My mechanic said the same,I was hoping that wouldnt be the case...but it has to be done, who does the arms at best price?

Thanks for replies, i was thinking ball joints...anyone know how much these are? How hard to fit? I want to fit a suspension kit soon but want everything right first...

Hi guys, I have replaced control arm bushes, arb mounts and droplinks with whiteline parts, but am still getting a rattle from front drivers side when going over bumps? Any ideas what to look at next? Help appreciated, thanks..

I got w brace, whiteline control arm bush kit, droplinks and superpro arb mounts from clarks, an absolute pleasure to deal with, Ewen was very helpful telling me exactly what i needed, all fitted now and what a difference....highly recomended!!!

Thats good to hear and i take it they come with some sort of warranty? Once i get my suspension sorted i'll get in touch... Thanks for all the advice.

I just had a wee look on net about the varrstoens....yikes!!! Not good reports, quality issues and bad finishing and wheels cracking??, Is it true these are a fake replica of bbs rims?

Aaargghh the red one looks amazing too!!! This is gonna hurt my wallet! Tyre sizes on those??

Thanks for the replies guys,so is it the jr's that arent for zeds or the es1's?? Love the look on that black zed!!! Good job santa's coming lol! If thats the only mod needed... In the future i want to put coilovers on it but getting polybushed first... How much for the used set/condition??

Hi, thinking about new wheels instead of refurb on my 18"tourings, The es1 varrstoen 19" 9.5 fr 10.5 rr look great, does anyone have these? Will they fit with no mods? And what tyres would you run on them? Car is on standard suspension at mo'

Thanks mate, hopefully that will sort the noises out...are they hard to do?

Ewen, can you send me some prices for w brace, superpro control arm bushes, drop links please?

Car came back from service with a to do list....so need prices for control arm bushes, new w brace for underneath, broken!! And a droplink....anyone recommend where to get at good prices? Also need an exhaust at some point in near future too...thinking about a cobra!

Thanks for reply, car started fine this morning at 1500 revs then dropped to 800 but i think its a bit off par, or maybe thats just panic setting in😟 Got a number for an independant nissan specialist nearby, so will take it on Monday, needs an oil/filter change anyway...fingers crossed he can sort it out!

I started my car at work tonight and it burst into life and went straight to 1.5k revs and stayed there all the way home...30mile trip and stayed at 1.5k the whole way....car drove ok but every time i stopped at junction, back to 1500 revs??? First time its ever done this...any ideas???

Thats exactly what i was worried about ! forget them then and start looking again.

Thanks for the advice guys, yeah thats them on ebay, I dont want to buy cheap tat for it so maybe just hang back and do a bit more research .

Also what size tyres would be suitable on those wheels? excuse my ignorance on this i am a newbie after all!!

Hi, I have owned zed for a few weeks now and am thinking about changing the wheels, I came across a set on ebay from a dealer, cruise 190 multi spoke deep dish 18x 8.5 front 18x9.5 rear but they say i need a 20mm hub kit to clear brembo brakes! My question is By going an inch wider all round and then adding spacers will that push alloys out too far? also what offset would i need? undecided on style of alloys to suit the car these just caught my eye! also thinking about a mines style carbon front lip, and a nismo style rear spoiler! anyone any pics of a gunmetal with said mods??

Cheers Will, i just found a post explaining my problem pretty much to a T, so I,ll get it in to my mechanic and have him change gearbox oil and some molyslip maybe clutch fluid too!!

Hi, I bought my car last week 05 350z gt with 34500 miles, when i got it clutch was ok a bit snatchy on take off but i thought i just needed to get used to it, i was out a couple of nights ago having a bit of fun and did a couple of fast starts from lights! now the clutch is making a noise when i push pedal down there is a slight noise and when i lift off same??? I was driving in traffic yesterday and its hard work starting and stopping and going from 1st to 2nd is a little snatchy rest of the gears are fine once i get going,not sure if they are all like that or it has a problem any ideas??? ( bought from independent dealer with 3 mths warranty engine and gearbox)

Thanks i havent really had time to look around site yet, i shall get reading over wkd, im away to halfords for the 3 for 2 offer lol

I was dubious about joining these forums but looks like i came to the right place! I now have some questions, whats the best oil for car? best place to buy parts? bose cd skipping any fixes for this? unleaded or super unleaded? wheels and tyre sizes and choices if i fancy changing them? I am going to clay polish and wax car over wkd if its dry to try and remove some small scratches any advice on that too please!

brilliant thanks I only picked it up yesterday so still finding things and the best thing it does is make me smile lol.

thanks for the link, and gunmetal def the best colour (dont want to start anything lol)

Thanks for the welcome! Im new to this caper so it might take me a while to figure out how to use site but i,ll keep tryin, yeah i struck lucky getting the car, my last car let me down so went and traded it in for a peugot diesel and hated it! so two weeks later seen the zed online went to view it and here we are, Fuel consumption is a little bit concerning but i,ll get used to it, Car is 2005 with gt pack and only 34k miles fsh i couldnt believe my luck!! Are there any issues i should watch out for?
