Good Evening All, Wondered if anyone had any spare space in a workshop or garage somewhere in the South East? Have a bit of work to do on my 350Z but having a gravel driveway with a trolley jack and these cold temperatures making it a bit of a pain. Could man up and get on with it I guess. Just wondered if anyone had space in exchange for good coffee and biscuits or beer tokens?

Ah thanks. Trying them now.

Good Evening, Looking for a fuel damper for a 350z 2004. Anyone know where I can get a new one? See they are a bit pricey. Thank You. Mike

Might be the fuel damper. I had this with mine. Just trying to locate one and get it fitted.

Thanks JP. Already done. Hope they can help.

So after a quick trip to Abbey Motorsport and some sound advice from Mark. (What an awesome place) I need a new fuel damper to stock the ticking knocking noise. Does anyone know where to get one? Is Nissan the best bet? Also is it an easy install? Do I just pull the pipes off the existing damper and replace? Looks like a clip on one end and the other end sheathed. Does it just pull off?

The ticking is rhythmic with the engine which its a bit worrying. More of a tappy noise really. Going to Abbey Monday to see if they can work it out for me hopefully :-s

Just a thought after researching. Could it be that my heater core of the cooling system needs a back flush? Something to do with a valve flapping causing the noise and some black silicon jamming it up or something???

Ok will try to get a vid up. Doesn't happen at standstill so much. Engine has to be under load.

Any other thoughts chaps?

Thanks for the swift replies everyone. No low oil light came on. The oil was on the low mark. Topped up with just under a litre. I will see if I can feel the fuel pressure regulator ticking tomorrow and let you know. Couldn't be the timing chain or anything could it? Any Zed owners Essex way if with a bit of knowledge I dont mind meeting up to see if you can hear it and help.

Good Afternoon. Just wondered if anyone has heard of this. I have a taking noise on acceleration, could almost sound like tappets coming from the plenum area. Nearly through 2000-3000 rpm. I checked the oil and topped it up as it was on the low mark. The ticking is still there. Also notice it again through 5000rpm then goes away. Thought it maybe something to do with a chain guide or something when the oil is low but I topped it up and it's still doing it. Could it be the fuel pressure regulator? Any thoughts please it's driving me mad.

No worries just found the sticky, looks quite involved.

What's involved in fitting the kenwood to the standard Bose unit? Is it difficult?

Woah....awesome. One day...

I have had an Impreza. Great car but just didn't feel like it would be up to much on a track unless I spent a fortune on handling mods. Bigger turbos, bigger brakes etc etc. The Z from standard feels like to was designed for the track. The way it handles and sits. The Impreza feels like a bit of a compromise for the road unless it was a special edition one. P1, WR1 or RB320? Which model are you looking at?

Wow, this is quite awesome. The noise as the turbo comes onto boost after the supercharge whine is just mad. Never seen a setup with a turbo at the rear guess he ran out of space. Must have cost a fortune.

I have a spare Z if you want it since putting black badges on mine.

Me too. Loving those wheels. Stillen splitter an easy fit? Look good too.

Ah sorry Will. Yes that's the one. Hoping to get a trade pass as it's the only day I can go :-(

Hello All, Anybody going to the performance car show on the 8th at the NEC? Think it's traders only but trying to get a pass....

Thank you Ballistic. Let me get on it and see what I can find.

It should hold pretty well. Maybe the salt air has got to it from shoreham beach? Hope you get on ok.

No luck yet. Nobody has one :-(

Ah thanks Ballistic. I will do that. Perfect.
