#28 of 40 Engine paint by teddykgb3737 Apr 22, 2006 (8:56 pm)
Has anyone painted their engine bay at all? I love the look of matching paint under the hood, any idea where to get said paint? I'm assuming any old paint won't do, with the added heat and all...

Has anyone put in a brushed aluminum or other silvery looking dash kit? Does it look good? Any recommended sources?
#30 of 40 Nissan Interior paint flaking, dash easily scratched by raceme May 18, 2007 (6:58 am)
I own a 2003 350z roadster with black interior. Has anybody noticed small scratchs on the area when you put your hand to close the door or near the radio or near the little flip up door in the middle dash? The interior is black and kinda rubberized( ???). well I got tired of all the scratchs and worn discolored looking areas. I went to walmart and bought flat black rubberized undercoat paint made by duplicolor I knew I was really going to mess up something !! up BUT I cleaned the area with alcohol then I sprayed the paint in the CAP and took my finger and smeered a little on the faded areas on my dash. The paint was flat rubberized black but when sprayed in came out kinda dark brown and thick. I just dabbed/rubbed it over the faded and scratches and hoped it would turn out okay well this morning I was AMAZED at how it turned out !! The rubberized paint is a perfect match !! you can't even tell what was the original issue !! I just has to pass this tip on to other nissan owners that have a black dash and interior there is no part number on the paint but it is Duplicolor rubberized undercoat sku # 2691660101 Good luck I'm picky about my dash and interior scratchs and worn areas

Replying to: zkash (May 27, 2007 12:32 am) service runs every 3,750 miles If you look in the owners manual there should be a separate service maintenance booklet explaining all the things that get done in each of the services. If I recall, only the 15K intervals are any REAL services other than just an oil change and a few inspections.   You should change the oil AT A MINIMUM of 2X per year (ie: every 6 months)   My PERSONAL opinion is that synthetic oil can be run and changed at 5 to 6K intervals. This is what I have done in my former BMW, my current LEXUS IS 250, and my NEW Z.   Once the Z is broken in (approx 1,200 to 1,500) I am going to change the oil and start running synthetic.   Hope this helps and enjoy the Z .. I know I do!!! Replies to this message: zkash (May 27, 2007 1:41 pm)

Replying to: benzserviceguy (May 27, 2007 12:10 pm) Thank you so much. So I reckon at 2500 miles I need to change oil

Replace tires ( i heard Z has flat tire problem u have to replace it every years and it cost 500$ each) 4. Transmission Fluid 5. Engine Coolant 6. Brake Pad 7. Brake 8. Replace Water Pump and Timing Belt   Overall, is Z a reliable car ? I like Z but i dont' want a car to give me problem and i have to pay $1000 every year. Can someone come out with estimation cost?   Thanks Replies to this message: qbrozen (Dec 10, 2007 12:23 pm)

Replying to: windforceus (Dec 10, 2007 12:16 pm) Call your local dealer and ask the pricing questions. Charges can vary based on location.   Tires you can research online. Try tirerack or discounttriredirect. The '03 and '04 Zs had premature tire wear problems on the front tires. I have not heard of the problem being widespread on the '05s. Ask your friend how often he had to replace the tires.   this car uses a timing chain, so no need to worry about that one thing. Tranny fluid and coolant flush and fill should each be in the neighborhood of $80-$100. Oil change should be $30 or less. More if you use synthetic, however. The charges for these types of services is no more on the Z than most other vehicles.
