Been a little while since I did a 350Z tech video of any kind.... but hey, it seems to break more than the VWs do these days. This 15 year old car vs 50 year old cars.... What's your feelings on that?

@martinharris5017

I reckon very few of these newer cars will be around in 50 years time. They are nice to drive and reliable for a few years, but tricky to diagnose and repair (except for The Duckman maybe!). Then again, my eldest son (age 14) is as passionate about cars like your 350Z as I am about VWs, and is learning how to maintain and modify them, so maybe a whole new generation will treat these Imports with the same care we oldies do with our classics? As for EVs...nah.

With so much tech these days, there is so much more to go wrong. I think that is why older cars are becoming more popular. Less to go wrong, easier to repair/diagnose, and in most cases cheaper too. Only problem is availability of spare parts.

Ensure the new rubber stop is indeed high enough to prevent the pedal from extending beyond its effective range.... that small amount is ridiculous, but enough to affect operation. In other words, try taping a penny over the rubber bumper. Do this when the car is off, of course. Then try and start it, see if that fixes the problem. Maybe you need a bigger stopper.

@@markculp1992 Oh wow, tahts a winner! I wish I had this video for me when it happened... but I was close to home and just idled through the gears with the AC on to keep it throttle up a little..... for what its worth! But I put a penny and a piece of tape when the clutch sensor didn't wanna let me start the car haha... I was on a hill anyway so it didn't really matter too much. But its fixed, too, now! Thanks so much for the feedback and the comments!
