Leosille Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Was just wondering how much i would be expecting to py for this work to be completed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Nothing for cambelt as it doesn't have one. Spark plugs vary depending on year of car. Nissan way too expensive. Traders on here approx 60-100 quid plus 2hrs labour approx at a local garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Neilp can do it. PM him pics of your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I would also recommend that you put up an intro in the intro section and let people know a bit about you, your car(a pic maybe) and a rough location. People will be able to welcome you and help you with more accurate advice about where to go and where to buy from etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Don't beat yourself up, I asked my local Nissan dealer once for a price on a cambelt change on a 350 and they came back with a quote I was only testing them out as I needed a service, obviously I didn't go there I miss the old Neil too this one is all friendly and nice :thumbsdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackosr Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I got 6 plugs for around £60, local Nissan quoted £30 each! They also quoted 2 hours labour, so i was looking at around £300 all in. Main staeler by name, mani stealer by nature!! Opted to do it myself, a little fiddly, but for my first attempt sucess in under 2 hours!

Leosille Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 so what is the zed using instead of a cambelt? Is there anything i need changing its last service was 52000 now its got 60000 a year later any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It has a timing chain. Oil filter, decent oil, air filter, sparkplugs. Not necessary but I would do, gearbox oil and molyslip additive, diff fluid Zmanalex supplies genuine Nissan stuff. Not recommended to use aftermarket stuff as it doesnt go well in ye zed.

Leosille Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 when does the timing chain need replacing? So you recommend getting the car serviced i take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks foor the heads up Neil Leosille, the 350Z VQ35DE Engine has a maintenance free drive chain. The only belts are these ones, which are on the front of the engine: viewtopic.php?f=157&t=31548 As Neil has mentioned, I carry in stock all the proper service items and lots more. Have a look in here: viewforum.php?f=157 All in stock and good to go same/next day Just drop me a PM if I can help you further or if you have any further questions Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supratad Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Live! Live again! Arise, my beauty! So does the chain NEVER need replacing, like ever? I ask, because I made a rather spiffing crank locking tool for my Supra, so may sell it to a supra owner hopefully, unless it might be needed and modified for the Z?

AMT Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Not sure but I keep hearing keep an eye on it around 100K mark.Possible change then. Thats good enough for me! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I used to believe that the chains were good for high mileage, however in the past couple of weeks I have heard of 2 examples where the chains were stretched and had to be replaced. One was so stretched that one of the hydraulic tensioners was at the extent of its travel and looked like it was ready to drop out. The motor was noisy and the timing was fluctuating causing all sorts of intermittent issues. I believe that Nissan have improved the tensioner/slipper guides and the old style have now been superseded. However I still believe that with the chains, you do not have a problem until you have a problem. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Strange seeing this thread. I had a txt from a Nissan dealer a couple of weeks ago (I don't usethem) telling me my belt needs changing. Think that's a bit much for a less than two year old car with low mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor austin Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 My advice is to get the belts from zmanalex then you know youve got good belts and a good price and change them yourself as its such a simple job and takes under an hour allowing time to jack up and remove underguards etc..in any case you'll have to check tighten/adjust them after a 100 or so miles so might as well save yourself....
