Still got this exhaust? Get in touch and we'll have a chat about it. I may be interested. What size are the tailpipes?

I like the colour. Buy it! Will be fine and it must be motorway miles anyway.

Where are you based? Maybe if somebody on the forum is local to you they might let you have a look at there Zed so that you could compare. I really think you need to drive it to know whether you like it. You could even get a 1day insurance for around £20 if that's the reason. Are you willing to travel for a 350z? I'm only asking because I think there are loads of better ones about for the money. But that might just be me. It just seems that it's got silly mods etc and for some reason I wouldn't trust it. A performance clutch wouldn't make the clutch any stiffer than normal although I wouldn't imagine it to be an issue anyway.

no point playing with tyre pressures, won't help. at the end of the day those rear tyres are made from the scraps of an eleastic band factory. they are crap. changing pressures on them is like polishing a turd. how ever hard you try its still a turd.

Haha! Brilliant! +1

Get onto camskill.com and buy a full set of falken fk452's for about 450quid delivered. They may be less than that as sometimes they're on offer. 225.45.18 and 245.45.18. Very good speed and load ratings and once they're run in they're fantastic for the money and tread wear is really good. Can't go wrong. You might pay 1k for the bridgestones and they'll be worn out in half the time. Effective costing you 4x as much for no real noticeable gain on grip. Read some reviews etc.

And no I don't work for falken.

Infact, I think this car was on the forum somewhere. The guy was showing it from standard step by step through the mods. I didn't like the colour coding of the rear strut brace cover etc though. I'll try to find it.

Yea fair enough. They are brembos. The size was just deceiving being behind those wheels. Makes it look like there's a bigger gap.

Overpriced for what it is I reckon. I think it's an import and I reckon bumpers have been replaced etc. dont think its a gt, has cheapy looking mods and tiny breaks etc. You could get something really nice and much newer for that money if you hang on. And original rays would be far better. Do a text check on it.

Ok good I was hoping it was normal. Thanks for all the replies chaps. There is no clicky axel issue, checked for this thoroughly when I bought the car.

I wouldn't advise putting holes in it.

 

Is it the HR twin intakes ? I have a fair few options not on the website, or the Stillen high capacity intake for the DE is a great replacement.

 

Custom exhausts can be good if you find a decent place, resale value is pretty bad compared to a branded system.

 

Drop me a pm if I can help

Ok,

Thanks for the advice everyone. What are the k sport lowering springs really like off your website then? Seems like a good price? Are they as good as some of the more pricey brand names?

Sorry dude but I think you've had no replies as you need to be more specific - do you mean the wheel rotated 1/2" or do you mean the wheel (when lifted) could be moved 1/2"? If the latter, it's pretty serious.

I believe he meant that it could be rotated 1/2 inch. Normal?

It's not the normal clicky axel issue tho. Tis different. No noises at all when driving.

Anybody know if its normal?

Hi. Anybody know of a method of creating the extra induction sound on the 300bhp revup model without having to remove the decent airbox. I had a JWT popcharger on my 54plate and loved the sound. However not overly keen on ruining the air intake on the my06 by removing the standard airbox. Has anybody tried putting an extra hole on the cold side of the airbox or anything like that? She seems a little muted.

Also, do you think id be mad getting a custom true dual system fitted rather than going with one of the well known brands? Any advice would be great.

Steve

Hi. Just had some new tyres fitted. The guy said that there was about 1/2 an inch movement on the rear wheels when he was removing them. He was unsure whether it was normal, maybe something to do with the diff?

He also said that he heard the car click as I reversed back and braked. As if the wheels had an extra 1/2" turn before that stopped?

Any ideas?

Thanks Steve

Ah I see! Good effort old son. Only just got this Zed so haven't done anything to it yet. Has a 54plate Nismo before that. Who do you work for then? I'll look out for your car. Not very often in Exeter.

Haha, me! Doing an Hnd there on Fridays. Took the car instead of the van that week.

Hmm, tried both and no luck. Any other ideas anybody?

Steve

Ok great. So long as it's easily fixed. I'll try all the methods and I'm sure one of them will work.

Cheers all!

The problem the car has at the moment is that when using the auto up on the drivers side, the window drops back down again once it gets to the top, thinking something is it the way, not knowing it's got to the top if you know what I mean

Is it? Ok, I'll try both. Thanks again!

Hell! That easy? Awesome. I'll give it a shot on the 12th. Cheers for that

I'm picking up my new 06 facelift 350z on the 12th but I think the drivers window needs re learning to know where the top is etc so that it stops at the top and drops down when opening the door. Is this just a case of doing an ECU reset using the peddle dance? Anybody know if this works for resetting the windows? Also I really wanted one that came with a Sat Nav built in, but unfortunately had to go for this one without the sat nav. How easy is it to get hold of a sat nav and install it properly? Major job or easy?

Any help would be great.

Cheeers!

Great thanks for all the replies. The gearbox isnt really notchy as such. Just makes a bit of a clunk or almost a small crunch as it goes into 6th at any speed. Is this likely to get worse if it is to do with the syncro?

Hi everyone. I recently sold my 350z and bought an s2000 but have decided to get another Z again instead and sell the Honda. I just viewed a pretty well priced 06 facelift 350z GT. I was keen on buying it until I viewing it but found a few small issues that I would like some advice on. Are they common issues and can they be easily rectified?

1) Gearbox makes a small clunk when engaging 6th gear at higher revs. Every other gear seems fine and 6th is fine at lower speeds? Can this be sorted easily or is it likely to be serious? He said it's done it since he's had it but I'm worried it will only get worse?

2) Drivers window goes back down when it gets all the way up. Also it doesnt drop down when opening the door. It's as if it doesnt recognise that it's all the way up. Can this be re programmed or something?

3) Both doors are a bit clicky when opening. Noticed that the bolts appear to be loose holding the hinges.

This is all thats concerning me majorly. The only other things are the normal ones like boot wont open properly without help and Bose CD playing skipping.

Any help and advice would be great. Thankyou
