Well I'd like to say that I am very happy to have found this site as it has a lot of great information. More about the car, it is a 2004 350z base, 111k, 6 speed, salvage title. It has tein flex coil overs with edfc, 2 way lsd, hks exhaust, eibach sway bar kit, vis cf hood, full fiberglass kit (cracked in places and needing repair) then small things like sparco petals and harnesses, 35th anniversary wheels and few things I cannot remember. I'm into it 7500 currently which I don't feel is too bad.

I do however have a few questions that I could not find when I searched, although this may be a bad place to ask them.

First, it seems abnormal to me, but the car has aftermarket hid's in it and you have to turn on the headlight lows to get the left low beam and the highs to get the right low beam to come on. Is this just wired wrong or is that normal on these cars?

Second, I believe the clutch is on its way out. I've done a few tests I've found online but its hard to tell. The car will stall if you let it out when at a stop and holding the breaks like it should, it also will spin the tires easily in first/second and hold power through the gears, but cruising up a hill if you try 4th gear or anything higher (5-6) it will slip when you put it to the floor (rpms climb slightly before the car starts gaining with them) Which I'm sure most will say is in need of replacement but figured I would ask anyways.

Thank you for reading.

 

Welcome

Car looks pretty clean.

Never heard of a headlight problem like that... pretty weird, check the wiring maybe?
Sounds like a clutch problem....

 

Looks nice. how many miles?

to test the clutch go about 35 miles and hour in 4th gear and floor it. If the rpm's shoot up and speed doesn't it's toast.

 

Welcome to the forums

 

Thank you for the welcomes, it definitely needs some love but is a good starting point. After my s2000 last year I didn't think I could enjoy a 2 seater but the 350 is comfortable and has much more room and even pretty low rides amazing and handles great what's not to love, glad I took the jump.

 

welcome nice Z
