Common Nissan 350z 2005 problems
Based on the complaints from owners of the 2005 Nissan 350Z, several common problems have been reported:
- Worn Fuel Damper:
- Many owners have complained about worn fuel dampers causing ticking noises and odd sounds from the engine compartment. Replacing the worn fuel damper on both sides has been a common solution to this issue.
- Engine Problems:
- The 2005 Nissan 350Z has been associated with various engine-related problems such as stalling, excessive oil consumption, crankshaft and camshaft sensor failure, and tapping noises from the engine bay. Some owners have reported engine knocking at 40,000 miles, with some being told it's "normal".
- Rear Wheel Hub Bearings:
- Rear wheel hub bearings have been a concern, leading to howling or humming noises while driving. Checking for play by shaking the tire can help diagnose this issue, and replacement of the hub bearings is necessary if play is detected .
- Transmission Issues:
- Transmission problems, including grinding or crunching sounds during shifting, can indicate synchro wear. Replacing the synchros or the entire transmission may be required, with costs varying depending on the gear .
- Fuel Damper Failure:
- Fuel damper failure can cause stalling, misfiring, and leaks of gasoline or black smoke from the exhaust. Replacing the fuel damper is a relatively inexpensive and straightforward fix, with newer models (2007-2009) having more durable fuel dampers to address this issue.
These common problems with the 2005 Nissan 350Z highlight the importance of regular maintenance and prompt attention to any emerging issues to ensure the longevity and performance of the vehicle.

It's such a fun and stylish car! Although, be prepared for some envious looks from other drivers. The exterior view of this car is so sporty, sexy and intimidating to viewers.
Lamar Goldner 2024-10-28
Great car! It's so much fun to drive. The only downside is that the seats could be a bit longer. Also, when filling up the car with gas, it tends to splash back on you and the car, which can be a bit annoying. But overall, it's a fantastic car to drive!
Jamarcus Stroman 2024-10-23
This is my third Z and I am even more impressed each time. I've had a hardtop, T-tops, and now a convertible. I absolutely love it and can't wait to take it for a spin again. I take the long way home just to make the experience last longer. My Z totally makes my day and improves my mood after a long hard day at the office. I can actually forget about work once I get in. It's fast and fun. Taking corners is a blast! The GPS is a must-have, especially if you are logistically challenged! The stereo is impressive and the value is beyond incredible. At this price point, it's a major steal!
Benjamin Hickle 2024-10-21
I'm 55 years old and have always had a second car since my teenage years and into my late 20s. I've owned a go-to-school model and a few sporty cars, including a GTO (1969) and a Cuda, which was the first one off the assembly line. After taking a hiatus, I recently got my new second car, and it's pure dynamite! Living in South Florida, I can pull this baby out of the garage when the temperature is cool enough and drive all night with the cool breezes blowing through my now balding head. The radio is unbelievable, the handling is great, and the ride is pure delight! The price was great, and the thrill is even better!
Halle Schimmel 2024-10-10
It sounds like you have a fantastic car with impressive power! I've never driven a car with such head-turning ability before. Comparing it to your Corvette, it seems like this car is a smoother ride. It must be a real treat just to get in and drive it.
