hi all

i’m a new owner of a 2005 350gt (premium) auto (78k on the clock). once warmed up it idles at 1100 (approx, i’ve not hooked a laptop up to it) in neutral and 900 in drive. feels a bit fast but i’ve no idea.

is this in the right range?

car is totally stock. 

appreciate any thoughts.

~600 - 650 in drive. Maybe 700 at a pinch.

Look for vacuum leaks, or for your idle/throttle to be dirty/sticky and staying a little too far open.

ok thanks. so definitely idling too fast. i’ll check the throttle.

If you can't find any faults, there is an idle air volume re-learn process which can be done without the nissan diag tool, using the pedal dance method..

pedal dance method. is there a thread (other) where i can read about this?

do you mean Throttle body position reset? 

Throttle closed position learn is the easy step, it just requires the ignition on/off, the idle air volume learn is the painful one.

there should be a lot of sources online, this is just one I found with a google search - https://h-dev.co.uk/350z-reset-proceedure-pedal-dance/

the timing is critical, some people have even used a stop watch, especially the '7 seconds' part.

If you are successful, you should see the idle speed rise above spec, drop below spec and then settle at the correct idle speed.

thought i’d just square this circle. so i didn’t get to much further investigation of the idle issue but in the meantime had a failed battery. the car sat for a few days without any charge (covid logistics). when the new battery went in as if by magic the idle is now right smack where it should be. issue resolved.

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
