Jim10kking Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 Thanks dude! Ive been trying to find that post you posted on your sad oil starvation! I will do the upgrade on mine to sort the inevitable. Could you send a link? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote
laytonanthony Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Tbh the leaking gaskets will just drop oil pressure and then would throw an MIL light. You wouldn't loose oil as it would just run down the timing case/chain and back into the sump. It's not actually hard to do once the chain is exposed! Quote
laytonanthony Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I think yours will have the upgraded gaskets! Quote
Jim10kking Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 Oh right. Just thinking of doing it before anything could happen. Mines only done 14k miles haha. Pretty good. Very impressed with your R8!! What's the difference in driving? Crazy? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote
laytonanthony Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I don't think you need to worry for atleast another 30+k. Will be fine. The R8 has always been my dream car as was the gold/orange 350z. The 370z was the next natural step after the 350z. I really enjoyed my 370's and they are a fantastic car but the audi R8 really is a different class and drive. Obviously it's has a V8 with an extra 100bhp over the 370z. For me it's the drive and comfort you get from a super car. Now it has the F1 exhaust the sound of the V8 is phenomenal. People in the streets literally stop to watch it go past. I'm planning on going on the next meet to let fellow zed owners have a blast. Your more than welcome to have a go. Only problem is that you will want one after 🙈 Quote
Steel Lynx Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Welcome to the forum. Add your number to the list http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/39625-370z-black-editions-whats-your-number/ Quote
sipar69 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Still one of the best looking 370s. Enjoy. Quote
blobbish Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I think yours will have the upgraded gaskets! I can tell you that unless they have been replaced by a previous owner they will not have the new gaskets. I'm having a SC fitted at present and decided to get them done at the same time due to half the work needed to get to them being done as part of the SC install. Mine had started to disintegrate and now awaiting shipment from the US as Nissan cant get them till the end of Feb. Its worth noting that I track my car, a lot and drive it quite hard (once its upto temp) and never experienced any issues with oil pressure. Its just one of those things that can happen regardless of mileage. Rob Quote

blobbish Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 It's just one of those things. I may have been fine for many more miles, you just don't know. For me regardless it was a good time to do it because of the SC. Not sure I would have bothered if I wasn't having the SC fitted if I was honest. Quote
