ballistic

Anything been going on over the summer @Ian. Still going for Skyline? or more mods on this?

Had wubwubwub noise that sped up with vehicle speed. I diagnosed it as passenger wheel bearing by jacking the car and spinning the wheels. Fitted new one courtesy of Zman of course. Just tie the caliper out of the way. 2 caliper bolts and 4 hub bolts. The bottom one is tricky, but unwinding a little lock allows you to get a socket on it Not a particularly difficult job. No more horrible noise

Fair enough @ZMANALEX So far ive been sent a LHD one (advertised as rhd), a horrible Farbon finished one. Had to send em back Hope for better luck on the next one. Might get a twin pod as they seem easier to get and an additional gauge, any recommendations?

just ordered a generic one. Found this guy though https://www.southcoastflocking.com/product-page/nissan-350z-pillar-pod

I only have the time available. so gotta do what i can. Thanks for the tips. Archs and sills seem a priority then. Will hit the kidneys and whatever else i can.

I was hoping to find one for the Z, so far ive only found LHD ones. The universal ones are a last resort

Been looking around for the above. Havnt found anything. So, anyone got one or know where i can find one? Would appreciate it

Thanks @zelda, im not sure how this didnt pop up during my searches. Took some tips away I have about 4 hours on the lift. I could go back the next day if needed, but thats about it. I only wish i could do what he does in the vid.

Going to have the car up on the lift in a few days. Wanted to do some protection while im under there. Its reasonably clean for its age and mostly just surface rust. But i want to take some steps to keep it that way. I am planning to clean away any surface rust and use Bilt Hamber SC-50 for cavities. And for exposed metal surfaces (such as W brace) i will use BH Dynax-UC or maybe BH Electrox, not sure which is more appropriate. Just wondering if others who have done this have any tips for areas to look out for, or must do's while im under there? Or any advice on products etc

Thought i would give it a few days and see what happens. Still playing up. Sometimes they spring into life after driving a while. The exact same symptoms people describe resolving with a air con controller replacement.

thanks guys. checked every fuse and rechecked the ac controller. No success yet. @marzman ribbons on both the old and new are fine. Going to replace my passenger hub tomorrow. After i will have a look at earths and take out the cluster and have a look.

Thanks for finding out i appreciate the help, ive checked all fuses. No problems there. what other air con unit can be a problem?

As mentioned its intermittent, so i doubted its down to a fuse. But i checked em anyway. No luck Do you remember which fuse it was? It could be that the second air con controller is also faulty. unlikely though. If its an earth, im not sure where to start

just the crazy cluster

The dials on my main cluster are all reading at extremes. Sometimes after turning the ignition on and off multiple times they start to read correctly. Believe it or not. Im not out of fuel while at 9000rpm doing 250mph with 200 C temps. Im actually sat on my driveway. (Also i haven't done 600,000 miles) Tried replacing the air con control unit: Didnt help. Anyone experience anything similar? Any suggestions or advice appreciated.

Initially i wasn't sure about the 400Z, i felt it was trying too hard to be retro. But after some time and mainly seeing it in some other than that revolting yellow in the press release: I really like it! Although you need to see a car like this in the flesh ofc

Amazing

I have mixed feelings too, I like the grey colour of the second ones, but not sure about that pattern. Both look good when lit up.

Their really that bad eh? A Covid mod i will regret?

Or have them fitted? These: Link Or even these: Link Or am i just getting bored?

Nice. Im in NE London. We are trying to revive a pre-covid Essex/Bluewater Zed meet. Its on the 2nd Fri of every month, evening. Thought i would let you know as you mentioned you wanted to meet other owners. If youre interested

Welcome! Nice spoiler Where are you based?

I might be interested in the bumper for the right price.

Got the same badge on my N1 bumper and skirts. My spats are replicas iirc. Are you removing the kit to sell? @bigearmuffs
