yup my set cost me a bomb to get over rare as feck to get over here!

Welcome! Yup defo a south wales meet! get arranging guys!

Ahh no its not the brakes on mine as it squeaks when the car isnt moving.

What is the actual size of pipe coming off our cats.. as all aftermarket are usually 2.5inch going in and out at 3. but the guy said he was going to do 2.25 coming from cat

Hi mate! YEah I got it donw, £156 all in and they did a top job tbf, good guys down at Pro speed too, even got a nice green Almera banger as a courtsesy car for the day! haha! I think he just went for the 1 flexi in the end Yeah went down n spoke to him yesterday told me same thing, said he would put a longer flexi on oneside.. I asked if he could just put it at the bottom of why but he said it would be pointless needs to be in the actual Y so that it reduces flex and stops manifolds from cracking or something like that. Got a quote of 500 for full system from cat back. His work looks good so im still deciding Y or full system. Did you notice any rasping or is the sound better? ,

Crazy japs watching too much tokyo drift!

We took a few sets over from Alex stock Steve, while moving everything over to the warehouse I discovered another set. Drop me a PM if anyone is interested So Zmanalex is no longer trading on the forum? Mann I wanted him to help with my bearings lol

No Im trying to identify what the part is and hoping one of the traders can spot it and help me out lol

Ahh thanks, sorry im crap at explaining stuff. Yes the idler with bearing inside.. Where could I get a replacement bearing? Iv tried to google it but came up with random stuff.

Hey man did you get it done in the end? Im in cardiff too.. 156 is good price.. Hmm if thats the case go no flexi so its like the stillen ypipe.

Powersteering? But the one thats making noise has an ams pulley on it, I thought the ams pulley sets replaced crank, alternator and idler pulley its the one at top right with the holes drilled right round it.

Its the one on the right at the top.. which pulley is that? It has a little play but takes a bit of force to make it move back n forth. What is the rusty bit underneath the pulley? is that the bearing?

Im sure zmanalex were doing hks coilovers for around 800...top quality piece of kit.

Hmm iv just read on some forums that I dont need this pulley?! Is this true? I have a vq35de rev up. So instead of replacing I can remove it and get a different belt. Can anyone confirm this?

Ahh so the bearing..is on the pulley? So just replacing the pulley should be fine then yes? Yes I think its the idler pulley its the one on the right handside near the top that is shakey. What do you mean by complete idler? So you replaced more than just the pulley but the bit it attaches to?

bump...

Does it do it when you sit on idle and rev it? Mine squeaks even when warmed up. Also can you rock your pulley back n forth? Just wondering. Cause it is way to loud lol

The thing is even when its warmed up it kicks in every so often... just makes me cringe!

I think it might be the bearings cause im thinking ideally they shouldnt be able to budge but i can click it back and forth by half a mm or so.. But the worrying question is if it is the bearing what caused it? Was it my lightweight pulleys or the belt being a tad to stiff. And where the hell do I find a bearing to replace it with lmao.. Its so embarrasing you can hear me a block away like you would an aftermarket exhaust at full wot!

I had squeaking brakes and ordered a set of new pads.. and the squeak disappeared although my old pads had quite a bit left on them. The mechanic said there was alot of dust gathered and he usually just takes his pads out and and cleans them and takes a wire brush to athe calipers etc.. and it goes away

Hey guys did you find out the problem? Im having same problem very loud squeaking http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/83823-squeakyvery-asbo-squeaky/

Lmao that was probably the only time.. I think the mountains broke her lmao...

It seems im going to have to bear with it for now... My car has yet another problem.. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/83823-squeakyvery-asbo-squeaky/

Is there a level to see how much is in it? And is it just bolt on and plug up job?

Theres always something wrong grr! lol Ok I have a loud squeaking coming from the engine bay.. I have determined this by rolling up the windows and noise cant be heard as much. It squeaks on cold starts... Iv checked the tension on my belts and they appear to be fine if anything slightly tighter than should be but nothing too drastic Iv tried spraying wd40 at different pulleys to get rid of the noise. But it still does it when sitting in neutral and revving, however when in first gear and planted it doesnt make a noise. Noise usually squeaks for about 3-5mins and goes away for rest of the journey. When changing my tires I had the mechanic try and pinpoint where the noise was coming from he thinks its from one of the top two pulleys. These pulleys arent oem they are Ams lightweight pulleys. Also the one at the top near the centre of the engine has a little play in it..could this be the cause of all the noise. The thing is when it squeaks its not just a quiet one.. its louder than anything and is very embarassing. It tends to do it when its raining..I dont know if this is a coincidence or not. However if it is the pulley bearing. Will it be the ams pulley that will need replacing or is it the bit that it attaches to? As im sure when I had them out the box there wasnt any bearing or anything on the pulley, it was just a solid piece of metal with no moving parts. Please help me someone.. im at the end of my patience with this car... I cant seem to remember a time it has run perfect lol
