My dealer re-torqued all the front end suspension fittings when I brought the car in for the first oil change. They found two loose bolts. The problem disappeared and has not come back.

 

I am having the exact same problem. Is there no TSB out for this yet? Do you guys think that simply tightening the suspension is a permanent fix?

 

There is no TSB that I know of, but I had this done in September and since then I have done 1 autox and 5 track days and no noise.

 

I was having the same issue with the clunk..they are performing the TSb as we speak......I pick it up in two hours

they also fixed the clicking seat issue.....its a new seat rail......very easy to fix....but not cheap...thank gawd for warranties

happy motoring

 

I am happy to report......MY suspension Clunk is no more.....
thanks to everyone for the help on the TSB

this forum has been , and continues to be a great help

 

That is great that this post continues to help, it is an oldie, I first posted it in September 2002, amazing it is still happening.

 

IT helped alot..........at the dealership............they just performed the TSB......and presto....no more clunk

 

Bump

 

TT

 

well, to keep adding to this post, I have had this same problem for about a year and a half. it happens rarely though. i think when i go in for my next oil change i will have to ask them about it. maybe they can fix that also.

 

but it was bothersome..

Mike,.,,,,can you tell me what you think of your Injen exhaust?....is it really alot louder than stock?......and do you notice any real gains?

TSB was issued today 7/28/04 by Nissan in regard this issue.
Was having the same problem, dealer solved it in 2 minutes after reading directions from TSB.

 

This forum can be a Godsens sometimes....as soon as I noticed the clunk, I immediately looked here for a reference.....

 

Where can I print this TSB? I'd like to bring it to my dealer when I go up there. Thanks.

Thank you! But for some reason I can't find this particular TSB on there for 2003 Zs. Can someone give me the TSB #? Thanks.

"Some of you may have seen my posts of my problems with the Palm Nissan dealership at the buy side and even though it is a thing of the past, I was apprehensive about going there but I have to say that it was a great experience, the guys there are very enthusiastic about the car and eager to fix the problem not just bandaid it, their enthusiasm with the Z is what I had hoped had been with the whole ordering process, but better late than never. I want to thank Bill Minogue (Service Director) and Joe (who did the work) for their attentiveness and help. Looking forward to seeing them only for routine maintenance or Nismo installs."

Sorry to hear about your sh*ty sales experience. Mine was the opposite. Sales guy was enthusiastic about the car , but zero satisfaction with the service dept. Sounds like you lucked out in getting a good service dept. Mine just does oil changes. Anything else your sh*t out of luck.
