Finally got my car I have been wanting, a brand new 2004 350Z. Black with black interior. Was a surprise here is how it went:

On the way to go to the show in a town 30 minutes from our hometown:
Me: OMG there goes another freaking 350Z baby.
Wife: Yea, it's a pretty color.
Me: I'm going to get one one day just wait and see.
Wife: Go get one now.
Me: Don't play games.
Wife: Go get one.
Me: WTF, don't play games. You know if I goto that dealership and they approve it I am going to walk away with it.
Wife: Ok
Me: Ok then, you just better be sure your ready to trade in the SUV and drive the Sentra some.
Wife: I wanna ZIP ZIP ZIP around town so go ahead.

3 hours later we are driving home in the new 350Z woot. Washed it today, bought $100 in cleaning crap to wash it tomorrow and wax it.

....wife is gone to work in it, I got the Sentra right now though :tears

Hi. I work at a local dealerships for Nissan 14 years. we are having a big problem with the 350z. the front tires on the car is wearing out at 8.000.00 miles 10.000.00.This Nissan 350z is a good car but we are having problem with tires. on this car. The most important thing you can do.is to check the proper air in the tires. need to run 35 pounds air for the tires.

It's the hardtop Acid. And Timbo you are referring to this:

Tire Feathering - Due to the fact theres too much camber (wheels tilted slightly in at the top) causes the inside of the tires to wear faster than the rest of it. The type of wearing isn't your typical wear either, it starts to cause cupping which in turn causes a lot of roadnoise at highway speeds. Nissan has not yet released a true TSB for this, only pretty much suggest getting an Alignment to check Toe-In. Sounds as if they're also trying to avoid a recall for every Z. But to those who have considerable road noise and need new tires. I've heard Nissan replacing those tires after calling NNA.

Does the alignment seem to actually help any like suggested?

Also in relation to the tire issue:

Pulling - Nissan has released another TSB which states if the vehicle pulls, while traveling at 60mph on highway type surfaces and all 4 wheels cross into the other lane with no driver input for 7 seconds. They will replace a rod to help solve this. Sounds like a semi-fix for the Tirefeathering also.
