Currently sat in Tarmac's waiting room while Bob works his magic!

Clutch fluid level looks ok at first glance, flithy and needs changing, but levels look ok. I'll book it in to get the CSC looked at, thanks.

Hi All, 2010 307z here with 55k on the Clock. Did a long drive from Leeds to Edinburgh this week for work and the car was flawless all the way up, but the following morning I had no clutch pressure and couldn't get her into gear. Engine was running for a few minutes while I figured out my next steps, tried again, and went into gear no problem. One the way home she was fine starting off but after about 2hrs of motorway driving with no gear changes, I came off the M6 for the services and the clutch was the same. No pressure and refused to get into any gear. I cruised into the services in Neutral, waited a few minutes, and the gears would work again. Managed to get home but it was very hard changing gear after that. Is this the fabled CSC issues I keep reading about? Would looking to replace that be the first option to look into? Any suggestions very welcome.

Absolutely. Within 12 hours of me getting the news from the Garage, ZMan has not only found a replacement part, he's packaged and shipped it I need to send him a bottle of something as a thank you

Awesome, thanks. I've PM'd you (Although did so before I saw this reply)

Hi All, My 370z on a 61 plate (54k miles) failed it's MOT today due to a corroded rear subframe, which I've been told needs a complete replacement. The garage have been quoted £1340 for the replacement from a main dealer, but I know they are often the expensive option and seems high on some 10 min research online. Does anyone happen to know if this is a reasonable price or where we could get one? I had a quick look on Tarmac's site but don't seem to have one listed so will call them in the morning. Also, any recommendations for work that would be worth doing while that subframe is being replaced? Bushing, suspension etc? If the car is off the road and going to cost me a few grand I'm tempted to do it properly. Any advice for a total non-mechanical Zed own would be appreciated. Cheers,

Welcome!

Hi All, I'm part of the NXTGEN SimRacing Group (https://www.nxtgenracing.co.uk/) and this season we will be using the Greddy Fugu Z (https://gran-turismo.fandom.com/wiki/GReddy_Fugu_Z) in our GT league. As this is Zed themed this season, I was wondering if there would be anyone happy to add their name as a sponsor to this? We'd put a logo of their choice on the livery of all cars, the events are live streamed on Twitch with commentary and then available on Youtube. I'm not looking for much at all, but to be able to add something Zed or Racing themed as a small prize or incentive for the winner(s). Full Details here: https://www.nxtgenracing.co.uk/gts-greddy Current sponsors include Power Maxed, Thrustmaster and FastR, but if anyone is interested, please drop me a PM. Season starts on Jan 13th If you fancy taking part and have a PS4 / PS5 and GT Sport, there are full details about signing up on the above links.

Hello! About 8 years ago I had a 350z for roughly a year until child No 3 appeared and I switched for a family wagon, but always said I'd love to get another one at some point. Well today, I got back into Zed ownership with 370z! I'm sure pictures will come when the weather is a little better. I was at the 2013 Wales meet and still have the pictures pop up on my Facebook memories, good to be back!

Mine is up for sale: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201308158332905/sort/default/usedcars/model/350_z/make/nissan/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/radius/1/page/1/postcode/hx12qd?logcode=p Let me know if you're interested.

I've got one for sale. Just moving some bits on before I sell the car. Drop me a PM if you've not found one already

It's looking like time to put my 350z up for sale. Change of cicumstances and increased traveling in my job role have lead me to start thinking with my head instead of the heart and look for something more practical. The Car: 2004 GT in Blade Silver. Private plate will be included in the sale, but I also have the old plates which will be thrown in. I bought the car on 47k back on Nov 9th 2012 from the Car People in Wakefield, as of today the car has just touched 65k. As you may have seen from some of my posts, a huge majority of that will be motorway miles and will still be used as a daily so that will increase. Car has been run on Shell V-Power apart from just one fill up when I was looking like getting stuck in the snow and put a tank of 95 ron in to make sure I didn't get stranded at the side of the road. Car has run flawlessly for my whole, brief, ownership and I still rate the drive out on the Saturday in Wales as the best fun I've had in that thing. It's never been on a track day while in my ownership either. History P1 - 8563k - 08/09/05 - Nissan Main Dealer P2 - 17538k - 17/08/06 - The Car People P1 - 22482k - 10/09/07 - Nissan Main Dealer P3 - 28201k - 27/08/08 - Nissan Main Dealer P1 - 32788k - 03/09/09 - Nissan Main Dealer P2 - 36486k - 26/08/10 - Nissan Main Dealer L2 - 42261k - 23/09/11 - The Car People L2 - 47942k - 20/09/12 - The Car People This is when I picked her up and she had a new clutch put in, although I was unable to get information from the dealership as to what make, so I assumed OEM P3 - 57318k - 01/05/13 - Lockwood and Greenwood During this Service I also had a front wheel bearing replaced (Invoice from CS included in sale) and new brake pads fitted. They had sorted out the tracking as it was slightly out. She also had new Falken 453's fitted to the front about 3 weeks ago. (Tracking again checked and found to be spot on) Rears are NOT Falkens, but have around 6-7mm tread left on them. Z Badges front and rear Stubby Ariel included Spec includes RAYS, Leather Heated Seats, Cruise , AC, Steering wheel controls and the BOSE system. 3.5l V6 Engine. 276bhp and I've averaged 29mph over those 18,000 miles I can honestly say that there are no real negatives to mention, other than age related bodywork. She drives like a dream and has never missed a beat. Few stone ships on the bonnet and a slight scuff of paintwork on the bumper due to clipping a curb in a car park. There is also slight curbing and bubbling on the RAYS, which could probably do with a refurbish in the near future. No other mods or engine enchancements;she's all stock. Not been involved in an accident, stolen or has any outstanding finance on it Taxed until April Next year, with MOT due to expire in November. Car is pictured with a Zunsport Grill which I intend to remove and sell seperatly I'm looking for £6,500 and am based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Please drop me a PM if interested and test drives will be permitted only on documentation showing a valid driving licence and valid insurance to drive someone elses car. The bumper scuff:

I love the fact that Batman worked in your pub

I've been meaning to take my 7yr old down to the Lane but he doesn't like crowds, so a box would be perfect! I'll PM you

I was just about to drop you a message on FB about this Will to see when it was, as I'd love to take the Zed on a track, but unfortunately I'm busy on the 18th
