Cheers.....and now I really can call you YOUNG man!! ....58 ? Just a mere slip of a lad, just getting started

Thanks Davey, Appreciated!

Thanks young man, Appreciated!

Oh I just assume at 73 I’m older than everybody

Your a gem young man that looks very interesting and so close to me. Many thanks for your efforts in finding that for me!

Thanks. Not sure how things are constructed under there but will investigate and if necessary get on to Alex for parts.

Thanks young man. Well they didn’t specify other than subframe. Im taking it to a garage to take a look and will contact you if parts are needed.

UGH. Much prefer the standard car. I’d feel like a complete prat driving that down the road. It’s trying way to hard. Less is obviously more here!

I’m not sure if a repair and by that I mean cutting and welding is necessary, if so I know someone who could do that because I don’t think my go to garage does that sort of work (I’ll ask).I’m hopping it’s just surface and as such I could either clean it up and treat it myself if garages hire out car lifts given H&S these days. Better still find a place who can treat it for me if there available, would treat old cars and if the end result is worth the expense.

I have a 2004 350Z which has passed its MOT every year of ownership (Best cat I’ve owned). This time there was an advisory comment pointing out “Corrosion on Sub Frame”. Has anyone had a similar comment and if so, how did you go about sorting it. Unfortunately a recent touring caravan purchase means I can no longer get the car up on ramps but then again access to the middle of the car is limited on ramps. Has anyone been able to hire a garage type lift, or used a service who can sand blast and treat the underside and if its very effective given the cars age ? All advice welcome

Did a service today and removed the spark plugs to clean and check gaps. I noticed that cylinder 4 plug looked quite dirty and the outside electrode was partially burnt away (see pic) although all other plugs looked fine (clean and fawn coloured). Then I recalled I had the same issue in 2017 when I did the plugs, although the outside electrode, while worn, wasn’t quite as burnt away. Has anyone got any ideas what could cause this, injector, coil pack, other.

Your a star Davey !! Many thanks for sharing your expertise I will take your advice. Over and out!

Thanks so much for your efforts Davey, now I get it and the diagram really helps. I’ve had my car for 15yrs now and it’s probably to late but thought I might fit one just to help the old gal along a bit n her old age. Luv that car!! ps: just had a thought you may be able to advise on. im thinking of running a tube from the PCV and one from the tube which currently connects to the air intake pipe just before the Throttle valve, th t ”teeing” them together into the in port of the catch can, then a tube from the out of the catch can to the plenum vacuum pipe. Do you see any problems with this?
