well i've had the z for a year now but its time to say bye bye. i've just sold it and bought a mitsubishi evo x in pearl white. The z's been fun but i found the evo to be in a different league. I certainly have no intentions of turning into a chav or doning a burberry cap while driving it. so id just like to say a big thanks to every one. Ive got to say this is without dowt the best car club ive ever joined, everyone is super friendly and helpfull, all the best for you z nutters. lets hope i can find a decent evo club where the majority of them can speak more than basic english

looking for a set of 19 inch lm nismo alloys if anyone has a pair

had a look at this, loosened the handbrake from centre console but the hole on the hub is at the bottom on my car at the minute, does it need to be at the top to adjust it

had a look at the hole in the disk but didnt see anything which would adjust the handbrake, anyone have an idea

The battery died a few days a ago so the zed was sat for a day or two. put the battery back in thought everything was fine but ohhhh nooo. The back drivers brake seems to be stuck on or so i thought. if you either put the car in 1st or reverse the car wont budge, the other 3 wheels are fine and free. cracked the caliper off the sticking back wheel but the the pads aint sticking to the caliper which i thought was the problem. so with the caliper off you can only rock the disk back and forth about 1cm, somethings stuck and i dont hav a clue what it is, so if anyone can shine a light please let me know

40psi is a tad high, should be 35psi if there 18's could be why it bobs about if your tyres have that much air in them

yeah maybe, gear stick seems to vibrate a little but i just put it down to all the power its trying to handle

makes a change to find a decent bmw driver, generally theyve debadged there 320d's drive up your ass like there in an m3 and fly down the right hand lane to the roundabout and pull infront of everyone

what tyres do you have on, how much tread is left on them and what psi is in your tyres can all cause your problem

no lights come on and i dnt feel the car being stopped by tcs, i can can tell when it does it. just feels boggey like its not delivering power correctly, ive got slight concerns its not engaging gears 100%

wheel hop, i take it you mean wheel spin, the key to good traction is decent tyres. If your running standard bridgestone re040 tyres this should be your first priority to get some decent rubber as everyone will agree the bridgestones on this car are rubbish

as the weathers picking up and im drivin the z more so ive started to notice a few niggles that need fixing 1) drivers window makes a whistle noise seems to come through between the tweeter plastic cover, so is the rubber seal gone? 2) when i change down from 3rd to second say when your approaching a roundabout and carry on and give it some beans, it makes a wurrgh noise. not alot of power gets over 3000rpm and its fine. but the power does seem abit intermitent, any ideas?

2.5p a litre more id like to know what they waste all the tax money they recieve from petrol on

Well ive owned the z for 3 months now and i must say i love it. Its by far the best car ive ever owned and driving it everyday puts a smile on my face. To me its fantastic value for money and a very underated car in my opinion. I honestly cant think of a car i'd rather be driving at the minute without spending a good 15k plus on top of the z'ds value, i wish i bought one sooner. The only downsides i have for the z'd is i want to be driving it all the time, find it a little intermitent with how it puts its power down, other than that i think we should praise nissan for making an awesome car

The easiest way to remove scratches is to use cerium oxide, it comes in powder form. mix a little with water stick it on a foam applicator pad or use a d/a polisher. 5 minutes later good bye scratches

oh dont worry, twin turbo setup will be coming my way very shortly, then ill be able to smoke the guy i see driving his r35 gtr to work everyday. love that car but im sick of seeing his rear end everytime he smokes me

ill hav to turn the vdc off and see if it feels better, took my dad for a spin the other day. said it felt fast but he expected it to pin him in his seat more, its a strange beast the z'd some days it feels like a rocket and others it seems abit sluggish

just saw a vid on utube, 350z vs subaru wrx race from a stand still. 1st race the 350z had the anti spin control on, which i presume is esp/vdc. 1st race the 350z was a good few car lengths behind but on the 2nd when he switched it off it was a much closer race, neck and neck. my question is does turning the esp/ vdc make that much of a difference

if your after a new genuine nismo v1 kit youll be looking around £1700 maybe more for the full kit

its pretty obvious from the pictures that its them at fault id just have a chat with them, i dont see how they can manage to do it and not realise. They own a brand new punto and seem to have little respect for your car let alone theres.

Finally fitted the 5/16 plenum spacer today. Took alot longer than i thought as its just so dam fiddly gettin certain pipes off lol got a few battle wounds now. Took it out once finished and to me it seems to accelerate quicker, revs climb faster, sounds alot better and better mpg on the motorway. The only downside is i have to retap the threads in a bolt hole either side as im sure that one of the previous owners had changed the strutbrace and naffed these particular holes, oh well 3 bolts a side will do save a bit of weight with a few bolts less

ive heard of the common rear clicky axle sound but im not sure if thats whats up with my car, it seems to make a noise when im settin of slow or even when im turning, it just seems to moan and groan, its getting on ma tail end and i need to sort it out but not sure what the problem is, any advice??

yeah thats the one, never did it today anyway it snowed ill just do it i think its not exactly open heart surgery to put it on

i mean the gasket under the lower plenum, didnt see why i had to take it off in the first place

ill just stick to high octaine, although i dont know if this is true but supposidly as 95 ron and 98/99 ron hav different additives in them,if you mix both your ment to get an even greater fuel, not sure how true it is
