Thanks. I'd look to replace it.

Actually looking around it doesn't seem that big but still interested to know what's involved. Also (sorry for ignorance!) is it a cam chain or belt? I'm hoping chain but even so does it or tensioner need changing at some mileage?

Hi Guys Planning to go 350z shopping this weekend. Car for sale (276 type) in the pics seems to have a pod-type filter at the end of the normal intake instead of the OE box and panel filter. Any issues with these on a 350, good/bad brands or things to look for? Also any other bad mods to check for? Cheers - thanks in advance!

Hi All Going to look at a 350 soon. The 54k service, I believe that's a big one? Is there a full list of what should be done please? (the link above doesn't seem to work) Thanks in advance.

thanks guys

We're back on the case of looking for a 350. Question as the subject - I know it depends but a guideline would be useful please. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that ... A quick search tells me this is suspension. What are the symptoms? Cheers!

Hi All I'm new on here. Thinking of buying a 350Z coupe, a standard UK car I expect. I'll take my time over it though. I've seen the useful intro thread http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=23843 but still have a few Qs. If they're already answered somewhere, sorry - please point me to the info. Also I'm in my 40s and had a few cars so it is 350Z specific info I'm interested in rather than general car-buying advice. 350 Milestones I've looked at parkers and seen the 3 states of engine tune offered at different times. Are there any other milestones to be aware of, e.g. cars before a given date had some issue that was fixed later? Versions For UK cars there seem to be standard and GT. As far as I can see GT is just equipment and no technical differences, is that right? Are there any other versions or significant factory/dealer technical options (LSD?) on UK cars to be aware of, to look for or to avoid. Issues to look for. I'll probably look at 03/04, low-mileage examples. I saw the info in the intro-thread, e.g. driveshaft clicking. Are there any other specific 350Z things you would look out for? Are there particular areas to check for rust on older cars? Services The intro thread talks about an expensive 4 year / 54k service. I'm not sure how that fits with the service schedule here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=32277 . Is P3 the expensive one? Are there other big jobs to look for in the service history such as timing chain / belt changes etc., and when would they be due? Thanks in advance!
