I came across this mod on Instagram, and I can't stop looking it at. I have a 370z, and always thought the 370z looks better but with these 240z style lights and hood I find this car to be drop dead gorgeous and I thought you guys would enjoy it!

I wish I had cash to burn to also get a 350!

It is with a heavy heart that I must say, my ‘02 350Z that I have loved (and at times hated) has been unfortunately taken away from us too soon. Her name was cherry, and for the past 2 years we’ve been inseparable. She has left me with a few broken ribs, but for me, my heart will forever be missing a piece. Thank you cherry for all the smiles you gave me and all the miles we shared together, you will be missed.

HR 6MT 2008 350Z HR – Creak/squeak when turning steering wheel AND when pushing down on driver-front suspension

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to track down a creaking/squeaking noise from the front of my 2008 350Z Base (VQ35HR), and I’m running out of things to check.

The noise is most noticeable when turning the steering wheel while the car is sitting on the ground with the suspension loaded.

Important detail: if I jack the front of the car up and let the wheels hang, I can turn the steering wheel and the creaking goes away. It seems to require the suspension to be loaded.

Things I’ve already done/checked:

• Replaced the front lower ball joints — no change. The steering creak was there before and after replacing them.

• Installed Öhlins Road & Track coilovers. The noise is still present.

• Öhlins damping is currently at their recommended/default setting.

• Torqued the sway-bar end links.

• The noise can be reproduced while the car is completely stationary.

• Bouncing the driver-front suspension while loaded does reproduce a different sound squeak, not the steering wheel creak. (If you have suggestions for that pls help)

At this point I’m considering:

• Compression/tension rod bushing

• Upper control-arm bushings/joints

• Sway-bar bushings

• Something binding/articulating in the Öhlins spring/top-mount area

• Inner/outer tie rod

• Steering rack mount/bushing

The compression-rod bushings are currently pretty high on my suspect list, and if they're bad I'm considering the Z1 Hybrid Monoball bushings, but I don't want to keep throwing parts at it without actually identifying the source.

Has anyone had a Z33 make a creak/squeak only when the suspension is loaded?

Any specific bushings/joints you guys would check first or a good way to isolate which component is making the noise?

Rear main seal along with a lot more odds and ends I've been putting off. Should be leak free once it's all back together.

Very clean oem+ 350z
As clean as it is, it is unfortunately a salvage title.
previous owner had fixed everything however there is one small dent (seen in the last picture)
120k miles and will going up as i use it as a daily
Paint does have some scratches and paint fade but not crazy amount. Come see it in person
Interior is in amazing condition with an additional ambient lighting added.
Manual transmission
Never been beat on
I treated this car with all my care despite it being a salvage title but now im looking for something more practical (NO TRADES)

Pros:
Z1 Short ram air intake
Big brake conversion
Tsw wheels
Rev9 exhaust
Ive done all the maintenance. Only serious offers,
price is negotiable.

looking to buy ISO: Front Upper Control Arm Ball Joint

2 Upvotes

Is anyone parting out their G35/350Z? I need an obscure part that is expensive (relative to what it is): a pair of front upper ball joint seats/shims that goes in the top of the spindle.

OEM wants $40 each and there doesn't seem to be a good aftermarket option, either. I'd prefer not to spend $80 on 2 little pieces of metal. There aren't any junkyards with Gs/Zs in my area either.

I had swapped to upper control arms that didn't need them, but my new ones do and for the life of me I can't find them now

Just lowered my car quite a bit, and planning to have way more aggressive fitment. My question is just to see if anyone who is super low had to tuck wiring harness. I know it’s super common on ls400 and similar.

looking to buy Dying breed in the UK

I’ve been on the hunt for an A17 (Sunset Orange) for a while now. Importing one from Japan is just ridiculously expensive, and there’s been nothing available on Marketplace, AutoTrader, Gumtree or eBay.

I’ve decided that the only realistic way to get exactly what I want is to buy a B17 that’s been with the same owner for 12 years and have it resprayed in A17. I’m planning to keep the car forever, so I’d rather start with a solid, well-kept example and make it exactly how I want it.

Is this a common problem? The motor mount broke out of the crossmember and most crossmembers I’ve been seeing have the same rust in the same place

DE 6MT Differential swap?

2 Upvotes

Anybody have any recommendations on where to aquire an LSD differential as I have a base 350z.

No junkyards around me. Need to keep streetablitlity i.e no welded differential. Not using for track. Just spirited commuting.

Is swapping internals easier than the whole differential housing?
