And the reason is .......It is not a wet clutch, so you are very limited to the amount of launch controls without blowing your tranny.

I drove a Porsche 911 ((997) with the new PDK tranny last week and did over 8 launch controls on the spin and it was absolutely awesome, no silly disclaimers with them and wet clutch to boot.

Yeah only there in 1st/2nd that I can hear. The noise is worse when the car is cold. Clutch/Transmission I was thinking.

If it doesnt clonk its a like vibrating noise. If you are very smooth when pressing the clutch (Taking 2 seconds to slowly press it the noise cant be heard). Jumping on the clutch and just releasing foot off the Gas in 1st/2nd gives off a loud clunk.

Starting to annoy me now as i only had the drive shafts re greased because of clicking from the rear 3 weeks ago.

Drive Shaft Loose or Knackered Drive Shaft Joint ???????

Yip, as Stew said in previous post "tyre size issue"

Profile should be 45 and not 30.

If it is overheating whilst you are driving on open roads with no stop

/starts, then it will not be the fans.

The initial things to check are the common air lock issues, thermostat and choked radiator.

Have you checked that a poly bag or something has not got lodged in the front of the grill or radiator restricting the air flow, it has been known.

If it turns out to be the radiator or thermostat then I have preowned ones that I can get to you next day.

I also have a complete set of fans and cowling but I do not think that you will require these.

Good luck.

Alex.

If the noise is definately only there in 1st or 2nd gear then I would be looking at the tranny.

Absolutely superb Martin :yahoo:

A cracking set of upgrades mate

got them and all fitted. Cheers...

 

Out of curiosity, why are they two different lengths?

Depends who the manufacturer is, I have a choice of 4 lengths here

The ones that I sent you are the longest and Nissan OEM.

Will be popping across to ESR tomorrow morning (Saturday) if anyone is around. May be able to peruade Andrew to make a coffee while the poorly zed is being attended to.

 

Weather looks nice

 

 

Give him a big prod for me.

 

Still waiting on my bonnet lifters

 

Already been told off by Andrew on your behalf, packed them this evening, off first thing on monday.

Been one of those weeks when everything has taken ten times longer than it should.

 

I know that your mind has been on other things this week, God knows what you are going to be like next week.

Oh Dear!!!! a week is a long time when you are waiting on Santa

TI............................265 gms

hopefull will reach at least another 20 with a new exhaust and exhaust manifold

Sorry but unfortunately you wont.

Cool. How much do you want for them?

Not Much pm sent.

Pic as requested.

 

 

I'm after a set of the longer ones.

 

That is what I am offering you

Guys, I'm not using any spacers.

 

I picked up a set of standard 18" wheels a while back, they came with 20No. wheel nuts, of which half are about 3/4" long and the other half are about 1 1/2" long. I'd like to use same nuts all round and as the longer ones are easier to handle I'm looking to replace all the short nut with the longer ones.

 

 

If you can put a pic up of the ones you want to match we may have some in the workshop.

Failing what Phil has to offer, I have a spare set of standard chrome nuts with 4 locking nuts and socket or just 20 nuts without the locking set, or 10 standard nuts to complete your set.

Are you still with me

Hi,

 

Really need help here!

 

Have just got the Z back and gear selecton although slightly better is still crap going from 5th to 6th... The gear stick slides to far right when moving from 5th the 6th and i have to move slightly left to get it down into 6th which leads me further to believe that this part i've found is supposed to prevent going from 5th straight into reverse as mentioned by 3FIDDYZ.

 

Does anyone have a microfiche of this area so i can get this sorted as Nissan are really starting to P** me off. I want my Z back to its normal glory.

 

I'd really appreciate some more feedback if possible please?

 

Thanks

Russ

No point in beating yourself up over this.

Take it back to the Dealers and tell them in no uncertain terms to get it sorted.

Probably just a noisy clutch, nothing to worry about.

They weigh 10 kg...........

The Zed engine is only good for 400 U.K bhp at the fly.

But remember that it is the torque that will do the most potential damage.

Thanks... The piece in the picture is aluminium though. i'll try upload a side profile.

 

Does that ring any bells as to what it could be.? going to nissan shortly to leave the car in so would appreciate any quick replies.

 

Thanks

Russ

Inside the OEM shift knob you will find the rubber seal that I refer to.

If you dig that out you will find iether a small metal bush or two metal spring washers

Hope this helps.
