The Factory Service Manual contains literally everything you need to know about technical problems, and indicates solutions for them. It's what the techs at Nissan use to diagnose and fix the cars.

Product announcement Garage4413 pad knockback reduction bracket: $70 off first 5 orders

Post image
18 Upvotes

MANUFACTUER: ガレージ4413
VENDOR: ADOPT Motorsports
MSRP: $770 USD
-10%: $700
PURCHASE LINK: HERE

running a $70 discount on these for the first five orders.

these are by far the most in demand part in Garage4413's catalog. Yoshihisha-san developed the bracket to remove what he feels is excessive deflection in the front knuckle hub mounts, especially under heavy braking and cornering loads. this also helps mitigate hub/bearing lifetime issues by reducing total deflection of the wheel side mount.

made from a chunk of billet 6061, these bolt onto the knuckle's rear side and are compatible with aftermarket brake calipers (such as mine).

Garage4413 parts are pricey, but everything he makes has been proven in time attack and endurance racing in some of the hardest conditions Z33 still race in.

Revup 6MT Clutch not bleeding?

• Upvotes

Recently did a clutch kit, flywheel, billet slave, oem master cylinder, I can not get the clutch to bleed, I have tried gravity bleeding, pressure bleeding, the pump method and still will only return half way. If I delete the clutch dampener and make it a straight line all the way through will that help?

i have a 2004 350z and while i’m driving it keeps shutting off it happened like 5 times in a row yesterday i think it’s the cam sensors and crank sensor because i’ve never replaced them yet im going to this weekend hopefully it fixes the car shutting off randomly, but this red light above my dash stayed on solid red while driving is that normal?

DE 6MT Clutch bleeding

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Picked up this car a few months ago (03 de) and finally got around to fixing the clutch. The previous owner said it has a z1 clutch kit in it and he put a new master and slave. I replaced the clutch hard lines and delay valve with a steel braided line.

Spent an hour just bleeding it last night and finally got clear fluid no bubbles coming out. Pedal feels good, slave has this much travel. Barely goes into gear only after I pump the pedal a few times. No leaks. I’ve adjusted the master cyl rod that connects to the pedal to no avail. I know these can be difficult when it comes to bleeding the clutch but, what am I missing here?

now carrying Garage4413, who've raced Z33 for almost 20 years in circuit and endurance series, like IDLER's Z-Expert one make championship.

by far the highest spec parts for the Z33 in any circuit context.

ADOPT is the only importer of Garage4413 products in the US.

their knuckle reinforcement bracket improves turn-in and reduces pad knockback, by preventing distortion of the upright during full braking or under heavy cornering loads.

Write-up VQ35DE reliability

5 Upvotes

I’ve heard from many in this community that the VQ35DE is bulletproof and I didn’t know the extent to which that was true until I realize my car has been running a 3 inch cold air intake, headers, HFC, and Stillen dual exhaust for years without a tune. I had recently gotten a tune and the car was running over 30% lean. I’ve driven this car pretty hard prior to the tune and I’m honestly surprised it’s survived the beating I put on it. I got this car when I was 18 before I realized the important of on time oil changes so I will admit I was neglectful on them. Did it every like 6k miles☠️

How this engine is still running perfectly is beyond me🤣

Product announcement Question about my Z

2 Upvotes

I have a blue 2004 350z with 115k miles …… 6 speed …. All stock ….. I just spent 700 dollars to replace the spark plugs and the radiator and the intake and the coils ……… it has a plastic bra on it from when I bought it 14 years ago …… and needs work done on the hood and trunk due to clear coat fading off …… it’s in good condition outside of this …… what would it be worth ? I still drive it once a week just because I love the 6 speed feel, but I don’t want to put the money or work into getting it fixed and being what it should be

DE 6MT Valve cover leak? DE nonrev up

Ripping engine apart (new to me car) lots of grime build up on pass side of engine, all over top and around alternator and side of engine and drips to the ground. Ripping apart due to head gasket. Guy didn’t tighten hardly anything let alone torquing, so could be that lol.

Not sure yet what’s causing it for sure yet but curious if anyone else has had something similar to get a better idea. As I’m digging into it when I have time.

TIA

DE 6MT LS swap advice?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, this is for the ones with an ls swap 350.

After a long time of planning to get around to it, ive decided that soon ill be buying all the stuff to do the LS3 engine swap I've wanted to do for years now. I don't have a ton of experience, but I have done some involved repairs on vehicles before. Never anything of this scale though.

I have an 03 350z, so im ordering a cd009 transmission, a 2012 LS3 out of a corvette, and I think I might go with the sikky stage 3 conversion kit.

I have my dad who has a ton of tools, and decades of mechanical experience, but he will mostly be lending me tools, or talking to me over the phone, and a friend who says he knows how, and wants to be there helping me, but idk how much he really knows.

I guess my question is does anyone have any tips? Things I should look out for, or things maybe you wish you knew/considered before jumping into doing the swap? I decided to do it myself as a challenge, and a way to save like 8 grand on a mechanic doing it for me, lol.
