have you checked for loose crap down in your quarters? I had a ton of crap in there. probably 5 or 6 wheel nuts, and the battery tie down etc.

Just got it checked today, no crap down the rear quarter panels, i doubt its exhaust... but really not sure ~

I've had so many it's not funny. A couple that come to mind in that direction are:

1. The spoilter not been bolted down tight enough... quick nip up and all good.

2. This happened to my drivers door but would posisbly happen to the passenger door to - although maybe not from the rear. This was more of a rubbing sound. I couldn't work it out becuase I couldn't work out which direction it was coming from!! Eventually after much head scratching I worked out that it was the drivers door around(back forward) when I took a corner with a little speed (like a roudnabout) and the chassis would flex, causing the door to move a little. I looked at the hook thing that sits inside the doorjam and all the rubber that goes around it was pretty much all worn away. So my being the tightass I am, just covered it all in black electrical tape, nice and thick. Worked like a charm.

that is something new, i will get that checked out , but doubt its the door. all the rattling noises even gives the impression that the suspension is too hard when it actually isnt .. very annoying

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
