I had to replace both my sending and slave unit for my clutch. Also replaced the clutch. The issue I had was that the pressure needed to push the pedal was increasing. It got to the point where it was four times as hard as on my 2014 Infiniti Q60S. The slave cylinder had basically failed. But, instead of the clutch not working, it worked very hard. I could still drive the car and shift with no issues, though. This happened at around 115K miles. Bleeding these systems can take some time. I don't know why but mine was a bear to bleed. But, again I replaced both the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder. These cars have their little issues like any car, but they are generally pretty durable little cars. The Infiniti variants (G35, G37 and Q60) are also pretty tough little cars and based on the same platform.
I'd definitely be speaking to the tyre place, that obviously broke your wheel arch liner. I had a similar thing happen to my R32. I took it to a so called reputable VW specialist in Greater Manchester. When I was inspecting it, as I always do after being with a garage. I found that one of the mechanics had taped my engine cover back together from underneath, as he'd snapped it clean in half. I received a genuine replacement from the owner after returning the next day, and with my Yorkshire attitude, demanded that the damage what accured whilst in his care, was rectified. Don't take any sh#@t. Great vid.
Breaking down on the Kings Road ? I can imagine how everyone laughed and commiserated with you ! lots of satisfying jobs done on the car there , it really is coming together now .
I purchased my Zed 4yrs ago for 81k I'm almost at 120k I love my car! Super fun. I have the Ani edition in yellow, love your orange color! Learning alot from your series, please keep them coming I have to do a lot of work on mine as well so thanks for the videos!
That clutch issue happens with the Gulf too mate.Very handy to know about them clips going to buy a box.The 370 is coming on leaps and bounds.Adding a new RS front splitter to mine in a weeks time.
thanks Neil and again a great vlog still waiting for you to get those ARBs and drop links' done lol 'cos i curbed my alloy and was mad! with the sloppy steering on my C200 so i did ARBs as you know bushes fix handling after diagnosis... can't wait to see your new rubber being thrashed next vlog from Merseyside
Have a 2004 track edition 350z myself. 200.000km on it. Had a bad ignition coil.(buy and easy replace) For the rest, had no problems ever. Just plain regular maintenance. High quality cars, very good value for your money.
You should grab some spray sealant if you haven't protected the paint after claying. If you want to keep it simple something like Sonax Brilliant shine and a few microfibers would do the trick nicely. Just sorting out a load of niggles on my E92 M3 too like you are with the 350.
Fender liners are always missing in New York including my daily. We have very harsh winters. Anyways replacing it is smart as your car would hydroplane like crazy without. Ask me how I know
OOO could You link that Amazon box of clips ?? Was looking for something like that for ages !!! Also if it goes for clutch do the adjuicer trick and change the clutch pedal spring much better. BTW. Whan are You dumping those horrible leather seats ?? Was first thing to go in my Zee was all over the car in them :S
Will try to post that link today. It’s a good selection of clips! Not aware of the clutch spring change. Where do you get it? Does it make the clutch less heavy? Going to look at seats next week

I traded my leather with fabric ones on 350z fb club. Lighter and better side support and look better also :D BTW. So far remap made this car actually almost as fun as my DC2.
I personally like to use regular car soap with water in a 5 gallon bucket as lubricant for clay. I simply just rinse the whole car after I’m done claying and dry the car.
Coming along nicely. I am sooooo tempted to buy a 350Z as a weekend toy. Have you done a full service on it yet ?. If so, what are they like to service. Are the plugs easy to get too ?.
Thanks Paul. They are very good value at the moment. Full service will be done next week with a video to follow shortly after. I’m guessing it’ll be fairly straight forward to but we’ll see!
Neil - you've put all that work into cleaning the paint and you've left it completely naked?! Please tell me that you've put some form of paint protection on there post-clay? Looks like the car is coming together nicely - curious to see how performance continues to improve. It never ceases to amaze me how people neglect to take basic care of these expensive clumps of metal. SMH
After owning a 350z I really want to like this video but I can’t. I easily spent around £4000 on mine over 3 years repairing major mechanical issues and a ton of minor issues. That type of money plus the cost of the car and the insanely poor mpg could easily purchase an maybe a decent S5 or cayman-s.?
Nothing went wrong with his car, as he never owned one, he’s just trolling...as he posted, you interacted with him...he never responded to your questions. Can’t stand assholes like him.
Really enjoying this series, i own a 350z too very interesting and gaining a lot of knowledge from these vids! cheers mate
Thanks mate. Nice to hear from a fellow Z owner.
Great advertising for Cif and your new Clip amazon startup business! Great video as always, informative and funny. Can't wait for the one!

Good tips there especially with the clay bar and quick detailer I have a couple of them black lines will try this the weekend👍
awesome video man, keep up the 350 videos! really inspiring me to keep saving to get one for myself
Thanks mate. The Z is good value now so let me know if you get one!

Great vids as always! This is not a dig but I wish your videos were a bit longer.i enjoy them and they go too quick 😂! Keep up the good work 👌🏻

Always enjoy your content 👍 keep it up
Life savers you guys are 😎 another awesome show guys. Well done👌. I'm looking to get a 350 but make it to a drift car.
Did you get it?
These jobs are really paying off. So satisfying to watch.
Cant wait for the upcoming track video ...one of my fav 🤤

Really enjoying this series but missing the Clio one too :(
Hi I only just found your channel and sub’ed, I’m looking at buying either. 2003 Boxster 2.7 or a 350z which one do you deem the best and why?
Thanks

Nice video do u have link for weather stripe you bought thanks
Thanks mate. I got it from the 350Z UK owners forum.
Thanks for the nissan 350z
Vids
I should have replaced the CSC on my Z... Is bite point still super high? More predictable and consistent?
Yes, bite is still high but it’s nice and linear and consistent now.
Great update 👍
That amount of rust on yours really concerns me, do you drive it on salted snow roads in the winter or something?
That’s how I got it!
Neil - you've put all that work into cleaning the paint and you've left it completely naked?! Please tell me that you've put some form of paint protection on there post-clay?

Don’t worry. I went round and put carnuba wax on after.
Music on this is fire 🔥
“Rust problems” cleanest underside I’ve seen ffs 😂
Whats your mpg? On your Z im from la and they get 21 mpg
On the motorway it’s 28 to 30. In town 18 to 20.
Is Cif the same as Jif (asks the exiled Brit, who remembers Jif)?
I think so 😀
Did you ever sort the brake judder?
Yes. After we changed the brake discs and pads it went away.
Ah yes... silly me. Thanks! Mine feels like it's doing it on the front brakes, but they're brand new. Great series!
Any one knows the real mpg for this car?
About 29 mpg on the motorway at 70 mph. In town, not too sure, about 18 to 20 mpg.
I get 14 or 15 to the gallon xD
Thanks for the clips tip
One of the best sports cars for the price.
Enjoying the series, but please for the love of god change the music haha
Tanks Ben. Sorry to hear you want to change the music. What would you prefer?
I would replace the main unit with a 2din android one.
Good job :)
Thank you! Cheers!

The clutch issue. Hope this helps
this feels staged, 300k miles and 250k miles on my Z's and NONE of these issues...
Rear number plate is wonky!
On my 08 Nismo the slave cylinder is on the inside...boooo
That gearstick is disgusting please change asap also do more visual mods e.g. Tint, respray, spoiler, bodykit
The volume of the music chances too much when you speak
Liscence plate.......turns off 😖
