Hi all, Started my 2007 350Z Rev Up this morning and it doesn't sound right. Watch both videos and let me know what you think. Video 1 Video 2 No CEL; no codes either. A/C on/off doesn't seem to affect the pitch or frequency. I can't exactly pinpoint where it's coming from but it sounds like it's coming from near the crank/A/C compressor area? Frequency changes with RPM. There's also a weird white notch/line in the A/C belt which I can't remember being there which is possibly related. I've already booked in to see a local mechanic tomorrow but I'm hoping one of you lot have had this issue before. Slightly bricking it!

I'll have a look. Cheers

Received and fitted parts. Confirmed no condensation in the P/S headlight. Just checked today and I can see some moisture building up again Next steps?

I would take them off your hands but my clutch is in pretty good nick. I do know of a guy on one of the FB forums, him and his son are working on a 350Z doing basic servicing like brakes and stuff. Potentially an offer to be made to him if he needs it?

Glad you've sorted it. Take this second VIN page I found, completely different order... Not sure if it's based on DE/DE Rev-Up/HR, model year or possibly manufacturing location? You sure it isn't undersealed? I was under the impression that 350Z's were undersealed but it was a very thin and sparse coat. Pathetic attempt really for UK road conditions. According to the Vcheck I did, there's been 8 previous owners. Who knows what's been messed around with and not done properly. VIN: (not sure which model year this is for, found here)

Ignoring the huge wall of text. Are you sure you've read the VIN correctly? JN1GXXX is a Coupe body type according to the attached photo. I don't think it's an import. Vcheck agrees: https://www.vcheck.uk/report/SB05DAU-4LF5DZZ 2003 VIN Decoder:

Noticed some condensation inside the P/S headlight so I got to work. Replaced the actuator seal (bottom of headlight) and the main cover (rear of headlight; disc shaped) on both headlights. Off the back of a recommendation from @Olly350z, I put both headlights in the airing cupboard overnight which worked a treat. The moisture had completely evaporated from the P/S headlight when I checked it the next morning. I should've taken an after photo but it just looks like a stock headlight now 😆 It's a bit of a mess in the garage at the moment; I've been wrenching away on my new Cappuccino.

Nice work, looks great

Look here. The bolt looks like 14069-31U0A and the nut 08918-3081A. I couldn't find a UK supplier that has these in stock (TORQEN doesn't have them) so you'll have buy from Japan. Use amayama if you do, I used them last week for some 350Z parts. No issues A much simpler route is just measuring the bolt (M6, M8, M10?) and length. It's a flanged hex I can tell you that. You could probably get like 20 for a £5 on eBay EDIT: TORQEN does have the nut in stock. Here

Just get Horsham's one, cheap and straightforward. I've got it on mine

Thanks for the information. I ordered the correct parts then. Near 2 month wait on the covers though, hopefully it arrives sooner.

Legend, thanks

They need a sand, polish and lacquer. It's on the list.

No worries, thanks for the help. @ZMANALEX any idea which one I need?

Thanks lads, appreciate it! Last question, for 26800N there are two available options, 26029-AQ000 and 26029-CF40A. Either of you wouldn't happen to know what one I'd need for my Rev Up manufactured in 2006? Saying that, maybe I should see if there's a part number for the cover on my car right now. I can cross verify it

What part do I need exactly? Looking on amayama, I can see two different part numbers for the cover with O-ring. Link here. Also, do you think it's worth replacing the O-ring underneath the headlight? You'll see what I mean on the link

Both front arch protectors are brand new as I replaced them roughly 6 months ago. Will check the O-ring 👍

My 350Z and friend's F-Type. Love the 911's in this colour!

Hi, I've just noticed some condensation inside the P/S headlight. I did give the car a quick clean yesterday with a pressure washer but by no means was I holding it an inch away from the headlight seals. Reading some other posts said cracking them open wasn't the best idea? Should I get a professional in to do it? Best to do both at the same time? I'm decent at car DIY. I reckon I could sort if given some trusted advice. Thanks!

P3 service and 4-wheel alignment today at Horsham Developments. - Oil & Oil Filter - Clutch fluid - Brake fluid - Coolant - Gearbox fluid (+ Liqui Moly Molyslip) - Differential fluid On another note, I've got a new project 😀 1995 Suzuki Cappuccino

Seems like an absolute steal. Best of luck

Maybe disconnect the wiper jet and try blast it through with a hose pipe or air line? I'm assuming it's just clogged up with debris, put some pressure through it Also, find the longest needle you have and poke it through all the holes

Great work! Most would give up on the first hurdle.

Plate was P18 H*W. Had a huge exhaust. I think I spied a 350z-uk.com decal in the side window also I wasn't driving my Z, was in a black VW T-Roc

Thanks Coz, I'll take a look at AMF. For future readers, the cat code can be found on the mounting bracket with the 2 bolts. I had to run some steel wool and emery cloth over mine to make the code visible.
