Markyjd Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hi all, Just got a Black 350z 06 plate, bought it as a repaired cat D for o/s wing and bumper damage, looks to be well repaired. 43k on the clock. It replaces my written off Porker 911 that I was cut out of a few months back! Loving it so far although there is a clunking coming front the front end when I go over bumps! I know they have fairly stiff suspension but the noise doesn't sit right with me. any ideas? Quote
nels0n Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Welcome mate, glad you're all ok from the 911! Could be something like drop links on the noise thing! Edited February 23, 2015 by nels0n Quote
MCook Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hello and ! The clunking noise could be either drop links or compression rod/banana arm bushings Quote
WhackyWill Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Welcome to The Land of Zed.. (Try not to wrap this one..!!!! :scare: ) Quote
gsexr Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 How do you think it compares with the 911 ? Which 911 did you have ? (always wanted a 911 ) Quote
Markyjd Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Hi, I had the Carrera 2 (widow maker). Cant work out how to put a pic up in this reply or would show you post accident. I did love it can't deny it was an awesome car. Not as controllable on the back end as the Z. It felt more aggressive in it's acceleration. 6k spent on 2 services! owning costs were just stupid, something definitely to take into consideration if you got 1. 1 Quote
gsexr Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 so thats a 996 jobby then ? Any cracked liners or ims bearing problems ? Quote
Markyjd Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 No problems all was good. Only problems I had with her was new clutch - general wear and tear and the air flow meter went and the replacement was faulty. 1 Quote
Steel Lynx Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Welcome to the forum Markyjd Just as well it's 20mph speed limit around most of Brighton Quote
AMT Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Is the noise at low speeds usually? More than likely your bushes are done, unless further damage to it. Quote
GMballistic Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Welcome aboard. The clunking noise you describe I'd say my money would be on it being the banana arm bushes (common problem). Any decent independent garage should be able to spot the problem easily enough. Something like this will solve the issue if it is that: http://www.h-dev.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=25451 Quote
Markyjd Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Yeah its at low speed. Thanks all for your help. The A23 isnt 20mph though lol Quote
Markyjd Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks all seems like a good friendly owners club Quote
Jonnymonno Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hello and welcome Your servicing costs should be a lot less now Quote
Markyjd Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks all for the friendly welcome. p.s. the Z sounds better than the Porsche Quote
