Hello.. I am a new Z350 owner and i would like to make a simple question. Is it normal when i shut down the engine to make some kind of vibrations (the engine).. Sorry for my ignorance but i have just purchased it used with 8890 Kilometers and that thing troubled me.

Welcome to NICO and congrats on the 350Z purchase!

As for your vibration, there shouldn't be anything significant, especially on a car with that low of mileage.

The car should still be under factory warranty so I'd have it looked at.

many thanks for the welcome and the reply.. It sounded strange to me the whole thing. The vibrations aren't so intense but i would like to know if this is normal to all Zs or its just mine that does it. As i said in the first post they only exist when i turn off the engine.

If you're referring to a clattering sound, and you have a 6MT, it's normal. The Manual 350Z's have a sual mass flywheel, which tends to be noisy under cerrtain circumstances. Usually when shutting down.

thanks for the reply..My Z is the 6MT and this exactly was the sound i was refering to.. I checked it with a mechanic and he said exactly the same thing (that it is normal).
