 Offered me £21,500 when they saw my Nismo in the flesh but I managed to sell her for £23k so depends on how desperate to sale you are.

That's not that bad

They are a business after all 

I'd want a couple of grand profit of a car if I had to pay someone 21k then try and sell it again

Interesting project, I can imagine the electronics being an absolute nightmare with that! A lot of effort there going into that, fair play to him for giving it a go. 

I'm sure the hardware etc will be available to the US guys especially being cjm 

Wont be cheap tho 

I spotted this on the US fourum 

This is Charles from cjm the chap who builds the fuel systems and other stuff 

Good little thred to keep an eye for updates

Had this fitted today (hardened & much more rubber than the pathetic oem one) fast road NIS234M

 

It has made a massive difference!  Gearchanges are smoother and less jerky, I've also seen an improvement in acceleration and braking  

 

I bought from wg_motorparts on ebay

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323416504257

 

Excellent customer service and competitively priced & couldn't find for sale by the forum sponsors on their websites. 
 

Very tempted to uprate the engine mounts as well to reduce the heavy front engine pendulum effect in corners & tighten up the drivetrain further to enhance acceleration, braking & prevent wear.  Reckon this is more important than arbs & springs, but will prob do them as well, but may be later, after doing the engine mounts. 

 

VibraTechnics only do competition spec engine mounts & mine's a daily so thinking may be Hardrace?  Rhdjapan have Sun ones but gets very expensive with delivery and import taxes so want to buy from UK distributor.  
 

Good to hear the results 

I want to put one on my 370.

Any extra nvh with it fitted 

I'm trialing this kit in a few weeks 

Once tested it will be available to uk customers and there will be a thred up here 

Until then have a little browse it's a nice simple effective kit 

Which is better than the stillen kit in a lot of ways and should hopefully be a tad cheaper

No problem, happy to help!!    

 

Yeah was great to be out in a Z again, especially one with a bit of boost!   I really did enjoy it and I only tickled the surface..........really liked that it goes about its business like a normal 370z just with afterburners when you touch the throttle!!  Appreciated you letting me have such a decent drive of it.

 

Catch up soon mate

Ha ha anytime mate 

We'll get it on a track day and let you realy let it go 

And show me a few track tips 

Gave the car a bit more love today

The local Z legend strikes again 

 

You'd this after the same issue noted on the Z33 that the Z34 would have ironed that out, tut tut.

He sure did 

I think it's possible that it came off during clutch installation 

But I literally moved it 3/4 mm not much but makes all the difference 

Car needs a @davey_83 spit and polish soon lol

Massive thanks to @350Butcher who helped me bleed out my clutch and brakes today 

I wasnt happy with the way the clutch felt after fitting and martin has the same clutch and knows his way around the tools extremely we all know 

So we got a bit more feel in the clutch and bled the brakes while we was at it 

The clutch felt loads better after bleeding but still felt notchy while going for 5/6

So after reading a thred on here about a similar problem i decided to try what it suggested.

  so I dived into the gear stick area and to check to see if the gate was restricting things and I think it was a tad 

So I loosened the bolts around the gate and dropped it into 6th and tightened the bottom bolt the put it into 5th and did the same 

Its spot on now slips into gear lovely 

Massive thanks to @350Butcher and a big thanks to @coldel because I think it was your thred I found 

Oh and martain got to have a good old blast in the charged z which he seemed to enjoy 

Nice one 

I love the adjustable traction 

It works great on mine even with the extra power it just feeds it in smooth

Not particularly that brand as they have had issues of late with the drive plate letting go.

 

However, if you wish to go with Extreme then here you go:

Merry Christmas Nissan.

Ohhh nice I'd love a set of these quick jacks 

They look a great halfway house between an axle stand and a full ramp 

Anyone been following these 

Not a bad little series

Bit far away tho

Evening guys and girls 

I'm looking for either a set of mk2 nismo wheels or somthing aftermarket but quality aftermarket 

I dont see a lot of wheels for sale here but thought it was worth a try incase any nismo owners etc were thinking of changing wheels 

Merry Christmas

@ OP Check the drop links (I've snapped one in the past) if not that it's a bush or 2 that have worn. Its not usually something you can see unless they are hanging out but they have worn out most likley on one of the control arms.

 

 

Not so sure on the 370 depends on age but IMO the ARB on the back end of a 370 is a bit whimpy to start with - upgrade made a huge difference on mine.

Cars just back from having clutch done and I asked him to look at the suspension... he thinks the kinetix bushes in the arms I have are a bit worn...I imagine it's all probly a bit worn as its getting on 10 years old now

For want of a better term I've got what can only really be described as a wobbly rear end on my 350. It drives normally and like it should I believe in most scenarios but I just notice when I hit a bump in the road it's as if the back end of the car jiggles side to side a bit, but not as in loss of traction. More so like there's jelly between either the car and the subframe or potentially some of the other bushes.

 

I've had a quick search and scroll through the tech section etc, but can't seem to see anyone having had a similar issue, but I'm sure it has probably occurred somewhere. Any one have any ideas on which bushes or components to check first save me blindly checking them all if one/some are common offenders?

 

For reference, get no knocks, bangs or creaks etc from any of the suspension, feels smooth and quiet like it should, just not as tight as I'd expect it to be.

 

Thanks in advance

I have the excact same feeling on my 370 

Currently trying to hunt down the issue
