Most mechanics should be able to do it.

Best bet is to jump on a 350z or G35 site or look up Nissan USA TSB's for the 350z or G35 and you should be able to pull up a complete workshop process including all the parts needed.

From there most ha;f idea mechanics should be able to do it. Or there's always your local Nissan place, just don't expect them to know what a TSB is :-)

cheers guys, would prefer someone who knows and have done this before, rather than they fiddle around with my car trying to figure out wat to do...

thanks bobby for the link, looks like the bearing n axle joint need to be replaced, i thought a simple lubrication on the joint would get rid of the sound.

No worries, It's funny though that you simply replace the same parts. I'd be a bit worried about it doing the same thing again. Unless they're now using different bearings or something.

Hey guys just noticed a click coming from the back of the car when I take off from standstill quickly and if I then back off the gas suddenly if the car is under load. Only just noticed it because I normaly have my windows up and the air con on + the nismo cat back make its hard to hear things going on outside

dosent sound too bad, If i leave this for a while is anything bad going to happen?

Relax people i investigated this noise a long time ago however i haven't performed the procedure on my car yet, next service.

Replacement of parts is not necessary other that the bolts and washers. Give this to your mechanic to prevent him from stuffing around. All that needs to be done is have the axle retorqued and greased where shown on the diagram.

I have one other question to ask which has nothing to do with the topic however i think it is important that everyone knows.

There is a common problem with our cars in relation to the rocker cover (other name for this is valve seat). My mechanic performed a replacement of the spark plugs and at the bottom of the tube there was evidence of oil. It was on the second bank (when you face the bonnet on the right hand side. The spark plug closest to the firewall had the leak. Has anyone noticed this yet?

Apparently the rocker cover has to be replaced, but the good thing is it is something that doesn't have to be done asap as you do not lose tonnes of oil only a very little bit. Personally im going to wait till it gets worse and have my mechanic monitor it on every service.

Cheers

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
