  1. If i get this exhaust, will i get rid of that unique exhaust note that all vq35 engines have (g35 350z fx35)
  2. here is are some pictures of the problem and i have already pmed alex
  3. Oil was checked by the dealer again today and they said it is at the correct level. the dealer used their own shell helix ultra soemthing oil full synthetic 5w30. i will probably get a new oil level sensor soon... thank you all for your help!
  4. they are blaming the installation of the HID conversion kit that i threw after the service. so the HID conversion kit will not cause this right? it is more likely due to them changing my oil? can someone also tell me how i can access the sensor? where it is located? can i do by just opening the hood or do i have to get under the car...
  5. disturb the sensor meaning.... loose connection? and yes, the filter was changed by the dealer. is the car okay to drive with faulty sensor? or does this reading affect how the car drives?
  6. My pressure is at constant 110 psi. and with just a light tap on the gas peday, it goes above 120 (which is mas) i did a search and it says its because of the oil pressure sensor. is this true? is the car okay to drive when the gauge is reading 110psi? does the car behave differently with 110 psi reading? i just did the P1 service yesterday and everything looked okay (but thats before my sensor decided to fail on me)
  7. Is this light pattern correct? how come mine seems to be a lil different from other people's light pattern. and also, why is there a concentrated light on each lamp? are my bulbs installed upside down? or are they alright?

    MPG?

    im on my 1st fill up. im getting 14.5mpg, is this normal? i do a bit of mixed driving city and motorway..... should i be concerned? im not revving it to 5000rpm btw, 2000-4000rpm i've just done P1 at the dealership (changed oil, oil fiter, and air filter) could this be the problem of plugs not done? im at 67k miles.
  11. rx8 has its pros and cons. Pros: the handling on the rex is amazing. especially in high speed (the car just sticks to the ground going at around 120mph). the 9000 rpm redline is just music to the ears. Cons: low torque (compensated by higher hp in the higher rpm range) which means that the rex is not as fast as the zed. the gas consumption and oil consumption on the rex is also HORRIBLE! if your pockets arent deep enough, stay away from the REX. just the oil and gas will burn a hole in ur wallet... but other than that, the rex is good (but not as fast as the zed)
  12. i have been moving my seats back and forth.... where is this block that you are talking about? and what should i be doing? please elaborate. or pictures would be greatly appreciated! thank you for your help!
  13. does anyone know what is connected to the wheel bearing? does the following connect to the wheel bearing? OES Genuine Front, Passenger Side, Lower Control Arm for 193 USD
  14. i have seen 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z - Timken Front Wheel Hub Assembly for 143USD are these as good as the genuine nissan parts?
  15. sunset: snapped connection means what? just the connectors loose?
  16. Took it to the dealership and they said i need to replace the wheel bearing and control arm. they showed me the problem and the oil/gunk was surrounding the wheel bearing and control arm. do i really need to have the control arm replaced? does anyone know where i can order these parts?
  17. i did a search and found that airbag flashing could be due to a fuse problem. would this b a problem in my case?
  18. Hi, i have performed a search on the forum and found out that one could clear the light with the diagnostic procedure... however, after putting it into the diagnostic procedure, i still could not take the flashing light off. the light pattern in diagnostic mode was long pause -> long light -> pause pause -> blink blink does anyone know what this means? also, i have brought it into the dealership for service and they ran a computer scan and i copied down what was written B1052 Driver airbag module (short) they have hence quoted me the following prices Airbag Module +Wiring 1080 GBP and i also have a problem with the horn! it does not make any sounds!!! is my car okay to drive with the flashing airbag sign? will airbags still deploy?
  19. do these fit a 2004 base model from USA? mine is scratched and i would like to replace it.
  20. well, after a day of driving im now use to the 3.5L enging sound! sounds sweet indeed
  21. I just purchased a 67K miles 350z and coming from an RX-8 with the rotary engine, the Z seems to be a lot louder. is this normal? if i take the rpm up to like 3500+ the interior gets really loud!
  22. did a search on what fluids i need to purchase for service and here is what i found Engine: 5W-30 Manual Transmission: SAE 75W-85 API GL4+ Diff (lsd): SAE J306 : 80W-90 API GL-5 However, i am on opieoils and they have different fluids. for example Castrol Edge TD 5w-40 Castrol Syntrax Universal 75w-90 semi-synthetic gear oil Castrol Response Dot 4 Synthetic Brake Fluid are these right? also what brands would you recommend me using? i dont mind paying a little extra for better stuff. Thank you!
  23. one thing that made me want to study in poland was so that i can travel europe! i've been to near by countries such as germany, czech and hungary. this summer im planning on visiting western europe
