GuUmball Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hello folks, im a pround owner of a JDM 03 350z. ive had it for a week and noticed there is a brown heat spot growing on exhaust about the size of an apple, is this normal? thanking your replies in advance Mark Quote
Digsy Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I've not seen anything like that before on a Zed. What exhaust is it? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 This is certainly not normal and can indicate some sort of overheating due to possibly a baffle breaking up. If it's not rattling or making excessive noise I wouldn't worry too much. Quote
Chris`I Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Not seen that before, I'd get a mechanicly minded person to look it over properly to make sure its nothing major Quote
Ebized Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 As long as it dosen't do this (Pic courtesy of Mike in another posting ) Quote
Ebized Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 no not seen that before. you sure http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12242 Quote
H5 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Looks a bit strange. Is it on the surface or in the material itself? Welcome to the site too. Quote
GC350z Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Was there an impact at some point? Might just be the photograph but on the far left and directly under the burn mark there appears to be a sizeable scuff. Quote

lomoto Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 look's like a rusty exhaust to me if the cars 5 years old it is about on the way out I would imagine ?? Quote
