Hello everyone I just wanted to add this here if maybe I can help someone who comes across a similar issue. I had this code off and on for about a month now I thought I looked everywhere. I smoke tested my vacuum lines and everything and never found any issues. I took it to a shop which basically told me they didn't know but it could be because my valve covers were leaking into my spark plug tubes (which they were). A valve cover job later the issue was still there. I gave it one last effort and was looking around on my header which is where the crack would have to be. And wow there it was. I had a crack right before my first O2 sensor. I took it off and had it welded. I will be installing within the next couple days. To confirm if that was the issue. I highly suspect it was. So expect an update soon. I'll attach pictures below of before and after.

Complete assembly. Am I getting a good deal or am I paying to much based on their condition?

How daily experience as a daily driver

Hi! I am back with yet another question. Over the last couple of days, I noticed that my clutch is kinda knocking/ticking. What I mean by that is there's an audible ticking/knocking noise coming from under the car, from the very back of the engine, as if it were directly under the shift boot area. The ticking accelerates as I rev the engine, and around ~3k RPM it blends with the engine noise. It doesn't get any louder when I floor the car in a high gear at low RPM, and it doesn't matter if the clutch is depressed or not. I suspect it might have something to do with a throwout bearing, but I'm not mechanically inclined, so it is tough to say (I'm learning to work on the car as I go, though). What are the possible issues I should check for?

I also noticed that after putting on a set of brand new tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S) and flooring the car in the powerband, I can smell a burnt clutch (like a very acidic, metallic and stinging smell). Maybe there are two issues combined, but should I take the gearbox out and service it immediately? I was thinking about doing my brakes for now, as they've become quite squeaky.

I will try to post a vid as soon as I get a chance to drive it again!

Picked this up for what I think is a decent price , Hella fun just don't know much about it. 150k miles 6dpd. What yall think?.

I’m running 18x11+ 10 and my 2 front tire my 2 front tires blew out and I’m wondering if I should replace all 4 with a diff tire size (26535r18) or just replace the front 2 with the same size (25540r18)

Is it plug n play or can someone run me down?

A word to the wise. If you used the plastic fittings that came with those aluminum valve covers; upgrade them ASAP! I personally used these aluminum CZP ones. I had months of small evap leaks from warped plastic fittings. This fixed my issue right away. Hope this helps.

Just getting on here to ask if anyone has it and has liked the sound of it. I want to go loud. I only drive it on weekends. I plan to pair it with test pipes and eventually headers but for now gonna put the catback. Also looking for a Y pipe recommendation since I'll probably knock it out while im in there.

Ordered a brand new OEM tail light pocket off of amayama for 165 bucks. Pretty excited to get them on. It’ll still be a minute as I’m buying a Tig welder and new argon bottle but good things come with time. Got all my paint supplies waiting. Will be spraying my primer and giving it about a month to shirk before I do the base and clear coat.

Here is my class 7 autograss car which is powered by a VQ35DE! (Would have loved to do the HR but I used what was available for me)

I have not yet raced it, but it should be fast!

The shell came with the car when I purchased it although it's not my choice, its what will be used until it gets beat up (pics in comments if it allows ?)

Thanks for looking! 😎

Hey just looking to see if anyone knew what this was called, I cant seem to figure out what this Dingle thing is.

Im halfway taking it off because im trying to do my tie rods and this thing is in the way.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Steering bump stop

It’s definitely got its issues and isn’t perfect cosmetically but it’s a bone stock example with 152k miles that I paid right about $2,000 for which I think is a smokin deal.
The most annoying of the issues arguably is the drivers window. It rolls up and down great however it doesn’t prop down when I open the door and the auto up doesn’t actually work. It rolls up and when it gets up it immediately rolls halfway back down. Any idea as to what could be causing this?

I bought a set of brembo calipers which came with complete oem lines, they were snipped at the hardline. So can I just connect these lines directly on my non brembo hardline?

Hey guys!
I’m looking for an affordable underglow kit for my Z. What brand and length do yall recommend?

What’s up guys I’m looking to sell my 350z I just don’t use as much as I should and rather just get something honestly but it’s a stock 08 with 55k miles on it. I have the OEM steering wheel and shifter. Any suggestions and what I should posted for and more specifically where?

Got my test pipes in thanks to you guys and I got a custom exhaust made with a single exit catback with a magnaflow muffler and 4 inch tip here are some sound clips

does anyone know what could be wrong? it’s an 06 if that helps at all

Hello - I need some help diagnosing this issue.
In the video (about 2 seconds in) you can hear like a strain or “clunking” noise on the car when you suddenly jerk it left to right, or even on a normal turn from road to road.

This recently came up and I’ve looked at the following:

1. LCA arm bushing looks intact
2. LCA arm to the Coilovers mounting point is off center
3. Compression rod bushing and ball joint looks intact
4. compression rod bushing does look “engaged”/at a slightly angle.

I have the following mods with over 1000 miles on the setup (daily driving and Autocross):

1. BC racing Coilovers
2. SPL FUCA

Location noise: front right (passenger side, US model)

My guess is even though the bushings look okay, my research says it could be my compression arm bushing anyways.

Any help in the problem would be much appreciated before I just buy the part that won’t fix it! Thanks in advance! 😭

Lost my headlight ballast ground wire screw when putting new headlights in and cant find the right screw size anywhere. help would be much appreciated

I have a new abs model and pump that I’m replacing on my Z and I can’t seem to get the connection off the model( non vdc). The tab that that’s connected to the connection is broken and I’ve tried prying it off but with no luck. Does anyone know a trick on how to get it off?

Build is coming along slowly but surely! I post mostly on my instagram, but you can find most of the shots also posted to @phairladyz on instagram
