vicktor_the_ predictor Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi Everyone, New member to the 350z community. Ive had my Zed for almost a year and bought it cheapy cheap knowing its been in a bang. Have spent the last year doing as much bits and pieces as possible (money depending!!), its finally at the stage where i'm driving it at the weekends (ive got a van for the week) but still got OMG sooo much left to do on it.

vicktor_the_ predictor Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Right, Heres a few photos for you guys.. So ive started by taking the overly cooked on wrap off which has taken months! Rebuilt the brakes, re-installed the removed radiator reservoir, replaced inner tie rods, replaced grommits removed from engine bay for some diy wiring, replaced BCM due to water damage due to grommits being removed, replaced AC belt which was removed, checked remaining wiring and finally replaced alloys and tyres as i went through a cavernous pot hole which cracked 2 rims!! Next on the list is lower control arms and adjustable camber arms for the front as theres still some clunking and clinking over bumpy roads.

Oggieteepo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Welcome along, for the clinking (lf on the rear) check the splines on the axle/hubs too, get some decent grease on there as that's common.. There is a guide on here somewhere but it's simple I belive it just involved taking the split pin out, count the rotations to loosen - but don't remove the hub nut - just enough to pull it away, then apply your *suitable* grease using a small paint brush, then reverse to re-fit. It stopped some chingling noises/clunks at low speed for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konflict89 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I can't even imagine how painful its been removing the wrap getting there though mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've come off about 5 years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
