I ordered the parts to take care of clicking noise from rear axle in August 2005. Its now 11 months later and the parts still have not arrived. A face-to-face talk with the service manager revealed the problem. The new clicking noise from rear axle service bulletin is NTB04-065b dated November 2005. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the new parts for the new service bulletin are on order.

 

wow Bob's Chevy and Nissan.....odd

 

lol...weird combo for a dealership indeed.


11 months is not normal. lack of management going on. probably run by a bunch of hillbilly mullet masters.

 

If you want the parts.... well... I got them instock...

they arent very expensive at all... :-/

and according to your VIN number you have a Base model?

Im checking back order status on the parts now to see if they have access to them...

 

those parts DO NOT show back order status with NISSAN National Parts Distribution Centers...

800-NISSAN1 if you want to complain...

 

 

Performance VS BoB's. 9PM on HBO Saturday Night!

 

Thats weird I have not noticed any clicking in the rear but lately major clicking in the front as I'm applying the brakes. I installed new OEM pads {brembo equipped} yet no change. Any ideas?

 

I think there is a TSB about something with the front A arms.

 

OE or 2 piece floating rotors? what brand?

 

sorry, it was a clunk noise when driving over bumps.

If its a CLUNK and If its not that TSB... I know alot of 350z's have the bushing worn out on this... #10

 

Stoptech 2 pc. drilled.

 

that is the normal sound for the 2 piece stop tech floating rotors...

They have these spring washers that start to make sound when they flex...

what happens...

it is a fixed Caliper mounted to the fixed spindle... The caliper holds the rotor friction ring in place... the wheel hub has some slight amount of movement in it (no matter new or used there is a little bit) and as the car gets more miles, it gets more in it, but usually not horrible... when the wheel moves the hub the hat of the rotor moves withthe hub while the outter friction ring stays in place with the caliper, and the spring washers make that noise...

you can replace the hat mount kit with new nuts, bolts, spring washers, but it will eventually get like that again...

nothing to worry about, just one of those things from having race parts...

 

Thanks Jason I've been sweating bullits there, although braking performance was still good. Major thanks.

 

Hey Jason is there any way you can find the nut that connects the sway bar to the end link number 13 on the diagram? I called performance yesterday and they said nothing in stock for the Z. I am just wondering if I can find that nut somewhere else, or from a different nissan. Can you help me out by tomorrow, I want to install new sways tomorrow.

 

nissan and chevy actually makes sense. today they announced they are trying to work out a "partnership" along with renault.

 

im out of the office for the weekend... justin will be there tomorrow...

the tech's have alot of random nuts in the back, he might beable to snag something for you that will work?

 

I'll check it out tomorrow, thanks Jason.
