All Is Well With Nissan 350Z In Bruneis, Firm Reassures
By Izam Said Ya'akub

Bandar Seri Begawan - Nissan 350z owners in Brunei have been reassured that they will be contacted should their cars face issues similar to those in America. The issue which is only specific to the 2007 model of 350z cars had initially caused concern amongst Bruneian owners, but a spokesperson from Boustead Sdn Bhd has reassured that they will be notified once they are supplied with further information.

"We will contact the owners if there is news from Japan regarding their vehicles," said the spokesperson.

The cars in Brunei differ from their left hand drive counterparts, and so far there are only a few examples of the 2007 car equipped with the manual transmission here in Brunei.

Nissan North America has issued a voluntary service campaign on specific 2007 350Z cars, for an issue with the clutch hydraulic system in the six speed manual version of the car. Nissan had discovered that on certain vehicles the clutch slave cylinder was not manufactured appropriately, resulting in the operating force of the clutch pedal to be light, and in some cases, improper clutch operation.

Local owners of the sport scar first heard of the news on January 16, 2008, when a car owner in North America posted the information online. "We had read about the news online, and there are a handful of the owners here with the HR engine, (2007 model)" said one owner who wished to remain anonymous. The car has garnered a following all over the world for offering old school sports car thrills after Nissan took a no nonsense approach in the development of its iconic Z car that first arrived on the scene in the late sixties. In Brunei the manual version of the car has become the sought after specification, after the initial cars to arrive here were automatics.-- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
