RXS Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Hi there. Been lurking around on here for a couple of weeks but just wanted to say hi. I bought my 350z GT Roadster a few weeks back on a 55 plate in gunmetal. Just had a SS scorpion fitted which i love. I can only say that its my 1st z car and although i've wanted one for ages i can't believe you can get so much spec and performance for the money. Everything else seems so much more out of reach financially. My only real concern is a thread that someone put on here a couple of weeks ago about having suffered 2 blown engines in a week. Its a 3.5ltr V6 for heavens sake. Is this normal ? I would have thought these engines would last forever, especially being japanese too. Is the 350z a ticking time bomb ? RXS Quote
jumping350 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 hi and welcome mate!!post some pics up of your Zed if you can....yeah that was an interesting week i think maybe just a coincidence or an immense amount if ragging on the wrong fuel was a possibility!!but generally service it well have good oil in it all the time,run it on v power and i cant see why it would go bang without some serious abuse...hope your liking the forum Quote
Humpy Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Welcome to the forums and get those pics up of your car Quote
SteveRS Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Welcome along bud! As long as you look after the car and regular services etc it should be fine. I think it was maybe a coincidence that two engines went at the same time. Quote
cmck13 Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Welcome, 2 blown engines that must say something. Quote
Maccaman Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Hi & to the forum. The 2 engines were those of brothers & IIRC one Zed was sold to the other by his brother Quote
RXS Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 My word, you are a friendly bunch. Thanks for the welcomes folks. The 2nd mod has been completed with a k&n panel filter. Its started. I'm now looking at the Japspeed Y pipe as i read that they are the one to go for with the Scorpion SS system ? Its started. Whilst on the subject of air filters, why did Nissan decide to make it a 2 minute job to change an air filter that probably lasts for years, and think it was ok to have to remove the front end to fit a bloody headlight bulb ? An easy access point would have been nice. Still on the honeymoon period though and i'm in love RXS Quote

Be thankful it's not another model of Nissan though, or you might have to use a few tools to get to the filter too. Quote
