  1. Who is torqen? Pro trader on here And I see you have started another thread here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/108518-350z-needs-new-engine/ Which has already attracted options you can follow up on and Emperor has just posted up about a a Zed recently arrived with a good engine I'm not sure how to search forum members using tapatalk. Can you some way tag me in the post where the engine is available? Sorry for being senile.
  2. Does anyone know which engine this is? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-350-Z-ENGINE-3-5-V6-ENGINE-VERY-LOW-MILEAGE-/172197256002?hash=item2817c19b42:g:JDEAAOSwT~9WhlZa Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  3. Of course I don't expect it to be a few hundred quid. I was expecting to find them for around £1000-1500 but I haven't been able to find any DE engines for less than £1800+. One seller on eBay has an engine but he doesn't know which model it is. He tried fitting it to his 2004 Z but he mentioned something about the pulleys being the wrong formation or size, he can't remember much and he has just had the engine sat for 12 months in his garage. If I can figure out which engine type it is it might solve my problem. Can I ask where you found the ones for 1200? My car is a UK 2005 DE model btw.
  4. Im sorry if I've posted thing in the wrong section I couldn't find the classifieds. Recently my engine has started knocking badly and the garage seems to think it's either the bottom end or piston related so after ringing around a lot of garages and weighing up getting my blown motor repaired or replaced it seems to be ever so slightly cheaper to just replace the engine itself. The issue I'm having now is sourcing one, I need a vq35de but I can't find one that isn't the price of a car. Does anyone know of a decent engine that is for sale that isn't the price or a house? Annoyingly I've found a HR engine for £1500 but I've heard too many modifications will be needed to get it working. I'm really stuck guys and I really need some help. Annoyingly I can't just ignore it as the car is on finance. Any ideas on what I can do?
  5. I managed to get it to garage this morning and after 4-5 mechanics scratched their beards while inspecting it they came to the conclusion that it's cylinder or piston related. Oil is spitting out of the exhaust pipe. Firstly incase it's the big end they're gonna pull the sump off and have a look. I'll know more tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  6. I just don't have the money for that. If it's a case of it needs an entire new engine the cars a gonner. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  7. So I think my 350z has thrown in the towel. Today while out on a first date of all things I noticed my car was making some faint knocking sounds from the front, as I arrived at my destination only a mile or 2 away I noticed it was much louder and sounded like the bottom end had gone (knocking in time with the revolution of the crank). I pulled over and lightly revved it with my head under the car and it's clear that it's coming from underneath. I had no choice but to abandon my date (for which she was understanding about) and take my car home. As I was driving it back I noticed the red oil light flash up but only for a couple of seconds. I pulled over again to check there wasn't an oil leak anywhere then I stupidly pulled the dipstick out while the engine was running and got covered in it. It's fair to say I've had better days/dates but incase there is something else that this could be I'm thinking my engine is kaput. If I leave the car sat idling you can hear a slight knock which gets progressively worse at the revs rise. I'm not mechanic but from a quick search online people with similar symptoms are claiming the bottom end has failed and it basically needs an entire new engine. What the hell do I do?
  8. Thanks a bunch! And not to sound stupid but why not use them in winter? They known for corrosion? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Polished faces don't particularly like our UK salty roads. I've had some and kept them clean in the winter, just used water and poorboys wheel sealant, Had mine through three winters without any corrosion Ahh fair enough, so how much is a set for the Z? I wonder what my original rays are worth. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

  10. Every time I see this I just want to copy it. Does anyone know what wheels they are?
  11. Is it worth mentioning that its had those spacers long before this issue happened? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
