New rims fitted tommorow!! (Pictures now uploaded)
Mikey Thompson replied to nowhereboy's topic in 350Z General
Very nice! Exact setup I'm going for, getting the springs this weekend -
I've got this, most noticeable when using the clutch for reversing. Pauses for a bit then flicks out. Let me know if this solves your problem! Exactly. I was told this is common issue which can be sorted out by using braided clutch line and dismounting clutch slave cylinder and cleaning it or refurbishing it with new rubber rings. Did this fix the problem mate? So. I have replaced stock rubber line with braided and dismounted slave cylinder and cleaned it. Since it was Friday I put all back as I didn't have time to fabricate inner washers or seals or how do you call it. Definitely after cleaning and line pedal is much better and not "sticky" any more but to be 100% I need rubber parts Appreciate the info mate! I'll get a HEL line ordered from the group buy on here. Think the fresh bleed will help it too Sure it will be better. Plus I have found rebuild kit for slave cylinder and will go with that rather then with new rubber seals since the last coil od spring has been torn apart on mine Just had a quick look online and for the cost of a slave cylinder I think I might just replace it

Reg plate is VVM ** In the car park in the office next door to mine. Lovely looking car, had everyone in the office throughout the day mention it to me hahaa, you might have seen mine outside the front?

Aaahhh! Finally put my mind at rest, now my OCD wants the blank one in the middle...
-
What is the blank button for next to the heated seats button (Pre-facelift, GT Model)? Is this used for Sat-Nav or something?
-
Love the back bumper, any chance of a picture further back with the full car? See how it sits with that rear diffuser

Cheers mate! Yeah I was at the last meet at Falcon, great bunch of lads! -
It was me indeed! Everyone else tries to get it sideways so why not do it properly with a proper car ey

Top guys near me were charging less than half that for front bumper smooth and front end respray of bonnet, bumper and wings. They do a really top job, no back street garage. They have an original E-Type Superlight and Shelby Cobra in there so can't imagine they do half a job. Top reviews from everyone I've spoken to as well.

Mine seems to come from the gearstick, not sure though
-
+1 I think I'd cry if I discovered that to be the location of my local bodyshop. Although £3.5k does seem rather cheap for a full respray does it not? Pay peanuts you get monkeys....or maybe I am the monkey that has been ripped off in the past I'd have thought 3.5k was about right, if not then a bit expensive. Or is my sarcasm detector broken?...

Welcome! Mine does this! Will be following this thread to see if anyone can fix it, usually happens at high revs going from first to second gear. Also for progress blogs/Member Build Projects go into the 350z part of the forum, go onto modifications, there's a section called Member Build Projects

Finally got back to me! Sounds to me like a genuine car garage going off what they've been told by previous owner. Although the car got slated, the guys selling it seem genuine. They've even doubted the BHP now and are getting a print out of their own. "hi mike thanks for your question we have just ended the listing due to some question marks around cars back ground we have got the car booked for a dyno test next week to get a proof of the bhp we did have a dyno from the previius owner handed to us showing 395.6 bhp but we are going ahead to get one done for our self to answer few questions asked off us. we took the car as a px towards my evo so dont have to much history but have got folder full of invoices with car and was advised it has been a club owners car so will be checking this info with hopefully some one from the nissan 350z owners club who can shad some light on this in reff to the car it self its drives spot on and handles the road pretty well i can confirm the car was painted full as we done that and have had my mechanic confirm that the engine on the car is from the grand turisom 4 and it has had alot of work done to it but we are gona get some answers from the club where this car has been built up and after that it will be relisted for sale hope that answers your question and once we reciece the answer we will relist it cheers but as for now we are gona contact the 350z owners clubs to get some info cheers" His Evo: Really do hope he got plenty of money as well as the PX because the Evo is stunning!
