Hi all, I have a problem with my 07 350Z, Car is just about to hit 40k miles, car has been running fine for the last year or so, I've had no major issues as of yet. Last week I parked the car up on the Friday night then on the Monday morning I started the car and it immediately went into safe mode (wouldn't rev above 1.5k) I then left the car for one hour to research what might be the problem, after the hour I restarted the car and it started fine all be it a bit rough for the first few seconds, I assumed nothing of it but thought I better get a diagnostics check to see if it's throwing any codes (I have still yet to do this but will get round to it this week) anyway all week the car started first time however I did notice it was running a little short on power and didn't want to rev as smoothly as it used to, anyway come Friday night I again left the car parked in the driveway, so today I decided to see if the car would start, it didn't and I ended up with this. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeM4iUDEcuuQZVzOmmkgX4x5nwD-RG9Ne I tried messing around for about an hour or 2 but still couldn't get it started, anyway at 4pm I decided to try one last time as to which the car started, it ran very rough for about 10 seconds almost cutting out a few times but then ran normally from then onwards, I quickly ran round the back of the car to see if there where any noticeable smells or smoke, I did note that a lot of white rich smelling smoke was coming from the exhaust but this then dissipated when the car warmed up, I took the car round the block 3-4 times for some medium/hard driving to see if I had any hesitation or problems, It still feels like the car doesn't want to rev as freely I also got a few jerky moments at 5.5k rpm for a second or two, Anyway I pulled in turned the car off and back on again and it's starting fine now, I do notice that the exhaust note sounds a little bit louder than normal (standard 07 exhaust). My initial thoughts are maybe a bad coil pack or plugs? But I wouldn't have thought the coils would have went at 40k (Plugs might be more likely) Also regards the smoke on the exhaust I'm 100% sure it's not a head gasket problem as my coolent levels etc are all normal. Any thoughts? Again I know I'm probably best getting a check on the codes done first, but I'm just checking in case any of you have had any similar problems.

Welcome to the forums mate. Regards the clutch, mine is also very noise but only on take off (apparently they all make some sort of noise) mine is due a change however. Could maybe be the throw out bearing? Or then again it might just be a noisy clutch.

I know you could delete post's on other forums never checked this one, I am admin on a Honda forum and I have got into the habit of deleting my own post when asking a question Anyway thanks for the response . For the record it's not a JDM zed already checked that one out, so I'll go for the Non-GT Uk Spec and yes it has headlamp washer jets. Uk spec plate holders and all that jazz.

Ok, so before anyone tells me to use the search option I have already done it and still can't quite work out which model/trim my 07 zed is. so my car has or has not got the following. *Has leather seats *Does NOT have the BOSE system *Does NOT have heated seats or electric seats *Does have TCS *Does have Bluetooth and buttons on one side of the steering wheel *Does NOT have GPS *Does have 18" Rays and Brembo's *Does NOT have Cruise control. Any idea's?

Like this a lot mate, something different. Looks brilliant.

How are we doing people Just bought a 350 and decided to join the community, I've never owned a Nissan however have always looked into getting one as I am a massive Jap car fan having owned (and still own) an 98 EK9 Type R for a few years I was essentially looking for a bit more muscle so the 350 suited me perfectly; picked up a 2007 GT last week with 30k miles, 1 year MOT/Tax and all that jazz for 8k this included all service history and receipts from new which to my mind was decent price for the car, only 1 gremlin which is the drivers side window motor is packing in, however I'm aware this is pretty common on 350's so I'm not too phased about it. Should have some pictures up soon, cheers.
