Most mechanics should be able to do it.

Best bet is to jump on a 350z or G35 site or look up Nissan USA TSB's for the 350z or G35 and you should be able to pull up a complete workshop process including all the parts needed.

From there most ha;f idea mechanics should be able to do it. Or there's always your local Nissan place, just don't expect them to know what a TSB is :-)

cheers guys, would prefer someone who knows and have done this before, rather than they fiddle around with my car trying to figure out wat to do...

thanks bobby for the link, looks like the bearing n axle joint need to be replaced, i thought a simple lubrication on the joint would get rid of the sound.

No worries, It's funny though that you simply replace the same parts. I'd be a bit worried about it doing the same thing again. Unless they're now using different bearings or something.

Hey guys just noticed a click coming from the back of the car when I take off from standstill quickly and if I then back off the gas suddenly if the car is under load. Only just noticed it because I normaly have my windows up and the air con on + the nismo cat back make its hard to hear things going on outside

dosent sound too bad, If i leave this for a while is anything bad going to happen?

Relax people i investigated this noise a long time ago however i haven't performed the procedure on my car yet, next service.

Replacement of parts is not necessary other that the bolts and washers. Give this to your mechanic to prevent him from stuffing around. All that needs to be done is have the axle retorqued and greased where shown on the diagram.

I have one other question to ask which has nothing to do with the topic however i think it is important that everyone knows.

There is a common problem with our cars in relation to the rocker cover (other name for this is valve seat). My mechanic performed a replacement of the spark plugs and at the bottom of the tube there was evidence of oil. It was on the second bank (when you face the bonnet on the right hand side. The spark plug closest to the firewall had the leak. Has anyone noticed this yet?

Apparently the rocker cover has to be replaced, but the good thing is it is something that doesn't have to be done asap as you do not lose tonnes of oil only a very little bit. Personally im going to wait till it gets worse and have my mechanic monitor it on every service.

Cheers

Yeah someone posted something about this before, "oily spark plugs" can't remember where i read it.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
