In my country there are not many 350z's. And I'm 2 meters tall weight just over 100kgs. I'm wondering if I could fit in one comfortably😅. It has always been my dream car and now while I have the money ready, I want to buy it.
Hey everyone looking to buy my first Z. I’m looking at an 07 touring so I can have the HR engine. However a lot of people have told me to get the track edition but I’m not too sure what different apart from the Brembo brake kit. But to my understanding it might even be cheaper for me to add a big brake kit on later. Can someone more knowledgeable of Z’s please let me know all the differences between the two?
Excited to build it to what i want!! Any tips and upkeep recs would be greatly appreciated!!
Got this beautiful car for my beautiful wife, and we're both in love with it. It's her absolute dream car and for 3,500 we couldn't pass it up when we had the funds for it. She's got aftermarket wheels, apparently a nismo lip on the front, and a 1' plenum spacer. She also misfires when idling for more than about 30 seconds which is the issue we're trying to figure out, as the seller had put in brand new fuel injectors, got her compression tested, blowby tested, all sensors, and still couldn't pin down the issue. This is half brag post, half "please-help-me" post. Regardless we love this car and are proud to be a part of the community.
Just did a motor swap from de to revup and typically you have 4 codes and the car idles high. My car runs completely normal and has no codes. Tune was an email tune and I did mention it was not a non rev motor, but a revup but it’s possible that it was forgotten. Only way I see this being possible is if it was flashed a non rev file.
Does this seem fully functional? Bleeding soon and want to know if I should replace the slave cylinder
My Z is throwing 8 codes that all have to do with my exhaust. It’s a catback injen system that the last owner installed. Just bought the car. Would this damag cause the service light?? Resonators are also dented.
Anyone done them? Is it worth doing them, and what would be some pros and cons of it? I can't find any videos of anyone but z1 doing them but no driving reviews.
almost 0 body roll with these BC coilovers
Hey guys, what do you think would be a better option:
Poly subframe bushings, Solid Diff Subframe bushing and Solid Diff bushings
OR
Full poly subframe bushing and diff bushing
The car is purely street driven and I know that solid do increase NVH, but I want some diff whine sounds but also some comfort while driving. Is the solids just too much NVH for street driven or would it be fine with the mix of poly subframe bushings.
Over the weekend at the range I saw a vert park next to me
Having issues with my headlights they have been flickering when driving, i put it in hazard today and I noticed the high beam and low beams just switching back and forth with my passenger headlight, also the taillights don’t light up but the brake lights do. All 4 turn signals have been replaced. Front right side turn signal does not turn on, and the rear clicks rapidly. What can i do? 2008
I have a 06 5at 350z with the stock vlsd, I have swung it a bit but only on a raining day. I know it’s not the best for the auto transmission and I don’t plan on swinging it a lot, Car has 76k miles. So my question is am okay to try to slide it in dry conditions and should I just stay in first gear, or is it okay/able to get loose in 2nd. When I have slid it in the rain I stayed in first and tried to keep under 6k rpm’s but felt like I had to stay high rpm’s to stay broken loose (I’m still learning). I have done all the maintenance and have new spark plugs coming in also, car has 76k miles. I’ve never bounced or hit red line or have put it to the floor completely. Just curious on people’s thoughts.
Looks amazing sideways, so proud of myself for putting this thing together
If you’re having trouble opening your trunk; it might be the hatch springs. On the left are the OEM Nissan 😆 and on the right area the Z1 Motorsport springs 🗿 as you can see there’s a length difference. (Yes I also changed the shocks 🤌🏽) Ran about $70.
Hi guys! I’m in the market to get my seats reupholstered, and get them with new foam inserts. I want to know what everyone opinion is on a fair price to pay for new foam inserts and both seats completely reupholstered in leather? ( I’m only interested in keeping it OEM)
. I wanting to pay a fair price without getting ripped off. (Pic not actual seats)
I think my 350z is honestly shocking, I've serviced it and cleaned out the fuel lines and engine. I'm getting about 17mpg, how about you?
anybody know how to take this off cause im tryna change it this one feels to clunky ,
So I usually drive with the manual shift on a 05 automatic. But for the past couple weeks, i be driving and outta nowhere, my AT light flickers and instead of showing the gear im in, it goes back to D and 1,2nd gear like it cant choose what gear its in. I drive it automatically and i had no trouble at all. I tried to scan it but the flickering last probably 5 seconds and wont store in the ecu
Hey everyone, I was wondering where I could get/source an MCR hoods from. I plan to order it sometime next month/early next year. I dont want to go with fly1 since theyre just the rep version of the hood. Let me know guys thanks in advance.😁
So I have a delema I can either get a new engine for Christmas and my birthday or get more things like a sim racing setup or other parts for my z(I'm pretty sure my 350 needs a new engine its misfiring and I've tried everything but fuel injectors this question is only for if I don't need a new engine)
absolutely fucking nothing. turns out the issue was excessive pre-load from the clutch pack as assembled at OMORI FACTORY.
mechanically everything was absolutely beautiful even after almost a year on it.
this was to diagnose and fix severe wheel hop/axle tramp at low engine speeds and high steering angles; the transmission would snap back into place when the clutch was disengaged.
the input bearing is now making noise because it was loaded improperly, but at least I have somewhere to start.
