Looking forward to seeing the V8 back on the road soon Andy

Me too Andy it's a race against time before japfest hopefully I'll be there  ,I'm working hard get it back on the road  Saturday morning baring any problems 

Well small update have installed the clutch new pilot and thrust bearing  just struggling to get the gearbox back in 

Well save me going on about these clutches i recommend that you watch the video! Very interesting .

Time has passed with the  car not being on the road,  so I've done some investigation into a new clutch as the old one was a stiff sprung clutch and  hardly any slip just on or off so not the most pleasant experience,  so I'm going invest into a Uniclutch , these will fit both 350z and 370z they have a light pedal feel and a high capacity for torque , I'll pop a link so that you can see the difference between single and twin plate clutch plus other points 

Correct again,  I took the gearbox out,  and down to my local specialist helicoil s,e, London. They were very good they found the  selector was in two gears,  so they replaced selector fork and some bearings and cleaned. The cost was very reasonable under £400. 

You are correct no need for 6th gear  but I had dropped off the car with him the night before and drove it to the m.o.t centre so !  What happened was, as he leaving the mot  he came to far out into the road so he snatched reverse and missed it and found 6th hence the problem. 

Hi there everyone I've not been on the  forum for a while as I've had car  troubles . I did take the car out last year japfest and maybe one other meeting.  I had to get the mot done so I took it to the normal chap who I've known for over twenty years ,so I dropped off the car and later on he gives me a ring stating that it's passed, the mot but it's stuck in 6th gear,  what !. 

I was to say the least upset with the position I was in, so I parked up and left it for a few months and investigated the issues and was thinking about how to improve the clutch.

Not that I'm biased but I agree 

Usa based, Utube, 350z recommended to the masses 

I've just sat down and watched this,  and  I rate Johnny,  as a great petrol head,  it's just such a shame we won't get the new Z 

Hi fellas I have recently taken the 350z for it's annual MOT and it passed with flying colours as the mechanic was manoeuvring the car out of the garage he was putting the car into reverse and he selected 6th ,and now it's stuck in 6th gear.  I've had car recovered home and I'm going to try and repair i think that the selector has worn and needs replacing,  unfortunately this means gearbox out job . I'm afraid I may not be able to make Beaulieu  , sorry . But I will try my best to sort out before 

Lovely looking car .

Are the graphics on side to do  with D C comics Marvel, etc, just wondering 

So I have been cracking on with the build and have installed a very nice set of bc coilovers and I'm really pleased with them,  they are BR series, comfort springs, reusing the existing spring bucket at rear and  uprating the front . Also have done a small change to the wiring as the start crank sensor was wired incorrectly,  also rerouted the Air intake to the grill for better consistent air temperature . Also have tidy-up the exhaust under the car.

They do this every year guys. Mega email drop tomorrow I recon.

Nervous poo today 

These are the new radiators reasonable easy to install the japspeed water radiator fit's in the original 350z mount,  and the oil cooler i mounted in front of the water radiator with some aluminium plate in a previous photo with  a finger pointing at it

The  water temperatures are much improved  and  unlikely to cause any problems long term and the oil cooler also helps with the overall temperatures so I'm pretty happy with the outcome  . I have run the air intake down to the grill for a continuous air lower temperature intake 

Hi there everyone it's been a while. 

The car over all has been fine but as you own and live with them I have been ironing out the problems and recognise jobs that need to be tackled. 

Two of those is the cooling system water, and  oil  so i have installed larger radiator,  and because i have a remote oil filter i ran a oil cooler as well 

Hi everyone I would love to  attend as per normal as always have a great time !

so  that's me and and Rick
