Olly350z

I hate to admit it but its definitely growing on me. The more I see the more I like with its styling, however this is more then likely because its a retro style with modern flare, which I'm a sucker for. Especially found of the 300zx rear tail light style. Yes, im one of those people who love old style with modern technology The one big no no for me though, and nearly all modern manufacturers do this is the multi coloured body panels, or two tone in this case yellow with black and chrome roof If possible I'd want one colour coded all one colour. Why manufacturers decide this looks good will never, ever make sense to me

Walk away. Rust is sadly an inevitably on all cars, especially in the UK however there are things that can be done to help hold it back. This one will be too far gone to rescue at this point As said above, if you have that kind of budget then find yourself a better example

Personally, I would only pay that asking price if it is exceptionally good condition and everything checks out. While it is the best colour for a Z ill agree, it is right at the very top of what they're worth, especially a DE. If I was to do 350z ownership again and had that budget, I'd be looking at a good condition HR. Newer car, newer refinements and the better model to have IMO

Agree with you Willsy, thats probably been the most surprising bit is how often I get stopped or find people admiring the car. Always had unique cars but this one trumps them all Bet the neighbours have pestered you an all

Welcome to the Nismo gang buddy! I really hope next year we can get a Nismo stand with all of them together, would be great to see. How you finding her ?

Thats a GT, you can see the heated and electric seat switches, the original bose stereo and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. However, blooming heck thats a steep price!

Welcome to the Nismo club, definitely made the right decision and its one hell of an upgrade over the standard 350. Glad to see I'm not the only one who routinely checked i had bought one at first

And buy me a beer if it does turn out to be a coilpack

Camber doesn't wear tyres that excessively, toe does as you've now found out. I ran much lower then that for easily 3 years and must have covered around 15k miles without any hint of wear on my tyres as the alignment was spot on, and this was only with aftermarket toe bolts at the rear Camber will cause wear over the life of a tyre on the inside edge as your decreasing the contact patch on the road, toe will wear tyres as you're basically dragging them down the road rather then rotating.

Would lay money you have the same issue, the amp kicking in and out is a well known. I bought a second hand one and never had further issues. Its located behind the main sub, behind drivers seat. 20 minute job to swap over

Ok, I'm going to ask again, have you checked the coilpacks and spark plugs? I only ask as you've not mentioned them once I honestly think you've been thrown way off the scent by the MAF sensor, in fact id be willing the lay money its either the coilpacks or plugs. Your symptoms are indicative of this, and identical to the issues I suffered. I would have an intermittent misfire that would come out of nowhere under normal driving or giving it WOT and it was like hitting a brick wall. And then it would clear just as quickly. It even left me stranded at the road side one day for 10 minutes until it cleared and this was the final straw for me. I proved this by letting it run until it started misfiring, at which point I unplugged each coilpack one at a time. I soon found the culprit and replaced all packs and plugs and I can't stress this enough, it never ran so well before. This probably sounds like a dig post and its honestly not meant like that, just don't want you throwing money at injectors when I'd highly doubt its those and basic checks on the coilpacks could save you alot of money

I would say this is more of a beam image issue and less to do with the actual brightness. Are your headlights showing there age with yellow oxidation?

Tarmac Sportz rear side lourves on mine made a nice difference, fitted well too.

Thats a misfire code. I'd recommend as I've said above, engine running go round unplugging each coilpack one at a time. If you hear a noticeable drop in engine running, its good. If you don't hear anything, thats your suspect. You can then try a known working one if someone is local, or go straight in with plugs. Plugs, coilpacks and further diagnostics in that order

The easiest way to determine if its a misfire is to while running, unplug each coilpack one at a time. If you hear a noticeable change in engine sound and running, thats good. If you unplug one and nothing happens, thats your suspect cylinder. I would advise plugs, and coilpacks in that order. As azurez33 says you can have a misfire without throwing an engine light, as I did. I replaced plugs and packs and it never ran better

Don't worry, we think most customers are the same. Normally numpties (politely) when they turn up with there self diagnosed issues My favourite one is when people void warranties

What a car, I'm super envious of this. Probably my all time favourite JDM classic. Don't suppose you want a MK2 nismo do you So whats the plans? Full restoration?

You lot must visit some poor main dealers, can safely say mine is nothing like these horror stories you hear. And properly proud of that

That part is true, many many dealerships including my own were told for a long time that we weren't allowed to wash, hoover or even prep the cars from service or sales. Trust me, it was as boring for us as it was for customers. Have you tried contacting customer services? A strongly worded letter or email goes right to the top, trust me

Im still putting money on gallery gaskets being your issue. The shuddering is a well known result of low oil pressure not reaching the top of the engine.

Its one of the LLF mpire and DMO wannabes so its no real loss. Im sure on a BHP to braincell count the GTR had better number then the entire crowd tbh

(Awaits warning point from superstu)

Ok cool think im going to give them a go. Ill do interior lights first and see what they're like

I was looking at these guys last night, seem like some really well thought out. Did you purchase from them?

Maybe I'm being daft but I've found the website but it seems more like a blog? Can't find any specific bulbs for sale
