  1. 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.

  2. 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?

  3. 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??

  4. 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 :boxing:

     

    When you reach the top though it is magnificent :)

  5. 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..

  6. 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! :scare:

     

    So get snow tyres and just follow the traffic, you will not have any problems! No snow tyres ...better lock it up!!

  7. 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.
