After a long drive on Saturday my rev limiter came on at 2500 rpm while driving through town. This would happen in all gears and even in neutral. It went away after recycling the ignition, only to return after another 100 miles. Took it to the dealer and he said it was a "fail-safe" feature of the ECU. Turned out to be a faulty mass airflow sensor. Nissan will replace it under warranty with no question even though I have a CAI installed.
I also had them check out the front tires for the "feathering". They are getting me two new front tires with no questions or hesitation on their part. The car is a 2004 Roadster with 6300 miles on. If there are any questions about the feathering issue on '04's, this should answer those concerns.
I was pleasantly surprised with my dealers response. They did all the right things. It's really great when people do what's right.
Now all I need is the air sensor. The dealer had to order one. He said that they never fail therefore they are not a stock item. I just hope they aren't on backorder. Oh well, that will give them plenty of time to do an alignment and get the new tires just right.
Same thing used to happen to people on b15sentra.net. As i recall the MAF's are pretty expensive, i think around $500 for an 03 spec-v, so be prepared.
On a side note, does anyone know the manual way to get the ECU to flash codes on the Z? I know on my sentra it was a sequence of tapping the gas pedal with the key turned to ACC.
Thanks, I have a sensor as well but I am letting them get me one under warranty. In fact, the sensor has already been installed. They are just waiting for the tires. Should have the car back tomorrow. Thanks for the help, in any case.

I have an 07 350Z Touring convertible and I have owned this car for about 4 years. The only real issue I have had is the TPS warning light. It flashes for about 30-60 seconds then stays on steady. Let me give you some history:
Car is 2007 350Z Convertible Touring with 87,000 Kilometres. No...
So I tried looking up the blinking pattern in the FSM but it wasn't in there...?
I did a repair on my car recently. Had to drop the tranny and adjust the clutch pedal so I may have done something to the wiring.
I want to know where to start but the diagnostic code isn't even in the FSM...
I have an 08 z and when I get on it and if I don’t let the rpms drop before letting the clutch out the and then get back on it the pedal will go back down half way and I smell my clutch burning can anyone help me
Hello all,
I have a 2005 Nissan 350Z, the problem is with the AC. The AC only blows out while I'm driving fast, on the highway so I can shampoo AC will blow out but I don't have controls over the speed of the fam. If I'm driving through the city idle at a stop light the AC does not blow??
what...
