The 2003 Nissan 350Z Base was introduced to compete in the coupe market. The Base is a member of a series of five trim levels for the 350Z which include Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring, and Track. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Nissan. There is strong competition from vehicles from Lexus.
Nissan 350Z Engine Specs
Nissan 350Z Engine Specs: The 350Z Base comes outfitted with a 3.5 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 24 valves. The engine, manufactured by Nissan, is teamed up with a Nissan 6-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Nissan.
The fuel system for the 2003 350Z is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 20.00 gallons.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The 350Z has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The dimensions of the 350Z Base are 71.50 inches wide by 169.40 inches long. It sits a comfortable 51.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 104.30 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The listed retail price in 2003 (MSRP) was $26,370, with an invoice cost of $24,663. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.
The standard warranty period for the 350Z is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 60 months or 60,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.
Fuel Efficiency
The 2003 350Z gets 26 miles/gallon on the highway and only 20 in the city. This is exceptional for a coupe car.
We Think…
The 2003 model year was telling year for the Nissan 350Z. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
