I'm keen on the answer too, I experience problems with mine when showing off. Sometimes when I floor it from a set of lights the clutch half engages even when I've released it. It has some drive but revs shoot up massively. Same thing when changing up to second and third. You can put your foot under the clutch pedal and kick it fully out but by the time you react it's too late. This is the first sports car I've had so I assumed it was some sort of safeguard. 

I looked into the Xtreme Stage 1 Clutch and Fly wheel as it should make a difference for track driving but I only have 14k on the clock so thought I would try and get more use out of this clutch first.

Well apparently it's the cam sensor. Fault cleared and drove back (to Alnwick) ok but now the lights back on and we're back to a high and erratic idle.

 

Still seems to have plenty of power but better leave it if I don't have to drive it. Sadly will have to pass this one, but should be ready for the following weekend, new parts permitting.

 

Real shame because there are some nice roads out that way. A while ago now, but I worked out of Medomsley and then Leadgate for about 8 years and often used to cut across from Tebay on the M6 or Barnard Castle on the A66. Some good sections either side of Middleton across the moors if I remember correctly. Irony is I'll be down that way anyway tomorrow to see my parents in Prudhoe. 

 

That sounds strange, hopefully you get it sorted soon. 

The snow was too bad to head up to the moors so we ended up going to the coast for a drive. The roads are great up that way, early morning on a Sunday and you barely see a sole out. 

Here is a pic from the weekend, dont be deceived by the blue sky, it was freezing!!

I have an OBD2 you can use to get the diagnostic code if you don't manage to get it sorted. 

The original plan was to do the long way round to Alston from Consett, a better version of this; 

It might be easy to meet at Shell at Heddon if your newcastle ish. (Hexham Road, Heddon-on-the-Wall, Heddon On The Wall NE15 0BG)

I might change my mind depending on the weather. If it's snowing at Consett it will be ridiculous at Alston. If it's bad snow we will head to the coast and it might be a bit warmer. But I dont know any routes that way. Aiming for a 10AM start so about 10:30 at Heddon.

Hopefully it's nothing serious and you can come out!

Ha ha, but my TT is much, much quicker than my Zed! Sorry 

What TT you got? 

We've just booked up there. I don't think there is loads of space left, there is one later in the month that is fully booked.

We're going for a drive on Sunday 11th Febraury. No set route yet, we will be starting from Newcastle area if any one wants to join us. All are welcome. 

You can't come in a TT after I've been giving it big b*ll*ck's about being quicker

Are you going on track with the Zed? Might pop along

Yeah I'm taking the Zed and my mate has an Audi TT (obviously I was quicker ). We done it back end of November as well, absolutely loved it, great track.

I think it's only £10.00 to add passengers as well, so you could come out for a few laps. Or better yet put yours on

Count me in. I can do 11th March as well.

I'm planning on doing Croft on 12th March with a mate if any of you fancy a proper blast out.

If you have the choice run all on 4s. I have SS on the rear and 4s on the front and had no problems (the garage made a similar mistake to you). 

I much prefer the 4S over SS. Road noise reduction is massive.

That's enough to get me excited!

There may be a small meet at Middlesborough this weekend if anyone is interested (see below).

Still waiting to confirm exact details.

Yeah I'm definitely up for meeting. Just post details and I will be there!

I'm up for a meet. Middlesbrough is about an hour away so not far at all. 

Great,  cheers mate. I'm at Croft at the end of the month, if I'm still having problems I will buy it then. 

Thanks for the reply, That's one of the ones I've been looking at. What are they like to fit? 

I done my first track day at Oulton Park on Friday, absolutely loved it! Car performed great too.

The Power Steering Fluid was boiling after every session. I didn't notice any problems out on track but with it being my first track day I had a lot of other thoughts (like why is there a squirrel on track whilst I'm doing 100 through Knickerbrook!).

Is this a common problem on 370z and is it likely to cause more issues if I don't do something about it? I've seen a few cooling kits available, has any one had one fitted?

Hey Jordan, Consett!!! I'm based near Beamish. Got to get the cars out for a photo shoot sometime if fancy. Welcome along btw and enjoy your stay

Hi, you weren't the guy with the 350Z I was talking to in Kieth's Barbers @ Annfield Plain were you?  

Definitely, we need something sorted.

Think that must have been the long way round to Alnwick...... Kielder water maybe, or via the lakes?

Nice 370 tho'.

Welcome to the forum, the North East definitely needs a meet sometime soon?

That's a very good point - must have had Alnwick on my mind  It was Kielder Water!

Definitely, I'm always up for meeting!

I'm a newbie and would meet up in NE. I live at Consett so Newcastle isn't far.

Hi All,

I'm Jordan, I've had my 370Z GT for just over a month, I've never had a car that makes me smile as much when I drive it! Such a good looking car too.

I'm in the North East, happy to meet up with any one around here.

Skipton August meet

First trip out to Alnwick
