    Braking/stopping issue

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    The heavy vibrations through the brake pedal sounds like the ABS was acting. Possibly some diesel spilt on the hill?

     

    Possibly...it was wet and that may have been the case...its happened before in dry conditions doing under 10mph though, surely ABS wouldnt be kickin in then :wacko:

     

    was there not a massive diesel spillage the other day in the town centre? where abouts were you?

     

     

    check your pads etc its easy to do and plenty of guides on here, i forgot to email you back the other day about the painter, got your message at work then totally forgot about it... will pm u in 2 mins

     

    Na mate I wasn't in town. Just a garage in the Clydebank area.

     

    pads are brand new, discs are not in great condition but all were checked by Nissan and given the okay, all ABS sensors have been checked etc

     

    If it happens again when I reckon it shouldn't be I'll just need to take it to Nissan again...and get charged for more diagnosis checks :lol:

    Thats what I thought also but this has happened to me before under different circumstances.

     

    It has happened twice before where my car has been parked at the station all day during work, I've jumped in and when approaching the exit of the car park it done the same thing.

    The other night I filled up at a petrol station. The exit from the station was quite a steep hill which entered onto a 50mph dual carriageway and when I tapped the brakes nothing happened and rolled straight onto the carriageway :scare:

     

    Luckily for me it was about 11pm and there was no traffic, I dread to think what might have happened if this happened during rush hour.

     

    No warning lights came on and when it happened, there was no movement in the brake pedal which was rock hard but there was heavy vibrations through it.

     

    I have taken this to my local Nissan garage but they have found no problems with the Zed such as the brakes, ABS etc

     

    Any ideas what this can be?

     

    Cheers

    Noob questions

    Hi all,

     

    May I ask a couple of questions regarding a possible 350z purchase:

     

    1)was the tan leather a cost option above the GT pack?

     

    2)what is the availability of second hand rays alloys? I have seen a couple of sets in the ad section on here, they seem to be around £600 but do they come along often?

     

    3)The gearbox in the car I test drove was a little sticky going into 2nd when cold. This seemed to get better once warmed up. Is this normal or is it a potential problem?

     

    Thanks for any info.

     

    Get bidding if you want your RAYS :thumbs:

    Big shout out to Jay for his help and advice who went to see the car with me yesterday :#1: he knew more about the car than the salesman
