Update: I was about to get my car on the axle stands today to take the starter motor out. But before i did i tried starting it... and it magical roars back into life! I turned it off and on several times and it's fine, so now i'm confused. Any ideas why this would happen? Its been warmer than it has been the last couple of days so I'm not sure if its cold that caused it??? Anyway thanks for everyones help.

Right i didn't think it was possible but you can bump start a 350z with some help from my dad and brother. Took it for a spin made sure the battery was charging came back stopped the engine, guess what it wont start so it looks like its the starter motor. So how much is new/preownd ones? are they difficult to replace? Any guides out there? Thanks ZMANALEX maybe looking to get a one.

wow fast replies, yer got the clutch down when starting it and didn't put any cheap petrol in and its warmed up now so i doubt its frozen. its showing 12volts on the gauge in the car, was thinking it was something with the starter motor will have to try that GIXXERUK thanks

Hey everyone, After a very cold morning -8, i went to start the Z to go to work. It refused to start it just made a click sound from the engine, then all the power goes. All the light on dash will turn on but when i go to start it, it cuts out. Anyway i thought it would be the battery so i got a new one and swapped it. But i get the exact same problem as before. it seems like the power is cutting out when i try to start it. its like its shorting out or something. Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks Steve
