I am selling the Z so decided to strip the PC from it. I am keeping most components but have no use for the screen or the retractable cubby in a new car.

I bought these at the same time almost 2 years ago, the screen is a 7" Linitx LCD Touchscreen and comes with all cables to fit wire up to a PC, such as USB, VGA, Audio leads etc. The screen is not marked and it is really clear. The photo shows some marks but these will be wiped off before sending, I was a bit lazy with the pictures!

I am after £200 posted for the pair, or will split for £100 each but would prefer to sell as one.

No it wasnt, I think its the manifold now to be honest. Will report back Thursday evening!

Cheers for the replies guys, I have checked my belts, its not them. I also check all the pulleys were clear and they are... One little test this evening has proved its the exhaust I think...

I went for a drive to get the car warm, after a spirited 10 minutes of driving the noise vanished, but instead I had a steady knock that was only happening when the exhaust note matched, if that makes sense... Am I right in thinking that this is strong evidence it is the exhaust? I have access to a ramp on Monday evening, but was hoping to fix this over the weekend!

Hey, not new to the forum but this is my first topic! Any help with my problem would be greatly appreciated as I am pulling my hair out!

Right, around 3 weeks ago I was on my way to a lake (yes my fishing gear fits in the Z!) and bottomed out on a track, pretty hard... I was only just moving in 1st, so had to be around 5mph at the time, but it stopped me dead. There was a lump on the track, which hit the left side of my car, there is no damage to the sump etc but there are scrape marks and a hole in the nearside cat's heatshield. The cat hasn't got a hole in, as far as I can tell. I jacked the car up and held my hand over the hole in the shield, no pressure at all.

Hitting this lump in the track ruined my exhaust, it took the centre section away from the flange where it meets the back box. So I have replaced it from the Y pipe back with a Scorpion system, hoping this would get rid of this squeal... But it hasn't! I now how a squeal that is coming from the lower end of the engine, I can barely hear it from above, but it is loud when under the car! I have checked by belts, and these aren't causing this noise. Over the last couple of days a knock has started too, it sounds like the exhaust knocking the bottom of the car, but the exhaust is solid, there isn't enough travel for it knock!

I am stumped! Has anyone else experienced this sort of noise before? I have recorded the noise in case it helps, video is below.

The noise is louder when moving in 1st and 2nd, and usually appears around 3,000 rpm more than anything.

Please help if you can, this is bugging the hell out of me! I have had the car 3 years and never had a problem, i'm not used to it being broken

Did it rattle at all when it was on the car?

Hi mate

Can you let me know if the sale falls through please?

Cheers

If you would take £35 posted I can send the money today :-)

I will buy the wheels, depending on your location as I will have to collect them. If possible, could you call me on 07972934292, or text. Thanks, Rob

Hi Fastfu,

Could you upload some pictures of the tread? I may be interested but will have to arrange a courier if that's ok? I only have the Z so can't pick them up!

Rob

Hey Ric,

Can you email me some pictures of the damage to R18MSK@gmail.com please?

Cheers

Thanks guys!

Has someone got the part number for the airbag coupler?

I definitely prefer the blue

It is a shame to see it go Adam, I loved it! I have to admit that buying the Audi was definately a great decision with the current economic climate!

This car will be missed!

No longer needed, it turns out I need the clockspring!

Hello again,

I am in desperate need of a clockspring (after some great advice from a member!)

Let me know if you have one!

Thanks

Hello,

I need the boss unit that contains the wheel electronics. It also houses the indicator & wiper stalks. The attached picture shows the part still attached to the column.

I need this part asap if anyone can help?

Thanks

sounds like the cabling in the rotary coupler is dodgy

Any suggestions on how to diagnose this and rectify?

Cheers, the steering wheel has never came off...

I had the airbag out today, I could take the wheel off and try to re-seat it... I have spoken to Nissan and they have quoted me £500 & labour to fix it so I will whip the wheel off now.

Any other suggestions while I am trying this one?

Thanks again...

Even though it is showing a drivers airbag fault? Along with the horn problems etc?

Sorry to question your help, I do appreciate it!

Hello,

I have an '04 350Z and the horn & stereo controls don't work all the time. Also, my airbag light is on, it has been confirmed the code showing is for the drivers airbag...

I have taken the wheel apart today and double checked the connections and they all seem fine, the horn etc was working fine again for 5 minutes, then it all stopped working.

I have seen posts on this after searching but nothing that actually solved the problem. Does anyone know anything about this? If not, would a 2.2 ohm resistor in the airbag plug & a light reset stop it from coming on?

Thanks for any help...
