350Butcher

Evening Guys n Girls, Just thought I'd ask on here for your opinions. At speeds above 80mph I get some vibration through the steering wheel which is very annoying, it does the same on different sets of wheels, Ive done compression arm bushes, its had new wheel bearings and although these have improved it, its still there (possibly getting worse) and really bugs me especially as I'm doing more motorway driving these days!! I suspect you're all gonna say its the compression arm ball joint (and I suspect it is too) but all the reading and searching I've done on here would suggest it would give a knock or rattle when failed/failing, I don't have any noises at all though! The feel through the wheel is just like the wheels are out of balance, its does go completely for a time but 95% of the time its there and driving me nuts.......anyone had the same and found changing the arms cured the problem.......Help me!? Many thanks, Martin

Arran, not far at all. Its nice when you get to that point where a cars where you want it Well I shall see if these take the edge off (plus hopefully add a bit of torque) as I've ordered a pair of ART pipes today. Cheers for everyones comments on this

Cheers for that, found it and had a read and a listen, got some really nice mods on your car a few I'd like to do myself too You must be fairly local to me from the places you're going around, I'm in Frimley so I'll keep my eyes out for you

I'm not a massive user of forums so I've no idea where I'd even start looking for someones journal? If you've got a link or let me know where to look that would be great Cheers

Cheers for the info Arran, I'm thinking a pair of ART pipes are the way to go for my setup then

Cheers for your replies Arran, whats the rest of your exhaust setup? GT4 Zed, I don't think anything will make a K1 noticeably quieter! Did you run the straight decats and the ART pipes with your Miltek or only with the K1?

Following on from my last thread about controlling my volume to be track day friendly. Has anyone gone from running straight through decats to the motordyne ART pipes? What sort of reductions in volume do these offer? I know they are expensive but so is getting thrown off track days!!

.

Reading "Fitted: Berk decats | Motordyne XYZ pipe | custom 3" straight through mid pipe | Nismo backbox" I'm not surprised

Cheers for all the comments people But having the resonated xyz does make a big difference. When I only had the decats fitted with std system it was louder and a harsh noise too, not nice at all. Or maybe it just senses 98db's from a point a good distance from track because its only drive by limit no static testing but I've no idea where the sensor for noise are placed. My old decatted evo with blitz nur spec exhaust used to run around with the bung out with no problems but sometimes it seems some engine notes register high on Db scale when they dont sound loud and vise versa, Its a tough one! As people have mentioned I think I'll try and get my hands on some noise testing gear and take some readings, donington is 150miles away for me so I dont fancy turning round and going home again after 1 session

I'm booked on to my next track day at donington in August and I'm a bit concerned if I will breach the drive by limit of 98Db's with my new set up. Car has straight Berk decats and xyz y pipe with resonator fitted (with standard system fitted, the note changed but not a lot louder I didnt think) I have recently added the tanabe medallion touring system said to be 93Db's but possibly a bit more with the extra mods (but 5Db's!? When the volume doubles every 3db's roughly). Sadly I dont have any noise testing equipment to test it out myself I'd like to get comments only from people who actually do track days with their cars if they could post what exhaust set ups they run and whether you have any issues at circuits? Just to gauge if I may/may not have any issues with mine I'm assuming the nismo system is around the 93Db mark so if anyone is running decats with that do you have any problems? As a note, I honestly cant believe I can drive on public road to a circuit that has a busy airport next to it, that is situated directly underneath the flight path and then have to worry if I'm too noisy to drive around it!! The councils that enforce these rules are truly not all there Thanks in advance

Thanks again for your comments It is a great shot, love the bend the lense gives it Definitely not much travel left thumping over the joins on the way round! Such a great corner, looking up out the top of the windscreen for the exit just makes it all the more nuts

Cheers for the positive comments Cheers! Thanks for sorting those wheel bearings, made the 1100mile trip and my time upto and at 150mph much more comfortable I spent some time admiring that car, very very nice indeed! The Spec C's are the ones to have eh

Thought I'd share a few pics from my latest visit to the 'Ring from the 13th June with Circuit Days and Destination Nurburgring Hope you like

I guess this will be aimed at the Traders on here Has anyone got a set of the above for 350z with brembo caliper? I've been told 10 working days from Pagid so really need someone whos got these on the shelf as I'm in need by the end of next week latest Please PM if anyone can help me Cheers, Martin

Maybe its only me, but the roof lines are the best part of any Zed so cutting it off is a big no no!!
