Is that for the rear two? I assume the fronts aren't needed as they will be accessible?

How much are the adjusters Jerrick?

Likewise. I'm up for it if you can do us a good deal Jerrick :-)

Thanks Jerrick! Very insightful. Pretty sold on Meister-R coilies, fingers crossed on the group buy

I'm interested.

Thanks for the responses everyone, been quite busy lately!

You have answered your own question about the disc issue and and I agree with Commander about replacements ^^^

 

As for the rubbing, those 'tram lines' disappear under the tyre crud you have left which suggests to me they are something you have picked up on the road surface somewhere, beside which they are well clear of the bolt (seeing your test pic) that you think might be responsible.

 

But have you checked nothing is caught between the rear of the disc and the brake shield, like a stone or twig - that has often been responsible for rubbing noises You should know by spinning the wheels when the car is jacked up.

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!

Is it sad that I can recognise that track from the sheds in the first pic alone?

 

Anglesey

And no! Awesome track 😊
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 😀

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

I'm not incredibly proficient in any one language but thankfully have a decent knowledge of most common langurs (C, Python, Java, HTML, PHP, SQL, etc)

 

If anyone has an idea for a collab project please suggest it here! Could be a web/desktop application that has some useful features for forum members or it could even be a competition of sorts! I guess the mindset for any project would have to be "how can we do this our own way" rather than "how do we do something that hasn't been done before"

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

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
