350Z bolt torque settings:
Manual gearbox drain and filler plugs - 34 Nm
Engine oil drain plug - 35 Nm
Engine oil filter - 18 Nm
Spark plugs - 25 Nm
Differential drain and filler plugs - 34 Nm
350Z coolant bleeding process:
1.Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
2. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level. Pour engine coolant through coolant filler neck slowly of less than 2 (2-1/8US qt,1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow
air in system to escape.
3. When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose,
install air relief plug with new O-ring.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature with radiator cap installed.
5. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed. Repeat two or three times.
6. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F). If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
7. Refill reservoir tank to MAX level line with engine coolant.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer drops.
9. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
10. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between COOL and WARM. Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
11. Repeat step 11 three times.
12. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 4 through 7 until engine coolant level no longer drops. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Concise video but straight to the essential. In just 11 minutes, you managed to show the process of a complete service overhaul. Your camera angles and position are really well done! This will surely help for the future maintenance work. Thank you again for the time spent on this video.
Thanks Rob.
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Frank Markus instablaster ;)
@Charlie Alec thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Charlie Alec It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
This is quickly becoming my favourite car related channel on CZcams!
Big thanks Tommy.
Same here, mate.
Great video. Makes everything look so easy. Thanks for taking the time to help us 350z owners.
Great video! Enjoying the 350 content as planning on getting one as a drift car soon so nice to get abbot more of them in my life👌🏻
These videos are fantastic! I have a 350z which needs a lot of these jobs done and it looks a lot more simpler in your videos than people make it out to be
You can really see the videos getting better and better! More structure as well as great editing. Thank you! ;)
Thanks mate. Glad you've noticed the improvements.
This is helpful 🙏🏼 loved how you put all the specs thank you so much
Great video Neil. Quality content as always, and production quality is always increasing. Nevermind the satisfaction of a job well done when you DIY! Cheers and keep up the great work 👍🏻
Big thanks mate.
Watched this 5 times already in preparation! Great channel thanks
Best learning vidéo so far on a 350Z maintenance. Great job.
Best guide out there can’t wait to do a big maintenance haul on my Z
just got this sweet series in my reccomended, keep it up! youtube is noticing your efforts
Many thanks Harold.
Great video as always! One thing you should buy is one of those magnetic spark plug socket. I've had a couple of spark plug sockets with those rubber things in them for many years and then I bought a magnetic one. Amazing tool and has probably been one of the best tools I've bought so far.
Yet again, an upload while I'm at work but thats not going to stop me from getting my daily Z content from a great channel. Love the fast updates on this car from this channel. Keep making more videos :D
Big thanks Tyler. Glad to hear you look forward to the vids.
Good video. From my own experience i always change spark plugs on a second hand car as soon as I buy it because every second hand car i bought had the wrong spark plugs fitted. After changing for the correct plugs I always noticed a big improvement.
Nice work as usual ! Top tip about removing the filler plug first - been there -nightmare !
Thanks Jon. Tell me about it!
Great vid as always
Really good video, preparing myself to replace my oil gallery gasket, timing chain, tensioners n guides, and all fluids as well.
In the market for a 350Z this was a big help on maintenance. Thank you Sir.
me too buddy, wanted to check how difficult is to keep up the car and it looks good!
Beautiful video watched it like a million times
Nice video, well done. And I applaud you for not waffling on and on and on like other CZcamsrs , you just get it done! One observation though: You are draining oil while the car is standing on a slope, that is not the best way to drain all the old oil, plus when you use the gearbox and Diff filler hole to check the level, it will give you a false amount. It's probably not a big deal, but it would be better to have the car level. Keep up the good work :)
Amazing 350z video! I'm only 5 mins in and I had to give you a comment!
Love these videos, just bought a 350z and these videos are really useful. You should bring yours to Cadwell park next season, I'll be taking mine round.
Thanks Murray. Cadwell isn't too far for me so maybe!
Hi from Australia.
I've only recently discovered your channel and am majorly impressed. Videos are clear, concise and informative.
My DIY level would be around the same as yours so its interesting to see what i could or could not do, perhaps.
Shame the channel is not more popular because it def deserves to be, i think it will be in time. Cheers and keep up the amazing work!
Big thanks mate.
Great informative video!
Thank you. I just bought a Z and your videos have help me a lot. Mines is a 08 in Texas.
Thanks mate. Glad they were helpful.
Finally caught up with this one. Another great video. Was great to meet you in the weekend too. Keep in touch.
Thanks Dave. Yes, was great to meet you too. Yes, will do!
I love how stock and original your 350z is :]
Wicked video 🙌🏻 nothing better then putting new oils an filters on a track car yourself..!!!
Well done mate really good work here
Thank you! Cheers!
I used to watch your videos because I have a E93 M3. But why have I started watching them again? I think I find your screen presence down to earth and videos educational I suppose.
Great video !!!!
I love servicing my car. Usually it's quite relaxing lol. Nice way to spend a weekend. I just replaced the steering rack boots and replaced the atf in my 370z. Planning on doing the diff next.
You're very good !!! Watching those videos I feel like I can repair my own car.
Thanks mate. Give it a go, it's not really that hard!
Great Videoo well done
This video is gold!! Thank you very much!
Very nice. I done all these with my cars too, plus I have learnt 2 more things I could do too , thanks for you.
Also im seriously considering to get one of these Z-s .
Another amazing vid. Good job man
Thanks Lovasz. Get one, you won't regret it!
Road and Race I would go today tbh.
Im puttin my Is200 in good shape again so she must stay for a bit longer. But these vids are here now. Im sure loads of people find it useful n entertaining . Will try to support you👍
Another quality video. Looking forward to you getting close to speedy Gonzales.
Wholesome content
Awesome video I like how you did it in one single chug, cheers:)
Thanks Filip.
great channel and really helpful videos im buying a 2007 350z in a month or 2 so doing my research into them on here !
Good luck!
Great stuff! Keep it up!
Thanks Mo!
Wicked videos bruv !!! God willing I’ll be getting a 350z as well
and?
Very well done. Thank you.
You helped me so much thanks
yes another top job. following you guys on twitter now
Thanks Mabs!
I would definitely put some antisieze on the spark plug threads before installing them. you can also get a spark plug socket which has a built in rubber gripper for about 5 bucks.
thanks for the vid!
You really love your car
Thanks for the Vids 🤙🏼
I spent two hours changing breaks while at work too😂😂 it’s crazy when the need is great time consuming sometimes but we’ll worth it and satisfying💯👍
Marvellous video. Thanks very much 😊
Great video, just one observation, I would've repeated the distilled water coolant flush a few times until only clear water comes out. It looks like you've put in an OAT coolant, not sure what came out so would be good to repeat this next time you get a chance.
Thanks great video have my 2005 z for 12 months only has 57000 ks done 4000ks myself your video will make my job easier 👍
brings back memories
Most tricky dip stick for sure!
Indeed. Why so bendy?
SiMONEN there is a good way , think about it.
I just change oil every 5.000 km instead. Less risky and costs like 80 euros and takes 30 min tops. Worth it
Checking the oil is like picking a lock in oblivion
SiMONEN , watch what you’re doing , once you get the knack it’s easy, look where the top points and put it back like that, done.
Thanks Neil great vlog i can't wait to see you on the track PLEASE please please do the bushes on the arbs' or if not a performance cone air filter to give you more power and induction noise :))
Yes, poly bushes are the next thing after brake ducts. Not sure if I’ll fit a cone filter, I’ve heard it’s no improvement and doesn’t give any real induction noise.
Good idea that you changed power steering fluid. I boiled mine around donington haha
This shows just how good the quality of your content really is. I can do all of these services on a car with my eyes closed and I don't even own a 350z yet I still watched the whole video... nice work man.
Cheers James, glad you liked it.
Perfect, thank you!
good job!!! thanks
"Since you have easy access to the entire engine, it doesnt hurt to pull it out and dissasemble it for a kick check on the bearings..."
Fluidtastic, nice job 👏
Thanks as always mate.
Very useful hits and tips my friend! Saves a lot of garage bills too 😉🍻
Thanks, mate.
Road and Race Your very welcome 🍻 where about are you based Wouldn’t mind some help with my car.Rather get my hands dirty that pay a garage.
Super job now I have seen this vid I will be doing some changes my self thanks again 👍👍🙂🙂✌️
Thanks mate. What will you do first?
Will do belts engine oil 👍✌️✌️😀
Very well made video. 👍
Big thanks Jose.
this my 3rd time trying to watch i’ve fallen asleep everytime
Hello New here on the channel From Boston/U.S just bought a 03 Touring with 125.xxx miles 2 owners no rusty,but looks like they only drove the car I think the only thing they did was oil change and brakes,just clean the Maf sensor and the throttle was so duty unbelievable,also changed the headlights was too yellow to clean next is the spark plugs and the fluids....great channel and keep up the good work!!!
Thanks mate! Glad to hear you like the channel!
Hey, love your videos!
Some questions about the bleed process tho, #8 said to repeat step 1-6 with radiator cap installed, should i just keep on filling the refill reservoir and rev it up, and repeat untill there’s no air when i open up bleeder valve? How will the trapped air go away if i cant open up and fill direcly in the radiator? Thank you, and again, love the content, even been watching your daily bmw series even thou i dont even own one due to how much effort and love you put in to your cars! We need a channel that focuses more on older/used cars with relatively cheap fixes.
Keep it up and keep it budget friendly,
much love from Sweden 👑
cartrottle takeover, very nice videos one day you will get more then 1 million subscribers
Cheers mate. So nice of you to say. That's the plan! Tell Alex I'm coming for him!
Great Job Bro💯🚗🙏🏾😏😏😏
Good Job.
Hi Neil, i'm a 350z (04) owner from Italy, very interesting content mate, i just followed the same process but i have a question: after reinstalling the throttle body did u run the ECU reset procedure?
I'm terrified of Jack stands too! Wouldn't trust myself not to position them incorrectly or something.
Luckily my Dad dug a pit in his garage years ago so I go there now!
Great vid BTW!👍
Cool. So nice to have a pit.
Road and Race yes. Only issue with it is it's a little shallow. Could only get down just shy of 6ft due to rock. But sitting on a barstool makes most jobs easy.
I have a 2006 automatic 350z. I'm trying too change the transmission fluid for the first time on my own
Good show...
Hello mate....great video! I purchased the 2004 350z roadster, surely it is the same method overall. Wanted to know the "song title or group" which started at 1:10. Really nice background music, edification and clarity of your channel! First time viewer. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate. So glad to hear you like the music as I wrote it!
we didnt get to see how she runs after that spectacular service. This mightve really set the bar for what a healthy 350z would sound/drive like.
Do a series against Car Throttle where you both buy a car on a budget fix it and get it ready for a track day or race
Would be cool. I'll propose it.
Something so satisfying about doing such a high spec service to a vehicle. Good job on doing power steering too, often overlooked. What about brake and clutch fluid? Cabin air filter? Is that a spark plug socket without a seal inside to grip the plug? Bit silly lol but good idea with tape
Thanks mate. Yes both were changed in previous videos.
350's are so nice
all of the cuts/bruises/stripped threads/busted knuckles/cursing is strategically edited out :D.....if only I could get all that done this fast :D I know this is an old video, but it's still relevant because I just bought an 06 350Z and I'm excited to start tinkering with it!!
Another great video! Definitely my favourite CZcams channel now! love it :)
Thanks Jon. Such high praise!
wow what a great video,no rambling,and straight to the point.other tubers need to take note.
question.have you ever used sea foam in the vq?and, orwhat do you think about it?thanks again
Thanks! What do you mean by "vq" please?
Road and Race well aren’t our engines called “vq 35 de”. I have a 06 g35 which has a vq35de.
So funny you mention removing the transmission fill bolt because ive been in a situation where i drained it and the fill bolt was almost stripped lol
Awesome👌👍👍
Hey! What brand car ramps are those? I HATE! jacking up a low 350z, its just a pain. Amazing video btw, nothing else like it on CZcams (:
Great video, if you showed the bleeding process it would be perfect.
Great video, for sure, as usual! Could you tell me where did you find these ramps: they look very confortable to work on the car.
Race Ramps
same color as my 350z!😀👍
Nice, love these DIY videos. Do you miss your E92? Just sold mine for a Fiat 500 (serious regret)
Thanks Michael. I still have the E92 as it's not sold yet! That's quite a difference between cars!
Quick tip ur supposed to use old oil to seal your filter it seals a lot better
Thanks bro i just got a 2006 350z, this video was much needed please make more like this. Although you should show how it runs before and after the full service.
Great!!!!!!
Does the car feel smoother now that everything has been changed? Some of those fluids looked quite bad lol. Like watching the videos u upload and looking forward to next time. I'd say if u can knock 15s off your time I would genuinely be amazed!
I thought it would be smoother but not noticed any difference. Maybe I will when at the track.
@@RoadandRacetv i know diff oil change does nothing as with miles we got on our 350zs those diffs are shot. Even nissan does not have that fluid in service book. Think most do ot cause its cheap :p
Good video. Sorry to see all the rust under the car though, but I reckon that is the shitty rain weather in the UK yeah? :D
Thanks. It’s likely the salt we use on the roads in the winter.
There's a strong sense of disconnect with the damn exciting synth music and the narrator :D
We’ll done sir
Thanks Justin
This is the type of owner i want to buy a car from lol
Another awesome video, keep up the good work! Quick question, does your 350z burn oil? If so, how much does the oil level go down after say 1000 miles? I find the dipstick incredibly hard to read, do you have any tips for this?
Thanks mate. Yes it does burn oil but I’ve not kept track to be fair. Yeah, the dipstick is badly designed and hard to read. My tip is to park the car on a flat surface then leave it overnight. In the morning pull the dipstick out slowly, wipe it, put it back in then out slowly again.
@@RoadandRacetv Thanks for the tip! I can now read the level clearly following that procedure :) I've had to top up around 4.5 litres of oil over 5000 miles
Nice. Glad that worked for ya.
Gracias.
