Champion, thank you!

Dragging up this old thread from the depths (sorry folks). I've just had to change the alternator belt after fitting one around a year ago, due to horrendous amounts of slack, noise, squeaking etc. I hadn't realised my Z had a pulley delete. Question is now... What belt do I fit? A brand new standard belt causes the tensioner pulley to max out.

Can a kind mod please move this thread into the ICE & elec section for 350z? I doubt it will make any difference but I've only just realised this is in the wrong group.

So I recently sorted myself out an upgraded head unit, which i'm pretty happy with (Kenwood DDX4017BT). I'm having a bit of bother sorting out the audio settings within the unit. There is the option to set up the crossover frequencies for each speaker set, so front+tweeter, rear and sub. Does anyone know what they should be? I've found plenty of info online regarding the theory of crossover frequencies, but I'm none the wiser. It does sound 'acceptable', but it's not quite there. So if anyone knows what the the frequency response is for the Bose speakers it would be appreciated. I'm going to pop the sub-woofer out this afternoon in the hopes it's written on the back. Edit: yeah there's bugger all on the back, suppose it was worth a look!

Yeah that's exactly what I did, I've taken an image of the edge in question, I don't know if you can see it? The tread blocks are definitely sharper on the front edge than the rear, even in comparison to the inside of the tyre.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just taken a look, the nearside front tyre seems to be wearing more on the outer edge, though not excessively. Is that most likely to be alignment or camber etc?

Thanks chap, will do. Do you have any wheel bearings if it turns out I have in issue?

Evening folks, just after some advice. My 07 zed has done a little over 86k miles. In the last month or so, I've noticed a noise which seems to be coming from the rear of the car. It becomes apparent from about 40mph in 3rd gear, it's a low hum that gets louder as the speed increases. I've been changing all fluids as I go, and at the weekend I changed the oil in the diff. I was hoping this might either quiet, or get rid of the noise entirely, but no luck. The oil that came out was darker, but clean and no shiny bits, so I'm unsure if the noise is coming from the diff. I'm more familiar with wheel bearing noises, and I'm not getting any change in noise when turning. Any ideas? No noticeable noise under 35mph, is it likely to be a bearing or something inside the diff making the noise? Is there a chance I'm completely off base and it's the gearbox?

Well that's welcome news, I should only get a dusting of nuclear fallout, being just outside of Cambridge! Luckily my brother has recently moved into his house in Ayr so I have a north hideout should the worst happen. Any excuse to buy an axe is a good excuse

I used to love watching boxing as a kid with my old man, though my memory is a bit poor. I do remember watching Prince Naseem, definitely remember some Lewis fights and Benn fights, but never really had an all out favourite, I was just happy to watch the boxing! These days its about AJ, I'm super interested to see how he comes up against Klitschko. Can't wait for that fight at the end of April, that should be immense.

Spotted a tidy red Zed on Monday eve on Hills rd by the cinema, couldn't really show my appreciation as I was stuck in the back of a mates car on the way to see Feeder at the Junction! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Yeah but Aaron Kaufman handed in his notice, another program losing a brilliant mechanic

Yeah the shows they were doing in the US were at this point already. Such a shame, I don't think there's much left to watch on Discovery now if you don't have an affinity for Alaska....

I'd completely gone off Wheeler Dealers on the last season, pile of american style sh*t. They wanted to make EC grumpy when he's a perfectly amicable person, and it was more about doing silly tasks at the end of the build rather than the build itself. It was quite something to see Brewer shouting at folks on Facebook and Twitter when the fans pretty much started to universally pan the new format, but they had taken something good and sh*t on it from a great height, which p*sses off those who have watched the show for years. Really interested to see what Mr China gets up to now he's free of the shackles of MB and Velocity.

The best over engineering on YouTube, this lot are bloody brilliant, I've signed up for their patreon to get new vids a whole day early, worth it! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
