Aye im delighted. I love my baby again! Have any of you guys/gals got a 300zx?

Just a wee update as promised. Arms arrived on wednesday and duly fitted. I was really impressed with the service and quality. As i said it was GENUINE Nissan arms. They have also been adapted as there was a flaw with the original arms. Which Nissan have rectified. Apparently they are known for knocking ! Haha. Like i said all fitted, now big drumroll here............... Sorted!! No more annoying rattle!! Hallelujah! So thank you everyone who offered their advice. I will have no problem heeding such advice in the future. By the way the overall cost for the TWO arms and a jwt pop charger was £350. Including shipping, there was a £20 import tax right enough. But i am happy with the savings! And the induction kit sounds great too!! P.S. Anyone want to buy the superpro poly compression arm bushes?

Haha na i was born and bred in motherwell. My house is in wishaw but i live in denny!! Haha if u can work all that out theres a blue peter badge in it for u! No my car wasnt in "the garage". Shes still standard but while i bought my arms i thought, when in rome and stuck a jwt pop charger in for good measure! The old credit card is taking a pounding this month!! Haha. Any mods or anything on you guys' cars?

Sometimes written text doesnt come through as how it was intended. I didnt have an attitude about it. I felt people were attacking me. Some of the stuff i was writing was tongue in cheek and a bit of a laugh. So hopefully you guys dont think im an ar$3hole or something like that!! Haha. Ill no doubt need your help in the future. Ive came from a z32 300zx tt then to a s14a 200sx and back to another 300zx. Now ive moved onto the 350z. I was looking for one for a while, when i saw this one i knew i had to get it. Its a yellow gt4. Not sure you got that from my id? Hahaha Anyway i probably should have introduced myself a bit before asking for help too! :: So my name is Steven and im from Wishaw. Cheers guys

Thanx watshot. I still dont understand why people are being off with me. Im just wary of spending more money. As i have said ive already wasted a lot. I dont doubt all of you have years of experience. And if it fixes my problem then as ive said before i really appreciate it. So fingers crossed. And ill let you guys all knoe if it helps. And if it doesnt you can all laugh at me again then. Cheers guys

If you had read my post you would see i bought genuine nissan arms. And i have listened to advice. I was just trying to save money as i have already wasted a lot.

Well as you can see i have. So i look forward to rattle free enjoyment again!!

There seems to be al ot of people on here that like to shoot me down and tell me "to shut up and put up with it". Like ive said many times before i appreciate everyones responses. And i was making light hearted jokes. But obviously this forum is too serious and doesnt have the time. Well just to let you know ive ordered 2 genuine nissan arms from the states and its cost me £240 for both including shipping. Ill know in future to not bother asking for help.

Haha i know mate!! plus im easily irritated, so this wee rattle is doing my head in!

No bother cos ive got bundles of cash just lying about doing nothing! Ive recently spent £1000 on 4 new michelin tyres. My insurance is up this month along with my tax! So just blowing ANOTHER £250 for 1 arm is a pebble in the sea. The reason im asking if they are genuine nissan is cos i work in the trade and have lots of contacts plus trade discounts and i cant get these arms for under £360. And fleabay has 2 aftermarket arms for £200 with free delivery. Plus im a stereotypical scottish tight wad! Hahahahaha Ps thanx for all ur responses. And does anyone want to buy a z32? Haha

Are yours genuine Nissan ones mate?

So thats a 100% money back guarantee that a new arm will fix it? Haha if yes then we may have to talk business

Hahaha aye mate tightened to 154nm. Ive already taken discs/pads calipers off to check and clean. This vibration started IMMEDIATELY after the bushes being fitted. Ive taken the subframe off again and applied lots and lots of grease to all the poly bush sections and where they contact. Just in case haha.

They're both the same fault. When im going over bumps its knocking At what sounds like the top strut mounting. Then when high speed braking the exact same noise is there along with a severe vibration through steering. I live in falkirk i know youre in perth, is there any chance i could show you?

I hope i didn't come across as disrespectful as that was not my intention. I appreciate all your advice. The thing is after i fitted these bushes ive had this vibration through breaking. I've seen arms in america that are costing About £250 for both. Including delivery, but then youre not sure of quality either! I dont know what to do!

Does anyone have the fitting instructions for spf2849k? I think i may have pressed the bush in the wrong way. This might be causing my problem. Zmanalex i dont have a spare 250 notes mate. I can almost guarantee its not the ball joint. I checked it and there is no movement in the cup. I cant keep throwing money at it and it not fixing my problem. So far its cost me £390!

Aye garage is good, its mine! Haha well im the manager. Ive had my master tech and mot tester look at it and they are stumped too. The ball joint is solid. Absolutely no lateral movement. The bushes i got are the ones that allow caster adjustment. Is there anything special fitting instructions? They were recommended over the standard replacement superpro bushes. Im beginning to question if they are the right ones.

Cheers for the advice. Since changing the banana arm bushes im getting a massive vibration and knocking when doing high speed braking at 60mph+. Btw i think i may have been bumped with the bushes as i paid £151.28 and ive just seen a couple of websites doing the same ones for £80.22!!

Hey guys. I have the most annoying rattle ever! Ive checked EVERYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING. Ive changed the compression arm bushes with superpro ones. As the offside one was worn. Ive changed the steering rack as that had slight play in it. And still this noise continues! Ive taken the drop link off completely and that makes no difference. Im going insane! Its totally ruining a fantastic car for me. The noise is coming from the drivers side front wing when doing low speeds 20-30mph. The best way to describe it is its like a drop link ball joint is knackered, which it isnt)! Please spmeone help me!!!!
