Both in stock and good to go same/next day. Alex.

Top up your brake fluid for the warning light issue. Lubricate the rear bushings and drop links with XCP ONE or similar. Alex.

Check the window lock switch on the driver's door. Alex.

Plenty preowned complete OEM plenums in stock and good to go same/next day. Alex.

Did you not do your research on reinforcing the turrets before you bought the coil overs ? I have schematics / drawings saved somewhere that I produced a few years back. I will have a look for them when I get back on Sunday. Alex.

Considerable fabrication is required so get your welder out. Alex.

Bin the Kinetix and stick on a Cosworth. I had the same issue with Kinetix and rewelded it all the way round, however it is so thin that you could shoot peas through it. Alex.

If it aint broke, don't fix it. From the manual oil pressure check, what was the cold reading on start up ? Also what is the reading when hot from the manual oil pressure check at circa 3000 rpm ? Alex.

Unfortunately the servicing dealer will not except liability, but what I am saying is that the missfire may be down to "bad" servicing so this should be looked at this first. ie: plug issue, coil pack issue, wrong grade/viscosity of oil which may be effecting the operation of the VVT. Before you start phoning around for prices, I would highly recommend that you get the car to a 350Z VQ35DE specialist for an informed diagnoses on the fault. I have plenty preowned low mileage VVT sprockets etc. in stock so that will save you considerable cash if they are required, however the teeth are not prone to wear on the sprockets. Regarding oil consumption, only you will know how much oil you are having to put in every 1000 miles. With respect, you are putting the cart before the horse, so unless you have money to burn, best to get a proper professional diagnoses from a specialist, which can be done without removing and stripping the engine. Regarding the chain kit, I can send you over a link where these can be purchased. Alex.

NSTBs are only advisories and guides for Nissan garages and are not part of any warranty so have no "sell by date" Recalls are a bit different though, however there are no recalls on the PWMs. As has been said, try a reset. Alex.

Well worth the effort. Get it up on a ramp and and sand blast the undercarriage and then spray with the rust treatments of your choice. Alex.

Firstly I would be checking the servicing dealership's work as it is a bit of a coincidence that the fault only started on the way home from service. Secondly, stretched chains resulting in missfire usually throw up a code. Finally, a new genuine Nissan 3 x chain kit, slippers, guides and tensioners costs circa £350.00. 20 hours labour is ample for this job so depending on hourly labour charge, £1800.00 should cover it. The job can be completed with engine out or insitu. If you remove the front bumper, radiator support panel, radiator and condenser then access to the front chain cover becomes much easier without engine removal, and is doable in 10 hours to replace the chains etc with engine insitu. As has already been said, best to get a second/third opinion from a VQ35DE specialist. Alex.

Liam, May be a plan to pull the rocker covers and check the valve clearances and also for worn cam shaft lobes. Alex.

I hope that you are faster at picking up the dodgy posts than you are in your Nismo 370. :lol: Congratulations mate: Alex.

This: ^^^^^^^ Alex.

How come the Ebay seller has the same user name as your self Auzyfozy ? Alex.

What was the answer that you were looking for as that may help others. ? Also what was the fix to your low oil pressure issues as that may also help others with the same problem. ? Alex.

To adjust the alignment or replace the track rod end they would have had to slacken off the same nut that you have just freed off. Alex.
