350z Servicing
350z Servicing
the car is a 2005 GT4 Spec
now i dont think the cam belt has ever been done on it now the car is over 6 years old is it worth considering ?
if so is it like the IS200 where the water-pump is worth doing at the same time etc.
i will be getting the oils etc from Opie Oils and have a spec from them for what is needed
i have been "considering" a supercharger and opie have quoted colder plugs if i dont go for a charger will this matter in the long run ?
i was thinking of going to nissan but is it really need i have a garage that i trust and have done work on lost of my cars now so dont see why they cant do this one....
I think the service schedule shows it needing a P3 Service as the next point which consists of the following
Replace Engine Oil
Replace Engine Oil Filter
Replace LSD Gear Oil
NCVT Fluid Change
Replace Brake Fluid
Replace Air Cleaner Filter
Replace PCV Filter
Replace Cabin Air Filter
Replace Spark Plugs
Fuel Filter
Replace Coolant
were all into looking after the cars so anything else you recommend other than belts ?
oh i do have an error code coming up P1283
Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 Lean Shift Monitoring Bank 2
Possible Causes
- Faulty Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 Bank 2
- Faulty Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 heater Bank 2
- Fuel pressure
- Faulty Fuel injector
- Intake air leaks
- Faulty Air Flow Meter
OK so i need to get her serviced as the future of the car is still undecided

Rabster OK so i need to get her serviced as the future of the car is still undecided
Rabs, the 350 is a beautiful car but I have a suspicion your heart lies in a certain turbo IS200 that is still knocking around.

Mike got my oil and filter from Nissan
Oil 5LTR £14.64
Oil Filter £8.40
Crush Washer £1.20
Coolant 5 LTR £17.95 ALL inc VAT
(I think these are trade prices, but they weren't much more probably only 10%)
These were the prices the oil is what Nissan use in all of them, I know its cheap, they put it on offer and never raised it again, bargain!! I can't remember the make but its fully synthetic 10W 40. On the forum they suggest this or fully synthetic 5W30, but as the other is what Nissan use and its a bargain price, I got this one lol
Mine was supposed to have P3 but she's had/having basic this year and P3 next (only changing spark plugs when necessary - she's running perfect so why change them?)
I wouldn't bother with Nissan, take it to a garage you trust if you really want a stamp, for the big service mine will be going to a garage, but this time round we're doing it, as long as we have proof of receipts to show what's been done then what can they do, at the age the car's are now a stamped book won't make a difference to price compared to receipts.
The error code could be the MAF sensor, check whether it needs cleaning, it could be just a bit of dirt in there

I'm not convinced by 5w oils on performance engines, everything I've read says it's too thin so I stick to what i know works 10w. But opine prob know more than me.
