This particular noise has been bugging me for months. At first I thought it was the struts since the strut thread rings were loose so I tightened them and the sound went away. Now it's back and I think it could be the lower control arm. When I tap the control arm it makes a very similar sound...
So I've been looking at some coolers.

Unused and never installed front and rear pads. I bought them by mistake and they've been sitting in their boxes since. I had opened the rear set to check them out so that's why the plastic appears the way it does. But again, never used and brand new.
Since the "400Z" thing started on the Internet, I'd like to propose a new fake name. One that makes more sense than "idk it's 400hp and it's a Z". Honestly I'm tired of confirming people's ignorance of the nomenclature. "Hey is that your 400Z?". Ugh yeah it is...
I present to you:
The Z35...
Every time I go over a bump I hear a metallic squeaking noise, particularly from the rear. Where do I check for squeaking? The hangers? The pipe joints and clamps? Also what kind of lubricant should I use for the hanger bushing?
I think there's an account on this site that may be an AI account that reads and responds to posts. The way it writes looks like something like chatgpt or any LLM would write.
So far I've done two oil changes on my Z and haven't drained the cooler. I'm concerned with mixing fresh oil with spent oil. How do you folks drain the cooler?
I've seen various discussions about which oil to use 0w-20 or 5w-30. My question for my Z which has intakes and exhaust and I tend to drive it in manual mode a lot on the highway and sometimes on the streets, I tend to be in the upper rpm range more often. I was thinking to try a different oil...
I have the ODBLink LX and I can see some data from the car but not the air fuel ratio. Is this something that can be read with a better device or is that data not available through the OSB port?
$29.99 for an oil change when I do it myself it costs a lot more. Yet I just don't want dealer's hands on my car. Idk what it is. I know people that worked in auto shops at the dealer and they're not grimy people. Just don't want my car back at the dealer unless absolutely necessary.
I curbed another rim yesterday (stupid mistake, cut a turn to tight/short). I've seen the Rimblade protectors and some others with mixed reviews. Does anyone have experience with these and some recommendations? Other than "don't curb your rims" because that's a given but sometimes I get lucky...
The stock Potenzas served me well this past year but I'm changing the wheels and looking for new tires. What is everyone's experience and feedback of your chosen tire brand? I've been looking at the Pilot 4S but if there's a cheaper option that will perform I'm open to suggestions. Thanks...
I'm looking to get the Nismo Track Exhaust for my Z. I've seen the comparison videos and after listening to them all, the nismo sounded the best in my opinion. Does anyone here have it and what are your thoughts? Also what kind of back pressure is introduced or eliminated/reduced over stock?
I was at a wheel shop recently and someone there who has a Q50 and a VR30 said that because of the way the engine was designed blow off valves are good for the engine. Can anyone verify this?
I'm looking at the Rays Nismo 57CR wheels for my Z. Z1 recommends 19x9.5 +25 in the front and a 19x10.5 +12 in the rear but I don't know what size tire to get so there's no stretching and no rubbing on the fenders. I tried to use this site willtheyfit.com but I can't find the Performance wheel...
Has anyone replaced the steering wheel in their Z? I ordered a Nismo wheel (because reasons) and not sure how to install it. Don't want to take it to a dealer and I don't trust random auto shops.
One day I decided to top off my engine coolant. I accidentally added too much and found some of it will leak out this port on the right side of the tank when the engine is at temperature. I added a hose to allow the excess coolant to drain to the bottom of the car towards the ground instead of...
Anyone here with a stock Z know what their ride height is currently? I forgot to measure my stock ride height before installing coilovers, but now my ride height is 4.25" measured from top of rim to bottom of fender. I'd like to go down another inch but I don't have adjustable toe/camber arms...
