    Never seen one as far gone as that mate. :scare:

     

    Bushings are in stock and good to go same/next day.

     

    Just drop me a PM if I can help further.

     

    Alex.

    Well I was hoping to find an obvious fault for the knocking so I'm glad it was that obvious.

     

    Just wondering if there are any upgrades worth considering?

    Does the whole arm need to come off?

    Worth doing the other bush and outer bearing?

  2. Hi guys. 

     

    Probably know the answer to this but thought I'd check.

     

    Getting a knock fom under the car, seems to be more when cornering.

    Found the inner control arm bushes to be looking a bit of a state. Would you all agree?

    And just out if interest,  I'm assuming that arm should sit centrally not off to one side as it is?

    Any upgrade worth looking at? White line etc?

  3. Hi Guys

     

    Had this laying about for ages and wondering if it would be worth anything to anyone?  It was taken from a 2004 350z, I think it was the original sat nav mount, with the auto fully retractable non electrical door?

     

    Any info would be great.

  4. Hi Guys, got a starting problem I want to pick your brains on. 

     

    Car is not starting, car was sluggish to turn over and old battery was low so brand new battery installed.

    Car started fine first time,  took it for a drive and then it hasn't wanted to turn over since (I did think I could smell a slight electrical smell on the drive last night but I can't confirm this)

     

    All electrics currently work. 

    Fuel pump primes.

    Ignition clicks. 

    Engine does not turn. 

     

    Possibly thinking a dead starter motor?

     

    I have tried swapping relays, reseating connections and giving the starter a good whack.

    No faults showing and the pedal dance.

    Strange one:

     

    Not a big job to remove the gear stick for an inspection, but you will have to get under the car to remove the one bolt that connects the stick to the gearbox shifter rod. The rest of the stuff is accessed from inside the car.

    There is a large coil spring in there which provides the resistance when pressing the stick down.

    Remember and adjust the top shifter plate correctly on reassembly otherwise you will have selection issues.

    Cheers Alex

     

    Seems strange to me too, just wondering if there is some crap in there or if the spring has seen better days. 

     

    I sort of remember something about putting it into 5th or 6th to align the plate before bolting it back up?

  6. Hi all. 

     

    I have noticed recently that pushing down on the gear stick to get it into reverse has been getting stiffer. 

    Today there is barely any movement in it what so ever. Like to the point of feeling like nothing,  I've tried lightly pulling it up to see if it is stuck down but it doesn't seem to move. 

    I can still get it into reverse but have also had it go into reverse without pressing down (Into reverse,  straight out and almost immediate shifted back into reverse).

     

    Any ideas?

  7. Hi guys.

     

    i know things like this are very hard to diagnose over the web but thought I’d try.

    i have a very tinny (almost heatshield like) rattle at times (75%) when the car is in gear and under load at low revs etc. Don’t think it is there under higher revs but she is hardly quiet so it’s hard to tell.

     

    i have heard it very lightly, much quieter, on the very rare occasion when in neutral.

    clutch does not seem to slip.

    gears engage fine, reverse a bit crunchy at times.

    cat heat shields removed

    rear exhasut/boot heat shield removed.

    cant seem to replicate it with hammering or shaking parts etc.

     

    Like I said,I know it’s a difficult one but any ideas or help would be welcomed.

     

    thanks
