New throttle body, new throttle sensor, but still not fixed... 😬 This thread can be closed.

Looks like I might need to get hold of a replacement throttle body (RME70-04)... Anyone any thoughts on the best place to start?

Got sorted. CLOSED

The WD40 would be for the seat runners. In my case, and in most cases it seems, it was the switch that had become faulty rather than the motor. Replacing my switch fixed mine. There's a motor on eBay (see below), but give Nissan a try for the part as well. Charles Hurst Nissan sourced me a new switch for less than the second hand ones that were on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-03-08-NISSAN-350Z-POWER-SEAT-TRACK-MOTOR-DRIVERS-LEFT-SIDE-Forward-Reverse-/372165207217

Fun / hair pulling frustration... Either way... LOL I imagine I'd just make a balls of it to be honest. Plus I'd only really be interested if it matched my own, and I don't have much experience with painting etc. I'd probably only ruin it.

Is it all assembled and working? Any pics of the actual car?

Nice! I wonder if the bodywork would take to being sprayed.

For the benefit of anyone in the same boat as me down the line, I ended up just fitting the new switch myself. Fortunately my old one sprung to life again after holding it down for a while as I was driving; so I managed to drive home with the seat pretty far forward (I'm almost 6' 2"..) and got those pesky rear bolts out. If you have the seat forward a bit they can be accessed easily enough, and the rest is a pretty easy job with and extra pair of hands to hold the seat at an angle for a bit while you do the doings.

I've been looking for a model like this for years... Unreal effort mate. I just wish they were available to buy like that!

Decided to just bite the bullet and ordered a new one today from Charles Hurst Nissan... P/N 87016-CD411, for anyone who finds themselves in the same boat. Cost me £86.27 all in. Hopefully that'll do the trick!

Still looking a set of theses if anyone has a set going.

There's a link in the very first post of this thread.

Any ideas?
