Recently fitted a new battery to the wife's Qashqai *Bosch S5 and was taken back by how much keener the engine starts. Not wanting the 350z to feel left out thought I'd treat her to a Bosch S4, which is the largest unit that'll fit in the battery tray. Existing Platinum 005L was fitted under warranty in Nov 2015 and served it's time well. Think it died once and since I've maintained with a ctek mxs 5.0 with battery conditioner function. Battery specifications: Old - New - Platinum 005L Bosch S4 026 60Ah 70Ah 540 CCA 630 CCA Like a big brothers hand-me-downs, the old 350z battery found a new home with the 92' Sunny. The windows operate so much quicker now 😁 So much space to take a larger unit. Old Sunny battery: LION 158 45Ah 330 CCA Free upgrades

Engine itself sounds nice and quiet. I can highly recommend a flush, you'll be surprised

Top lad, love the update. Great pedalling by our Glen

Lovely purchase and has very low miles. She's in good hands now, looking forward to more clean up pictures. Re the white smoke issue, it may have too much oil in the engine. For what it's worth, an oil and filter change is a no brainer on a new purchase. Previous owner/s hadn't looked after it as it's been presented to MOT and failed for silly items like insufficient screen wash and illegal tyres, these are basic checks an owner should be doing.

Ello n welkom Sounds like this was meant to be. Very nice purchase, stick around.

It's straightforward to find which is defective. When it's misfiring, disconnect a coil at a time and see if it gets worse or stays the same. If it stays the same then that’s the bad coil.

Utterly stunning roads 😍

Wiper scratches can be machine polished so they're not so apparent.

Just replace the faulting coil

Ello n welkom Lovely purchase, had this car following me for a good few miles up the Peak District last year for a club drive out - stick around.

This is the best water crusher I've used. As a drying aid it's mega and leaves lasting protection too. Possibly can be had cheaper elsewhere. Amazon link

I couldn't follow any of this above, however happy your reappearing switch now works with the replacement actuator.

If I was after a Z33 roadster, I'd be all over this - what a great summer buy

Yeah fingers crossed pal, I'd take a 10mm and a spare coil pack with you

Mate wow, she looks great. Any dashcam footage?

Cheers fella, not going that far West - route yet to be disclosed 😉

Something a touch different for the club, we've been to museums, garden centres, farm cafes, country barns and now waterside. Had the idea for a long time and today got the ahead from the kind folks over at Sawley Waterside & Marina to host a breakfast meet with them. Venue looks amazing and should make for some rather nice pictures given the backdrop.
