Hey! Hopefully the issues aren't too bad. Look through some of my older videos, I talk a lot about diagnosing the problems, finding solutions, etc... let me know if you've got any questions!🙏
@@PwezeyPSNGaming yea that’s because a bunch of teenagers want a 350z. Seen so many shit box DE 350z’s with shitty teenager owners that think it’s a race car 🤣

hey bro u think a 2003 ethusnasis with 169,000 miles for 5,000 is good deal or skecthy has some aftermarket work like borla exhaust test pipes, injen intake, motordyne plenum spacer, sway bars, transgo shift kit for trans dyno tuned an lowered for 5k
I daily drove a 2003 DE 350z for 2 years, I loved the car but man oh man do you forget how comfortable a proper sports car can actually be, I was 19 when I first got the car and now being in my early 20s having sold the car it’s fun and amazing but practicality really gets in the way when you plan to use the car to commute, especially far. the transmission can feel ehh at times at low rpm’s especially in traffic situations moving at 10mph and etc. I agree how the transmission also makes you feel like you need to push the clutch in and drive the car fast you really do feel it in this car, it doesn’t enjoy being cruised at low speeds for long periods of time, but this car is amazing when you can go fast and I suppose that’s why you are even looking into this car, but all in all, this car is an amazing daily driver and only left me stranded once bc of the clutch going out which is regular maintenance and other than that the car has never done me dirty. Kept the engine stock it whole life and never went wrong, went to a 2014 wrx hatch and I love it :)
@@korylafland8325No, I got my reckless driving out when I had my first car and my FRS, When I had the Z I wanted to truly take care of it and not abuse it. That's exactly what I did with my 350z, the clutch was going out regardless because I took it to my mechanic who is a family friend and also very trust worth with his work and told me before hand that the clutch needed to be replaced because it didn't have much life left in it, and I understood that and got as much miles as I could out of my clutch, lasted me like one whole year and about half of another, the transmission also wasn't in the best condition also, which is the most common thing to out in 03 350Z DE spec, the transmission synchro's were going bad and caused my 3rd gear to be sensitive and didn't allow for me to shift to 3rd fast, only slow shifts in 3rd gear all the others were good and perfect.
this is exactly why i just picked up an 08 350z in automatic only 43k miles on it after driving only manual for 13 years😂 Im so happy with not having to constantly shift from 1st to 3rd in traffic
I was about to talk shit about you boasting about your Nissan, but I then read your about and it makes sense. You share the experiences you have with your cars, so I appreciate that
need the cruise button if you want the rolling anti lag feature with uprev. This video reminded me to go get some more work done on my built twin turbo.
XD true! I’ve seen a few people online that installed them themselves! I’ll definitely be looking into that before I get tuned🤙 thanks for tuning in man
lol this is why I prefer to drive automatics over manuals for my daily driver. just my personal preference but the clutch can be very annoying after awhile
@@gotworc That's because its like driving with extra steps when having a manual lol. I was honestly thinking selling my 2001 camry just for a manual car (was thinking around a 90 Celica or sc300) but I'm thinking of just having 2 cars just having the camry as my daily while the other just to mess around with the engine.
Change your tyranny fluid and run Mobil one but you have to run 1 oz of friction modifier for every quart of trans fluid if you don't your 6th gear will grind when up shifting. The friction modifier gives the synchros traction so the gears stop spinning while shifting up or down.
No shame in driving an older vehicle. I have a 1998 LS400 and I lust after 350z’s, 370’s and other cars from time to time but the big land boat does it’s thing.
5th gear grind is there to stay no master what. I've changed my clutch and flywheel replaced both trans and diff fluids. Although it helps, it's less pronounced and ever so often
New York would be crazy!! Would love to someday get this thing out there. Then we could do a proper drive in some REAL traffic haha thanks for tuning in!🙏
I daily drive a 2019 370Z sport coupe 6MT that I bought new in November of 2018. It's been a great car with no issues or problems, possibly due to the careful maintenance that I've given it with top-grade fuels and lubricants and not having abused it. The car is made entirely in Japan with Japanese sourced parts and so Nissan is able to exert more control over QA, than with stuff that is off shored to third world countries.
I just started looking into manual cars and since I was young I always loved the 350z but I didn't know that there were different types of it, what kind of 350z is the average or good manual model cause I know there's the touring 350z and other kinds of the car. If anyone can help with which type of 350z is good would be much appreciated.
Same here bro I got a z few months ago because I've always wanted it when I was younger and just decided fuck it its now or push it off more. I got an manual 05 drop top because that's my preference, but I want to say 03 to 07 is where it has the DE engines with some having the rev up engine. 08 and up has HR engine which is better I think, but depending who you ask there's debate. Either way I think any year z is fun as hell to drive
Hey Samuel, great question! So they're all very similar with just a few cosmetic/performance upgrades as the years go on. 03-04 regular DE motor: 287HP. 05-06 Manuals get the Rev Up motor: 300HP. 07-08 models get the HR: 306HP. Each time they changed it, they also set the RPM red line to 500rpm more than previous years. 03-04 getting 6,500, 05-06 getting 7,000, and 07-08 getting 7,500. Also, if you're planning on changing maps/flame tunes, look for a non-base model with steering wheel cruise control buttons. The base model(my car lol) is the only model that has no buttons, and I am unable to change maps as they usually set it to the cruise control buttons. There is plenty more to add, but this is a solid starting point! Thanks for tuning in bro!!🙏
Bro my Z also grinds like hell on the 5th gear. I use double cluth on gears to stop it from grinding. also got a base model 03. And yes the AC is freaking cold.
xD I understand your pain my friend... I've been looking into a permanent fix for the 5th gear grind, and will have a video on it soon! Seen many other people with the same issue! Appreciate you tuning in!🙏
I think the incredibly cold ac is just as a nissan thing. I drive 6 speed swapped maxima (don't ask why I have this) and the ac is incredibly freezing even when all away down
Hey! I was cruising in 6th, had to slowly put it into 5th because it grinds, then dropped to 4th, then 3rd! Gunned it and back to 4th🤙 thanks for tuning in man!
Here in Germany driving a manual daily is common, if you do your license in a car with an automatic trans you´re restricted to automatic only. Also the tiktok videos about manuals are mostly bs...
@@MouseCIick Getting a drivers license in Germany is very expensive and done in a special driving school only. Doing it in an automatic is more expensive because the additional car costs the driving school. Usually the license is done in manual cars. If you want to drive a manual after you did the auto only license you have to do some training hours and a driving test.
It's pretty much like this anywhere in Europe. If you take your driving test in automatic, you can only drive automatic but if you do it in manual you can drive both. That's why most people take their driving tests in manual cars also because automatic cars are more expensive to buy and maintain, most people drive manual even after the test
350z motor and trannny is bullet proof until it's in a bad owners hands. The clutch is something your body gets used to over time. New drivers will be like wth it's so heavy. It's night and day when I drive my daily which is a 90 geo 5spd. The clutch is super soft.
I was also skeptical about only have two seats when buying the Z…I have two best friends and we can’t all ride together anymore lol but one of them ended up getting a girlfriend and they drive separate anyways. So it worked out I guess🤷♂️ haha thanks for tuning in bro
It actually uses just a bit of the engines power to run the AC so turning it off will allow you to have full power! It’s probably only like 10hp, but it’s something! Thanks for tuning in man!🙌
I wouldn't call your commute busy. Want to try busy, drive on the 405 and 5 and 118 in California at 445 pm, watch your temp gauge raise when it's 108 out, that's busy. Your commute looks heavenly.
You're absolutely correct lol compared to a lot of places, this traffic really isn't too heavy. I'll be doing a video soon where I'm driving through stop and go traffic in LA or something to get the real experience haha I appreciate you tuning in man!
I change my diff and tranny fluid several times and I have 107k. New clutch and I double clutch too. Never grind, have motor mounts and trans mount too.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! My RevUp burns a good about of oil, and I just need to top it off about once per week, but other than that it's been a great car. Not all of them burn oil, so you may find a special one. As far as power goes, the HR and RevUp feel pretty similar, haven't had the chance to drive a normal DE yet though. Make sure to check the oil when the car is cold and see the cold start. If the car is warm when you get there, it could be hard to view the oil level, and they could be hiding something! 100k miles is fairly low though, mine has 94k and runs like a champ while just keeping up with regular maintenance! Appreciate your comment Jake! :)
@@JohnnyB. thanks for the reply I watched a bunch of your other videos after I posted that question and you answered them there haha. It sold but I’ll keep an eye out for the next one. 🤙🏼
about cruise control, I actually never used it even on long trips, I drove over 1800km at 130 - 150km stable, i just don't feel comfortable or safe using the cruise control you manually set, if I had the newer adaptive cruise control I would use it my 370z A/C isn't very cold, cuz temp here reach 122 to 134 Fahrenheit (50 to 56 Celsius) in summer my mustang A/c is a lot colder
It is quite weird haha especially with manual cars usually being even a few grand cheaper, there’s still more autos! Love my manual, will always own one as long as the gov’t lets me haha
Ahhh I understand your pain! At least it doesn't effect drivability!🙏 I've seen online that there is a fix; I might tackle it someday and film the process lol I'll keep you updated!
Prefer my automatic just for my heavy traffic area I stay in . But everything else is pretty good .edit have a z1 m-spec cat back daul exhaust can't have deleted in my area . With a kinetix manifold
Hey!! I really debated getting an auto for the same reason! I’ve also heard they’re geared different to feel faster than the manual which is appealing👀 I’d love to get a kinetix manifold, hopefully someday soon!! Thanks for tuning in🙏🏼
@@JohnnyB. I had saved up money for years and when I bought both of my z’s 2 years ago I got an auto as my daily and a manual for my weekend car. It was a 50 minute drive to work back n fourth with 80% bumper to bumper traffic. I tried it for a week or two with my manual and it was just not fun at all.
XD Megan racing is a great company! I should have put a picture in the video, but my lowering springs actually say Morgan racing lol I think they’re knockoffs, previous owner put them on. Will be getting coilovers soon though🙏🏼 i appreciate you tuning in!🙌
I have a 03 350z 125k miles and no problems with my synchros at all. No grind in any gear. All depends how original owners drove the cars. My questions is ur tranny loud in lower gears and does it have a light whine to it? Dont know any z owners personally so asking u...lol
That’s how you daily drive? This is why people hate Z’s 😂 3-4k rpm is not cruising and 5k is not a daily shift point. Don’t even get me started on muffler deletes on these things. Just don’t do that shit late at night around residential areas or in high pedestrian areas
😂😂 I understand what you mean! I wasn’t aware people hated Z’s though lol The muffler delete really isn’t too loud, all things considered. It’s the completely straight piped Z’s that get gnarly! I appreciate your concern my friend🙏🏼 thanks for tuning in!
I’m looking to buy a 350, and I want to know if the one that I am buying is a rip off. It would be awesome if u could tell me how much u bought yours for so I have a example of what prices to look for!
Hey Alex! In my most recent video I actually talked about this! I'm about 5'9 and have plenty of room. I had a guy that was 6'3 asking if he would fit and we concluded that he'd be fine! On the 350z forums there are a few guys 6'7 and 6'9 that drive Z's. They had to get low profile seat brackets but it seems to work for them! Also, the roof has a nice bubble in it for extra headroom. Definitely worth sitting in and testing out, thanks for tuning in man!🙏
Dang =/ Sorry to hear. Could be a refrigerant leak somewhere? Also, do you happen to be running an aftermarket radiator? I've seen it's common where the refrigerant pressure sensor doesn't get plugged back in and it won't work properly. Definitely worth a check! Keep me posted!🙏
No eyelids look the nicest, having the headlights cut into the hood is one of my favorite parts about the design of the car.
It's true, definitely looks clean without! I see what you mean now about the hood cuts, definitely changes the look of the front of the car! Thanks for commenting🙏

I don’t even have a 350z I drive an old beater 02 neon 😂 but mine also does the grind when going into 5th
Hey man, neon's are sick. If modded right, they look awesome, and the SRT-4 is no joke! Appreciate you tuning in!
lol i wish i had the srt 4. i just have an sxt i bought for 1500 a year and a half ago, still running!
I see a new Johnny boy video, I click
Thank you bro🙏🏼 I appreciate you!
TheZe are fairly peppy in the lower half of the RPM range.
im thinking about getting the 350z or scion frs i think i might get the 350z lol and i also live in temecula hope i see your car and i just subscribed
I change my diff and tranny fluid several times and I have 107k. New clutch and I double clutch too. Never grind, have motor mounts and trans mount too.
Nice video! I’m here in SD too, just saw an 06 350z roadster GT with the 6 speed 100k miles asking 9k for it. Thoughts on the revup version? Thanks
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! My RevUp burns a good about of oil, and I just need to top it off about once per week, but other than that it's been a great car. Not all of them burn oil, so you may find a special one. As far as power goes, the HR and RevUp feel pretty similar, haven't had the chance to drive a normal DE yet though. Make sure to check the oil when the car is cold and see the cold start. If the car is warm when you get there, it could be hard to view the oil level, and they could be hiding something! 100k miles is fairly low though, mine has 94k and runs like a champ while just keeping up with regular maintenance! Appreciate your comment Jake! :)
@@JohnnyB. thanks for the reply I watched a bunch of your other videos after I posted that question and you answered them there haha. It sold but I’ll keep an eye out for the next one. 🤙🏼
i have an all white 07 z you may have seen me around temecula, murrieta, or menifee
about cruise control, I actually never used it even on long trips, I drove over 1800km at 130 - 150km stable, i just don't feel comfortable or safe using the cruise control you manually set, if I had the newer adaptive cruise control I would use it
my 370z A/C isn't very cold, cuz temp here reach 122 to 134 Fahrenheit (50 to 56 Celsius) in summer
my mustang A/c is a lot colder
Still got my 2004 roadster❤❤ Had her up to a buck 20 today, which ain't crazy but it was a zhit road🤣🤣 Love the Z💯💯💯
Its so weird that in america its more common to have an automatic. Basically everyone in the uk has a manual
It is quite weird haha especially with manual cars usually being even a few grand cheaper, there’s still more autos! Love my manual, will always own one as long as the gov’t lets me haha
@@JohnnyB. haha thats it, theres just like soemthing nice about changing gears yourself isnt there? Haha
Especially when you drop it down for that little boost
try to do double clutch on 5th, may be that help to not make noise
I’m from Marietta nice to see home again 👍🏾
(I know that’s not how u spell it lol )
Mine also grinds when I shift into 5th lol
Ahhh I understand your pain! At least it doesn't effect drivability!🙏 I've seen online that there is a fix; I might tackle it someday and film the process lol I'll keep you updated!
@@JohnnyB. For sure man would appreciate a solution for that detail lol 🤟🔥
@Johnny B. Had an 03 n a 07. Both of them would grind both low miles. My 08 170k no grinds 😲 can’t believe it
@@mrpistonrecaro6483 Did the synchro ever broke or the trans?
Kinda like the aggressive look much better actually
Nice 👍 really enjoyed this Ron uk 🇬🇧
Prefer my automatic just for my heavy traffic area I stay in . But everything else is pretty good .edit have a z1 m-spec cat back daul exhaust can't have deleted in my area . With a kinetix manifold
Hey!! I really debated getting an auto for the same reason! I’ve also heard they’re geared different to feel faster than the manual which is appealing👀 I’d love to get a kinetix manifold, hopefully someday soon!! Thanks for tuning in🙏🏼
I love mine. Its an auto, and I still have a lot of fun driving it.
@@JohnnyB. I had saved up money for years and when I bought both of my z’s 2 years ago I got an auto as my daily and a manual for my weekend car. It was a 50 minute drive to work back n fourth with 80% bumper to bumper traffic. I tried it for a week or two with my manual and it was just not fun at all.
Really soon I’m getting my own 350z at age 18 just got bored driving a automatic car
MEGAN Racing, not morgan. Megan has good coils and springs.
XD Megan racing is a great company! I should have put a picture in the video, but my lowering springs actually say Morgan racing lol I think they’re knockoffs, previous owner put them on. Will be getting coilovers soon though🙏🏼 i appreciate you tuning in!🙌
05 40k Eaton style supercharger, love it.
Awesome, and low miles! Thank you for tuning in!🙏
Sounds healthy btw
You can get hold of synchros and rebuild your gearbox. I hear the synchros on older Zs were weaker.
I have a 03 350z 125k miles and no problems with my synchros at all. No grind in any gear. All depends how original owners drove the cars. My questions is ur tranny loud in lower gears and does it have a light whine to it? Dont know any z owners personally so asking u...lol
Can you please tell me where I can get a 350z for cheap?
this makes me want to drive my truboed Mazda2 Hatch
Do it!!!🙏
@@JohnnyB. yesir fat rips (turboing a mazda 2 is the hardest thing but stuustuu)
Do you think I could see over the hood if I’m 5’6
my g35 does not grind going into 5th and it has 130k miles
Dang I’m jealous haha proof that if you keep up with proper fluid changes, you’ll be set👌
This man said busy city and Temecula in the same sentence
😂😂 maybe it’s just too many lights in this town that make it feel that way…swear they are every 15 seconds!
I hate when ppl cut in front of me I’m in 2nd gear going the bear minimum 8mph it’s just the worst
my gears lock out i have to match the rpms before it lets me put it in gear and it wont let me money shift >:)
Love my z don’t daily her though she more of a weekend car etc drove it to work twice but not ususally .
That’s how you daily drive? This is why people hate Z’s 😂 3-4k rpm is not cruising and 5k is not a daily shift point. Don’t even get me started on muffler deletes on these things. Just don’t do that shit late at night around residential areas or in high pedestrian areas
😂😂 I understand what you mean! I wasn’t aware people hated Z’s though lol The muffler delete really isn’t too loud, all things considered. It’s the completely straight piped Z’s that get gnarly! I appreciate your concern my friend🙏🏼 thanks for tuning in!
Nah the z get load asf at shifting when they old my 2002 got a throw out bring squealing noise but you can’t rly fix it
Just keep coming back after a bit
how many times does this guy said "you know"
Haha I haven’t counted, but definitely a few times. Appreciate you tuning in🙏🏼
I’m looking to buy a 350, and I want to know if the one that I am buying is a rip off. It would be awesome if u could tell me how much u bought yours for so I have a example of what prices to look for!
Lol I also have lowering springs on my Z and Tampa roads are not forgiving 😂
You gained a sub ;)
Welcome to the fam🙌 appreciate you tuning in!
How tall are you ? And do you have good headspace ? I want to buy the next Z but i'm 6'6
Hey Alex! In my most recent video I actually talked about this! I'm about 5'9 and have plenty of room. I had a guy that was 6'3 asking if he would fit and we concluded that he'd be fine! On the 350z forums there are a few guys 6'7 and 6'9 that drive Z's. They had to get low profile seat brackets but it seems to work for them! Also, the roof has a nice bubble in it for extra headroom. Definitely worth sitting in and testing out, thanks for tuning in man!🙏
Nice 350 bro how many miles on it 🔥
Thanks man🙏🏼 just hit 84k and goin up quick haha
How you gonna mention the frs but not the ctsv 😭😭
Not to be mean but i just want to hear the car sound and see you drive , not talking and btw the car looks cool even in the inside!
I didn’t even know Zs had Cold A/C’s 😞 mine has had issues since forever swapped almost everything
Dang =/ Sorry to hear. Could be a refrigerant leak somewhere? Also, do you happen to be running an aftermarket radiator? I've seen it's common where the refrigerant pressure sensor doesn't get plugged back in and it won't work properly. Definitely worth a check! Keep me posted!🙏
Peak Traffic in California. So basically whenever you drive somewhere. 😏
Really want to sell my car for a 350z but they so hard to find where I'm at
I feel you man, It'll pop up when you least expect it🙏 appreciate you tuning in!
If i had the money im buying one rn
Definitely worth saving for! I appreciate you tuning in!🙏
I own a FBO tuned 350z I love my Z
Definitely need to get mine FBO and tuned soon!🙏 Thanks for tuning in!!
Dude how many miles do you get with a full tank and what MPG do you get normally? I bought a 350Z and only get around 200 miles with a full tank :(
Never buy a sports car if you have even the smallest concern about gas and MPG lmao
sick Z ✌🏻
Thank you bro! Your Z sounds awesome btw!🙌
