Intentional typo? Thanks Mike, I should've linked to the existing guides too sorted, it was taken from elsewhere

no throttle I would of thought never need to press the throttle when starting

and also this Nissan's 350Z carries on (and restores) the famous Nissan Z car tradition. Mixing reliability and good build quality with a silky smooth 3499cc V6 and rear wheel drive. While they are still available new (priced far less than any real competition) there is a growing used car market as owners upgrade to the latest spec. or get banned for drifting round roundabouts! As with all Japanese cars there are loads of imported (JDM) cars on the market too. Briefly... you can't take the roof off without a saw it is a Coupe, if you can it is a roadster. (Don't make yourself look stoopid by talking about buying a 350Z cabriolet!) If it is a 350Z GT, Gran Turismo or has the GT pack fitted it means it has heated seats, cruise control and upgraded (Bose) stereo. When new dealers charged an extra £2000 for this. There is a GT4 limited edition too. If it a Fairlady, Version T (Lux) it is an import. While the 350Z is pretty reliable there are a few problems which happen to most cars. While most of these should have been fixed by the dealer under warranty there are a few that have not materialised until the warranty has run out. UK spec. cars have the usual Nissan 3 year warranty. If the car is under warranty and there are outstanding faults this may indicate a reluctance to visit the dealer (big service due? modifications that may invalidate the warranty?) These problems are... Tyres feathering, uneven wear, grumbling at low speeds. Grumbling at 15 to 30mph is usually caused by the tyres, if it has original bridgestones. Feathering, scrubbing and un-even wear is probably bandly set tracking. Nissan issued a bulletin on this subject which you can see at http://www.bonell.pl...ce bulletin.pdf Rear axle clicking noise. Sounds like something left underneath. Usually does it when shifting from reverse to forward or initial load when moving off. This is caused by the driveshafts. Due to the work involved make sure the price reflects this if the car is not covered under warranty. You can read the bulletin at http://www350z-tech...._From_Rear_Axle Gearchange can get a bit notchy in 4th and 6th if thrashed or neglected. Bose CD player skipping. The Bose system is intended as an upgrade but the CD player tends to skip or jump. Usually when my CDs are on. If my good lady puts 'Chick flick sondtrack' or 'Cheezy 80s cack' on it is fine! Yet as soon as the White stripes, the Who or the Zep are on it sounds like the dance remix! Most have been fixed under warranty though. The N/S speaker can cut out when playing CDs too. Best to administer a sound thump to the passenger kneepad area (With your hand. Put the hammer down!) Squeaky brakes. This is what happens when you fit big Brembo racing brakes to a car then people drive it like a Fiat Punto. Seat Turbo R and Mitsubishi Evo owners cars suffer from this too. Funnily enough those cars all have Brembo brake callipers too! At times the odd squeak from the brakes can be embarrasing but as a car mechanic I am happy as long as they stop the car when I press the brake! Some owners complain about a spongy pedal too. Because the Brembo brake calliper has large brake pads more effort is required when the pads are cold. Sometimes over-zealous owners overfill the brake reservoir too. Because there is no space this causes the master cylinder to draw the brake pistons back in overnight, so when you come out in the morning, half asleep picking kebab from your teeth and yellow stuff from your eyes, reveverse out the drive and shi...get a big fright and have to pump up the footbrake, thats what causes it! People always complain about handbrake travel (not just on Zeds, on all Nissans) For some reason Nissan like the handbrake to come on a convincing amount. If overadjusted, the rear pads will heat up and cause terrible brake fade. Tailgate trying to eat you. The stops can be adjusted by taking them off and spacing them. Dealers can get the correct pads for doing that. If ignored the struts will weaken and adjusting the pads won't work. Scratches/stonechips on bumper. This is normal because of the shape of the front of the car. There are 2 ways to stop this happening. 1.Buy something else 2.Buy some clear film and fit it before it happens. Most car accessory shops sell this film. I would recommend the later option. It is better to see a few stonechips than a horribly repainted bumper, bodged because they are trying to sell the car! Finally, if the car is over 4 years old or past 54,000 miles make sure it has had its major service because it is a biggie! (Currently about £500!) In addition to the above remember all the usual car buying rules. To summarise... 1.If you are buying off ebay, don't hand over a penny until you have actually touched the car and seen the registration document. 2.Take the Missus. While you are picturing yourself driving along the seafront with girls swooning at you the battleaxe will be noticing scratches, stains and asking 'Why are you selling it if it is so good'! 3.Get it HPI'd. Don't bother doing this to them all but if you are serious, get it done. It will avoid tears at bedtime. 4.Phone the dealers in the service book. Nissan servicing can be pricey so there is a temptation to commit 'Service book fraud' Nowadays any dealer mentioned in the book will have a record of each service being done (or not done!) 5.Don't be forced into anything. Good as it is, there are plenty 350Z about so if you have to walk away, walk away! I hope this guide has made you more aware of the 350Z rather than put you off.

all sorted now

new struts, re gas your struts and or remove the weight in the boot lid. There is a guide in the guides section on how to remove it

moved from forum discount. Not quite sure how you worked out this was the correct subforum to post in

yep there are a few members who are previous Type R owners My misses had one so drove both regularly. You wont be disappointed with the Zed. Torque is very linear compared to the type R but can be very deceptive. Look down at the speedo and you'll be surprised at the speed your doing. Personally I would go for manual. Tiptronic is only an option JDM zeds. 20 ish around town but on the motorway you be in the around 30mpg. It's a V6 afterall. You can improve fuel a bit with a map. There are four or five dealers who can do this in the UK.
