  1. Im not sure when or if they have been changed. The engine i got put in the car only had 31k on clock but it was from a 2007 350z

     

    I will try removing the old plugs to see if there is any oil on them

     

    Im in the north west of the country not too far from manchester, who is the best garage to contact closest to me?

     

    Thank you

  2. The rev up motors do hang the revs after blipping the throttle.

     

    Perfectly normal

     

    Thanks for the good new :)

     

    Thats a relief!! I was getting really worried :(

     

    Another small issue is that sometimes i have noticed the car is missing, feels like the clutch has been put down for approx half a second and then car carries on normal. It causes a small judder and losses power, It has happend when im driving in 3rd 4th and 5th gear (not used 6th gear yet lol)

     

    What could be causing this?

     

     

  3. Not normal, try the accelerator release position learning on here ...,

    any eml lights showing ? I would start a new thread for this as you will get a better response :thumbs:

     

    Thanks for quick reply mate

     

    No they are no lights on dash and when engine is started and runing while car is standing it sounds all normal

     

    I will try the reset in the morning and if it dosnt work i will make a new thread for this, Do you think its worth making a youtube video and putting the link to that in the new thread?

  4. People i have a little problem :(

     

    Car engine is running fine since i have had it installed but i have noticed that when i rev the car in nutural the reves go up as i would expect but as soon as i let go off the pedal the revs dont drop instantly and it takes about 1 second before the rev neadle starts to drop

     

    Is this normal? Or should i be worried?

     

    I have driven a 2006 pre facelift 350z and never noticed the reves to do this

     

  5. :lol: Used up all my daily likes on this thread!

     

    Glad you got it all sorted, that was darn quick!

     

    Did you source a new engine or fix yours?

     

    Thanks guys

     

    I got a replacment engine as my original engine hand cam damaged so was easier to replace it

  6. GOOD NEWS!!!!!! I finally did it :) i have my 2007 Z up and running!!

     

    And bot it sounds sweet :) :) i can not stop smiling :) :)

     

    Thank you very much to everyone who helped and the advise i was given helped me BIG time

  7. I have a lot of sympathy for those with dyslexia or learning difficulties, but surely that doesn't stop them using spell check or a browser (like Google chrome) that does it automatically? I know I can't spell, so that is what I do.

     

    Hope you manage to source a suitable engine, you've done the right thing coming here for advise. :thumbs:

     

    Thanks i usually do use spell check on my computer but im doing this in my phone so its a little difficult

     

    But thank you everyone for the help and the spelling lessons :)

  8. It's the easiest way, really. There are other more technical ways, and the speedo could be replaced I guess, but it's highly unlikely.

     

    Thank you for your help, hopefully the speedo is original :)

  9. Why is it dyslexic people can always spell dyslexic properly? Also, why are most of them on the internet?

     

    As has been said, you'll need a Revup engine. At what point does the redline start? If 6.5k it's a normal DE, if 7k it's a Revup.

     

    I had to google how to spell dyslexic as didnt want to look completely stupid. :)

     

    Ok will check the redline tomorrow as car is in the garage

  10. Well doesn't that make me look lick a d***. :lol: My apologies.

     

    Someone local will likely be able to recommend someone.

     

    You car is an 07, and not a HR, so it is a Rev-Up engined car.

     

    Brave man buying a car from an auction with a seized engine when you clearly know nothing about engines or mechanics......

     

    Its ok mate no problem

     

    Oh now i understand so a single airfilter engine is a REV-UP and the new double airfilter engine is HR correct?

     

    Yeah your right i really dont have a clue about the engines so it was a big risk but the car cost me half its value :) so though got to be worth it :)

  11. it's an ENGINE not a engion.

    I can forgive it once or twice, but not constantly!

     

    Anyway,

     

    You need to get your engine stripped down to see what damage is done. It could be fixable for considerably less that the £1500 ish of buying a second hand engine, and then paying for it to be fitted.

     

    Where are you based? We may be able to recommend somewhere to take it to be looked at.

    What were the circumstances of it becoming seized?

     

    The Rev-Up was a slightly modified version of the VQ35DE.

     

    Sorry mate im dyslexic

     

    Will try to remember to spell correctly

     

    Im not too far from manchester so if you got anyone local then please let me know.

     

    Im not sure what caused the car engine to become seized, i just bought it from auction its only got 40k on clock

     

     

     

    How do i know if mine is REV -UP or not?

     

  12. You need a 2006 spec VQ35DE Revup engine, they were only produced in 176 2005 GT4 special editions and maybe 1000 Zeds at the most, so may be hard to come across.

     

    Is repairing the engine not an option?

     

    What is the difrance of a rev up engion and a normal engion? Are all VQ35DE rev up engions?

     

    Alfie is breaking a 350z will his engion fit my car as both have the single air filter?

     

    I just thought it may be easier/ cheaper to replace rather then try fix the old one

  13. :welcome: Good luck with the hunt

     

    Thank you Tony

     

    I am thinking it may be cheaper to buy a damaged 350z and then use the engion and could sell the remaining car as parts?

     

    Any suggestions?
