slimjim Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I have my wonderful 350Z Cleaned her up last weekend... as some of you know.... viewtopic.php?f=9&t=40608&p=602605 But, what do I do now? (Other than keeping her clean and enjoy driving!) I want to be sure she is in tip-top condition. Not too fussed about modifications, for now. She is on 66k miles right now and had a P1 at 64k (08/12/09)... A friend of mine with a Stage 4 200SX has suggested I do an engine and gear box oil change. Using what he calls "decent" oil..... Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks! --------------------- Oh... if anyone is interested...

slimjim Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Mods! Whats been done to it so far HA HA .... Like I said, I am not too fussed about mods. It has a CAI (or "pop charger" as you lot call it for some reason!) Would I be better off taking this off and swapping it for an 06 box? The cotton filter is FILTHY, so I suppose I should change it really. Other than that, it is standard.... oh, I stuck an S2000 aerial on it... stolen from my previous car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Would sticking some of this in help? http://www.iridiumengineering.co.uk/synchromax.htm "SYNCHROMAX MTF OIL Synchromax is a manual transmission fluid that increases performance and the life of your equipment. It improves shifting, reduces gear noise and increases power transfer to the wheels. It also lowers operating temperatures and provides outstanding wear protection for longer transmission life. Synchromax is recommended for manual transmissions that specify an automotive transmission fluid (ATF) or motor oil. It’s also ideal for 4x4 transfer cases and motorcycle gear boxes. Synchromax is fully compatible with all types of friction materials. It provides excellent corrosion and oxidation protection without affecting the soft metals commonly found in manual transmission synchronisers. Synchromax is formulated with Royal Purple’s proprietary Synerlec™ technology for unsurpassed performance and protection" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demolition49 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Id personally put the stock 06 box on with a panel filter for performance over a sound improvement + looks i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Come along to the drive outs on 18/19 - only just down the road from you and where you meet lots of other 350 enthusiasts and pick up as much information as you will ever need. Plus on the Saturday afternoon at our 'base' at Moreton Park Lodge, Chirk - CIB Detailers will be on hand with their products to show you how to really clean a ZED well.

Just thought i'd clarify so you dont think we're all weirdo's for referring to all CAI's generally as popchargers Cheers for that... and for the record, I think you are all weirdo's for reasons OTHER than just the pop-charger thing ...

Watch the threads on the WALES II weekend for further info. Yeah, I had a look at the "drives" you are doing. Was a little worried I might not be able to keep up (with still being a little nervous of the loud pedal on my first every RWD motor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still new to all of this but it's huge fun, learning to drive the car well with people who know what they are doing is huge huge fun, you will love it and the roads there are some of the best. There's nothing like the sound or feeling of a 350z convoy. Well there is but that's another story... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
