hey guys,
Its been ages since I've been on the forum so I'd like to apologise for only ever coming on when I've got problems........speaking of which
my zed's in the workshop shes's been acting up lately, shuddering like crazy towards the end of long drives. the first mechanic I took her to didnt solve the probem but charged me for wheel balancing and alignment. the next mechanics couldnt find anything wrong with the engine either and said it had logged no errors.
In passing, I mentioned to them that my lovely friends in the southwest told me that my exhaust was blowing slightly due to a corroded gasket which, now that I'd thought about it, could be the cause of the problems. So they checked it out and lo and behold, its broken!
I could probably have said all of the above in one line but I have a flair for the dramatic
so, uh.... getting to the point
- do you guys reckon the exhaust could have caused the shuddering (at approx 60-70mph in 6th, around 3-3.5k revs cruising on the motorway) which disappeared in 10-15mins, after I'd pulled over and parked at the closest services
- can you guys suggest what exhaust I should replace my broke standard one with? bearing in mind I havent made any other mods to the car yet.
bit of extra info, the mechanics have quoted me in the region of £600 to fit a standard nissan exhaust back on there. hence the search for aftermarket options as I seem to recall there being some decently priced ones out there. oh and budget wise, i'm so poor i supplement my income by taking part in clinical trials (mind you, they do pay well )
