Concise video but straight to the essential. In just 11 minutes, you managed to show the process of a complete service overhaul. Your camera angles and position are really well done! This will surely help for the future maintenance work. Thank you again for the time spent on this video.
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Charlie Alec thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
all of the cuts/bruises/stripped threads/busted knuckles/cursing is strategically edited out :D.....if only I could get all that done this fast :D I know this is an old video, but it's still relevant because I just bought an 06 350Z and I'm excited to start tinkering with it!!
Good video. From my own experience i always change spark plugs on a second hand car as soon as I buy it because every second hand car i bought had the wrong spark plugs fitted. After changing for the correct plugs I always noticed a big improvement.
Great video as always! One thing you should buy is one of those magnetic spark plug socket. I've had a couple of spark plug sockets with those rubber things in them for many years and then I bought a magnetic one. Amazing tool and has probably been one of the best tools I've bought so far.
I'm terrified of Jack stands too! Wouldn't trust myself not to position them incorrectly or something. Luckily my Dad dug a pit in his garage years ago so I go there now! Great vid BTW!👍
Road and Race yes. Only issue with it is it's a little shallow. Could only get down just shy of 6ft due to rock. But sitting on a barstool makes most jobs easy.
Again a great episode! Especially the gearbox oil was looking really worn out... Do you notice better, easier shifting now? I wouldn't be too surprised if you would. It is good, that you mentioned the topic with the ramps and the car level, but surely it is good enough this way too. It is definitely better than doing nothing on service. Keep up the good work! I am already excited about the next episode and how much faster you will become with the training! Greetings from Bavaria
I would definitely put some antisieze on the spark plug threads before installing them. you can also get a spark plug socket which has a built in rubber gripper for about 5 bucks. thanks for the vid!
Thanks Neil great vlog i can't wait to see you on the track PLEASE please please do the bushes on the arbs' or if not a performance cone air filter to give you more power and induction noise :))
Yes, poly bushes are the next thing after brake ducts. Not sure if I’ll fit a cone filter, I’ve heard it’s no improvement and doesn’t give any real induction noise.
Hey, love your videos! Some questions about the bleed process tho, #8 said to repeat step 1-6 with radiator cap installed, should i just keep on filling the refill reservoir and rev it up, and repeat untill there’s no air when i open up bleeder valve? How will the trapped air go away if i cant open up and fill direcly in the radiator? Thank you, and again, love the content, even been watching your daily bmw series even thou i dont even own one due to how much effort and love you put in to your cars! We need a channel that focuses more on older/used cars with relatively cheap fixes. Keep it up and keep it budget friendly, much love from Sweden 👑
Hi Neil, i'm a 350z (04) owner from Italy, very interesting content mate, i just followed the same process but i have a question: after reinstalling the throttle body did u run the ECU reset procedure?
Yet again, an upload while I'm at work but thats not going to stop me from getting my daily Z content from a great channel. Love the fast updates on this car from this channel. Keep making more videos :D
Nice video, well done. And I applaud you for not waffling on and on and on like other TH-camrs , you just get it done! One observation though: You are draining oil while the car is standing on a slope, that is not the best way to drain all the old oil, plus when you use the gearbox and Diff filler hole to check the level, it will give you a false amount. It's probably not a big deal, but it would be better to have the car level. Keep up the good work :)
These videos are fantastic! I have a 350z which needs a lot of these jobs done and it looks a lot more simpler in your videos than people make it out to be
Very nice. I done all these with my cars too, plus I have learnt 2 more things I could do too , thanks for you. Also im seriously considering to get one of these Z-s . Another amazing vid. Good job man
Road and Race I would go today tbh. Im puttin my Is200 in good shape again so she must stay for a bit longer. But these vids are here now. Im sure loads of people find it useful n entertaining . Will try to support you👍
Great video Neil. Quality content as always, and production quality is always increasing. Nevermind the satisfaction of a job well done when you DIY! Cheers and keep up the great work 👍🏻
Something so satisfying about doing such a high spec service to a vehicle. Good job on doing power steering too, often overlooked. What about brake and clutch fluid? Cabin air filter? Is that a spark plug socket without a seal inside to grip the plug? Bit silly lol but good idea with tape
Does the car feel smoother now that everything has been changed? Some of those fluids looked quite bad lol. Like watching the videos u upload and looking forward to next time. I'd say if u can knock 15s off your time I would genuinely be amazed!
@@RoadandRacetv i know diff oil change does nothing as with miles we got on our 350zs those diffs are shot. Even nissan does not have that fluid in service book. Think most do ot cause its cheap :p
Just a humble opinion... Don't use Bosch products... they are bad. Spark plugs? NGK or Denso thats the way. Also, just put on a K&N air filter on it, it's better in the long run and you don't make to much waste compared to the traditional celulose disposable air filters. I also have a 350z, Mine is an 2006 Base model painted in Le mans sunset metallic like yours, great video by the way, but it hurts me seeing so many Bosch replacementes in a beautiful car...
Great video, just one observation, I would've repeated the distilled water coolant flush a few times until only clear water comes out. It looks like you've put in an OAT coolant, not sure what came out so would be good to repeat this next time you get a chance.
no. The service manual says 5w30 because the engineers designed it to use that oil and engineers that designed the oil channels in the engine know more than you do.
Love these videos, just bought a 350z and these videos are really useful. You should bring yours to Cadwell park next season, I'll be taking mine round.
This shows just how good the quality of your content really is. I can do all of these services on a car with my eyes closed and I don't even own a 350z yet I still watched the whole video... nice work man.
Curious which race ramps you're using? Looks like the 2-piece, but couldn't tell if it was 56" or 67" version. And also, which jack? Turns out my existing jack can't properly clear the underside of my 350 to jack up the front, even with the tyres on wooden blocks, so want to make sure I get one I know works this time!
If I can pick up a spacer cheap then I'll fit it. Best I can find is £180 which is too much for such a small performance gain for me. Didn't think the Motul oil needs it. Maybe a magnetic one in the future.
get one I'w got from austrailia for 97quid shipped. took me 2 hours. Amount of crap in lower plenum loool www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MACE-MANIFOLD-PLENUM-SPACER-KIT-TO-SUIT-NISSAN-350Z-Z33-VQ35DE-3-5L-V6/401304490869?epid=601132162&hash=item5d6f9c9375:g:45MAAOSwdGFYwlOr

Hi can u please let me know which clips I need to use on the battery covers 350z 2006 I buy clips and have handful but can’t seem to get the right ones Thanks regards Ron Hornsea East Yorkshire 👍🙂👍
I have a question, I took out my fans and drained the radiator because I got a new alternator but I filled up my engine coolant until it wouldn’t take anymore and took it for a drive and it overheated so I took it back home and filled it but it still overheats. What do I do? 03 350z by the way. Do I just keep filling it after driving around?

and?

Luckily my Dad dug a pit in his garage years ago so I go there now!
Great vid BTW!👍
Cool. So nice to have a pit.
Road and Race yes. Only issue with it is it's a little shallow. Could only get down just shy of 6ft due to rock. But sitting on a barstool makes most jobs easy.
You're very good !!! Watching those videos I feel like I can repair my own car.
Thanks mate. Give it a go, it's not really that hard!
Do a series against Car Throttle where you both buy a car on a budget fix it and get it ready for a track day or race
Would be cool. I'll propose it.
Great video. Makes everything look so easy. Thanks for taking the time to help us 350z owners.
Finally caught up with this one. Another great video. Was great to meet you in the weekend too. Keep in touch.
Thanks Dave. Yes, was great to meet you too. Yes, will do!
Beautiful video watched it like a million times
You really love your car
this my 3rd time trying to watch i’ve fallen asleep everytime
Again a great episode!

Thanks as always. No, not noticed any better shifting to be fair. Yes, I'm looking forward to the tuition too. I'm gonna go fast!
Great Videoo well done
Awesome video I like how you did it in one single chug, cheers:)
Thanks Filip.
Great stuff! Keep it up!
Thanks Mo!
I would definitely put some antisieze on the spark plug threads before installing them. you can also get a spark plug socket which has a built in rubber gripper for about 5 bucks.

Good idea that you changed power steering fluid. I boiled mine around donington haha
Thanks Neil great vlog i can't wait to see you on the track PLEASE please please do the bushes on the arbs' or if not a performance cone air filter to give you more power and induction noise :))
Yes, poly bushes are the next thing after brake ducts. Not sure if I’ll fit a cone filter, I’ve heard it’s no improvement and doesn’t give any real induction noise.
Most tricky dip stick for sure!
Indeed. Why so bendy?
SiMONEN there is a good way , think about it.
I just change oil every 5.000 km instead. Less risky and costs like 80 euros and takes 30 min tops. Worth it
Checking the oil is like picking a lock in oblivion
SiMONEN , watch what you’re doing , once you get the knack it’s easy, look where the top points and put it back like that, done.
Great video !!!!
Hey! What brand car ramps are those? I HATE! jacking up a low 350z, its just a pain. Amazing video btw, nothing else like it on TH-cam (:
Thanks for the Vids 🤙🏼

Nice, love these DIY videos. Do you miss your E92? Just sold mine for a Fiat 500 (serious regret)
Thanks Michael. I still have the E92 as it's not sold yet! That's quite a difference between cars!
This is the type of owner i want to buy a car from lol
Good Job.
I want to see a brake flush and power steering flush
We’ll done sir
Thanks Justin

Big thanks Tyler. Glad to hear you look forward to the vids.
BTW what camera do u use (10/10 quiality)
Glad you noticed! I use a Canon 5D Mk2 with a 24-105 L lens.
Narration (vocals) are a fresh tune to my ears other mechanic videos why are the men raising their voices ? It makes it hard to focus

Something so satisfying about doing such a high spec service to a vehicle. Good job on doing power steering too, often overlooked. What about brake and clutch fluid? Cabin air filter? Is that a spark plug socket without a seal inside to grip the plug? Bit silly lol but good idea with tape
Thanks mate. Yes both were changed in previous videos.
In the market for a 350Z this was a big help on maintenance. Thank you Sir.
me too buddy, wanted to check how difficult is to keep up the car and it looks good!
You helped me so much thanks
Start plugs holding the extension by hand!!!
same color as my 350z!😀👍
Does the car feel smoother now that everything has been changed? Some of those fluids looked quite bad lol. Like watching the videos u upload and looking forward to next time. I'd say if u can knock 15s off your time I would genuinely be amazed!

Thanks great video have my 2005 z for 12 months only has 57000 ks done 4000ks myself your video will make my job easier 👍
Another quality video. Looking forward to you getting close to speedy Gonzales.
just got this sweet series in my reccomended, keep it up! youtube is noticing your efforts
Many thanks Harold.
Super job now I have seen this vid I will be doing some changes my self thanks again 👍👍🙂🙂✌️
Thanks mate. What will you do first?
Will do belts engine oil 👍✌️✌️😀
I thought that cleaning the throttle body could cause the engine to mess up a little bit?
I have a 2006 automatic 350z. I'm trying too change the transmission fluid for the first time on my own
Don't use 5w-30 oil!!! It's bad oil for the Z. Use only 5w-50
no. The service manual says 5w30 because the engineers designed it to use that oil and engineers that designed the oil channels in the engine know more than you do.
@@bjornironsides6474 yes but service manual is bullshit, 5w30 was wrong for that engine!
So funny you mention removing the transmission fill bolt because ive been in a situation where i drained it and the fill bolt was almost stripped lol
you was in the movie the tooth fairy that where i remember you from
Whats the correct colour for the coolant ? OEM (L250) is blue isn't it ?
what type of rotors are those ? they are black they look coated in somthing what is it ? do you have a link for them? thank you :)
Love these videos, just bought a 350z and these videos are really useful. You should bring yours to Cadwell park next season, I'll be taking mine round.
Thanks Murray. Cadwell isn't too far for me so maybe!
I know this is an old video, but it would nice to see how much money you saved.
Marvellous video. Thanks very much 😊
Very well done. Thank you.
did you unplug the negative terminal of the battery before starting?
Error infinite loop

Hello. After clean throttle body do I need to relearn pedal position?
I spent two hours changing breaks while at work too😂😂 it’s crazy when the need is great time consuming sometimes but we’ll worth it and satisfying💯👍

Quick tip ur supposed to use old oil to seal your filter it seals a lot better
Thank you. I just bought a Z and your videos have help me a lot. Mines is a 08 in Texas.
Thanks mate. Glad they were helpful.
the car needs to be level for transmission and Dif oil changes
Curious which race ramps you're using? Looks like the 2-piece, but couldn't tell if it was 56" or 67" version.

Great informative video!
good job!!! thanks
how much oil did you use for the servo? thanks
When You getting plenum spacer ?? You not put moly slip in to gearbox when changing?? No magnetic drain plug with oil change?
Nice job with flush of coolant :)
If I can pick up a spacer cheap then I'll fit it. Best I can find is £180 which is too much for such a small performance gain for me. Didn't think the Motul oil needs it. Maybe a magnetic one in the future.

Do the gearbox bolts have a crusher washers?
we didnt get to see how she runs after that spectacular service. This mightve really set the bar for what a healthy 350z would sound/drive like.
Fluidtastic, nice job 👏
Thanks as always mate.
Really good video, preparing myself to replace my oil gallery gasket, timing chain, tensioners n guides, and all fluids as well.
Good choice of engine oil. It should last 15,000 miles
Start the plugs in by hand, don’t cross thread, bad!
Muito bom!

Thanks mate. Glad you've noticed the improvements.
What size oil filter socket do you use?
Good video. Sorry to see all the rust under the car though, but I reckon that is the shitty rain weather in the UK yeah? :D
Thanks. It’s likely the salt we use on the roads in the winter.
I have a question, I took out my fans and drained the radiator because I got a new alternator but I filled up my engine coolant until it wouldn’t take anymore and took it for a drive and it overheated so I took it back home and filled it but it still overheats. What do I do? 03 350z by the way. Do I just keep filling it after driving around?
Great video! Enjoying the 350 content as planning on getting one as a drift car soon so nice to get abbot more of them in my life👌🏻
Great video, if you showed the bleeding process it would be perfect.
