veef13 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Getting used to my new Z, and really enjoying the experience Wondering if there was anyone in the Southampton area that would be free to have a look and listen at car to check all is ok please? Gearbox is pretty loud, but I understand this is common... and prob just me being over sensitive after my last cars quietness Would like an experienced 2nd opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codders Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I live in Chandlers Ford but haven't had my car long either. Couldn't really tell you if anything is wrong or not. However, if you meet with someone, I may pop along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 They are a very clunky gearbox, lots of notchy noises etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm in the same position as codders in that I've only had the zed a few months (Portswood area), but I'd also be happy to meet up - away this weekend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veef13 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Soundslike my old 200sx one when it had a shortshift hehe Has the old switch off, clutch engaged rattle, but thats fine as more likely to be release bearing or DMF, not to fussed about that for now. When driving not really hearing much definition to the engine noise, just mechanical noise... maybe i'm just used to the v8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When driving not really hearing much definition to the engine noise, just mechanical noise... maybe i'm just used to the v8 +1 on the release bearing, 370 is the same, gearbox is notchy when cold, fresh oil and molyslip helps Gearbox is not noisy generally though if the car sounds mechanical you need a better exhaust Edited October 10, 2014 by GIXXERUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeezeebaba Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Basingstoke here, I would be up for a meet but only mid November as my compression arm needs changing and the ball joint is banging more than a two bit whore at the moment . It's going in on the 7th to be sorted.With previous car clubs the fave meeting points were the services on the M27 or Winnal Tesco just off the M3 at Winchester, just an idea.
