Hi, My 2012 370z Cat heat shield have eroded and are causing a knocking sound. I cant seem to find replacement parts and wondered if they were necessary and if so, has anyone used any alternative method if the replacement parts aren't available? 1st pic of erosion 2nd pic of parts I need Thanks, G

Welcome to the OC. Good to hear there are people still willing and able to show these cars some love. Post up pics of your Zed's journey to inspire others👍

After 20 years ownership, my clutch finally surrendered after it's last "send" at the M6 toll gate. It all started well. Windows down as I tapped to pay the toll fee. Barrier went up. Revved her up and dumped the clutch and we were off. Smiling like a Cheshire Cat as she took off , VQ trumpeting away sweetly through my Scorpion exhaust. Changed to 2nd..... Revs climbing sweetly Reached for 3rd......WTF! Was as if I was Captain Kirk with Scotty telling me "The dilithium crystals are smoking.......she canny take any more Captain" Smelt that nasty burning clutch smell and it just wouldn't hook up. Tried 4th gear.....NADA. Tried 5th then 6ht.....NADA. Just revved with no power. After a couple seconds she finally engaged 6th and I cruised her gently back to Manchester. It had had the odd slip before anyway so I bit the bullet and had a new clutch, dual mass flywheel, slave and master cylinder fitted. Garage told me it was a nightmare it was to bleed. Drove home and after 30 min the clutch pedal wouldn't come back up without me flicking it back up with my foot. Back it went to the garage. Pedal felt 90% better but again garage said they struggled to get any pedal feels at all to begin with and they "think" it's good but to bring it back if any problems......very confidence inspiring....NOT Alas, same story. After spirited driving for 15in I lost pedal feel. So I returned to the garage again armed with some tips from @davey_83 and another zed friend. The garage was amazed...... INSTANT SUCCESS 1. Was to pre fill the slave cylinder with fluid. 2 Was to bleed the clutch using the attached guide Hope this helps people who have similar bleeding woes.

Welcome back to the OC. Alot of O.G members names being mentioned which brings back so many good memories. I remember the the old days with the "other" forum headed by Giles and his NA tuned 350z. I actually joined there first and moved to here about a year later when Giles got an R35 and they changed to "Nissansprtz" I've seen my Zed forum experience change over 2 decades from the heady excitement hearing everyone's experience with "Collinite" car wax, importing Nismo LMGT4 wheels on group buys via member/traders like ESR. Now as I squint trying to type this as I can't find my reading glasses I'm more reading about people's battles with rot and rust........ failing parts, and how hard a time new members are having trying to find a half decent 350z to buy. THE JOYS OF GETTING OLD

Hello. looking to buy lhd EU halogen lights. with E mark oem.

I’m looking for some fasteners for my wide arches on my 350z. Any recommendations? Was gonna get zspec ones but looking to see if there’s any others around. Cheers.

Nismo made 300 (think they only ended up makeing 276) homologation cars for a race series. Using the JDM 2007/8 z33 Nismo chassis which had some extra welding to strengthen the chassis, a load of nismo parts to it , bodywork, suspension, exhaust. They then added a 3.8L forged engine making 350bhp (detuned for the road cars ). The race cars were 400bhp. I now buy these instead of paying into a pension 🤣

Thanks for the replies Guys. I will have to learn how to do Photo's. It's kind of difficult as i only have a company e mail address and no e mail or wassap on my phone so i really need to become a tad more teckie. Just took delivery of a facelift Convertible engine donor so hopefully will have the Golden beast on the road v soon. I have loads of photo's on my phone and on a memory card so will sort out how to post them asap. Got a major surgery on the 23rd followed by 6 weeks recovery so that qwill be the ideal time for a tech self education session 🙂

Wouldn't say no 👀. At least once the £3000+ warranty is paid 😆

OMG, it was so nice and quiet in here until a few days ago. 🤦‍♂️

Ok, whats a 380RS???

They are 20" BBS LMR. Had to get them custom made to match the Amuse Superleggera car as you cant get them in the correct spec. amuse used a pcd convertor on their car which I didn't want to do.

£70-£80k buys you a decent McLaren 570s…

He should get real and put the price at 40k cut his losses. Its not 2022 anymore the hypes kind of died.... People do want it but not at 50k. You can probably squeeze a nice M4 comp xdrive, M2, M3 all G series, Audi TTRS, RS5, 2021 RS3, Porsche Cayman 981 GT4 and much more for 50k. As you said C63, AMG GTS 2015/2016. 718 GTS 4.0 if youre lucky. For the price of that Z. Cars are cheap in UK compared to elsewhere tbh. I mean a Quadrifoglio at 30k, even some nice Aston martins with a warranty at 50k. People in Malaysia and Singapore pay 2-3 times the price. We are lucky somewhat...

Lol, https://www.pistonheads.com/news/electric-vehicles/xiaomi-su7-ultra-beats-taycan-turbo-gt-ring-time/49949

What wheels are they Paul?

Yeah my Zeditus has only got worse over the years. Got 3 🤭

Let's talk 😁

lol you're welcome to buy mine after I get something else

Torqen have the spoiler off their demo, drop them an IM. Think it's along the lines of what you are looking for. I did have a look at it but I'm after a carbon duck bill myself.

Had this for a while but forgot to post it on here, my custom show plate the kanji on the bottom left is a "Z" the word up top says Nissan, 34 because its a Z34 and 370 for obvious reasons. I'd really like a different spoiler - something more like the one my friend with the skyline has in this pic - anyone got any recommendations?

You've got a few 380rs cars??? 😱

Hey, i was wondering if you could make the video public so i can compare it. I think i might have this exact problem.

Hello I think it’s the alternator but before I waste my money on fixing it can someone else help me? The day before yesterday my radio was going in and out but car was driving fine then yesterday car was perfect went to get five guys then I go back to the car lights were on my dash and all but I tried to start it then click everything went black and lights woudlnt come back on the dash. I bought a brand new battery and same thing lights came on dash and then I try to start it click and then that battery is dead now. The tow truck brought a jumper pack and it started but when he takes the positive off it dies instantly. Could this be my positive terminal? Or alternator?

Hello idk if you’ll ever see this but im having the same issue right now. Are you able to help me fix it? I don’t understand what you mean by the fuse by the positive terminal
