aaaaahh why did i start this i wasnt sure about manual was swaying towards manual a bit and now i really dont know...i think auto wont be so bad...i dont know ...aaaaaaaaaa

thanks for moving it and yea im manual all the way especially with performance cars i had (rx7,wrx) but just wondered...is there that much difference?

im hunting for a 350z and seen some really nice automatic versions, i just wondered if anyone can give me some feedback on auto version? i know it will be a tiny bit slower in corners as you wont be able to pop it to the right gear but is it that much of a difference? in a sraight line i supposed it would be a bit faster woulndt it? and what about manitenance?

hehe nice, ill probably be looking something that had these changed but we will see as im not afraid of high mileage anymore (thanks to you guys) i would assume these zeds will have it done at some point(hopefully) if not - well ill just have to spend some cash. - just wanted to be prepared i used to drive a sexy rx7 few years back (had to go when first child came) and wasnt prepared for anything, ended up spending 4 times what the car was worth back then (not just repairs its including modifications) so i am not afraid of doing work to the car but will try to make sure it will be the east work possible

Milton Keynes mate send , mine is still not sold so waiting to get rid of it first Cheers guys £800 doesnt sound ridiculous but its good to know that i might have to spend it after few months of use

Yes, chances are that the dual-mass flywheel will be on the way out. If not then sods law says it will give up not long after you change the clutch. Get a solid flywheel as its cheaper and it makes the car more responsive. Downside is a little 'chatter' at low revs but its only a noise and not a problem. Rev pickup is much better. . Your budget is ok but then 'wasting' it by going for the lowest mileage defeats the point. Don't be afraid of high miles, you won't be spending any more to fix any niggles and you have more for all the fun bits you will want to get. thank you so assuming im buying one with no clutch change and no flywheel change and it fails after 6 months, what cost am i looking at to get these done? (ive seen the thread with pricing from like 2003 but just want to know what budget i need to have prepared)

Wow I didnt exexpect such a great response. Thanks alot guys I read everything and definitely got a better idea of what to expect. Btw is flywheel replacement a common thing? With regards to my budget I am selling my car for £5500 so I would put all in hence im thinking only higher mileage car. But seen some 70k ones in this range aswell so just want to make sure I knoe how much it will cost me in 10k and stuff

Hi guys just wanted to ask something i will be buying a zed in about a month time (need to sell my car) i went through all the guides and kind of know what to look for when buying one but i just wondered, there isnt much info about certain mileages o this car, as in what needs to be done, i know about clutch at around 40 k but i think i will be looking a t a zed with around 100k on the clock (unless i can get any lower fro my budget). Are there any things that you have to check on the car with this mileage? things that would have to be replaced by then? 100k isnt alot for zeds is it? i just want to know what i am getting myself into if you gonna tell me that at this stage car needs engine rebuilt id like to know how much more id need to spend Thanks
