A&Q about 350Z
Q:
I have a 97 Nissan truck w/ a 4 cylinder, and several simple repairs/maintenance (e.g. thermostat, oil filter) are a royal pain in the ass. Alot of parts have to be removed to access the thermostat and installing it is basically done blind. This is difficult when you have a bead of RTV on the cover.
I'm wondering how difficult the 350Z is to work on. It is a fairly small car with a large DOHC V6, so I would imagine the engine bay would be extremely cramped. Can anyone offer an opinion? I'm thinking of getting one.
A:
Not more difficult than the average sportscar. The engine isn't that big, and the chassis isn't that small. Regular maint. like oil/filter changes are pretty simple. Considering the oldest car is 3 years old, not a whole lot you are going to have to do for a while anyway.
