Thanks for the replies

Maybe leave as is and get my console dipped instead as its looking a bit tired

Probably cheaper any way !

Hi everyone

I am thinking about fitting a genuine nissan 350 z sat nav to my 2008 350z as it currently hasnt got one ( well through my phone on the stereo) but i like the look of the genuine ones

A couple of questions

1. What will i need to do this

2. Anyone know where i might get one from

3. Will my car have the wiring for the sat nav if i get one

Any advice will be gratefully accepted

Many thanks

Terry

Hi Adrian

Ive had the front lower arms and top mount fitted but now ive got a really annoying squeak everytime i go over a slight bump - its obviously linked to the suspension and really annoying

Have you come across this before at all ?

Hi Terry,

 

see if this guide helps, all parts in stock, we recommend Moog for the arms and Energy Suspension for the bushes.

Hi Adrian

I am after a quote for lower front suspension arms (right and left)

And a suspension top mount (o/s if applicable)

Nissan are telling me the bush that fits into the sub frame is splitting would this bush already be in the arms or will I need bushes as well (if so price please )

Many thanks

Terry

Hi

Well I was after guidance!!

But I suppose I'm after

2 lower suspension arms (o/s and n/s )

And a front suspension top mount 

Price and make??

Would be great

Car is a 350z 2008

Hi 

Just been to nissan and they tell me I need an off side front lower arm bush into subframe replacing (splitting) and a top mount 

For this they want to charge me the earth -so I thought I would ask for help from all you experienced people instead

1) replace the whole arm or just the bush? And the top mount?

2) replace both sides?

3) any recommendations of where to go to get this work done (leicester area)

4) any particular brand/make to buy 

Any help would be gratefully accepted

Many thanks

Hi Everyone

I have just had my car serviced (2008 HR 350z) and i have had advice that the steering rack is leaking fluid

Nissan want - wait for it - £1617 to replace the steering rack

I am after any help that people on the club can provide regarding the purchase of a refurbed or new steering rack

are there any companies that people would recomend

I am in Hinckley in Leicestershire

Thanks in advance

Terry

Hi Asad

Hi Everyone

I have a 350z 2008 HR and due a spark plug change - what type / make would you recommend ?

Ive looked at different types but they range from £60 to £140 - any help much appreciated

many thanks

Terry

Thank you for your replies

All the tyres will be the same on each axle once fitted - Pirellis on the front / Falkens on the back

And I will check the balance on front passenger tyre - all being fitted tomorrow

then brake pads all round and if its still doing it

I will have to investigate further - as mentioned that is what I thought maybe suspension bushes or Banana arm issues etc

Many thanks

Terry

Hi

After having my 350z (2008) for about 15 months I am now experiencing an unusual handling issue at the front

Every so often it feels like I have a flat tyre on the passenger side front (obviously I check the tyre pressure but its all ok)

I have recently had a puncture on this corner but changed it for a brand new Pirrelli P zero because the repair was not possible

It was that bad that I took it to a garage to check out the car with the front 2 wheels off - they said it was all ok

I have had the 4 wheel laser allignment carried out

I will get the new tyre rebalance

I am changing the other tyre on front drivers side to get a pair (same tread etc) and I am having the brake pads all replaced

because they are due and to see if this stops the issue

Now the dreaded question - IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD POTENTIALLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ?

# banana arm?

I have had a very good 15 months and havent spent anything on the car until now

I love the car but I need to solve this issue for my own peace of mind

any help / advice gratefully accepted

many thanks

Hi Strudul

when I say running costs obviously the 350z cost more in fuel than the tt diesel

but Ive had nothing go wrong with my zed yet - straight through its mot not even an advisory - no bills in 6 months

but if the zed does go wrong im sure they are cheap to repair LOL

cheers

Terry

Hi Strudul

dare I say it - I had a 2008 TT tdi - I part exed it for my 2008 350z a decision I havent regreted - but I suppose its what you want at the time

I had it for a couple of years found it really economical , handled well (quattro) & reliable

in the 2 years I had a Turbo issue (diaphram i think) repaired with an audi kit , New speaker ,air bag sensor apart from that I was quite happy with the car

Not that this helps but I love my zed more but it costs me more to run!

cheers

Terry

Cheers AMT

Yes hoping i bought a good example - D day - MOT friday

Hi flex

yes it probably does have a secret switch - i just havent found it yet

Hi Shezza - thanks for the info - yes the wheels are nice but you know that feeling when you just catch the kirb and are so disappointed in yourself - ive had it once already

but i will look after the car - it is a credit to its previous owner - i will let you know how good after its MOT on friday - there is always something that comes back to bite me on the bum LOL

cheers

Terry

hi

yes it has a double in take and a bonnet bulge

so its a HR then - thats what i thought but thank you for confirming it for me

are their any issues related to the HR version that i should be aware of

cheers

Terry

Hi

I've had my 350z since August and just fact finding to see what info I can find out

My car is a 2008 in ( K51) twilight grey - thanks to the colour post on the club

When reading some posts I've stumbled across people talking about DE or HR

Would I be right in thinking my car is a HR?

and why is it a HR - engine type ?

Many thanks

Terry

Thanks for the info

I will ask the garage to look at it when I mot in January

I have put up with it for long enough

Cheers

Terry

Can they be removed ?? If this is the issue

Or do we need to repair

I would think heat shields are there for a reason

Terry

I've had my 350z 2008 for about 4 months

Love the car and will be keeping it

I have a couple of small issues that I think someone on the forum will be able to answer my questions on - so please help if you can

I have an exhaust rattle at between 1000 and 1500 revs (low revs) at the front of the car

I have a scorpion exhaust fitted

I'm thinking exhaust heat shield vibrating when the engine is under strain - wrong gear etc ???

Or is there a more common fault with the 350z

Many thanks

Terry

Thanks for all your nice welcomes etc everyone

Had the car for about a month now and love it

Got loads of history etc with it and hopefully will be a great buy

Terry
