350z? Does year matter? Whats the difference?

[Black Mamba]

Alright guys. I've been looking into getting a 350z. I'm thinking about 2006 but I've heard some bad stuff about it, so I'm still debating whether I should get one or not.

I know that starting 06, it has a different motor then 05 and below. And maybe 50/50 chance that the motor will consume massive amount of oil. And when it gets really bad, the car will have to be lemoned ? Is this true?

If anybody can help me out on some facts about 350z's that will be great and reps will be given. I've been researching on my own, but can't really seem to figure out what I want.

Just general ideas will be fine.. like.. whats the difference between different trim levels, and blah blah. Pros and Cons and stuff like that.

the 03-04 have the non Rev-up engine, the 05-06 have the rev-up engine. the 07 got the VQ35HR engine that makes 306hp and has the dual intake. I would go with the 07...or just wait for the 370Z that has the same engine as the G37.

All the engines from 03-06 had the oil consumption problems. Well, I take that back, some did and some didnt, but there were complaints from all years. I dont know about the HR engine.

[EJ25RUN]

yeah agree... with the HR motor being best.

Just get a NISMO edition and be done with it.
