Jay M1988 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hey all, Right I've a car I'm interested in but if I'm honest I need the 350z gurus to help me on it and let me know any flaws or points of interest I'm in discussions with the owner so can ask what I need. Ill pm advert preferably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay M1988 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I've been informed through a friend that the older 350z suffer from gear synchro failure? How do I test that this 350z is okay, do I check a code before I purchase. The seller is happy or me to drive the car how do I test this. Little wary as I'm no engineer.

Jay M1988 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Messaged hd mate thank you, it's based in skipton anyone local to come along an check it out who know what they're talking about this Saturday. I think the mot will be done by my garage if I purchased, just want someone to give it the once over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Don't poo your pants about putting the advert up......bottom line if someone is looking for a zed then the chances are they've already seen it. Hard to help without seeing at least something of the car. I'm no expert (much to the contrary of my post count) but I don't recall a thread ever coming up about gear synchro failure. Check the buying guide out......that'll give you all the buying hints and tips that you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay M1988 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks ricey much appreciated ill get hunting through that now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Just to forward the bite is quite high on the zed clutch so provided your getting a good bite don't worry too much about the clutch (high bite can be a sign of a clutch on the way out). They last as long or a short at the person driving the car. Some peeps have had well over 100k on a single clutch and others have had to replace at 40k.

KUGT4 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 when was looking - - anything pre march 2006 model to avoid new ved road tax - anything late 2004 onwards to avoid gearbox issues - preferably a 'rev-up' 300bhp model ...ended up with a low milage GT4 model - ticks all the right boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
