Worlds First electric 350z: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLWUdsujv5evnIk.html

I lost it when he slapped the gauge

Mechanic: it’s gonna be $120 to fix those trunk springs This guy: 3 cents take it or leave it

Damn I love this guys enthusiasm. Very enjoyable to watch lol

“When the gauge stops working, I just hit it” 😂😭 good vid brotha!!!

I dont know why but this dude needs to do more of these videos, he got the voice for it

Currently, my 350z engine is blown, so that means it is build time! Newer videos are being edited and dropping soon. Thanks everyone for helping me get to 2,000+ subscribers!

My 2003 has had all of these things happen. I love my Z and I wont let go of it.

I’ve had my ‘05 Z for 15 years. You are definitely on point with those 5 replacements. Only one I haven’t had issues with has been the gauges. The one thing that has been an issue for YEARS and I’ve ignored has been the trunk release. Thanks for that tip as I will definitely take care of that nagging area. My wife 2nd biggest complaint next to being too low. Thanks Bro

One more thing: the paint on the interior plastics

You forgot the door handles will wear out too ! The mechanisms over time will break inside. A good hack remedy for the 350 Z is to insert the ignition key and, turn it to the left to lower the windows then, to the right to bring them back up.

Engine blew up, so I'm currently building a electric 350z that also will be most technology advanced 350z with crazy torque. Check out my other videos.

Spot On!!! I am a former 350Z owner and 4 of the 5 went out on me (everything except the gauges)! I miss my car. Might get another.

Your narration is excellent man, love the passion

Hands Down a great informative video owned my 350Z since new 03 and had these issues .. besides the gauges ...banging is not suggested ....

Accurate list ! Thanks. Just like yours, my driver's side window auto up causes window to go all the way up, then halfway down & stop (but window motor still working after 9 years of this) . ------------- In 2010, I bought a used 2004 350z Touring for $12.5K Issues: - Mostly working intermittent subwoofer (now almost always dead). Several videos on KZfaq on how to fix it, which is what I just did. It was pretty easy and really missed that wonderful bass! - Driver's side window auto up causes window to go all the way up, then halfway down & stop. (but window motor still working after 9 years of this) - 6-disc CD changer that died around 2012 with one of my CDs still inside. - Replaced the front lower control arms (due to worn bushings) around 2016. - Replaced the rear hatch gas struts (hatch didn't stay up) in 2010. One just popped out after 10 years. $20 for 2 on eBay. - Replaced the rear hatch lift springs (& added pennies) but it still usually requires a push of the release button, lifting the hatch up a bit, then push button again and lift hatch up the rest of the way. Even removed the 4 lb weight & did a rear wiper delete... no diff. - Front dash cubby storage door just stopped working and fell off. - Hundred little paint chips in the front (bumper area) panel :-( - 19 MPG (combined and 25 MPG HWY with 87 octane. Lower with 91 octane). But overall, Great bang for the buck and fun to drive !

You are the man! You have a charisma for these type of videos!

The Zspeed tray is a great part.

Most Helpful and to the point video on this website !!

Preaching the Truth!!!👍🏼 Side Note - Links to New Part Purchases is always helpful.

I can tell your a real humble gentleman just by the way you Grandma. Great video! Informative and FUNNY!!!

this has gotta be one of the best vidoes ive seen on youtube in a long time haha. I cant pick out specifically why but the video was just great and fun to watch. Usually vidoes with a subject like this make me want to fall asllep.

3 out of the 5 have gone bad on mine haha. The trunk springs, the hatch supports, and the splash guard underneath. So far I've never had a window motor, gauge, door handle, or camshaft position sensor go out on me. Currently 183k miles on my 03 350z; it still runs smooth and strong.

Don't stop making vids bro love your charisma

You forgot door handles 🤣🤣

oh man, the percussive maintenance had me crackin up! don't forget all the parts that hold oil in your engine.

Dude you hit everything perfect!

Thanks alot man. Im about to buy one so this is really helpful. Like!

This is the best video I’ve ever seen

Thanks for the vid Bud, nice to know what to watch for.

i like your fix for the trunk lift lol. Thats brilliant 👌 6 pennies vs 120 bucks. Well played!

Thank you for the video. For myself, these minor issues won't stop me from buying a 07/08 350Z.

This video is so accurate! Relatable on so many levels.

SO true,LOL, my 2008 350z replaced the trunk struts after it came down on my head lol, oil guage is out, passenger door handle stuck.

Valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals will go out before 150k as well as the clutch and flywheel typically as well.

rear hatch spring hack works great,just did mine

You’re so charismatic bro I hope you keep grinding KZfaq

Great video man!

Good experienced-based explanations. Thanks!

There's a window reset button for that issue. Motor obviously isn't broken or going out, just needs reset. Speedometer cluster is easy to remove, check the pigtail connector on the back to make sure it isn't loose.

5:07 im dying🤣🤣🤣

Literally every thing on this list I gotta fix Thanks for the vid bruh

Lookin at an 06 tomorrow. Thanks so much for the tips!

cool video bro its funny cause i just got a 04 z and in the same order these things are needing to be replaced!! keep up the content maybe some driving vids!!

Great video! Love my Z. I have had two Z's and they are great sport cars for the money and lots of fun to drive. I now have a 2007 convertible. The driver's door latch broke (common issue) and the straps that pull the top down got weak and had to be replaced. Other than that, a great ride. 🙂

Aprc it bro! Nice video! Like it man! Keep postin

Everything here. So. True. Sweet vid man!

I like this dude. Great video bro

This was such a great vid

Accurate....I had everything thing you listed break on mine except mine was the fuel guage. And the storage compartment above the radio broke on mine too lol

Perfect video lmao. Funny, quick and to the point 👌

There’s also the infamous buzz/rattle from cracked heat shields or exhaust components that drives you nuts

bro i have all these issues except for the last one so far lol and i got 28k miles on a 2003 350z. ur one funny dude good stuff!

preciate u bruh , i’m looking to cop a 350 z rn , thanks for the tips

Thanks Nicolas for your tips and hints. Br Marc from Sweden

Yep, pretty accurate. The first 4 went out on mine around 50k miles. Now the transmission synchros are starting to go at only 60k...

Great video!!! Thanks for the great upload!

As a Z owner I agree with you 95% haven't had any gauge issues so far on my 03 though, also camshaft position and knock sensors are common

I loved your video. You seems like a very funny guy!. The window motor is a problem but you dont have to replaced the whole motor there is a small micro switch in the motor. Replaced that switch and all good. Cost me R50 in dollors its about 3.50 .

Awesome vid and info!!!

LOL how i just finding this video.. the 5 things went out on my Z in the exact order you showed too.. except the window motors went out twice before the springs and struts for the trunk

Thank you for diagnosing my trunk not always opening

I was scared to watch this video. pleased to hear the common problem areas won't affect my ability to drive the car. thanks for the video.

Awesome vid. Very informative. Subbed.

Thanks for this🔥

This was one of the most entertaining videos I’ve ever seen. Lol

omg. I just got my 350 used and everything you just mentioned was broken af xP I was wondering why my driver side window was doing that O.O Sadly I got no money to fix it cause the clutch went boom and I'm doing that right now but I'll get to all this other stuff later haha. Thanks for uploading this video! Now everything that's broken makes sense. Although, the key to lock/unlock my doors doesn't work. Like the key part itself works when I put it in the door but the buttons don't work on the key lol

This video made me subscribe bro, good vibes and funny bro😂😂 i lost it on that slap

Everything you explained in this video is true thank you!

This is the most accurate video ever lmfao

should've put crank shaft sensor and cam shaft sensor.

Just got a Z, and everything you said was spot on 🤣

My trunk struts were no good when I got the car they wouldn't even lift the boot you had to keep it held up the entire time. I just got mine regassed and the guy said the seal was great on them it's just because the car is over 10yrs old it had slowly lost gas over the years of use and the regas has kept them going strong since :)

added to my "Possible Future Help" playlist Dont own a car yet but 350z prob gonna be my first car

hey bro nice vid. I had the same problem with my window. once it was all the way up would roll down by itself or roll down when you closed the door. The regulator is operated by resistance so when you unplug the battery the windows lose the programing. what you do is take the door panel off and theres a rubber button that you have to press as you follow a sequence with the window switches. I fixed mine and didnt pay a dime on new motors.

On convertables the 5th motor bow will go out but getting better quality & longer lasting ones will fix it to oem ones dont last very long but on my roadster i had both outside door handles break & passenger side needs to be still replaced & undershroud is broken but that z1 aluminum undershroud looks like a good buy

Great video! Thx

03 Z Owner here and I absolutely love mines despite the issues lol. Reading the comments I am now aware of the oil pressure sensor. She's down now due to mods. Right now my main issue is getting her to turn over.

Trunk struts I bought on Amazon for 20ish dollars and they work awesome

Ever get that digital display in? I'm curious to see what that would look like, I kinda want to do that to my z but I wanna see how it looks before I go spending money.

Everything but the undertray and guages are currently broken on my dads 03. Has both trunk problems and we had to replace the window motor on both sides. Also the clutch switch is sketchy and u might have to press in the clutch extra hard for the car to start

Nice video!

Thanks brother for those tips.....!!!

dude you are a fucking genius I love that trunk spring fix

Thanks you, this helps a lot

Great video. If I may add also the tire pressure sensors

Ive replaced all the things you talked about.... i appreciate the trunk H@cK .il try the three penny.

Nice vid boss, have had my 350z (2004) for about 2 months now and the only thing I’ve noticed is the service engine light comes on every few weeks. I just take it to a local autopart store and get code checked out and it’s nothing so I have them clear it. Wondering if you have heard of this occurring

Forgot to mention the Cam shaft sensor, door handles and brake switch light! Good video though

Good video really helpful in the future 2 years from now I'm either getting a 350z with the HR Rev up engine with a manual transmission or a Scion FR-S

I have few of these problems even talked about them on my channel lol you're not wrong about this

Since I bought my 2006 Roadster I've had the Radiator Fan go out, replaced with an aftermarket high performance one, Both door handles broke, Trunk open button stopped working, Seat belt airbag sensor went bad, and last but not least the Top wouldn't go all the way down- Replaced straps and fixed it, next thing I knew the back window was starting to separate from top.

Love this guy.

That's funny, my 350z has all the exact same things broken (2003 Touring Edition). I also have a faulty Camshaft Sensor which turned my Z off when I was shifting gears and exiting the freeway. Could have been really bad!

hatch went before the driver window at 170,000 motor, shield went at 125,000, cause when they change the oil at Nissan they take of and the bolts broke. you are right things will go. I have owned a 280z 1979, 1986 300z, 1991 300z and the 350z. these are great cars and the 350 has held up the best thanks to technology

1) Window motors do go bad often on the 350z but when the window goes back down half way like that, the regulator just needs to be reset. Last week I replaced the passenger side window motor in my car and had to reset the regulator on the driver's side. My windows work great (for now). 2) The plastic sun visor clips/holders are super weak and will break constantly. I inherited my 350z and I have broken 3 clips so far just using the visor infrequently. Nissan knows that the plastic is defective but refuses to fix the problem. 3) The camshaft/crankshaft sensors will go out without warning. 4) If you have a convertible, then you know about the issues with the motors that open and close the ragtop. Consider yourself lucky if you don't have a convertible. The thing that I really like about the 350z is that it's a lot easier to work on than I thought it would be. So far, I haven't had to take the car to a mechanic. I was able to fix everything myself without too much difficulty. So far, I have replaced a window motor, all four brakes/rotors, an ignition coil pack, camshaft and crankshaft sensors, and the radiator cooling fan assembly. I also replaced the convertible top but that took me over 7 hours in the blistering sun so it was definitely a chore to complete. My car is a 2004, so it's getting old, but it only has 59K miles on it.

This list can also include door latches, interior paint, 1qt. of oil every 1k miles on 06', evap. emission vapor vent tube, etc. On the positive note Carlos Ghosn CEO of Nissan/Renault did earn $100 million with these cost cuts.

Replacing my window motor this weekend! Sick of hitting my door panel for it to work 😂

"Trunk just knocked you out" lol

Bro literally the first 3 things are currently broken on my daily Z lmfaoo, so true
