Got girly wrists, but hench forearms. If I at least know it's possible I'll give it a go. Good shout on the string.

My AC belt is looking a little worn and was wondering if it's possible to replace it without having to jack the car and remove the under-engine splashguard? From what I understand I'll need to remove the larger aux belt first to get at the AC belt, but can't work out if I can get in from above and all the guides say to go from below. I know it might be more of a ballache and take longer, but I'd prefer to do it that way if possible. I've heard of people managing it on a HR, but that's a little different as I have an 07 Rev-Up DE. Anyone got any experience or can provide some insight? Cheers ~Strudul

Cheers. Still under warranty and within 30 days of purchase, so I'm not too worried. Taking it in for the garage to have a look at on Thurs, just hoping to get an idea of what it could be.

Hey Car has developed a noise when the clutch is up (foot off the pedal). See video: Happens in any gear (inc neutral), but the noise disappears if I press the clutch or throttle. It's intermittent, mainly happening when I first start the car and going away after a bit of use. Earlier it actually made a worse noise when I pressed the clutch. Some brief Googling would suggest the clutch release bearing has gone, but was looking for a 2nd opinion or if anyone has any other ideas about what the cause could be. Cheers ~Strudul

Shame, cos those sequentials look amazing.

Just went for a play and it had significantly improved and wasn't popping (like just after I fixed it), but then it started to degrade again. Could it be that something is overheating?

So, the old post below still applies (and I'm still looking for a solution for that), but things are getting worse. Along with the popping, the sub seems to cut out sometimes for an indefinite time (which does seem to be a known issue). I only notice this happen while the car is running, however if I turn the key back 1 notch (so the car is off, but the stereo stays on), the sub comes back. If I then start the car, I lose the sub again. Any ideas why this would happen? I did notice the Voltmeter is reading 14-15V. Dunno if this has any significance though? OLD POST:

Same checks as for any other car, however, having just bought mine, the 2 problems I've got are: 1) The Bose sub cutting out / popping 2) 2nd and 6th gear are "crunchy" and grind a bit Bose sub is an easy £3 fix which I'm currently waiting on a replacement part for so I can get it sorted. 2nd / 6th grinding I'm not too sure on, I read some stuff saying it's common, but I dunno how much of an issue it is.

Sounds like a plan. (Until i have to tell my insurer and they dick me)

Added pics to OP.

That Rolls though...

Welcome, hopefully see you about Wakey.

Hey Just bought myself a 350Z, picking it up this Tuesday. Cya round Wakefield and Huds Edit: Pics
