good answers thanks all, @L4V15 not a cold related problem as it was summer. but thanks anyway, @ Darren-B no heavy clutchwork just coming into a built up area from the open road. i'll start off with the fluids and go from there................I love my 350z

when listening it wasnt specific to either side and didnt increase / decrease with cornering. but i will add them to the list to be checked. (incidentally just popped new set on the fronts wow what a difference) keep em coming

nope, but will be the first thing to check, keep em coming.

Hello, I drive from sunny norfolk down to sunny goodwood this year. After an energetic drive striaght there, lots of q's and a sniff around portsmouth my 54, 350z started making a grumbling noise from the back end - transmition!! My initial thinking is that it got hot and the rear diff must have been dry as a bone, it sounded very raw and uncomfortable like something down the back was packed with sand. I parked up worried, had a few beers and thought that i should ponder for a few hours. The next day she started, good as gold as usual and the noise had gone! smooth as silk transmition same as usual. The journey back was taken very easy and the problem didnt re occur. Have you guys and girls got any thoughts! Findlay

I wonder if im getting old! Remember RoboCop (well i think it was) when someone comes too close, big flames come out from under the car and vapourise the little darlings........proximity protection. When I win the lottery, i may have to invest into this............ Fin

Hello, I went down to the Goodwood festival of speed last week from Norwich. it was fantastic...petrol, burning rubber, noise, v8's, beer and scantily clad women (the WD 40 girls were stunning, i wonder if my mrs will wear a WD40 catsuite!).................I AM GOING NEXT YEAR. Sadly when I arrived (4 hours after departing Norwich) and was driving low speeds through Portsmouth i heard a grumbling from the drive at the rear. this sounded like the drive was full of gravel. Fingers crossed, i parked up and hoped that when everything had cooled down, that it would dissapear like magic by the next day! Luckily the next morning, it had and was smooth and sound. Also the return journey to Norwich went without noise or incident! My question is this............Does the forum think that it was probably the rear diff hot and bothered and could do with a little more grease?!? or is the census, that it may well be something a little more "interesting" Your thoughs gentlefolk of knowledge?

Hmmmm....... I have just bought my first little baby and am looking to get her tip top. The front bumper needs a re spray, how much should I be looking at for it? Gunmetal grey

Well done, let me know if you come accross another.

thanks for the number plate cover up , newbie mistake.

well done fella, interestingly the spec that i am after...............how much did you pay........and did they have another lol.

Hello, I have been looking at........ http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p Although the Advert says 2 owners, HPI checks say its 3. Also, it looks grey but says silver?!?!A part from that does any one know anything about it VIN starts JN...... so hurrah, we have a uk car! Still looking. 350z, gold or black or gunmetal, Black leather, less than 80k, under 6k and a UK car!

Cheers C.J, a little too expensive and the wrong colour (dispalying my feminine side). Fastfu...........agreed, but, I have time and just sold my old motor(£££) and look at autotrader, here and pistionheads with monotonus regularity, and will drive anywhere in the UK to get one................so with luck, and fingers crossed, and (i know, too many "and's") anyway, with all of that, hopefully one will fall into my lap.

No need to reply......uk vn starts..JN.....jap import z33....this site is worth its weight in gold. Still looking by the way....... Wanted. less than 80k leather black or gunmetal grey or even gold with black leather Uk models....... Woooo hooo...saving saving saving..i now have 5k plus to share Oh and again.......woooo hooooo

you guys are good to me. Ive got a bonus at work, so I am going to put this info into action sooner rather than later. Wooooohoooo.... Far too excitable about what is essentially metal and rubber with a small helping of leather. Any advice on vin numbers, just incase gold brembos and longplate bumpers have been fittef. Fin

I am also looking and had my first drive yesterday.............coming from a 2.0v Turbo Fiat, there isnt as much savage rip your face off, but the power delivery is great smooth and goes on and on and on. Apparently another tell tale sign is square plates for an import (please confirm guru's) The sound was something of extreme beeeeuuuuty, (the mrs said it scared her)......my nipps may have got a little hard. I can't wait to find the one with my name on it.................currently saving!!!!!!! If you get a sniff of something post it on the site and again the Guru's can generally tell you about something about it. Fin
