cam position sensor?

Thanks for organising guys! Great to meet people again.

Nice to see you still pushing on Glen.

Over the past 2 weeks, my 06' 350z has been acting up engine wise. There are no definite check engine lights, but when I prompted the computer with a scanner, it gave me the P1078 engine code. Some of the problems I've been having include: a shaky/unbalanced warm startup (low rpms, ratlting, and sounding like it might lean out and die), a sort of chittering from 2.5-3.5k rpm when accelerating in gear (again only when warm), very sub-par fuel economy, and more engine noise than i'm used to when parked and idling. I recently changed the oil which originally fixed the same chitter that I had around 4 months ago, and its sitting at 130k kms. I have heard that spark plugs/timing chain issues might be the source of the chittering/extra noise (which are still oem). For mods, I only swapped a different muffler in maybe 10 months ago, which hasn't been an issue until now. I kept all of the oxygen sensors and catalytic converters, as I didn't want to cause a big change in exhaust backflow, but maybe now it's the issue IDK. Any possible solutions or next steps of action would be really helpful thanks!

Appreciate it ill PM now

I wasn’t sure but I don’t know the difference. the front splitter is in the car I got pulled off on a low curb.

Hi and welcome, hate to say that it's not a Nismo edition but a nice gift

Have you bought a replacement? If not, judging by the way it's snapped, it's likely you'll need to. If so, pop us a PM with your VIN so I can shoot you a link over to the correct one for your car.

Hi all my name is Adam, my dad gave me his 02 350z fairlady as it’s been sat for 2 yrs. it’s the manual and he said it’s a nismo. it needs love but she starts on the button and drives. Not sure what to do with her

Hi all! 2007 350z HR I recently tried installing an aftermarket steering wheel and in the process of taking off the OEM steering wheel I've snapped off part of what I thinks the clock spring and ripped the long spiral cable, now traction and ESP lights are constantly on and sometimes my break lock up before displaying the lights. Done some digging and it seems I need to re calibrate my steering angle sensor and I don't think I'm any progress with it so any help is appreciated, Thanks! Pics are below

Hello and welcome!

You can clean as normal, same products, methods, etc. You're not going to do any damage agitating or washing as you normally would. It's just polishing that you need to adjust - and most people don't polish wheels anyway - even then it's just a case of not using abbrassive compounds. You can still "polish" with non-abbrassive paint cleansers, for example. You should avoid anything with fillers too, but nothing's got enough fillers in to make a satin finish truly glossy. If it were me - wash and decontaminate (i.e. fallout & tar removers as needed) as usual. You can use specailist matte shampoo (which may slightly prolong the coating's lifespan) and/or quick detailer if you want to. I'm not a huge fan of quick detailers in general and a normal shampoo won't really adversely affect anything so it depends on whether you want separate products just for the wheels or not. Coat: Nanolex SI3D Matte comes a set with panel wipe and is a case of applying the product and just keep spreading it. Or, IPA wipedown (or Gyeon Prep, or Nanolex Ex can be bought separately) and then Gyeon Q2 Matte Evo, which is the more traditioanl wipe on, buff off job but comes with Cure which can be used as a quick detailer after application of Matte. For maintenance, regular washing every couple of weeks should be sufficient to keep on top of things. Occasionally through some iron remover and tar remover at it when needed and then top up the coating once a year or so. As mentioned above, your choice of shampoo will make such little difference (so long as it's pH neutral - most good ones are) that Gyeon don't make a matte specific shampoo - they would recommend standard Bathe (not Bathe Plus) which is a good shampoo if you need something, but use up what you've got first.

Nice pics Andy thanks for sharing

Hi a welcome 😁

Welcome along!

After seeing a few of your members cars at Japfest today, I thought I would join you guys Had my 370Z roadster a year or so now, hadn’t seen another blue one other than mine until today 😝 hopefully get to some meets this year if we get some decent weather Steve

Blue one might have been me if it was a roadster ….just after I got it 🙈

What about the cleaning of said wheels, say using wheel cleaners like autoglym magma or clean wheels? Can you still aggitate with a brush? Would you mind linking any products? I know you're hot on your detailing so was hoping I might get a reply from you. This is my first time dealing with satin compared to gloss so I'm keen to try and learn as quickly as possible

Great day as always, thank you to those who organised.

I've used Finishcare hi-temp paste wax on my wheels for donkeys years. As far as protection goes I've found nothing better.

Avoid polishing with abbrasives, otherwise nothing special required. Waxes / C5 won't affect the finish noticeably, at least not unless it's side-by-side with an unprotected section (which I'd advise against for more reasons than just looks) and even then it's not going to suddenly turn the finish glossy. If you are particularly worried about retaining the satin finish, I'd recommend either Gyeon Q2 Matte or Nanolex Si3D Matte - either would work well on wheels and are designed for a matte or satin finish.

Just paid, please would someone copy and paste me down as paid, thanks in advance 🙏
