Awe, the Z is my recreation car still! These are all real pics. My fiance (6spd) took them a couple weeks ago.

Any mods planned ?

My last car before my Z was a 2009 Altima Coupe 3.5 SE. I liked it a lot, aside from the fact that I let the dealer talk me out of finding one with a manual transmission. Adding front strut and rear sway bars made the car much more fun to drive than I even expected. It was a good looking car, but the 2010-2012s are much better looking IMO. Yours is especially nice. Enjoy!

Nice shots!

Yummy

Ah the rare 3.5 altima coupe! I swear I've only ever seen 2 of those in the wild.

I do like the rear G35 type looking tail lights. Does this have the VQ in it?

My wife has a 2010, she loves it but we have had some problems already. The head gaskets were leaking coolant so they pulled the motor and replaced those under warranty. Just took it in yesterday for a weird trans slip or jump at low speeds and now they are going to replace the trans at 55K. I'm worried about the long term reliability of this car.

No real problems with my Z though.

Dzel · 04-28-2013, 04:06 PM

Did you purchase it used?

I thought about getting a manual, but the Z is a manual so I figured the automatic will be nice when it comes to traveling. And it still has a lot of pep. I didn't think about replacing the sway bars, but thanks for mentioning it! I'll probably look into that too.

Yikes, sorry to hear about your wife's car. Maybe a lemon? Hopefully you get it all straightened out because those miles are way too low to be having those problems.

Headgasket leaks seem typical for the 2007+ 3.5s in the Altima (and the Murano/Maxima as well). I had a 2008 3.5SE sedan and mine were done at 64k under warranty. The CVT seems to be hit or miss. Some last while others give out early on.

OP....I would recommend you check your headgaskets for a small leak while you're still under warranty. Easiest way is to get under the car and look up at each headgasket. You'll see green crusty residue around each head if it's leaking. It's typically a small slow seep, and you probably won't have any issues if it wasn't replaced, but I'm anal about my cars and it bothered me knowing it was there.
