USED Nissan 350Z - The common problems & should you buy one?

Can you guys review a 2006 mazda 6. Much like the MPS but the base version!

This is no joke, i watch all your videos, the last 3 cars i have purchased, literally a few days later you guys do a review, the last 3 cars, its bloody freaky guys knock it off 😂

Valve covers. If you can't verify they've been changed buy a new set now. You'll need them. And don't get cheap aftermarket ones. Valve covers are essential part of the engine. Don't cheap out

With the convertible be sure to check the 'rubber band' straps on the interior of the top. They get stretched out over time and the top won't fold correctly causing it to rub against the frame and tear. Also the main motor (sometimes called the 5th bow motor) which raises and lowers the top can go bad over time and need to be replaced

Damn. Bro just roasted 90% of the community. LOL.

The coupe is nice but I have the convertible and I think that if you haven’t driven one you are missing out. Also mine has only done 60000 kms. Most hardtops are flogged out and past it. I would steer past the hardtops.

Main problems you need to worry about: Lack of oil changes by previous owner = failed timing chain tensioners (noise at cold start) and gearbox synchros in pre 05 models with the CD008 and older gearbox revisions (shifting into 2nd, 3rd and 5th)

If there's no issues with those, the rest is generally pretty cheap to repair, loads of parts out there.

100k NA 350z??? Nahh

Do a jzx 90 or 100

Can you guys please review the 2016 Holden Barina RS. Awesome little car for 10k

One of the most common issue is the look of the car

I have a mk3 Focus ST would love to see you guys do a video on one.. your XR5 video was great too!

Had a 2003 years ago and sold it. I very much regret it. Last year I bought a 2003 Track from a Nissan master mechanic for only $10,000 Canadian LOL. The car is mint. Came with a pricey Nismo stainless exhaust too, sounds sooo good, accentuates that VQ growl w/o being obnoxious.

I've since spend another $5k in preventative maintenance (used CD009 tranny, new crank/cam sensors, knock sensor harness, hatch shocks and springs, clutch and heavy single mass flywheel). This car is so fun to drive - IF you know what it is, a cheap, reliable, sporty GT car.

In this era where speed cameras and heavy fines exist for any kind of spirited driving, this car makes an awesome and honest DD.

Yes, the rear strut tower bar does suck and is 100% the worst design feature.

Design in America

Mine starting Eating Oil when it only had 2k Miles on it!!! when it was new basically! Never again!

Also didn’t like how easy the dash would scratch up around the heater control areas

Audi TT looks the same but is way cheaper, sure the Audi is less powerful but in both cars you will look like homosexual individual but nothing wrong in that 😁

The thing is, this is the type of car that is meant to be abused.

Wish it was a 2+2 😊

I love these and was considering buying one until I raced one with my IS350 F Sport (which I don't consider fast) and beat it handily

Great video! But what about the 300zx ?

Not to be picky, you talked about the 240z, 260z & 280z. 300zx should be mentioned. Thanks for the video!

The 350z is actually a mid engined car according to Nissan, the engine is as far back as possible. for weight distribution.

I have a 2006 . That right hand drive …… no way . I live in Canada .

Is it worth it to buy a 350z as a daily? It seems it would be a fun daily but is it reliable? Would buying a 350z from a dealer be best?

perfect viedo!

I thought he said 2 Ellen's 😂

Automotive Marraca..you crack me up. i like your videos.

In southern California, I've only ever seen this car driven by young Hispanic males aged ~18-24 years old, and always driven HARD. Ya no thanks!

You definitely have to do a video for the Ford Mustang GT s197 2005 🙏🙏🙏

I've had mine 21 years. worra car. Suck my shorts.

One day, I will buy one !

I thinking of buying this for my first car, I don't want anything serious or super new, but I was told by some friends I should get this. Automatic is the way to go for me, but is this a good first car? I wont be driving a lot and to far places, max ill travel is maybe 30 miles. Mainly to be used to go and get from school, practice, errands, and weekends. Ill like to hear some opinions from some owners. What should I look out for when purchasing a used? Average cost for maintenance a year? How does it hold on gas?

I had one of the first 350z in the USA. It went through two failed manual transmissions (second of which I paid for out of pocket), tire cupping, failed power steering in 8k miles to where I simply sold it and got something else. Turns out 2 of the 3 issues were recalls down the road and I should not have paid for the second transmission. I swore off Nissan for life after than experience.

Love the 350z! Im a bit of a watch guy too, was cool to spot an aussie owned Erebus Origin too 👍

wrist check? is that an erebus??? if so im subbing instantly lmao. great video none the less

Interior looks cheap compared to later models ??? 🤦🤦🤦

What years would you stay away from?

I love my 350z. 2005 kids ruin e'm. I keep stock.❤

Wanna buy 350z because of NFSUG2 Rachel's 350z 😂

I had a 350Z HR when I was a little younger. 4 years and the only thing to ever go wrong with it, other than consumables was the water pump. fairly easy fix though, a little scary to do because you have to move the timing around a little, but easy enough. Fuel was a tad much but for a 3.5V6 you dont expect prius level economy. Sounded amazing in tunnels too. 8/10 car in my honest ex-owner review.

So much different in nz, as far as these go here they are pretty cheap still, tho comparing to an s15 in terms of a comparison they are about 3x the price. Unfortunately have fallen into the overpriced JDM classic car price range

4 months too late, my engine exploded

When are we getting a Z32 300ZX review??

Great video and closing statement.
I've had mine nearly 20 years now and use it daily.
No regrets.
No plans to sell.
If i did i'd be that mature enthusiast owner you've recommended to buy from 😄

Is that an Erebus watch?

A real fuel economy figure of 20mpg puts me off.

Holy Cow, think this is a hard pass when you can get better performance for cheaper, and even if it's not cheaper, it's better. And has more than 2 seats, rides better, has a much bigger trunk...

Still my dream car❤

I.m buying a 2015 Nissan 350z
