http://youtu.be/UNK09DEBYkg That's the sound.. It happens when engaging/disengaging the clutch. Sounds like metal on metal. :/

I've got a 2004 manual 350z on 40k miles and got a few noises coming from the gearbox. When the car is idling I get the clutch chatter (the odd quiet clunk) which I've told is normal. When I am in gear but holding off the accelerator there's a sort of whining noise which again I've gathered is normal? Also my gearbox can be loud at times especially into second (sometimes when very cold can be hard to get into second). However I went for a drive out today and after giving her some it all seemed to go a bit down hill. Once getting home I realised there's a new sound appeared.. Happens when I pull off in first and as I hit the bite point and I pull away I get two loud clunks. I know the gearboxes on these can be noisy but it just seems too much. I only got the car (my first zed) in November and just want to make sure it's right! I drive her daily and short journeys aswell if that helps diagnose the issue? I do try let the car warm up every time as I know short journeys aren't good for any car. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the recommendations, may give City Motors a bell! Tempted to take the trip to CS though seeing as people give him so much rep on here!

I know this question has already been asked before.. done my research on the forum and Cougar Store Leicester seems a popular decision however they're 60 miles from me which is a bit too far! Is there anywhere else a bit closer (I'm based near Stourbridge) that you guys can recommend to do just as good a job without getting ripped off either! Thanks in advance!!

Thank you, got some ideas in my head on what I'd like to do!

Got to say, I wasn't originally going to go for the Azure Blue but saw one local and it just blew me away! Thanks everyone!

Cheers guys!

Hi everyone, a few months back I posted here to say I was looking to buy.. and finally here we are!! She's a beauty! Low mileage, GT pack, Rays wheels, excellent condition throughout! To say I'm chuffed is an understatement!! Went and brought her from down south a couple weeks ago but only just had the chance to get some nice pictures seeing as it's been none stop raining! Think I've fell in love! Can't wait to get properly involved with the forum! Hope you guys like her!

I'd say maybe somewhere in the ball park of £6K to £8K odd but that is purely a guess and it will depend obviously on car condition, mileage, spec etc. Don't forget to check on here for Zeds for sale: http://www.350z-uk.c...-zeds-for-sale/ Welcome aboard btw. Seen a few beauties come and go already on the zeds for sale sub-forum, hoping a few more pop up closer towards my time! Thanks mate

hahaha I can vouch for that today, loving the grey skies!

Thanks everyone! Hoping to get a 2004/2005 Grey GT under 65k miles with good history and well looked after! I'm hoping to get a better deal being close to christmas/new year and being the winter! I've got a figure in my head but curious to see what you guys think I'll need to spend?

Thank you everyone! The search begins! I'm not too far from Stourbridge if you know there..?

Thanks! Seen a couple cars which would be perfect but haven't quite got the funds ready yet, so frustrating lol! Just hoping there will be plenty of zeds for sale come November and they don't all go into hiding haha

Hi everyone, would like to introduce myself to everyone on the forum! I'm looking to be buying a 350z around October/November time! Already been looking on the forum and cannot wait to get hold of one myself and become part of the community!
