350Z and 370Z serious used bargains
Sometimes i drive with basketballs in the back of my z and one time i was in a situation where i had to slam on the brakes and three basketballs came flying into the front seat lol, fun times
The first and about the only mod I did to my Z was
to replace that plastic engine splash shield
with an Aluminium
shield from TBW. The new aluminium shield has a
door in it that allows you access to the drain plug and oil
filter by just removing two screws and dropping the little door.
Definitely going to do the Trunk expansion mod! I have never even thought about going about it that way. Looks OEM too, good job mate!
Great vid sir. I can’t wait to try a few ideas like painting the interior door handles in my soon to buy Z.
Thanks for the video, great useful information and that Orange is my favorite Z color. I found the cargo net to be extremely useful for trunk while keeping the spare...and the previous owner of my car used hydro dip for the scratched up interior bits, it looks really nice with a carbon fiber pattern. Thanks again, I just subscribed an look forward to more Z vids
looking forward to using this later when I have one, great video thanks!
Keep the great vids coming mate
Great video Neil, keep up the good work!!
Well done on the boot. The autoglym rubber spray works well on tyres too!
Great video, the mods turned out good 👍
Great video mate subscribed! 👍🏼
I run my Nismo without the spare tire. Saves weight but didnt finish it up like you did. Great stuff.
Some great ideas there. But I’d be gutted if I found my cassette deck had been disabled as I love my tapes lol. Keep up the good work.
Amazing video, very creative and informative!
Cracking videos these, the z is coming on a treat 👌🏼 (should have kept the 986 mind ;-)
I have zero mechanical background, but watching your videos have inspired me to buy an NB MX-5 and get my hands dirty! That garage series is a great idea!
Silver play button in 2019?
So kind of you to say Andrew. Let me know which one you get and what it's like to drive - I've never driven a NB! My dream would be to have that silver play button!
As long as you continue with consistent uploads, and maybe get an absolute cult classic for your next car, 100k shouldn't be too long coming!
That penny trick is awesome!!! I was so annoyed by needing 2 hands to open my trunk, and this totally fixed it. Cool!
Great update mate! The boot idea came off really well 👍 Headlights came up a treat.Think I will buy a bottle.Look forward to next years instalment 🍻🎄👍🏁
Big thanks mate.
Great video's! Looking forward to further video's
You certainly know your way around , great video full of so much information and tips .
Being on the opposite end of the spectrum to yourself, I’m sort of in ore of your capabilities.
A friend of mine used to have this exact car and it was an amazing car !
Big thanks Andrew. No need to be in ore, it’s fairly straight forward if you give it a go!
Awesome! I have the boot release issue on my 350z! I never realised it was such a simple thing. Definitely going to fix that now.
I’ve been advised to use rubber washers not coins as they scratch the metal. Gonna try that.
Great job especially on the door handle
Going to do that job on my car.
Thanks Ian. Go for it, it's quick and easy to do.
Incredible Upgrades and maintenance to the fine details of this car, You're doing some amazing work as always. Still love the Z Content, cannot wait to see the Suspension upgrades, and any other mods you decide for better track handling / or power.
Thanks Tyler. Probably gonna do a video on how stiffer ant roll bars affect handling in the new year. And maybe fix the rust!
Great video 👍👍👍👍
This was a really good video!👍
Amazing result with the PlastX on the headlights.
I always thought those needed to be polished/cut with a machine to get them that clear again. Must give it a try.
I think you'l probably get a better long term result with cutting but it's a good result for little time and effort.
awesome work >> simple yet effective
brilliant video mate! I'm tempted to try the boot mod on mine.
Thanks mate. Go on, it's easy to do and makes life so much better!
Keep up the quality vids 👍
Also the boot lid has a chunk of metal in it under the body panel. This can be removed which will make it lighter and less stress on those springs 🤙🤙
I can only repeat the feedback of so many others!
Great job and really lots of easy but working fixes there. My favourite is the headlights polish, I absolutely didn't expect this much difference, great!
Also interesting to see the difference between the Philips bulbs with the xenon headlights.
I have changed my headlights bulbs (H7 halogen) also to Philips ones with 60% more light (but still only 55W) and the change in light on B roads is also so much better. I think their lifetime is a bit less but I don't care, the light is so much better.
Keep going, absolutely enjoying your videos
Greetings from Bavaria
Big thanks as always mate.
As a 350z owner myself, I can't get enough of Neil's uploads - keep em coming 💪 what's next pal?
Thanks mate! Won’t be able to work on the Z for a few months as my new house doesn’t have a garage yet. Got a few car reviews lined up and something secret with Honda...
wow...trunk space.. mindblow! I'll apply this method and try to finish it further with a little bit of urethane foam. Thank you for the good information
Thanks. Glad it helps.
Great stuff mate..As with the Clio these are now heavily on my radar!
Can’t go wrong with either!
Freakin awesome! Love your channel and been an OG before you had the M3. Keep up the good work!
Big thanks Michael. Yes, I recognise your name, thanks for the long time support.
thanks for showing us the phone cable and bigger boot (upgrade) and i love plastidip because it's so easy Good luck Neil with your renovations' it's abit cold! and i look forward to more of your track days' MERRY XMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR
Big thanks Richard. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you too.
I really do love this series, I check daily to see if there’s a new video out. The content is very good and really informative, you have also inspired me to save up a purchase my own 350z which I should have by spring 2019. Keep up the z vids!
Big thanks for your kind comment Liam. You won't regret buying a Z. Let me know what one you get!
Road and Race I’ll be sure to let you know!
I have learned so much on this channel, thx mate
Thanks for watching!
Great info, many thanks
Man! I love your videos! Very helpful and very informative!! Sub’d!! 👍🏻
Thanks mate!
Keep it comin buddy .. i like this type of videos
Will try!
Merry Christmas Neil. Thanks for a year of great content. 🎄🎁🎅🏻⛄️🚗🚙🍻
Merry Christmas to you too Andrew. Thanks for watching.
YOU ARE THE BEST Z OWNER I HAVE EVER SAW ... I BOUGHT A 350Z BACK BECAUSE OF YOU
Thanks Mabruck. What Z did you get?
so glad i found this video
Some very neat work there
Thanks Jon!
JDM in the front bumper cover..full time running lights that also switch for the turn signals..reflectors come out as easy as removing the front bumper cover..wiring not to bad..got mine on Amazon!
Good job my favourite car
Great video thanks !
You've literally transformed this 350Z! Like a brand new car again.
Big thanks mate. Yes, it’s getting there. Still a few bits to do!
Very informative
Muchas gracias, me ayudo mucho tu video.
Some excellent mods here that I will incorporate into my new 350z orange …
My favorite color. got an 05. Sunburst Orange metallic.
I have a Z the exact same color as that haha. Beautiful color isn’t it? I love those seats.
Excellent updates and mods! Very satisfying to watch you take years off the 350Z!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it.
Something good for the steering wheel.... Either use your isopropyl diluted or try the Dodo Juice Leather spray. Both excellent at removing aids from the steering wheel.
Love 350z content!
Big thanks Tom.
I love what you did with the trunk. Almost looks stock and I could totally use the extra space. Don’t think I could not keep the spare tire with me though. That’s kind of a deal breaker.
After over 34 years on the road I've NEVER had a tyre go out on me and needing roadside changing. Buy a can of tyre repair with the foam and never look back.
Blood Carver I drive 100 to 200 miles a day for work. I can’t afford not to have a spare tire with me.
Blood Carver I heard that those cans of tire repair stuff are bad for your rims.
How is it possible you only have 30k followers. Just discovered the channel because I want to buy a 350z as my second car early next year. Really helpfull and quality content!
Thanks for saying so mate. I wonder myself!
Awesome video, you make a lot of great content. Keep it up man!
Do you think you can make a video of what is it like to daily drive a 350Z
Big thanks Gerald, glad you like the vids. Will try, possibly will make a 350Z Buyers Guide video and include it in that.
Good stuff fella!
Big thanks mate!
Absolutely brilliant Neil, mate! Especially the boot mod; that was really innovative 👍
Big thanks as always Simon. Very happy with the boot now - i can get loads in it!
Looking forward to the garage series!!
Nice! Glad to hear it! You thinking of building one too?
@@RoadandRacetv I already have one but its in need of sprucing. Mine came with an inspection pit which hasn't been put to use yet sadly.
Nice one. Not sure if you have done this already and might be interesting to your self, the clutch pedal sits higher then the brake pedal on these, you can adjust the clutch pedal so it can sit flush with the brake pedal, makes a big difference with heel & toe. Bit fiddly but we'll worth it 👍
Thanks for the tip!
For best night time driving you should get the projectors reflectors recycled. The process is called Vacuum Metalisation. It makes HUGE difference.
Thanks mate, will try to. Thanks for the tip!
Good idea, I would make sure to always have a tire inflation and patch kit in the trunk though
Good point. Not shown but I do carry them.
Stereo auxiliary. I just use a clydek bluetooth transmitter. Amazon about £20. Works great through a chosen radio channel. And stereo unit is untouched.👍
Then use the cargo net that comes with the cart for the Trunk or boot kol
Good work. So in pot hole central your not running a spare wheel now.?...and i can sympathise about the lights my e46 is positively dangerous at night . The faint glow is pathetic. I have found i can get replacement projector units brand new so will be getting a set after Xmas along with new bulbs. . The projectors apparently tarnish and stop working
nice how-to, thanks. What is the colour code for the gear knob fix?
Thank you for sharing your amazing video of your beautiful 350z you are a genius I love how you did the boot .question for you I am thinking of getting a 350z and just wanted to know if your z gat any oils leaks??? Thanks :)
Thanks. No, no oil leaks.
Yo Z man ,,
Cool down to earth vid with some good tips for the beginner , novis or new Z owner ,.
You seem to be well researched on the Z ,
so ....
Ive had a Z for
years now , and as much as i thrash it within an inch of it life ,its just keeps performing ,quite well to (love the wet days ).
However ,im at the MODIFICATION STAGE , so do you plan any good mods ,for power gain ,,if so ,what might you be leaning towards .
Much Respect
from
Down Under
Nice Z, got the same one....Do you know by chance where the blower motor relay is located? Trying to fix my AC!
Hey, nice video. Do you know where can I find a cheap OEM radio antenna? Thanks
Orr for the trunk, you could just get a pre-made subwoofer box with the z logo and kill 2 birds with one stone. It does the same thing you did, except you don’t have to custom fit anything & 2 - 10inch subwoofers facing the front to up your music experience.
Nice boot conversion v interested. What dimensions did you end up with in that boot. We goign to do Portugal a&nd Span so need to see what bags and cases we coudl get in. Thanks
Thanks for giving us video of how you bring your Z to shine again. I kind of prefer the z videos to the bmw's.
Awesome Z
Decent video! I have no interest in a 350z but it doesn't stop me watching... I found your channel a few years back because of your Boxster, and I'm finally looking at buying a 986 - house buying got in the way last time.. Would you have another or have things just moved on so far that you wouldn't?
Both are good cars but for the same money the 350Z is faster and newer. Drive both and see what you think?
Some good stuff there, although I would have kept the spare wheel! My car didn't even come with one, just some useless tyre goo and a compressor. I had to buy a spacesaver for piece of mind.
Let's see the middle area after the wall you added...that could be made into a cool cubby with secret access pop switch.
Keep your keys of blow hidden
Nice video some good fixes there. Does seem alot of work for a aux cable with the stereo would it not of been easier to swap the unit out for a new one? Never used that kurrust nice to see how it works.
Big thanks Chris. Probably, but I like to keep the car as original as possible and this hack is cheaper!
Fab, can we change the music, it’s a bit head achey 🙂. Have a fab Xmas Neil
Thanks as usual mate.
Autosmart G101 brilliant for cleaning interiors
Hello do you have a part number for the headlight bulbs ?
Trying to decide between the 350Z or the 370Z there’s a Fujimura body kit for the 370 that looks absolutely amazing.
Just had a look and that body kit is amazing. For me, I’d get a 350Z. It’s a bit less fast but drives better and is half the price.
Hey man! I really love your content so much and you help(ed) me so much. I am from austria and own a 350z. On 10:35 you show us the Lifehack with the radio system can you tell me how you call this cables? So i can find everything i need for the radio life hack? :) My English is sadly not that perfect :D Thank you so much for your help and content.
Greetings Nico
and another question: what mode do you use on the radio to listen via the phone? Do you use the "cd" mode? thx
Just in case you see this who did you get the weatherstrip off of on the forum please?
Does your car have back up sensors or what are those dots on the back
where can i order the the bulbs d2r x-treme vision
my 06 350z has the exact same rust on the side mirror.
Strange. A common fault with the window seal maybe?
11:39 life saver
Really enjoyed the video! But i wouldn't use plastidip inside a car. The color fades over time and it is very sensitive to sun/uv light. I saw online that you can use a heatgun on the plastic to make it darker again.
Thanks for the top tip! I’ll keep an eye on it and report back.
What about the spare tire?
is there no usb port in a 350z?
Perfect for some subs back there
I have the same exact car
Hey Where’d you get the duckbill, it looks really nice! I have the same color 350z as you and is hard to find that color!
The spoiler? It came with the car!
hi have a question about my 986. if i want to get bigger wheels, what else do i need to do? I'm talking about fitting the black 18" cayman 987. if they are wide in the back, would i need spacers? is it dangerous if i go over the factory 17"? thanks! love your stuff.
Sorry mate, no idea on this one. Maybe try boxa.net as they are usually very helpful.
