350zdriver

when they put it in, they scratched all of the sill, ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i am going to be without the car yet again whilst they take it to the bodyshop for a repair, not happy!! Whats the general compensation people have had for having there pride and joy scratched up by some monkey at the dealers? Regards Rob

mine is in today for a new seat base for the passenger side as it only worked on the low setting. All switches and fuses are fine. Nissan told me that there are 2 circuits within the seat and it looks like one is broken. I get the Z back later today so i'll ask them what it was. They should hopefully be giving me a new Bose aswell as mine still jumps!! Then i'm gonna try for a new clutch and flywheel, ha ha!! Might aswell make the most of the warranty! Regards Rob

I have been looking at this myself but i am not sure whether it's the same one. anyone know? Regards Rob

clicking rear axle - done pushed the traction control button into the dash (oops) -done rattle behind the 3 pods in the dash - done Jumping Bose stereo - said they couldn't find a fault, aaahhh!! passenger side heated seat only works on the low setting (bizarre) - new seat base on order. Replace both the front and the rear badges. -done squeak from the rear right -done re-torque front suspension (tsb for slight knock) - done so basically, all of it, woohoo!! only problem now is, driving it home from the garage i pulled into Shell, pressed the fuel cap release buttion and that too went straight through the dash! They aren't built too well are they? regards Rob

hahah, it's funny that because the exact car is currently being pampered by Nissan having all of it's warranty issues sorted. Cheaky fraudsters!! thanks for the input guys, sounds like ebay are onto them. I have to saym she looks good in the photos though!! Regards Rob

having a quick browse on ebay and discovered a very good looking 350z. Much to my horror, it's mine!!! looks like a scam and someone has got hold of the pictures from wen i bought it. How do you report stuff like that to ebay? heres the scam. Aparently you can have MY car for £6700, yeah right!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-NISSAN-350Z_ ... dZViewItem

nah, someone through work.

I thought my Bose sounded a bit cack (when it wasn't jumping!) so fiddled around with it. I thought it sounded quite dull in the front so all i did was adjusted the balance to the right by 1 click. It's bloomin miles better!! The quality has improved and if you stick your head in the centre of the car it still sound in the middle!! Hope this helps on yours. I like my Bose now

I see quite a few people have upgraded their sat nav. i have seen one on ebay but it's from a different nissan so don't know whether it would fit. Has anyone got one they would sell. I'm not bothered about how fancy it is, as long as it works. Basically, it's the only optional extra my car hasn't got so i might aswell put that in aswell! Regards Rob

SOLD

yep, same as mine, 13k from new, nasty rattle. Apprently thats a "feature" of the 350z. I used to work for Lotus/IBM in Staines and drink in the Swan, happy days! Regards Rob

has anyone fitted the rear park sensors on a 350 though? the instructions are a bit vague ad it doesn't indicate whether you need to take the bumper off or not, but i pressume you do? Regards Rob

don't worry, i am proceeding with caution, hence why i am getting all my other stuff done first before i really start trying to get clutch parts done. The clutch plate itself is not covered under waranty, but the bearing, cover (failure in the springs) and flywheel are. the guy even let it slip that they have had a few warped flywheels and a few twisted splines? and also said if they can sense a judder then it's likely to be a fault. I'm just going to wait until i have some cash incase they try and bill me when the gearbox is out. However, i took it into ATS yesterday to have my tracking done (steering wheel slightly out to the right, anyone else got this? turns out the tracking is spot on, eh, how does that work then?) and the first thing he said to me was "the springs in your clutch cover are shot and it judders, take it back". i hadn't even mentioned it. I will get a new part eventually. Just thought i'd ask on here so i could be armed with previous stories/backup etc Regards Rob

p.s, if you know the girls who are washing your car in your pictures then yes, i will definately meet up!! my motor could do with a wash Rob

think i might take a trip up there then if they are more helpful. Basically i am having all my Warranty niggles sorted out (clicking diffs, bose, noisy dash rattle etc etc), then as soon as they hand the keys back i'm going to ask to listen to the clutch on their demonstrator as he said ALL 350zs do it. Although i pointed out, if they made that noise from new, nobody would buy them as it sounds rough. He also said it's nothing to do with the release bearing until a gear is selected and the clutch is released. A 'thump' would be an indication of a faulty wheel bearing. I'll speak to my mechanic frind and see what he says. thanks for the input. I'll keep you posted about meeting up Rob
