it fixed the bouncing problem on window

[@alexanderromero3218]

The motor has to be calibrated

[@HermanWillems]

You have the power of google.(but you don't use it...) I fixed my Window motor with placing new Brushes. I bought Radio Control Car motor brushes. (They mostly too large, just make them a bit smaller) I fixed my motor for 10 dollar. :) LOL Many things are cheap fixes. But people just do not GOOGLE. Sad. Do not ever replace the motor. The motor is just fine. The brushes just wear out. Because the window goes up and down everytime you step inside. Subwoofer doesn't work anymore ? 3 dollar fix by buying a relay and do some solder work. You bought a new motor. But you should RECALIBRATE the window ! You forgot that. That's why it stuck at 75%. Good luck. I feel sorry for you waisting so much money on a new motor. The most expensive thing on my 350z was a broken ignition coil 125 euro. And i already put 200.000 Kilometers on it. The rest was just regular wear and cheap fixes. The 350z is a super reliable car.

So far no problems with the windows going up and down except the day I accidentally hit that child safety switch. I've had issues with door locks. The key fob will open both doors but from inside the car the button on the driver's door will not open the passenger door. I have since discovered that the key will not manually lock/unlock the door and I also noticed some self-tapping screws in the handle so it appears the previous owner did something in there. Someday I have to force myself to get in there and see what's going on before I get locked out with no way to get back in. (I'm afraid of what I might find after the mess I found in the wiring harness for the radio after it kept discharging the battery.) Yeah, the interior trim paint is one of those things the car is known for. It's almost like they used a peel coat on it. That was a definite "fail" for the company there. I was surprised you didn't mention how much fun it is to change headlights/turn signals/etc.

[@michaelpast19]

I'm buying one for my Birthday next month 😎

[@raceclevidence9894]

Did you get one?

[@tonyhenderson1108]

I driving an 05 the problem might be your key fob if you have a second start there.

[@liluzicorndog6059]

the forum part had me dying 😂

[@matthewespinosa7682]

You sound successful, good job

[@joshscott7110]

I haven't seen a car that didnt break, whether it's a 500000 to 1000

[@kenjimamcfree7919]

The 350z is supposedly a mid engine setup that's why it's the way it is with little to no room.

[@inaj27]

Just bought mine customized already from and I’m so happy

[@angell3578]

My question is what year is his 350z?

[@SchaunD]

I know this is an old video but I’m trying to build my 03 350z up and I noticed you said you’re in the DMV area so I was hoping you could give me some tips and tricks to smooth out the process

[@miguel17505]

Bc you bought autozone sensors get oem and you won’t have problems

[@GodsSoldier1979]

Your review was awesome, thx. I’m looking to get my next toy and I really want one of these.

[@GenesisGenius]

Dont get the 03 04 z's. Seen so many problems with them. From 05 and up their reliable. The 07 and up is a beast

[@seanwoodson1143]

What’s wrong w the 04 ones

[@hayesjackson8436]

Sean Woodson yeah what’s wrong with the 04

[@rajahzavallah3665]

Hayes Jackson its the 05 and 06 rev ups they burn oil to much but 04 and 03 hv good engines

[@AnotherYoubue]

#1 its a Nissan, its like the Pontiac of Japanese cars

[@kenn5365]

one more comment definitely the 350Z Facebook group page has to be the most toxic car page lol

[@woodheat49]

Try changing the plugs on a first and second gen Ford SHO. You have to basically pull the intake plenum. FYI. Dumb shit brakes all the time on all vehicles. I own a Alfa Romeo, enough said lol.

[@woodheat49]

@@LowSo So far the most frustrating thing I have had to accomplish on my HR was removing the factory CATS. Had to mount a small cutting wheel to the end of a dowel rod and cut the "demon bolts"off.

[@dho7250]

Me after watching- ight let's buy one

[@todd987]

350Z 2006 here very reliable car.

[@vteckid82]

Not sure why this is surprising, Nissan literally cut corners everywhere

[@joeyjenks2971]

Good news for you , hope this helps you feel better , the truth is out of all the Cars I had and went thru they all have their own different problems just like how you were describing, some so ridiculous, some are small, some just doesn't make sense, some of the problems are cheap and some are very expensive, like your friends Car thier can be 26 sensors that can turn that check engine light on, long story short every Car sooner or later will have some kind of problem, I hope this truth made you feel better and also if your car is worth 12000.00 or 12million guess which Car Is going to cost more to fix, if you didn't know that now you know from Joey in Honolulu , Honolulu , Hawaii , Aloha 😎

[@robertoleal2397]

Remote could just have a bad battery, or it could be that driver window control module you said went bad

[@robertoleal2397]

Lowso give a battery a try first, might be lucky enough to fix the issue, if not then it’s the window control, cause both windows are wired through it.

[@jordanprice9285]

One thing I heard which is big with these cars is the insurance rates.. How _expensive_ can it *_really_* get?

[@nickoduvall5318]

Idk bout that mine is only 500 every 6 months and it's an 06 with 80miles

[@solenya5391]

I got an 05 and just turned 18 as a “new driver” under the insurance and only pay $180 for full coverage

[@Disorientation_]

I’m 21 with nothing on my record and mine was $230 a month for full coverage, which was the cheapest I found.

[@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER]

Honestly insurance depends on the state

[@juanposada3530]

100$ liability only under my dad's name 😂 I don't race it much it is my daily though live in Houstob Texas🤘🏻

[@richierich6961]

Lol #1 on the top 5 not to buy it should be the absolute worst rear and 3/4 visibility when checking blind spots...that’s a guessing game in a 350/370.
