  1. Hi All - Thanks for the comments and advice. I've had a number of offers on the car which were acceptable to me, so the next owner will now make the decisions instead. I can't keep it forever - I'm 50 now and there's a finite number of years ahead and a near-infinite number of interesting cars I've yet to own. If I'd have kept my Prelude I'd never have got the RX-8, and if I'd kept the RX-8 I'd never have got the 350Z. And so on into the future. As it is I've had the Z longer than the Prelude and RX-8 combined. 7 years is a good run and it'll still be the slowest depreciating car I've ever owned.
  2. Thanks. This is one of the worst areas up at the front. I don't know much about these things but it looked to me/them like something non-removable?
  3. Hi, Looking for some advice. My 2005 350Z will fail it's MOT in a week's time and it's beyond economical repair to attempt anything with it. The subframe front and rear is too rusty which is enough by itself but the entire exhaust and all of the discs and pads are also too far gone. I figure some of the other parts of the car have some value and the engine has only done 108500 miles. Are there people out there that regularly buy such things - 350Z specialists?. Better than just a "every car is the same" scrap price I'd hope.
  4. Thanks. No, the end is within the bumper. So I see it as a cosmetic problem only, I'll hope they see the same.
  5. One of the exhaust tips has gone missing, leaving a jagged rusty pipe in it's place. Anyone know if that's an MOT fail item? Perhaps I should get it replaced anyway but due to circumstances I'm looking for whatever is the cheapest solution, so OEM / basic or close to it I guess. Something like Eurofit, Kwik-fit etc? Michael.
  6. Finally garage's guy is back from Covid. No more than an hour to fit they say, so I've now ordered the part on the link above, a few mins ago. Thanks again!
  7. Thanks. Just checking the garage are happy to fit, then will order.
  8. They were reading a fault code on their machine, not inspecting the car as there wasn't time at the time. The diagnostic confirmed what the Foxwell machine I'd plugged in earlier had said. The ABS Stuff seems to be a red herring, caused down the line by the Cam sensor. Currently the fault is cleared though in another thread I've been advised it'll be back after 3 cold-hot-cold cycles. Foxwell results are below, if that tells anything about the bank.
  9. Thanks. Bank1 or 2 - That I don't know. Is there any way to tell beyond a garage opening it up? I'm not very handy.
  10. The garage near me needs to source one to fit my car. They've found a few options and are not sure which is correct. £60-£120 so far. I thought I'd help them out by asking here. Mine is a 2005 350Z.
  11. Right. It is the cam position sensor. Also confirmed it at a local Japanese sports car specialist I found. For now they've cleared the fault and at the moment, the car has entirely forgotten about the problem - no warning lights. I'll get it changed anyway, I can't see that lasting.
  12. Thanks for info, good to know and yeah sounds logical to start with engine not ABS. I have no idea where to start on the above however. 😀 I'm about as good with electrics as I am with mechanicals. I can change a battery/fuse. Beyond that... (motions hand going over head). Testing data might be useful though thanks, if I can figure out what I'm doing.
  13. Quite some time later, I've finally got my hands on a tool and some time and run it, with the following results (image below) Which initially suggest ABS. At the same time I was running the diagnostic, the car did turn on the ABS light *and* the Stability light *and* the "slippery road" light. And then off again And then a while later on again. Repeat. Every time a small click from the car. Although a bit off Googling gives me a youtube link that suggests Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction) C1130 will also cause an ABS light fault, even if the ABS is actually OK. Any experience/advice welcome.
