Mark Nahh its cool, i know what its like when you have been on a forum for a long time, and see the same old questions come up time and time again! I sympathise with you! I did read though, and nothing really directly answered my question, just kinda skirted round it... Quote

No, Renault use a version of the Zed engine in some of their cars as part of a technology sharing agreement. Don't listen to the Nissan haters who say its a french engine. It's probably one of the most reliable lumps around, and there's no cam belt to worry about; chains baby! Quote
D4XNY Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 Yeah i got told no cambelt? So if it never has to have a cambelt change, is there anything else big it has to have done, or just the routine P1, P2, P1, P3 service etc.... Quote
matth76 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 On my last car the timing chains needed doing around the 80-100k mile mark (that's only if you hear chain rattle though). It may be different on the 350z. Depends how good the chain tensioners are too. Quote

Dont worry about the P3, P2 and P3 are the same on the Zed... Nissan just charge you more! Quote
R800NER Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Popchargers are a cost effective replacement for your air intake/filter box, which is cheap and sounds great. It makes the car sound quite deep at low revs, but not too intruding and then when you give it some beans, it gives an almost VTEC like response with regards to noise. Don't expect any performance gains (ECU cancels out iirc) and it's primarily there to put a smile on your face for a few quid! I love the sound personally and I think this video demonstrates it very well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=6sjQEHXsGek Especially the drive by noise! Quote
NWZ Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Hey R800NER, nice find on the vid - quality shooting! And yes, fit a pocharger cold air intake (cai) and your grin factor will defo increase Quote
