Tough call mate..Have driven the latest Cayman S and I must say the sound of the engine behind your seat and the whole sporty feeling you get in one of these is impressive! On the other hand a M3 is definitely more practical. Any idea about the running costs of an M3?
-
Wrong title, Rain + Lock + Braking + M3 = bad
+ESP:OFF maybe.....

Just did it and at last..NO CLICKING!!!
Just hope it will last long!!

The cam cover solution does not seem like a cheap one as I had oil in one of the spark plugs on each side. What can happen if I leave it like this , any major danger for the engine?
-
If its oil on the top of the spark plugs then Its something to do with the gaskets Im sure. If its oil on the electrode side plus you have high oil usage that could be a problem.
What grade of oil are you using?
It is oil on the top side and I was using Mobil 1 5W30 that was changed the last time to a 5W40 non Mobil 1. Did not check oil levels though after the oil change...should do it tomorrow actually.

Noticed lately that my 04 350Z consumes ca 1lt oil per 1500km. At the same time and during a spark plug change I noticed oil on 2 of the spark plugs. The serviceman told me that it is surely problem with the gaskets and it has to be fixed by lifting the upper part of the engine to replace the gaskets. Is it so or can there be other reasons for the oil consumption and the oil on the spark plugs?

Did you guys tighten the centre locknut by hand and how did you measure the appropriate torque (177 ft-lb) ?Did you use some torque wrench?

Got my new Cobra exhaust fitted last week.
Will try to get a video clip uploaded soon.
Grats mate....can you tell us how it does sound compared to the OEM exhaust??
-
Welcome and enjoy your new toy !!!
-
everyone did state it does come back if its just been rotated 180 degrees and re greased but Zugara has reported the way he did it, it hasnt come back. Check for his guide on what he did
Can you give us a link with this guide?
-
I agree 100% with G Man... breathtaking scenery and gorgeous landscape but as far as driving is concerned, very narrow road full of 180 degree turns, very difficult to overtake, numerous rude bikers and a 350Z that is catching its breath because of the alltitude and steep upphill
When you reach the top though it is magnificent

Because the local club that organises trackdays demands now towing hooks both front and back in the cars during track days... Does anybody have one in a reasonable price? It is like 70 euros(!!!) from dealer..

I work in a car dealership (one of ours is nissan) - had the same problem on mine. take the drive shafts out, grease the end of them, turn them 180 degrees and stick them back in. took the master tech about 3/4 of an hour
What kind of grease did you use? Cause the recommended from Nissan grease is extremely expensive!!

From my experience with 3 harsh swedish winters with the Z and good snow tyres, I can say that the Z is more than usable on snow. That is as long as you show it the proper respect. Somewhat narrower tyres in the back eg. 225 help a little bit more. Just dont forget to have the ESP always on of course!! On the other hand I wouldn't even dare using it on regular summer tyres on snowy/icy conditions...Even on a 1/2 inch fresh snow it gets extremely slippery and frightening!
So get snow tyres and just follow the traffic, you will not have any problems! No snow tyres ...better lock it up!!
-
I guess a better approach would be to compare the Zed to the S5, which could be my next car actually!! Anyone has sth to comment on that?
-
Just fitted it after 5 minutes work! And it does indeed makes a BIG difference in heel&toe !!!! Off we go to some track days now!!
-
Got it today and started thinking about fitting it as soon as the weather stops pushing snowstorms over here!!!
Thanx stitchy!! Awesome job.
-
Make it quick cause the first track days are coming!!!!

Tyre damage
in Tyres
A photo would help but as I see it, I would not feel safe with a tyrewall that stands just a few mm from total disaster. Have it looked upon by an expert asap.
