  1. Basically I've had the 350z two weeks and I've replaced the bushes and had my wheels tracked so finally wanted to push her a little.

     

    Went into first (was up to temp) and gave it some. It moved off the line slowly with lots of noise and the revs went round the clock. Wouldn't engage any gears until 5th at about 2k. Then drove. After that I haven't pushed it again and the car is driving fine. Any idea??? Is the slave expensive to fix/replace if that's it? Or gearbox?

     

    I have bought a new clutch and flywheel (car has done 77k) getting that fitted Thursday.

     

    Thanks in advance guys and before you shout, I didn't know what to search.

     

  2. Get yourself over to see Mitz@Cougarstore at Leicester. He's a well know trader on here and can supply and fit the super pro bushes, that's where I had mine fitted a couple of years ago.

    Or if a complete arm is needed or you just want Oem bushes.

    Hi, just bought the SuperPro parts online, should get them next week. I'll check him out for fitting though! Thank you all for your help...going to be a long learning curve with this car and expensive but I love it. Much appreciated!

  3. There are lots of traders here that can supply everything you could need, so have a look - definitely use the search.

    But we ideally need to know specifically what part is knackered.

     

    If it's a bushing, I'd recommend getting a pair of up-rated parts (SuperPro) if its the banana arm (compression arm) bushing as this will give much nicer steering without ruining anything.

    Technically, yes if you have the tools at home you can do this but I'm guessing you don't.

    Have a look, see if you can get a photo or two from underneath the car:

    Also, since you just bought the car - ensure you fill her up with 97Ron (Vpower etc) ;)

     

     

    That second link photo is exactly the issue! Where did he get those upgreaded parts and what are they callled?

     

    I dont have the tools so will have to get it done at a garage. Thanks for your help!

  4. Hi all,

     

    I have just bought this car and I have all four wheels that need tracking and the drivers side front bush is gone (so metal touching metal).

     

    Im new to Nissans and performance cars. Any idea if I can replace the part myself (if so, how much and where from?) and I was quoted £80 to have all four wheels tracked. I just spent 6.5k on this car so money is very tight.

     

    Thanks!
