You must get aftermarket adjustable pieces to get the suspension aligned properly even with all factory settings. If it is lowered, its even worse.

Does it have the Brembo package? I hope not because 1 rotor from the dealership is $575. I got all 4 of mine from Stillen for $900. Also, the factory pads and front rotors only lasted 24K miles. My clutch also went out at 48K miles but I have heard of them going out as soon as 11K miles and not covered under warranty because its a "wear" part.

Nissan left a bitter taste in my mouth so I highly doubt I will ever own another one...
lol.. for one you had a g35-not a Z.. they are similar, but not the same and many times they dont have the same issues.. the tire feathering isnt nearly as bad as people make it out to be.. and the oil consumption was rare on the 03's and 04's.. it came with the rev up engine in 05... as far as trannys.. dont drive like an ass hat and you will b fine.. the clutch is a bit difficult to get used to on the 350Z.. has a really late engagment point.. can be adjusted though..

but every car( expecially sports cars) have issues the 350z isnt nearly as bad as a mustang(lol) like i said earlier, ive had mine for almost 2 years now-zero problems... but GL on getting a Z.. they are great cars..
