	On the 370 auto gearbox as any one changed the oil and filter with after market filter and had problems removing filter holding fasteners or retightening them 
</p>

<p>
	some one said don’t change it because one of the fasteners is held with a nut inside the spool which turns so you can’t retighten it 
</p>

<p>
	thought  they  were all set screws 
</p>

<p>
	mines done 30k so would like to change oil   Thanks 
</p>

	As any one changed oil in 370 auto gearbox with filter change 
</p>

<p>
	and used after market filter and had problems refitting filter ,not being able to tighten set screws or bolts because the nut holding it spins so it won’t tighten
</p>

<p>
	all the videos I have seen all the fasteners look like set screws 
</p>

<p>
	thanks

	The standard cats have a captive screw for fitting to the bracket that bolts across the underside of the transmission bellhousing.  Hope I've explained that well enough.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I've had to fit the standard cats back on as I've got one of those cars that just can't pass an MOT with 300 cel HFCs despite how hot I get it and how much cat/injector cleaner I put in the fuel.  Best I've got the Co2 is 0.4%. My inspector is visibly willing it to pass every retest.  Lamba and HC pass.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I've put the standard CATs back on for a re-re-re-test but I can't find the nuts for the captive bolts.  It looks close to an M10 but an M10 won't fit.  Anyone know the size?  Imperial maybe?
</p>

	My 370 has 43000 mls on the clock. At high revs and 'play' mode there is a smell of clutch plate burn. Around town it is faultless with no slip and lots of pull. If i was to replace the clutch would you recommend the dual mass flywheel, the friction plate and pressure plate be swapped?
</p>

	Hi to all, Hope somebody can please help me this one is driving me crazy. I have purchased this 370z with an overheating problem, I have replaced the thermostat and now removed It just for test purposes, I have drained and refilled the system múltiple times using all the bleed processes I could find (bleed screw on radiator, very slow filling, high burp funnel and vaccum filling), every time I refill I have bubbles coming out of the system mainly after light reving of the engine (run for nearly 3 hours and still have bubbles), assuming It was going to be a head gasket I have done 3 chemical tests all negative (one on the expansión tank, one on the main cap, and one with little coolant in the system on the main cap) Also tested the tester by putting It in the end of the exhaust and It changes colour instantly) Also disconnectd all pipes etc and blown through with compressed air in case of a blockage. Any help would be much apreciated and I apologize if this posted in the wrong section. Many thanks. 
</p>

	<span>Going to replace the rear axle nuts with the Kawasaki ones. Any info on the washers I could use, size/substitute? There is no way £8.79 for one washer is justified. Any tips from people that did it themselves welcome. I guess I have to do stuff myself if I want it to be done properly. I left a car at a 'jap cars specialists' (no names) and literally told them what the problem and solution is but they just told me they can regrease the CV joint boots. I will provide photos and description in this thread for others when I'm done</span>

	Hi all,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I will be replacing the diff bushes, W brace, rear wheel bearing hubs over the coming weeks but I am struggling to find any official advice/instructions for torque settings, probably because I'm terrible at this internet thing <span class="ipsEmoji">🤦‍♂️</span> Can anyone confirm the following please
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Rear diff bush mount
</p>

<p>
	Front diff bush (ears?)
</p>

<p>
	Diff to driveshaft bolts
</p>

<p>
	Diff to axel shafts
</p>

<p>
	Axel nut
</p>

<p>
	Axel hub mount
</p>

<p>
	Wheel lug nuts
</p>

<p>
	W brace bolts
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Is there a Nissan document somewhere online that can be shared at all?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Thanks to anyone that can help!

	Not that it matters, it's being replaced with an invidia gemini, but does anyone know the purpose of the two round rubber pads on the Y pipe of the stock exhaust? 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	They look like mounts but there was nothing fitted there on my car, and looking through dozens of exhaust fitting videos on YT there isn't on any 370z

	Hello there, joined the forum as I might be interested in buying the 370z in few months. I don't want to exclude the ones before the facelift but gallery gaskets aren't something I'd be able to fix myself. Do you know any place you can recommend that does it somewhere across Devon/Cornwall (ideally not too far from Plymouth)? Thinking about changing them right after buying the car just to be safe. I was thinking about just mounting the oil pressure gauge after the purchase and leaving it as is if the pressure is fine but from what I read it's a matter of when, not if. Thanks in advance

</p>

<p>
	I have a mis-fire, turns out my loom had melted due to a coil lead being trapped and arching apparently, I have had a new coil loom fitted but still mis-fire, in conversation, true or not?... that the earth straps can cause a mis-fire?, has anyone had any experience of this?
</p>

<p>
	I am having the crank sensors checked, any other simple things to check before it starts costing again...... I have had new plugs and coil packs...... always use the good petrol and not supermarket..... whether that actually helps or not but.... any help would be greatly appreciated folks<br />
	<br />
	Thanks

	Hi all, I'm looking to replace my break pads/wheels soon as well as thinking about services in the future and I wondered if anyone has any highly recommended garages near the Thurrock area please? Currently I go through the Nissan garages which is fine but I was wondering which are the most highly recommended - happy to travel slightly further afield if recommended, thank you.

	I have just bought a 2005 convertible with 100,000 on the clock and in good condition.
</p>

<p>
	For the first mile the oil pressure will show 70psi when accelerating and 35 on tickover. These figures drop to 60 and 25 with hot oil and I wondered if that was as expected?
</p>

<p>
	There are no bad noises coming from the engine and it does seem to go quite well.
</p>

<p>
	Any comments or other suggestions will be welcome.
</p>

<p>

	Well returned from Nissan who quoted me £6700 but the tech hinted that I should go to a specialist repairer. Nissan just want to replace whole hydraulic system when probably a seal leaking fluid. See below one strut leaking. Another mechanic is looking over. Any one have recommendations of a specialist roof repairer.

	I can only think Spark plugs and gearbox oil may be changed or I may end up paying less if those dont need doing. Couldn't get through to London West RRG...Phone lines are crap.

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Looking to get a few things done on my Zed given it's coming up to my 3rd year of ownership - oh how time flies!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Mainly, I'm looking to get the JWT lightened flywheel and clutch kit from Torqen, as well as pads and discs all around (most probably EBC).
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I've seen RT recommended here, but was wondering if there were any recommended spots even more central?
</p>

	Does anyone know what grade/spec of engine oil is preferred on the MY 19' Nismo? I have my major service due this month, and been quoted £550 for parts &amp; labour at Nissan.. But as I work in a Factor, I'm thinking of supplying my own parts (OE quality obvs) but they won't tell the oil grade??

	Hi guys, now getting the Zed out from hibernation to take for mot. However I have noticed that the 2 side windows both drop when opening the doors but do not return back up when I shut them. Is this likely to be something stuck and needing lubricating ( have fired Mecoil into locks with no success) 
</p>

<p>
	Any half or info greatly appreciated 
</p>

	Hi all
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I'm shortly going to throw big handfuls of cash into my z-shaped moneypit and have the underside restored. Everything's coming off, fuel tank, subframe, the works.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	When it's reassembled it makes sense to take the opportunity to replace bushes along the way. The subframe bushes are obvious but there are so many options for various kits I don't know where to start. Would you just go for a full kit for the rear suspension?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Also I've really no need for poly bushes but I'm strong to find OEM stuff...
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Advice gratefully received!
</p>

<p>
	Thanks.
