That “tie rod” he means your end link on the front sway bar. Reason why it hasn’t been the biggest problem, lots of drifters completely remove front sway bar I’ll just say that.
Your handling goes to shit if you remove the swaybar, you just slide / snap oversteer everywhere. You adjust the thickness of the swaybars to get the handling like you need it
Why would you say all to say, I'll just leave it at that... If you trying to spare his feeling you shouldn't have given a statement... I was interested in where you were going and you killed the moment...
That's Rene, he is hilarious!! Although I can't fully understand him at times, he's always making me laugh haha they're also teaching my Spanish which is really cool.
Johnny, had the same problem with a Tundra, o2 sensor, when they removed it the threads were stripped, to install the sensor, the mechanic used JB wield to install. Never had a problem after that. Oh, just buy a couple of bolts to hold in place. And use electrical tape to secure your bike rack strips from flopping around. 😎
Hey Art!! Really appreciate your comment. Can't seem to find a shop that is willing to re-tap the o2 sensors, so JB weld might be the plan. I'll get some electrical tape for the bike rack, good idea!!
Sometimes certain codes require a full driving cycle meeting certain parameters before it can throw the code again. Certain miles, certain temps, etc. Also, the loose terminal is common. I have two HR Z’s and they both can appear completely tight but won’t start. A little wiggle or adjustment and they start right up.
If you have ace hardware true value or any general smaller hardware store they have a thread pitch diagram you can line the bolt right up to with that and find exactly what you need most of the employees will help you out too
Literally all of my family's cars have check engine lights on lol. I dont think we've ever owned one that doesn't have lights on on the dash. Hang in there man. You'll get there
Had the same O2 sensor code. Ended up being a crack at the cat hanger/mount. Try Tractor Supply Co. They usually have automotive bolts and nuts. To match the thread, take in the one you have and line up the threads. If they fit flush they're the same pitch.
Man those strut bars are a pain, last night I managed to get 3 from both sides off, but the ones next to the intakes, couldn’t get off, then after removing my intake manifold cover with strut bar on cause i couldn’t get it off, I was able to get the three on from the passenger side, but i couldn’t get any from the driver side. But as long as my car isn’t jacked up in the air, the tension on the strut bar will stay locked down. I also removed my spare tire that was dry rotted for weight reduction. Keep it up man
My HR 2007 used to have the same issues ended up selling it and moving to a 370z because no matter what i couldn’t fix the problems. In fact Hr used to go into limp mode while on the highway. In fact it was bank 2 sensor one and nissan was trying to charge me 5k for new cats etc because they where destroyed. It’s almost like the Z i sold you ended up with.
Dang man, I feel that... I probably did buy it haha hope I can get it sorted; really don't want to drop 5k on cats though!! If not, a 370z would be pretty cool and a sick addition to the channel lol really appreciate your comment my friend!
'Air fuel' sensor is your MAF (you have 2), definitely different than O2 sensors and much more expensive. I would clean MAFs, TBs and perform idle relearn procedure so the ECU is given a chance to work it out. Best case it clears both codes, worst case you know that something downstream (O2 sensors, cats) is faulty. If you smell fuel in-car, your cats are done - or are you running test pipes, and just didn't notice early on?
When I was getting that stutter at the low rpm, it was my throttle body, so I tried fixing it on my own but I didn’t calibrate it so it caused my ecu to unprogram so it was a whole process but I had the same code as you from the previous videos
Had a similar issue. My solution was my traction control was being sensitive and just driving with it off got rid of the limp mode feeling. Give it a try it's $free.99
I've been wanting to take the GoPro while riding so hopefully soon!! I think I'm going tomorrow so maybe I can throw some footage in! Appreciate your comment :)
@@JohnnyB. sick! i'm actually biking tomorrow too, such a beautiful sport and great for the mental health. Show us your travel with the bike on the back too! timelapse it and then show video of the biking!
Another mention: We had to re-tap a header when installing my turbo kit. Even with the manifold off and a 1/2 impact it was insanely difficult to tap, especially straight. I highly recommend taking it off and cooooovering the sensor threads in anti-seize. Bolts for strut tower brace are on Z1, $5 each. “Oem 350z strut tower brace bolt”.
Silly question it why check hardware stores for a car? I hadn’t seen this question asked so forgive if it has, have you called for the OEM part from Nisson??
Yes!! That's one thing I've noticed from the Rev-up's muffler delete to this Megan racing exhaust. The Megan racing drones quite a bit more at certain RPM. Also, I never realize how bad the drone is until my passenger or I is on the phone with someone haha appreciate your comment b!
@@JohnnyB. thanks for replying. glad to hear it’s not just me. it only drones bad from about 2500 to 3k i’ve noticed. i’ll probably just buy a different single exit at some point because it does get annoying
Unfortunately, I've never driven the regular DE; just the Rev-Up version and the Rev-Up feels pretty similar to the HR to be honest! The HR definitely has a bit more power in the top end, and I'd say that's where you feel the difference the most, but overall very similar in feel. Hope to get to drive and compare a regular DE someday! Appreciate your comment Richard!
It’s crazy to think the guy that you got the car of George knew the car has these problems and continues to go on to advertise the car as flawless I think as a shop you should not be scamming people telling them that the car has no issues just by clearing the codes before selling car
I have a problem. My red light for my anti theft system isn't blinking when my car us completely turned off. I can turn on the car and drive it but that light isn't turning on Any ideas? 03 350z Isr long tube headers, z1 true cold air intake stovk cat back newenginr eith 66k miles

Plenum check your vacuums and make sure no air pathways
Will do. I appreciate that!

why do drifters remove the front sway bar
Why do they remove the sway bar
Your handling goes to shit if you remove the swaybar, you just slide / snap oversteer everywhere. You adjust the thickness of the swaybars to get the handling like you need it
@@JayTheBiggestBird some older front angle kits don't have a place to mount the sway bar end link on the lower control arm.
Why would you say all to say, I'll just leave it at that... If you trying to spare his feeling you shouldn't have given a statement... I was interested in where you were going and you killed the moment...
Check for vacuum leaks/intake leaks. Had a similar issue with my HR with the Nismo intakes and ended up selling them and getting the Injen long tubes
When dude came out and you put the camera on him that was funny as hell! 😂

@JohnnyB. If you ever have to replace that o2 sensor again you'll have to replace the header if you do it that way
That's crazy when I got mine I didn't have any issues and still haven't I'm glad to see it's in good hands now though
I have a same problem I got a 2007 z350 too. You doing right thing change the oxygen since both Chang I fix it that problem. Good luck!
Hope it fixes the issue! Thank you for your comment my friend. :)

Maybe look up for Z's that are being parted out in your area and get the strut bolts from there.

Single exit exhaust looks and flows better. But to each your own.

i had the same issue with my 2012 nissan frontier regarding the battery stuff, eneded up replacing the negative terminal and purrs along as always
I have a EML problem as well. Coded come out with 02 sensors problem. Change new one in, the light still come up. Thinking about change new cat 😅
Miss fires can be coil packs.

This is one of your best videos keep up the good work
I have 08 HR 100k miles. Cheap fix o2 spacers to get past cat code. Got mine from blox. Just have to drive 40 miles now after resetting codes
I changed my o2 sensors as well only to find out my cats were bad. Honeycomb inside was loose and wobbling
the 07 HR ECU has bugs related to idle relearn btw
I will be attending the illiminate meet in san jose!
Would be sick to see you biking
I've been wanting to take the GoPro while riding so hopefully soon!! I think I'm going tomorrow so maybe I can throw some footage in! Appreciate your comment :)

A few weeks ago I bought my 2006 350z. I don't know the brand of the exhaust, but I think we have the same one.
Great video as always!
enjoyed the video ! where’s the miata ?

Suncity hardware on menifee man they got every bolt
When’s the Johnny b merch?

I really gotta start working on my z again 🤧
Have a question what should I look for in a HR model 2007 I'm looking to get and yes it's a manual! Any ideas would help!
dream car
Try doing another throttle re-learn, idle seems a little low
You might need to get it tune to get it running right !! If not you’ll go thru more 02 sensors !! Thank me later
Haven't thought about it possibly needing a tune. Will look into this. Really appreciate your comment my friend!
You need a match a light 😆
Def get rid of those intakes. Ur intake temps will be through the roof. Speaking from experience.
Hey Jonny I’m having a problem with my 2004 350z having a hard time starting when the car has been warmed up.
I have that code for g35 but I could never figure it out so I just keep clearing it 😅
That's about where I'm at!! LOL really appreciate your comment :)
It is a metric size bolt
what do you think about a 350z roadster and a 370z? They are only 10% price different.
hey Johnny do you recommend the Megan racing exhaust? Is it too loud? Im debating about getting the Megan racing or ISR single gt.
just go to the junkyard and steal those bolts
does your car drone a lot? I have isr high flow cats and y pipe and megan racing single exit and it drones so bad
Yes!! That's one thing I've noticed from the Rev-up's muffler delete to this Megan racing exhaust. The Megan racing drones quite a bit more at certain RPM. Also, I never realize how bad the drone is until my passenger or I is on the phone with someone haha appreciate your comment b!

do you think the HR is worth it over the DE
DE lacks every way than the HR, but doesn’t have much issues engine wise.
I’ve owned both. Get the HR
Unfortunately, I've never driven the regular DE; just the Rev-Up version and the Rev-Up feels pretty similar to the HR to be honest! The HR definitely has a bit more power in the top end, and I'd say that's where you feel the difference the most, but overall very similar in feel. Hope to get to drive and compare a regular DE someday! Appreciate your comment Richard!
It don’t matter, I’ve had both. Both slow.
Hooray
where's the new videos ? it's been 2 weeks ur neva this inconsistent I wanna see the new HR videos
Heyy can you make a video of both 350z and how the engine's sounds? Mine ticks a little bit but I hear it's normal what do y'all think ?
Maybe the catalytic
What did you pay for the car
It’s crazy to think the guy that you got the car of George knew the car has these problems and continues to go on to advertise the car as flawless I think as a shop you should not be scamming people telling them that the car has no issues just by clearing the codes before selling car
I went from out of state to see this mechanical good car with only “cosmetic issues”to more issues then a de
Ikr he a bitch fr, even from his looks and his shop i knew what would happen 😅
Get them on eBay or a junk yard
Take it to Scotty Kilmer
How are you not gonna hold unique somewhat accountable ?! I mean they sold you this thing
I hope you got that car really cheap….
Got a pretty good deal! Appreciate your comment :)
I have a problem.
