Bought an 04 350z yesterday and... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Brian350z · 04-10-2011, 11:09 AM

My dad took me to a school parking lot to teach me to drive stick or whatever. Did fine stalled out when rolling backwards though and had rough shifting typical I guess or im just bad Lol. Anyways on the way home my dad was driving and suddenly the idle was self adjusting itself, didnt really pay attention to that since i just got it. But then it started to peg at 3k rpm and wouldnt go no higher no matter what gear. And the car was basically jerking and pulsating. Ran fine before Idk if the dealership i got it from filled it up with regular gas then again im not sure what gas i should be putting in it or what. Any ideas what it could of been or what it was? Car has 2 year warranty so They already took it back on a flatbed But im curious to know what you guys would suspect from being 350z owners.

cool story bro, and that's not really a good car to learn stick.

Brian350z · 04-10-2011, 11:39 AM

Perhaps but Its what I wanted and What I'm paying for.

Nissan tuned that car for pure alcohol. Dont tell me you put pump gas in it...

Sounds like a bad MAF? Enjoy the Z! Its an amazing car! p.s Change your tail lights

240sxrb25 · 04-10-2011, 11:46 AM

If you did there is an adjustment knob in the trunk behind the drivers taillight. You will need to dissassemble some of the trim just google it man

I know what's the problem here, You need some blinker fluid. Trust me go to your local car parts store and ask them.

Hah Yeah ive done body work on 350's before Thing i wanna do most is get rid of the 3 cats

AzDRiFT · 04-11-2011, 01:57 PM

You have 2 cats, not 3. Car was in "limp mode", dealer will tell you why.

Edit: Please ditch those tails. Get a set of 06 LED tails.
