The shift light is fun, I cant count how many times I’ve changed that since I got my Z prolly just cuz I know I can lol but if u been driving aggressively for a while and wanna chill it’s rly useful to slow u down, something about it just makes u obey lol
i can’t believe that people don’t know about the gas cap thing its not only a z thing its on alot of cars its common knowledge also this nigga gotta flip phone
The silent lock trick is dope. Never knew that. I park my car in my neighbors driveway and feel bad when I lock it at night bc it gets her dog barking. 🙌🏽
Absolutely just don't go over a half inch in the front and don't go over an inch in the rear if you do you'll run into issues and need aftermarket control arms 👍
@@TALONATER .. I have a 04 350z...and I have a lot of chatter in transmission...I replaced stock clutch with after market stage two..and changed flywheel but still have the chatter noise in trans...but when I engage clutch it goes away...but disengage clutch you can hear it again...any ideas what it could be and what to do...thanks

That issue with the trunk not opening properly is an easy fix -- On the interior side of the trunk hatch, close to where the trunk struts mount, there's a spring mechanism encased in a black rubber boot (Later models have one on each side). Remove the spring mechanism(s) by turning them gently by hand, then GENTLY (GENTLY!!) remove the black boot so the spring can come out, then drop two pennies (yes, the 1 cent coin) inside the boot and reassemble/reinstall. The two pennies raise the spring just enough so it makes proper contact with the release mechanism and opens the trunk like it's meant to.

Quick ?, I was wondering what setting the respected rpms does as in profiting the cars ability? N what is it for mainly ? Will I b able to rev at a higher rate if I set it higher then 200 n vice versa rev less ? I didn't get it
I know this video is old, but I wanted to know why you change the oil every 1500 miles. Is it just a personal preference thing? Great content man, keep up the good work. 👍👍😁
I have a automatic 350z 2006 it had a starter problem and I just bought a new one and send it to the shop so they can set up the new one and fixed the muffler but every time I don’t use it for a while and im about to start it it does the same noise the starter would do then I move the key back and try to turn it on again on the second time it turns on but why? If I just got the starter fixed I need help ASAP
I know this is super old. But. I weighted mine and it weighed in with glass around 80 pounds ish. I then got a dry carbon hatch with lexan rear window. And that weighed in around 25 pounds. So wet carbon might be somewhere near 60 with glass. 50 with lexan. The glass itself is about 10-15 pounds depending on who made it.
There's a 4th way to open the hatch for the 2004-2008. There's a small rubber flush mounted button the size of a penny on the backside of the left side of the steering wheel. I love it. Totally convenient.
hey one more thing that may help out underneath the plastic on the hatch there is a hidden weight it weighs about 5 lb if you remove that it helps even more 👍
Surprisingly the struts r like new, it’s bizzare it opens almost an inch just enough for your fingers to wrap around it but it feels like a locked door, then has to be pulled on as I hit the button again.
That's way too subjective bro it depends on what state you live in how many miles the car has on it which model you choose there's just way too many variables 👍
Hey everyone...so next month am buying a 350z but confused don’t know which model is the best ..some said 2007 but am think of 2009-2008 bcoz they are newer however hope u guys help coz I don’t waste my hardwork money of 8 months
the way he always looks around after leaving the house and goes back in the house after every point makes me wonder if he's wanted maybe that's why the car is so lightweight so we can get away
The only one of these that is even remotely a hack, is opening the gas door using the tab inside the hatch. The rest are all features that are spelled out in the owners manual.
😂 Wow do you not know how to read an odometer i even said it in the video 210.0 thats 210 miles grasshopper lol you dont read past the decimal this would be what your referring to 2100.0 mabe you shouldn't do quick maths 🤦♂️

Yeah and he also has a 350z, not a 370z or a Nismo 370z. Some people like to save money for other shit in life. He should be lauded, not made fun of.

Do you recommend lower the 350 to give it a better look?
Absolutely just don't go over a half inch in the front and don't go over an inch in the rear if you do you'll run into issues and need aftermarket control arms 👍
You need to do the ‘penny trick’ on your boot (rear hatch) so you only have to press it once 😉
Too late bro my hatch is now held on by rubber bands 👍
