  1. Does anyone have a JDM or USDM rear bumper for sale? The ones with the square plate recess.

     

    Looking for an OEM plastic one - no aftermarket thanks.

     

    Not bothered on colour as it will be painted, but needs to be in good condition with all mounting points OK.

     

    Thanks :)

  2. Hi all,

     

    Ever since owning my 350Z (3 years now) I've had the EML come on intermittently, say once every 3-6 months, always with the same codes;

     

    P1146

    P1147

    P1166

    P1167

     

    These all point to O2 sensors from what I can find but I'm not sure which ones as the 350Z has 2 on each bank.

     

    The car itself has some engine mods - Popcharger, Plenum spacer, Berk HFCs, Nismo S-tune exhaust and UpRev. It's a 2004 with 110k miles (had 80k when I bought it). Has failed MOT on emissions a couple times - assumed this was because of HFCs but now not so sure.

     

    Is this normal behaviour for a 350Z with HFC and other engine mods? Or should I look to be replacing the O2 sensors, and if so which ones??

     

    Thanks in advance for any help and advice :)

  3. Hi Mike, I'm from Plymouth myself :) My Zed used to be Azure Blue but has recently (past few months) gone to matt white, you may have seen it around? What Zed do you drive out of interest?

     

    As for garages, I take my baby down to Rhino Motors at Cattedown. They have done the clutch and flywheel for me and were very reasonable on price and great work :) Their website is www.rhinomotors.co.uk for all contact info etc

  4. Yeah that might not be a bad idea. I did mention it to my garage before and they thought it could be something to do with the diff. Said they owned a few cars before with similar problems and its more hassle than its worth to fix. They didn't properly look into it tho. I was just wondering if this was something anyone else had experienced with a Zed.

     

    I'm based in Devon :)

  5. Hi Scott, welcome :)

     

    I'm from Devon too, located in Plymouth. 8000 is a decent budget to have, I purchased my Zed a couple years back for 6500. If you have a look in the Technical section there are a few threads that mention "known issues" with the Zeds. Most of these problems are small and easily fixable :) Generally speaking they are very reliable, solid cars :) Absolutely love mine :D

  6. Hi all,

     

    Bit of a strange one, that has always happened since I've owned my Zed (coming up to 2 years now).

     

    When accelerating normally under normal driving conditions, when I change gear sometimes you can hear the engine revs fluctuate and the rev needle itself actually wobbles up and down a bit. Its almost as if you've done a really bad gear change to too high a gear or something, even if you havent. Its hard to explain.

     

    However... when driving the car flat out and changing gear, its absolutely fine. I think the rev needle still wobbles a bit for some reason but the engine note doesnt fluctuate, it just pulls hard.

     

    The car has had a brand new (Exedy) clutch fitted in the past year and a new LUK DMF as well as I suspected these were the cause. Unfortunately this made no difference! :( The car is currently on 103,000 miles and I bought her on 80,000.

     

    Any idea what this could be? I'd love to get it fixed :)

  7. Hi all,

     

    Unfortunately someone has tried to steal the "Z" on our boot from the 350Z badge and snapped half of it off!! :(

     

    Im hoping someone has recently de-badged their Zed and may have a spare "Z" or even the full "350Z" badge available that I could purchase to get ours back to looking normal again :D

     

    If anyone can help please PM me with details or reply on this thread.

     

    Many thanks :)
