Going to have to part ways with Her :(

[deankenny]

Im going to list my 350z for sale, as not being very mechinally minded, im a little out of depth, and would prefer her to get treated properly with the knowledge.

 

Its a Black 03 Reg import, 117000 on the clock, but being an import of course 80% + of that is in KM, but since then has had an engine swap from a UK model that had 40000 miles on it when it come out the vehicle. The story of all this can be read on the following thread. http://www.350z-uk.c...an/page__st__60

 

 

Its an ex Zed Shed car so its been in know how hands before while being done properly. There is a detailed thread on here of the bringing to life of this car.

 

I bought her with stone chip galore on bonnet and front bumper, this has since been resprayed and is all now pucker.

 

The boot lid is one area that may need attention fitting of the spoiler, including the sanding down etc of bootlid, it was resprayed but didnt match exactly, hardly noticeable until you go up close, ive attached pics for all to see what i mean.

 

Here comes the problems, which is beyond me, and trawling garages to keep finding out what can be done is too much effort with family and business to run.

I had a code reading today which brought back the following

 

Engine:

 

P0305 Cylinder 5 misfire detected

 

P0311 Cylinder 11 misfire detected

 

P1136 Intake variable Timing V/V - BI

 

 

ABS

 

C1130 Engine signal-1

 

C1109 Battery voltage abnormal

 

 

The car will sometimes come up with the VDC and SLIP lights both lighting up, i have not tried an ECU reset yet either.

Also there is a STILLEN straight through non resonated y pipe on there, which is quite noisy at 2-2.5k revs.

 

The otherwise drives and pulls like normal, which is why i cant figure it out. So im just testing the water here with you good guys on interest before i put the car on ebay.

 

any details or offers please pm me. I have no particular price in mind, all i know is how much i paid for it, and what im going to lose down to faults.

Sure it not down to wheels/tyres?

 

Put on some standard rays with standard tyres and see?

[deankenny]

its booked in Monday at a specialist for tracking and alignment, they have all sorts of modern machines it may solve it.

How much for the stillen????

[rtbiscuit]

i think it just needs some new spark plugs and possibly a new battery, the jdm cars ome with tiny batteries, and a sign of a dying battery is funny lights flashing up on the dash. and weird codes.

if I remember correctly it had 275/30/19 tyres fitted to the rear by the previous owner.they were brand new at the time you bought it but if they are close to the limit this will be enough to make the slip light cut in.(rears now having less circumference then require in keep with the fronts)..my first stop would be to replace rear tyres for 275/35/19 thus in keeping with the o/e specs..i am 100% sure you had 245/35/19 fitted to the front so there be fine.if I am right the rears will becausing your problems.
