Thanks for the responses everyone, been quite busy lately! They are decent discs with hardly any wear. Think I'd rather get them skimmed if that's the issue. (I can actually see pad deposits on the discs!) The rubbing doesn't happen on the road, it's only at the track. I think I noticed once when coming off a roundabout quick, but otherwise you can't hear it. It's definitely not anything between the disc and shield, it sounds and feels like the tyre rubbing on something when going round some corners at the track. The lines on the tyres are exactly the same on both sides so I don't think it's something from the road as they are too uniform. Any other thoughts? Cheers, Adrian

So, front disc is out by: 0.062mm which I believe is out of range? So sounds like it's a "warped disc". Looking at getting them skimmed - sound sensible? Here's the bolt I was talking about. Apologies for the dirty tyres - I've cleaned the section where the bolt appears to be rubbing:

Kw's are over 2k with VAT on DT!

You think warped discs are unlikely? Yeah not to worry. Never leave the handbrake on! Car always gets a cool down lap and left to cool for a while!

And no! Awesome track í ½í¸

Thanks guys I'll look in to that. Don't think it's the brake fluid boiling as it's fairly new motul fluid, and I've had fluid boil before which isn't a pleasant experience! Will look at getting a dial for the discs. Thanks again!

Thanks guys. Sounds like coilovers and anti rollbars are the way to go. Are the MeisterR coilies a harsh ride?

Excellent. Will look in to that, thanks! I've had eibach springs before and found them sporty yet comfortable. With 70k on the clock do you think it's worth changing the shockers too whilst I have everything off?

Front tyres are 235/35/19 I think. Not sure on bolt clearance without measuring. I can see the marks on both front tyres.

Thanks for the reply! What will the issue be? Can they be repaired? Pretty certain it's standard, I think its just the angle of the pictures plus the size of the wheels í ½í¸€

A few pictures for your troubles

Front and rear? Does the 350Z not have one fitted as standard? ( I assume not!)

It currently handles excellently, but it's all standard and I must tinker... so what would you recommend? :-) Not necessarily talking springs/shocks/coilovers, but what is good bang for buck? Open to suggestions. It certainly feels like it could be stiffened up. I don't want too much of a harsh ride either. Something that's usable on the road but noticeably better on the track. Cheers, Adrian

Hi all, Couple of queries after a recent track day! When the brakes have heated up, they tend to judder as my laps go on. If I let the car cool down then return to the track they're OK again... any ideas? Second one is on some corners there was a distinct rubbing noise. The only thing I can spot is in the center of the front tyres there's a line which looks like the tyre is possibly touching the bolt that hangs down from the arm that is just above the wheel. Could it be this or a red herring? If it is this then what is a work around? On original suspension but 19" wheels... Cheers, Adrian

Collab would make sense for something productive - though a competition may be fun

I am :-). Much in the same boat as Will though, I got promoted recently thus finding less time to code at work. Still have little projects I work on at home though. I'd be up for some collab - what do you have in mind? My background is mainly C#/.NET (Websites, backend and desktop apps (WPF/Windows Store Apps(Phone & Desktop)). However I do some front end stuff too (HTML/CSS/JS/Angular/Knockout). Cheers, Adrian

Thanks guys. I'll look in to getting this sorted then - the other side looks perfect, oddly.. I'm wondering if it's already been repaired on that side at some point.

Anyone on here fancy it? Off with a few mates for a few hours on August 5th: http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackday/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=1099itemid&vmcchk=1&Itemid=1 Current attendees: http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackday/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=1067 Just for the evening so not too pricey

Hey, I'm looking for some alloys (ideally 18's) with some good tyres on them, for use on a track day. Anyone selling a set? Cheers, Adrian

Hey guys, I have a little bit coming through on the lip, and a couple of bubbles. Is this worth fixing now or waiting until it gets worse? It's barely noticeable so I'm not bothered right now - but is it going to cost me down the line when it gets ugly if I don't sort it now? Some pics below. Cheers, Adrian

I wouldn't worry mate... who cares what other people think. It's your car!

Saw one driving behind me last night for a short period in Castleford. Anyone on here?

Hey guys, I'm fitting my Parrot Asteroid Smart to the 350Z (BOSE). Was chatting to the guys at Dynamic Sounds and I got the following: http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/autoleads-pc2-76-4-nissan-almera-navara-micra-murano-wiring-harness-adaptor.html http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/connects2-ct24ns19-nissan-350z-2003-2005-double-din-stereo-fascia-panel-adaptor.html?search=350z The first problem was that I wasn't getting any sound... I figured out that the pink/red wire on the OEM harness needs a switched connection to turn the amp on. HOWEVER, I am now getting lots of white noise even with the sound muted, and the volume is really loud even on the lowest setting. What's going on? Thanks, Adrian

Not that I'm any expert in TVR's.. but are you sure? the little bump/lip at the bottom of the bodywork matches the Chimaera but not the Griffith? Unless I'm missing something.. Chimaera: Griffith: Different alloys too.
