    Exhaust systems

    in Exhaust

    Posted

    Buy a good sounding exhaust. the 350 sucks without it. :D

     

    I would if I was planning on keeping it much longer. But for selling it I reckon it'll be easier with something stock sounding.

     

    If anyone has any idea of the price of the OEM system let me know! But hopefully a weld will be sufficient!

    And cheers for the Cobra advice too, that's the one I'd seen earlier but couldn't find again! My first hope is for just a weld job but will definitely keep this in mind! Thanks again mate :thumbs:

    The fit is always hit and miss with eBay systems from unbranded systems, we do the Scorpion for £374... :)

     

    Yeah, I'm always wary of eBay for car parts! Will keep the Scorpion in mind, although judging from YouTube videos I may stick with something more OEM sounding for selling it!

     

    Cheers :thumbs:

    I should add that my exhaust has split just in front of the back box (seems the common problem area) and that I'm just looking for something that fits existing brackets and with similar tips to the OEM. So even something similar to OEM provided it's not more expensive!

    TONNEAU COVER FASTENERS

    in Wanted

    Posted

    hoping someone here can help...

     

    i have one of these tonneau covers (i am a complete zed novice and it would appear this is a bit of a bonus judging from the number of people who want them!) but it has broken at the top where it attaches to the underside of the brace.

     

    seems that he small rubberised plug which attached to the brace and held the thread has worn away.... means there is nowhere for the screw to actual, err, screw.

     

    apart from bodging something together with superglue, are there are better fixes/suggestions out there?

     

    thanks in advance from a novice... this place has already been invaluable to me!

     

     

    From what I understand of your post you're looking for the part I posted a link to directly above your initial post. This rubber plug pushes into the hole in the underside of the strut and it has an internal thread, so when you screw into it the plug expands to stay in the hole. (Like a rawlplug for a wall, hence the name rawlnut)

    Sorry if I've misunderstood you completely, if I have then just ignore me!

     

    Watshot's solution seems great though, I might be tempted to attempt that on mine!

    WANTED: OEM TONNEAU COVER (after Drysd4le & bazmcc

    in Wanted

    Haha! You can now edit your thread title to remove the part about being after drysdale and myself in the list!

     

    PS - If you get one second hand ask if it comes with the rawlnuts which you use to screw into the underside of the strut bar - mine didn't so I had to source some today. Have ordered something which apparently works but will have to wait for it to arrive to find out for certain - had to buy a pack of 50 of them so if you need any let me know, I'll send you a few for free

    My 04 JDM Zed doesn't have threaded holes for the tonneau - a brand new tonneau cover comes with 2 rawlnuts which you use to screw into. These sit in the holes left by the removal of the 2 hooks on the underside of the crossbar.

     

    I bought mine second hand so was missing these rawlnuts but a quick search on google found these for me, as suggested by a member of another 350Z forum

     

    http://www.toolfastdirect.co.uk/acatalog/Rawlnuts.html

     

    It's the M4 x 11 (0-2mm) ones apparently

     

    They only come in packs of 50, and I've just ordered mine today, so I'm not certain if they work yet, but a few people on the other forum said they work well.

    Rear sound deadening

    in 350Z Modifications

    Posted

    Looking for some help about sound deadening. I've been reading various reports on various websites and forums about it but could do with some more advice.

     

    I'm basically looking to reduce the road noise from the rear of the car. I'm currently searching for a tonneau cover to help, but I'm also looking at maybe putting a deadening layer around the spare wheel bay and on the rest of the boot floor. I keep reading about Dynamat and Dynamat Extreme, but does anyone else have any other alternative suggestions? I'm not necessarily needing top-notch stuff at huge prices, just something reduce the sound from the rear to let me hear music and the engine better! My other requirement would be that the material isn't too thick.

     

    And also, roughly what surface area would I be looking to cover?

    Does anyone now much about this white zed?

    All very true. I'd consider buying a car in that condition from someone who was honest enough about every fault it had. I just get the impression (based purely on what I can tell from the advert) that he's not been totally honest about it all. Little things like the broom handle holding up the boot and the cubby lid etc should all be mentioned and photographed clearly IMO.

     

    As I said though, if travelling isn't an issue, go for it. Maybe try and check out some others en route to make the trip more worthwhile!

     

    Good luck either way!
