seat clunk issues... solution may be coming soon
I took my car to the dealership this sunday regarding some issues about my Z.
Anyways they had some engineers from Nissan Japan looking at my car and are going to take my seat back to Japan to resolve this issue. Apparently Nissan is recognizing the seat clunk as a official issue. I'm not sure if there is a service notice on this yet, but they are going to fix it. As soon as I get more news I will get back to you fellow Z fans.

just got off the phone with the service manager and appantly there is a bar with a C-clip welded on that holds the seat cushion in place. The bar has a little freeplay and that is the clunk sound. Nissan is aware of the problem and is working on a fix

Question???
When you say clunk are you referring to the driver seat moving when cornering? I have this and was trying to find some post on this. It's just feels like the seat shifts when taking a corner.

Seat clunk
Count me as a new owner who has experienced the same seat feeeling and noise when I corner. I also feel Nissan could have done a better job sound proofing the rear wheelwells as it sounds like your in a drum when the sand on the road kicks up. You southern guys may not notice it as much but once we sand the roads for snow it is apparent.
My third Z (72, 85) and I love it!!!!
Silverstone Performance 6MT, guards, kick plates, mats, 18 rims traction sys. and clear bra on it's way.

as far as the wheel wells go try reading this thread
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=12603
you can also do it yourself and dynamat the well area.... for about $150 you can buy dynamat on the web.... this will be enough to do the entire car. Or you can buy dynamatish stuff on ebay..... much cheaper, a little heavier but it will still work
