Default Prospective 370z Owner with a Couple Questions

Hello all!

As the title states, I am looking into the 370z as my next car. I currently drive a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline. Its been a great car (and still is), but I think I am ready to upgrade. I went and test drove a 350z NISMO Edition last week and it was a blast! I would love to get a 370z NISMO, but would most likely get a used non-NISMO Edition 370z.

Seeing as how you guys and gals are the experts on these cars, I was wondering if you could answer a few questions that I have:
  1. Is there anything I should be looking at when it comes to these cars? Parts that are known to be faulty, etc.? On the 2004 and early 2005 model Ion Redlines, the intercooler pump was wired backwards, causing the pump to die prematurely. It was an easy and affordable fix, but just something to be aware of when looking at buying one.
  2. Is there a strong after-market following for these cars? When the time comes to start modding my 370z, will I have a lot of options?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Where to start,

Well the paint on the 370z is a joke. Hard right turns with less then 3/4 tank you'll hit fuel starvation. with out a oil cooler you will over heat under hard driving, oh and get ready to spend a shi* ton of $$ if your planing on modding there is a very large after market following,

With all the cons on the Z I will say every time I drive it's a blast.

Use the search option and start reading.
