my 2004 350z i bought with power issues thinking it would be fixable, i have no power through any of gears its worst in first gear some times doesnt even have enough to start going just stalls, it had idleing issues so replaced the timing chain which fixed the idling issue, it doesnt have cats on it could that be the issue? a tuning issue? or a clutch issue? Also it won’t redline won’t go above 5000 rpm

So what are the codes showing? Clearly the car is in limp mode.

Could be just about anything. Cam/crank sensors, wrong tires, brake faults, ECM communications.... all over the place.

I replaced multiple things trying to figure out what this is, all the sensors basically, intake valve timing control bank 1 and 2 are the codes plus the steering switch

Hope you didnt pay too much for this Z. If you are new to these cars and not mechanically inclined I would suggest have a professional look at it. Not cats will definitely cause issue but without really knowing the history of the car it can be many things. Good luck

im pretty mechanically inclined, car was cheap and ive always wanted a z, just not familiar with it, i was just trying see if anyone had some suggestions on what it could be to narrow it down, ill probably end up taking it somewhere if i cant find the issue

so i figured out the my vvt solenoids arent getting current, i checked the harness and wires seem to be fine, would it have a fuse or is it getting power straight from the computer itself?
