Little known facts about the 350Z

[coldel]

Frost Blue possibly?

Frost Blue possibly?

 

 

Yep. I think they were actually called Frost Grey rather than Frost Blue - my mistake. If you google 350z Frost Grey you can see some pix of them.

 

In addition, on the roadster, if you had the frost interior you could spec a grey roof to match!

[JetSet]

That's interesting, I always thought frost grey was only available on the 2007 facelifts. However, that is a U.S car.

thought thats just the white? lol Is that what the whites called? or am i not seeing the subtle blue in it?

If you go above 105mph... the bonnet pops up FACT!

 

After going about 105mph.. you have brown stained seats. FACT.

 

After getting brown stained seats... you realise you can stop from 105mph to 0mph in face rippingly quick time. FACT

The inside of the backbox looks like this

This must be classed as "Hidden Compartments"!

A well maintained Zed shouldn't cause all that to happen. I'd be questioning the person who sold it to you rather than just ranting on here.

This thread is awesome, I now need to go find a boot release I didn't know about and try to make the cd change when holding seek!

 

FWIW, one full tank of 102ron fule will last approximately 8 laps on the Nurburgring, great fun starting the laps to find the fuel warning light coming on a day after you filled up!

 

likewise 1 tank of fuel is enough to drive from basingstoke to Adenau (just out side the ring) 450 miles ~ and still only put in 62L

 

There's a pointless little card holder on the passenger side that is just big enough for a credit card, and great fun when you tell people it's your glove box and they should push the button to open it

sounds like you bought a bucket mate... you should have asked on here before buying and somebody would help you look at it. The airbag light is an easy fix. The eml may be decats or something causing it.....

 

I drive mine hard always. Never had an issue.

doesnt use down force to produce its grip

no its grip is because she weighs the same as a german tank

there is a boot release under the rear strut brace From - me being a genius

 

Which is great unless you have a tonneau cover installed & its impossible to get at

I cassn't find it.

[docwra]

Its a flat tab, about 25mm long on the underside of the strut brace about in the middle

[Aust350z]

After 5 years of ownership I found the intermittent control for the rear wiper blade yesterday. I pretty proud of myself

[docwra]

Few more Ive discovered recently:

 

The JDM fuel consumption thingy wont show less than 3.1 km/l (thats 7.2 mpg)

It is actually possible to hit cats eyes with the front bumper if you run low enough

Trying to use the emergency boot release when the gas strut things arent working is painful.
