new to me 350z
Hey guys what's going on just picked up a 03 touring edition 350z last week. And decided to finally post on here. Will try and upload some pica but for right now all I have is my phone I know my last forum I was on pics from the phone never really worked out. But anways I'm from northern kentucky so if anyone on here is close to cinci or Florence ky and ever have some meets let me know. So far I absolutely love the Z my last few vehiclas have been lifted cummins haven't really had a sports car sense my old Porsche. Definitely feels great to be back in a car that handels so good. Went to look at the car it was way up in Indiana after gettinf screwed over and over again with buying a used car I definitely took my time inspecting everything on the car. Thanks to this forum was able to look for the major things. Nothing was wrong aside from a few minor light scratches and hideous chrome tail lights. 4 hour drive home car ran like a brand new car. Two days ago I noticed that when Im in 4th crusing and step on the gas rpms will reach about 4500 then almost as if its hitting a rev limiter. Serched this forum up and down and thought it could be the clutch after seeseeing how some of you say to test it by putting it in 5th gear ay 30 mph so did that and absolutely no problems no check engine light nothing so I'm kind of baffled at what's going on. Hopefully somone could chime in something to try and fix this. Besides that the ugly tail light ended up breaking off which no big deal planned on replacing them anyways just decided to be the same night I was running late to work and got pulled over because of it lol. My luck tho. Cop was nice and understanding thank god haha.and last thing is the drivers window motor but have already expected that after reading everything about these cars. But anyways that's a long enough intro just wanted to say hey and introduce myself and my new car. This is not my first forum and I always try and search my problems out before starting a new thread and annoying people i know how that goes. Oh and ignore the username my phone decided to auto correct it and I didn't notice . And the only mods done to the car is a nismo spoiler which the salesmen tried to explain to me why the tail light ended up breaking was bc so much extra weight due to the all *aluminum wing* clearly fiberglass lol but I just let all the salesmen think they know everything. And a borla exhaust.

As far as pics goes I'm kinda screwed until I get my laptop fixed but if someone wouldn't mind posting up a pix for me I could send it thru email or something.

So after spending 3 days searching thia forum up and down and with some help of some 350z guys off a facebook group I've narrowed my problem down. Its either the crank or cam sensor...hopefully that is lol my car has all the symptoms everyone else had when it ended up being there sensors.
After a highway drive and actually opening the car up a little ses, vds, and slip light came on and the car has horrible performance. So on my way home in the morning I'm gonna pick up my buddys scantool and hope to God the codes are for one of the sensors so I can get this thing fixed and start to enjoy my new car

Got home yesterday morning waiting on my buddy to bring me the scantool I went ahead and unhooked the negative battery try the ecu reset again just for the hell of it. Changed spark plugs cleaned maf and made sure all sensors were clicked in completely. Buddy showed up with the scan tool when I was finishing started it up no lights on anymore what so ever. Car now runs absolutely perfect and I can now enjoy my new car lol.
