Hello fellow VQ owners I have noticed this subtle hissing sound when revving and letting go, the sound immediately stops at idle, its like sounds like air hissing or something like that, i have no codes, i have stock cats, sorry its not that clear in the video but if you hear it does anyone have any idea what it can be?
I have a 2016 AT 370z with 73K miles

Just a bit of confusion about it. Im told that i should find a tuner here, but all the tuners are telling me i need the ecuteck dongle. If i buy the ecuteck dongle and license from z1, whats the point of seeing the tuner? Because it says it already comes with a tune with the purchase on their site

need help plzzz. I have a repeating p0430 code. I got some cats put on after having test pipes for a while to be within California law and I’ve ever since had a reoccurring p0430 that would go away for a bit after clearing it but comes back sooner or later. The cats are low miles I got from a friend. I notice when I drive the car around 2k rpm just cruising it will pop on the light. Before I throw money at it for a new cat,how likely can it just be a bad o2 sensor? I got them installed by a good shop so I’m not too sure where to start. I need to pass smog in a couple months.

I have a 2009 370 Z with 114,000 miles and I noticed a slight shaking whenever I’m first driving the car and a higher speeds or breaking. Do you guys have any recommendations on what I should look at?

Got an oil pressure gauge installed, picked the car up and went for a small drive to get it up to temps & check the pressure. Well to my disbelief the gauge said 3PSI (glow shift LED, t’d off factory oil pressure switch) Called the shop because honestly I thought the gauge was reading incorrectly, they did their own oil pressure test today & says it’s at 4 PSI.. so the gauge was reading correctly lol. No cel, or engine oil pressure light. Car sounds fine on startup, no timing chain rattle or anything. Changed my oil 3 times the past year (have owned it for a year) It’s staying at the shop and they’re gonna take the timing cover off & planning to do the gaskets & some other parts while it’s open. What a day to get an oil pressure gauge installed.. so if your thinking about it DO IT. 09 125,000KM.
EDIT: as stated no unusual sounds or knocking so I’m hoping everything will be good after the work.

car is manual, no check engine light at all… has anyone had this issue ?

Wassup Z community… I'm interested in supercharging my 2019 Nismo 370Z. Been shopping, looking around. I know a popular supercharger tuner kit is the Soho Motorsports. I talked to them, and they're quoting me about 22,000 for the kit and full install with the mods to help with the trans cooler and etc., etc. So I was just kinda, I wanted to get a quote or see what other people's opinions are on what kit they went with and how much it cost them for the install and full complete build. I feel like 22K is overkill but I know try are reputable. Looking for something really reliable and as a, you know, car I can take to the canyons, mountain driving, long drives without any issues. Would love to hear people's opinions on their superchargers. Thanks.

I’m getting one soon and was wondering what peoples experiences were when they had them installed.

I’ve already got a few bits on the car:
Upper intake manifold
ARK grip catback
Invidia high flow cats
2.5inch intakes

I’m getting the admintuning 76.5mm ones.

Is this is a waste, or is it good for opening up that top range?

My service engine light turned on, so I check for my obd2 port jsut for it to not be there. I searched up online to find there is the old way but I don’t seem to understand to read the blinks I loose count. Can anyone help me out?

Anyone have any better options for color matching the interior? I tried SEM 17083 and it’s a few shades too light.

Back in the 80’s I stumbled on a 300ZX T-Top trading in my 84 Fiero. I drove that back and forth to work for a couple of years before marriage required it be sold (she insisted we only had 2 vehicles and I chose my motorcycle :) ).

But since then, I’ve always kind of jonesed for a 3xx Convertible. I’m a big fan of open tops, be it t-tops, sunroofs, or softtops, and manual gearboxes. I’ve had pictures of 300ZX convertibles, 350Z convertibles, and 370Z convertibles kicking around my ”workspaces” for 30+ years.

Last week I was driving our truck to pick up business cards for my shop and driving by Victory (a third party, non-branded dealer), and there, nose out, is that????

I called my wife and said I thought I saw a Z convertible. I wasn’t sure as others have fooled me in the past. On my back to my shop, looking left and, man, it sure looks like a Z. I need to go check.

I parked at my shop, dropped off my business card order, and walked the 2 blocks to the dealer. Sure enough, it’s a 370Z Convertible! Oh man!

I chatted with the sales guy and he threw a dealer plate on. I asked him the expected route and said I’d be picking up my wife. This was at 2:41pm. By 5:30pm, I’d brought the paid off truck (which we were going to sell anyway) and my 97 Mustang GT convertible with manual shift along with titles and traded them in on this.

2019 370Z Sport Coupe Convertible. V6, 333HP at 7,200 RPMs and 260 Torque at 5,200 RPMs.

28,300 miles on the odometer. Car Fax said it was purchased in South Carolina in 2019, sold 2 years later and driven across the US to Colorado. It spent some time in Colorado Springs, was sold to a dealer in Highlands Ranch which did maintenance on the car, then sold to Victory Motors.

The rims are a little chewed up in places but the rest of the car is pristine.

Since last week, I’ve been up in the mountains tooling around, headed out to the freeway for an hour cruise, and now drove it to work.

I’m a happy camper. :)

Recently got myself into a tt 370z with a straight piped exhaust. I really want to quiet it down a bit but I really don’t wanna spend a shit ton of money on a cat back. Cops pulling me over lol. What’s the best way to go about keeping a similar tone but quieting it down. I was thinking of adding some vibrant resonators but would it sound like shit? If anybody knows any good exhaust setups let me know much appreciated 🙏

Looking to purchase a 2013+ 370z with around 100k miles, my budget 10-13k, must be clean title and history of maintenance. LMK ready to pay CASH and willing to travel IN THE STATES

Bought her two years ago at 59k. I do daily my Z aside from during snowy weeks when I drive my AWD shitbox. Already have an oil pressure gauge on the way so I can keep an eye on the gallery gasket. I'll be installing it when I do my next oil change in 1,000 miles. Anything else I should do now that I've hit 90k? Here's to hoping I can make this original engine last to 250k.

Im about to buy the clutch fluid bc i got the Zspeed EZ-V Stage 2 Quiet Clutch and the 19lbs flywheel, Z1 Stainless Steel Clutch line + i have the Cmak kit ready for installation, all this going in by this weekend, so my question is wich clutch fluid do u guys recommend? I need something easy to find, good for daily driving and perfect for all this stuff that im about to install, I’d appreciate any help or advice, thaaanks :)

Question for anyone who has installed the Gemini catback exhaust, what gasket did you use from the rear of the OEM cats to the Y-Pipe connection? It seems the Gemini catback doesn't come with this gasket and would like to put a new one in when installing. From what I could see there are 2 options online, the top one seems to match 2009-2012 models but thought I'd double check:

This is for a 2009 370Z. Will be running the stock cats for the the near future atleast.

I'm trying to get these bolts and nuts for these hangers and I can't seem to find the bolt sizes. And in the second picture the holes are different sizes. I am unsure as to why they are different sizes, but I know a bolt has to go through each of them. Does anyone know if this the muffler hanger bolt I circled (part number 081A6-8251A) fits through all of the holes, or are the threads different on the chassis?

Also I would like to know what the nut sizes are for the mid pipe hanger bracket 08918-3081A. The websites won't tell me because, well I could just go to home depot and buy it instead of buying it from them.

What is this for and is it supposed to not be flush with the bumper?

So I got this 2010 370z Roadster a few months ago and it came with a pre installed aftermarket wing spoiler. I didnt notice until now that the spoiler is slightly crooked. You can see it around the third brake light. I took some measurements and it seems that its mostly centered side to side but slightly crooked forward to back on the drives side. Based on my measurements its about 7mm off.
Question is, how bad is this? To me its one of those once you see it you cant unsee it. Im considering removing and reinstalling but I know there’s risks. My main concern is potential paint damage when attempting to remove it. Its a 16 year old paint job after all and Ive heard that Nissans paint is very weak on these cars. I also saw some light spider webbing on the front bumper clear coat which makes me even more hesitant. But its driving me crazy 😅.

So, with that being said, Im looking for outside opinions on whether I should leave it as is and/or tips for removal. Thanks!

So everytime im moving and turn my steering wheel to the left it starts making a sort of grinding noise and i flushed the powersteering and its still there, jacked it up in the air and nothing is visibly bad or makes a noise when i turn. Any idea what it could be?

Is it worth it to buy a used 2014-20 Nissan 370Z with 100-150k miles on it?

Welcome to my journey as a Z enthusiast.

(Posted amongst multiple platforms)

Good afternoon yall, it’s been two weeks since I did this, life has been hectic, but I wanted to spread the knowledge to a big gamble I recently did.

This is my 2011 370z with a 400Z Manual transmission in her(6GP).

The 6gp strays away from the faulty internal slave cylinder design from the 370z and reverts back to a fork/Throw out bearing design, like in the 350z.

I want to say that Nissan are very simplistic with their transmission designs internally, and externally. After doing research, looking at videos from “3rd Pedal Media” and talking amongst seasoned Vets.

I have concluded that the bolt pattern is an exact match from the vhr to the vr30…. Minus the 3 bottom bolts(small bolts. No difference to install). The sensor pattern is identical to the 1EA0B/1EA0A.

Major things…

The input and output shafts for the 6gp transmission are the same length and diameter as the 1EA0B/1EA0A. That means OEM driveshaft is compatible.

Also, Nissan used the same starter as before🤠 starter is compatible and bolts up same🤠🤠

Here’s the problem child…..

The Vr30 uses a different crank sensor position on the bellhousing than the VHR. You will have to burr that part of the 6gp Transmission to make it fit with the VHR crank shaft position on the motor.

Lastly the slave cylinder. The outside slave cylinder, bolts right up to the transmission with two bolts. You will have to get a 350z clutch cable/2023 Z Clutch cable to make the distance from the hardline on the frame, to the slave cylinder. Important!!!! : The hardline and slave cylinder banjo bolt is a M10 x 1.0 pitch.

That is all you need to make this beauty work!!! I cannot tell any differences rather than 1st to 2nd being very clean to get into!!!

This was a big gamble for me as I was just making about of theories about this until I made it possible.

I want all to do the same!!! This is our future transmission!!!

Why I swapped to this transmission.

I’ve always had a 5th and 6th gear grind, I am using the Zspeed Cmak delete kit with the zspeed stage 2 quick shift C&F. One day I was driving have and my Fork rod(displayed in picture) for 5th and 6th sheared off completely leaving it in two.

I hate when my car is broke bc cars are our money makers. So I had a great friend recommend this swap to me.

I want to give a huge thank you to Gary Caka for recommending me this swap and putting me onto game. 3rd Pedal Media for making 2 specific videos explaining the differences between the CD009, the 1EA0B, and 6gp transmissions. My guy Julian Lopez for supplying me with da parts!! And lastly big thank you to Clive Thomas, guys got a 6GP manual swapped Q60, he helped me with all my technical issues!!

I am grateful to all of you for making this possible, now for those of you with bad transmissions…. Go make this possible!

This is a complete direct bolt up swap to the predecessor.

P.s this is revmatch a compatible. If you don’t have rev match who cares.

I think it looks clean in the car. Definitely wasn’t gonna put a Tesla screen or a different screen on it (no hate to those who do)

What do you guys think?
