As a proud owner of a clean 06 350Z Revup, this shit makes me cringe. I cannot blame the trash talk. These cars bottomed in price pre-Covid and every ricer fanboy started buying them and ruining them. They have become the new Honda Civic. It makes me sad. The only saving grace is that clean examples will go up in value as the drift kids continue to wreck them.

Old owner was a nice old guy who barely drove it and was selling it as the car got a check engine light and he didn't want to deal with the hassle.

I have a 2003 All Original except wheels/tires, stereo, eibach springs and window tint. 30K original miles. Manual trans. Original owner. Never been in the rain or out of the garage overnight. Like new.

The silver 350z at 1:30 i know what's wrong with his boot, he put the new boot struts the wrong way up and now the boot wont close properly they just need the bottom base just needs to be flipped to point downards

Feed, I appreciated the Big Lebowski reference

As long as there are tons of parts and donors I only really care if: • it's a manual transmission. • it hasn't been wrecked, ever. • the parts is still intact even if the vehicle runs poorly. i.e. blown head gasket, alternator failure, sensors failure, and failure of the catalytic converter. • if they haven't 'modified' it with saws and drills, or, removed OEM mounting locations. • lastly, if they haven't purposely fucked up the paint with a home depot repaint using some wood paint. I can fix all of the problems and replace all of the parts at home but not if the above criteria aren't met.

I kove the 350z. My neighbor had a manual growing up when they were somewhat new, thing was badass for what it was

I am lucky to be honest. I know that I got an automatic rather than manual, but I was lucky to have found a 350z with little over 100k miles completely well mantained and not driven by a teenager with intent of destroying it, I ended up getting my hands on it for just over 1,000 dollars after a drive south of my home about 45 minutes. Car ran from the day I bought it minus a small issue with the starter (that just took a little tap to fix), and had no problems at all aside from needing a little bit of gasoline and having a few ants on the exterior from having been parked under a tree for a few weeks. It's done me very well for the past 2 years

I won’t lie, I’d rather have a bone stock/unmodified auto cheaply than a clapped out or riced manual for the same price. Most likely, I won’t take my car to a track so an auto while isn’t great also isn’t the deal breaker. A clean auto car is a lot more appealing than a one that has bolt on wings, a torn up interior and a full rattle can job.

Wow, they really was no expense spared

I came away from this mostly just interested in that propane tank. 😂

The silver Z that was shown at 11:45 I found for sale today but it had an engine fire. I found it on marketplace. I no longer think it is the #1 choice. It is 100% the same car it has the same USCG veteran plate on it.

I actually have a sedan g35 converted to manual. Ran out of funds to finish it. Just been on jack stands.

Fun fact i did an auto to manual swap with some upgrades, cost only about $1500,$2000 and if you can change a clutch, you can do. Was done in about 2 days

Love my 2014 z convertible bought from Nissan dealership in nc was well taken care of by previous owners and low miles for the year .

i try never to just discount anything. if you find a decently priced and conditioned 350z auto - what is the realistic power increase can you do before powertrain problems?

i have a completely stock auto 350z from 2003. runs and everything, am i cooked or safe

Your videos are a source of motivation and encouragement. They remind me to keep pushing forward and chasing my dreams.

The 370 is almost just as bad now. All these idiots selling their salvage titled shitboxes thinking they're going to get 20k because of some mods.

i got for £4000GBP a 130k 2007 HR 350z GT with BC BR coils, the RAYS, injen dual intakes and other engine work, agency power ti single exit, sparco bucket seats, recently repainted, nismo v3 front bumper. no engine light no issues drives insane and dynod 319whp, its the best thing that ever happened to me i bought it when i just turned 18 and i have had it for a year and a couple months now daily driving it and its the best feeling to have such a dream car at 19, and the car is absolutely the most fun ive had driving, it beats the GTR, cayman, type r, mx5s, 3 series ive driven before for fun and responsiveness all round. when found clean and worked on they are amazing cars and last a eternity, the HRs also dont burn oil like the DEs do

'Left hand drive, Automatic transmission' JDM Legend guys!

I think the hardest part about them is people still want them to be cheap. Their price went up a lot as did everything else,big deal. Also time has passed an 04 Z is 20 years old now, that means there is less of them to find. Also so many people want to treat them like show cars instead of push them to there limits.

I'm guessing he broke it somehow. I'm going to drive around the neighborhood soon to see if I can find it. I'm betting it is in a driveway on jackstands and will be there for years.
