New owner :-) ! Noise when pushing clutch pedal down!
mrt replied to B3n5253's topic in 350Z General
Well if it is the problem it,s a cinch to fix.. and cheap ! Let me know if i,m correct will you ? roger -
Re focusing on the car ! You,re gonna spend a LOT of time polishing that car... the colour is an absolute pig if there is a spec of dust on it ! Mine was washed and waxed AT LEAST once a week sometimes twice. I swear there was more wax than metal when i sold it. You could have melted it down and bottled it as honey ! Best time to take photos.. just as the sun is going down.. shows all the aluminium bits off well. I,ve got some good pics of my blue one but haven,t worked out how to post them yet. If you manage to get to the Lakes meet i will bring the I Pad to show you them. You might also get excited about this new exhaust !!! roger

Not a male brain but maybe an exciting one for a change ! Nice house too by the way. You must get a longer driveway cause by the sound of your replies you,re gonna have a big queue to deal with. If i were a hundred years younger i might be at the front ! regards Roger

For anyone interested, i had my wheels refurbed at a new startup company in Darlington, County Durham. Company called WHEEL TECH... TEL 01325 286096.... Cost for four rays ( tyres on ) £ 210. Car went in at 12 noon Monday and i collected 10 a.m. Tuesday... locked in the modern workshop overnight and they are insured ! Very profesional young couple. Regards MRT

Good news maybe ! I had exactly the same problem with my 07 Zed. There is a spring at the bottom of the clutch pedal which became slightly twisted on mine. Approx two thirds down the thing clunked but didn,t clunk on the way back up. Nissan replaced the pedal assembly on mine under warranty but they could have just replaced the spring which had become bent. Hope that,s the problem. regards Roger -
Wills Yes i will try to post a vid this weekend or maybe Monday... found a brilliant post that now tells me how to do it. Gonna get my son to video it down the lanes near me . Both interior and exterior sound clips too. regards roger

Hanna. Love the car... i sold mine .. same spec last year..... worst decison i ever made but never mind i,ve got a soft top one now. Have you viewed the youtube video made by 5th gear on a midnight blue one ? Best video i,ve seen and confirms you,ve made the right choice... I too live in a small village and completed my exhaust set up yesterday... reckon i,m gonna have to move as i too leave home at 5 am each day !!! sounds like a Lambo going through the village ! Good luck with the new car and its great that we have lady enthusiasts for what most would consider a brutish male car. Tame the beast ! regards Roger

Completed my exhaust set up yesterday . Now with full system the sound is perfect for me. Fitted at Tyre Spot Darlington... very professional and cannot recomend them high enough. Also had Falkens supplied and fitted a month ago £ 520 all in. They do the rear wheel alignment as well. John the manager indicated that he would be willing to discuss member discounts ... so maybe one of you moderators can contact him. mrt

My experience ? Owned two coupes both DE and HR and recently a convertible. Both coupes brilliant,faster,better looking,( if not over modded )and next to most others ( Porsche,TT,Mazda etc ) a no brainer ! But .... on a summers day with the sun beating down and a hard tin hat above you... can be claustrophobic especially in slow traffic. The convertible? an absolute joy with the top down on both warm days and the noise ...ooooh especially with my Cobra system and Berks. Rainy days ? go buy a cheap golf as a second car. The rag top is a pain when you open the window and all the water drips in from the roof. When cleaning you,ve only got half the car to polish !! Good luck with your choice friend.... either way you will be smiling. mrt

Just fitted the cobra resonated. Great sound. A lot louder at 3k rpm upwards. Cabin drone 2500 tp 3k but you get used to it. No problems fitting. Y pipe and Berks HFCS ,s going on next week. Good luck Rog.... Mrt

I will join the list once the mods are done . Hfc,s going on next week, spacers, air filter next, then on to the plenum spacer, up rev and finally engine bling ! Then I can start to enjoy the car even more ! Regards Rog...mrt

If you want to see that baby in action take a look at the 5th gear review on youtube. Its the same spec as your ... blue 57 plate... reproter says " its her favourite car " Great video. rog...mrt

Well done sir. I want one too. Care to come up north and do mine ? cheers rog..mrt

Your gonna love that car ! Best photograph early evening before the sun drops. Really shows off the blue and highlites the silver handles etc. Did you get the white/grey seats? They set it off perfectly. After this blade silver ragtop i,m back to blue ! enjoy

I sold my midnight blue 07 plate last year... Best with frost grey seats. Best looking car i ever had...wish i had never sold it. Would buy it back if it ever comes up. Needs a polish every week or if you,re not up to it buy silver. P.m. me and i will gladly send some pics after detailing. rog

Neo. Perhaps you will let me know when you fit the soundproofing and what results you achieve. Until then i,m only gonna drive with the roof down ! and a hearing aid switched full on ! Never done any mods before but i,ve got " Zed fever " now so onwards and upwards. Need to spend my savings before my sons get their hands on them ! Gotta change my taste in music too.... Sinatra doesn,t sound the same in a Zed ! My Passat coupe is for everyday and 56 mpg. Zed is for driving over the Dales at weekends. regards rog...mrt

Hi everyone. Can someone advise me the best place to have get an uprev done in my area. I am based near Richmond,North Yorkshire and work in Newcatle upon Tyne . Just starting performance mods and need advice on when to go for uprev. Many thanks Rog.... mrt

Thanks for the responses guys. Cougar warns of drone on the system without the mid box which is why i chose the mid on. Not to worry though cause i won,t be doing too much low rev driving this year ! I,m also aware that the volume might well increase with the HFC,s fitted..... but it,s taking years off me ! Think my problems with the bolts on show might be fixable with a little adjustment. Thanks again Rog...mrt
