you can do it for sound, but not fuel efficiency. Most likely, you may see a DROP in mileage when you decrease the backpressure of the exhaust.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jul 18, 2006 5:22 am) I do not drive this car hard at all, well not alot the first week anyway. When you say a mileage drop are we talking more thank a mile or two per gallon? And do you think that it is worth it to add these products to the car? Should I just go with the K&N for the slight mileage boost and forget the Borla ehhaust? Thanks. Mike in Fl.

Replying to: rayfl502 (Jul 18, 2006 9:36 am) Even just the K&N won't improve mileage. Nothing measurable, anyway. Frankly, all the tests I've read of K&N have turned me away from their products. Good old paper filter for me. From my research while I owned my Z (which was a little while ago now, so maybe its changed ... maybe not) is that the popcharger is the best buy for an intake (JWT was the manufacturer, I believe). Actual dyno comparisons have shown about a 5 hp increase. This will also change the sound. So I'd try that first, see how you like it, and, if its not enough, then look into an exhaust. |

I just became a member and am seriously considering purchasing a 350z most likely and 03/04 depending on the milage and price ( I live in Canada).. 1)Whats an enthusiast package? still get the 18' wheels?.. 2) the roadster that a convertable? 3) any major problems or common problems with these years?

Replying to: cdn_24 (Jul 25, 2006 8:45 pm) Enthusiast is one step up from base. Has cloth seats standard. Can come with either automatic or manual transmission. 2) Roadster, technically, is a two-seat open top car. Convertible is a four-seater. So the 350Z open-top car is a roadster, not a convertible, technically speaking. In practice, people refer to it both ways. 3) the '03's had a lot of problems, the most common was the tire feathering/alignment issue. Given a choice, the '04 is probably a better buy.

Greeting All, Mike here from Pasco Fl, I have just picked up an 04 coupe a month ago and thus far the only problem is with the fuel tank, it will not register below 1/2 tank. So thats being taken care of as we speak. My question is this, and no I have not looked in the owners manuel yet but was hoping to cut a corner by asking here. Is there a way to turn the instrument lights off while the car is running.? Was at drive in the other night with girl and it was hot, OUTSIDE hot. Started car to run air and the lights were a bother when you need it dark. Thanks To All,and you have really nice cars to.
