Hi guys, first time owner of a 350z here. Bought it about 5 weeks ago. Loving the car so far, just a couple of issues.
Its a 2008 HR with 53000 miles on the clock.
Do these cars not like going below 1500rpm? If I'm slowing down and the revs go below 1500rpm, when I apply the gas a few seconds later it seems to judder a bit? I've never experienced this before in any previous cars. The lower the revs, the worse it gets. If the revs go below 1500rpm then I have to release the clutch and apply more gas then re-enage the clutch otherwise it judders/jolts forward sharply. This is only in gears 1-3, if it happens in first gear then it jolts back and forth and does the kangaroo dance. Is this a sign the clutch is on its way out or is it normal? Its hard to explain but it only judders once - then it continues accelerating as normal, I'm not sure if the revs are too low, but in previous cars its normally around 1000rpm when the juddering happens
Other issue is around 2000rpm theres a rattle sound coming from the rear of the car, sounds like the exhaust making a rattle. But could be a heatshield or something I guess? I'm going to upgrade the exhaust to a Cobra soon.
Thanks
