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.

Take the TSB down to joshua @ Pro Concept Racing in West Ryde or to Power Play Imports @ Drummoyne

only 2 places i would trust with my car!

+1 to Josh @ Pro Concept - good bloke & knows his proffesion. My car gets milked by josh's 10 fingers.. and i say he does a top job.

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

Yeah someone posted something about this before, "oily spark plugs" can't remember where i read it.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
