thats a matter of opinion about the redline jargon, no one i know calls it that, as for a cluster never heard of it , I must be getting old! , anyway, being new to the forum and to the 350z I just wanted some advise not to be put down by what i know or dont know , I thought forums were for helping people. anyone thanks for the advise

I'm pretty sure 90% of these posts gave you your answer, your question was answered in the 2nd reply.

People are asking justified questions, as you said it's a open forum, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

 

Curious, what do you call the red line then?

never called it anything, thanks for the advise

Hang on, you're confusing me now!

 

The Zed has NO protections against overrevs in the example I gave, on the way down through the gearbox. It only has protection from you booting it in gear and forgetting to change up.

ok

I honestly don't know what you have been driving since 1987. Push bikes don't count

Ok here goes some cars I drove used 4 star fuel too, bet you didnt know that. (cars in no particular order)

Ford Escort MK2 ( manual choke) do you know what that is? lol

Datsun Cherry (Nissan actually took over Datsun)

Original Mini

Fiat Tempra

Fiat Punto

Citroen XM

Citreon BX

Ford Escort MK3

Isuzua Trooper

Seat IBIZA GTI

Mitsibushi Carisma

Citroen AX

Rover 45

Alfa Romeo GTV

Nissan 350z

VW Polo

VW Gof TDI

didnt want to over rev it by accident, but if its got a limiter then no probs

Ah, I see now. That makes sense

 

Like every car ever made since the early '90s, the Zed does indeed have a rev limiter to stop you breaking things. Won't help with overrevs via a botched shift, though.

 

 

Which is downshifting to 2nd instead of 4th at 100mph, for example.

In the past over revivng the engines was bad, so wasnt sure it this car had any in built protection for over revving hence the question :-)

Can I also ask, have you actually driven the car you've purchased?

yes I have Driven it, its a great car, I did have an alfa GTV which was a brilliant car but was getting to the end of its life so I recently picked up the 350z. I only knew about it because I saw one on the motorway a few weeks back and thought it looked amazing so didst know much about them at all until then.

Ive got no regrets Its an awesome drive and Ive had quite a lot of cars in the past but this 350Z is most definitely the best car. Im really enjoying driving it.

Thanks for all the replies, I have learnt quite a few new things today.

Can I ask why you think it matters what the max revs for each gear are?

out of interest, is there a rev limiter on this car too?

Yes, at 6500 for yours.

 

Again though, and I'm curious more than trying to sound horrid, but why do you think the max revs for each gear is important?

Max revs for a DE is 6.6k I believe, at least that's what the change up indicator defaults to. The redline can be seen on the instrument panel/ cluster/ dials, its the red section.

Many Thanks

im not a car expert as mentioned , also Ive never heard of the dashboard called a "cluster"or heard the term red line, Ive been driving since 1987 so pardon me for not knowing your jargon on the forum but forums are here to help people not put them off posting. Im in IT and have a string of letters after my name but I would never put someone down for not knowing what a cluster was in IT terms!

Sorry for sounding cheesed off mouthwash but you post was a bit off!

... It's where the redline on the revometer starts, it's not unique to the 350z.

 

Also, why not just sit in the drivers seat and have a look at the cluster yourself? I'm struggling to not be sarcastic here as it feels like a total troll.

 

Edit: It's quite literally a red coloured line on the inside of the revometer just in case this is genuine.

Ive just bought a nice 350z manual speed from 2005, I was wondering can anyone tell me what the max revs are for each gear?

Thanks

anyone recommend a compatible good replacement stereo with usb mp3 player which works with the stereo controls on the wheel?

is there any way to increase the volume?

thanks all

Hello All

I have a 350z (2005) and a 6 cd changer with cassette, however the max volume only goes to 31? is this right?

Many Thanks
