Hi all, I have an 05 Nissan 350z. Recently the engine nearly overheated as I noticed the temperature gauge go higher than it should. I've had a friend take a look at it who is a mechanic (but not too familiar with 350z's) and he noticed that both radiator fans werent functioning. Now he found this surprising and said it was rare for both fans to go at the same time. We did a few checks on fuses etc and everything seemed OK. My question to the guys here is: 1. Is this a common issue? 2. Is there something else which could be at play which I should take a look at? 3. Thinking of repairs, is replacing the fans a straight forward job that most mechanics can do? (I usually use Horsham Developments but they're pretty far)

Thanks for the suggestions guys I've had a quick check by pushing the rear of the car up and down (each side one at a time) and no noise, I've also looked at the video posted in the thread linked above and the noise is not the same as that. The noise is more higher pitched and more of a squeal. It sounds like the brakes and only happens occasionally when braking at slow speeds

Hi guys, My 350z underwent a p3 service and brake pad change about 6 weeks ago I've noticed the rear squeeking on the odd ocassion when braking at slow speeds, I was wondering whether this is due to new brake pads or something else as it doesnt always occur when braking

Hi guys, Sorry I totally forgot to manage this thread. Benjy88 - apologies for not getting back to you mate, JB-UK pm'ed me lightning quick to nab them! Thread closed given these are sold + delivered.

Hi guys, I've got a brand new Brembo brake pad set for front and rear tyres. They are boxed and unopened. I originally bought 2 sets (one for my 350z and one for a friends), he forgot to take them with him when getting his car serviced so the garage ended up providing a set (doh!) So here I am selling the set. As mentioned they're fully boxed and unopened. Pictures below. I am looking for £50 + P&P for the full set (thats a saving of £30!) I am located in West London / Central London for collection if wanted otherwise payment via Bank transfer/ paypal (you pay fees).

I didn't realise camskill were doing £20 voucher for petrol! Will contact them to see if I am still eligible Ended up paying £15 per tyre including balancing/alignment etc

Right guys Ive just a new rear set of Bridgestones from Camskills but I now need to get them fitted. 1. How much should fitting cost for 2 tyres (or per tyre cost?) 2. Does anyone have any recommendations of places to go (west london/Berkshire) or online mobile fitters? 3. Are all fitting jobs the same i.e. If I go anywhere will they do tracking/alignment etc or is that a separate job?

Guys, Need some advice on getting a P3 service done for my 05 350z (105k miles) + MOT Any recommendations on 1. who to visit in the Slough/Berkshire/Heathrow area? 2. Cost

Guys, Im considering getting this headunit for my 05 350z http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-4-0-Car-Stereo-DVD-Player-3G-WIFI-GPS-Navigation-Double-Din-TouchScreen-/140896822861?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 Its double din Android Head unit. I wanted to ask the following questions 1. Will this Headunit fit in the 350z? (Ive read something about depth issues. 2. Anyone ever used cheap chinese headunits from ebay? 3. The best source for wiring up to existing Bose speakers and steering wheel controls (link in sticky not working). 4. Any other issues I should be aware of when fitting? Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys. It's not a matter of affording it, as some members mentioned I am considering parting with the car in about 6 months, the eBay auction merely got me intruiged when I was looking around for how much a clutch will cost. Of course i wouldn't say the clutch was 'new' if reselling. The car isn't my daily driver, and I do still need to find a garage to do the work. I will most likely go with a new clutch and flywheel as its probably better to have the job done right first time.

Oh ok fair enough, I was under the impression if you change the clutch the flywheel changes too? - Is that not correct? At the moment the symptoms are clutch slipping i.e in gear 1 the revs pick up alot faster than the speed

Looks like il be needing to change the clutch on my 350z (06 model) soon, Just waiting on reply from zmanalex for clutch and flywheel cost thought I'd have a quick google/ebay and saw someone with a used clutch + flywheel http://www.ebay.co.u...091990c8&_uhb=1 I know what most guys would think and say just get a new one but would it be worthwhile giving it a punt (reason I am considering it is because I may be moving abroad in 6months hence selling the car).

My leather seats are starting to look a bit shabby (nothing major, just noticed a few extra cracks etc more towards the side of the seat when I enter the car) Anything that can be used to maintain the leather?

Im pretty sure its not the valve, I put a tiny bit of soapy water on the front and nothing was really happening to indicate a leaky valve, unless thats not the right way to check?

Hi guys I need some advice regarding a slow puncture: I'm losing about 10psi over 24hours, I am thinking I will get it repaired and replace the tyres in about 6 months (when I was planning to replace them all around) I currently have Bridgestone Potenza's all around and would like to replace them all in one go so they are same brand + tread Should a repair be ok for this time period and how much should I be paying?
