I just drove my first Z, a manual N/A, F**KIN nice! was quicker than i expected but then I am used to drivin a 5 series beemer lol. One thing i did notice was a very slight whine coming from the box under acceleration should this be a worry?

 

Chris.

In all gears ? Or in 1 in particular ? It shouldnt realy whine mate, but it may not be the gearbox thats doing it.

is there any vibration or just a whine also u wern't in 4 gear at 20 mph lol

Could only just hear it in every gear

the noise can be due to a boot gator that covers the gearstick surround cracked causing noise coming up from transmission tunnel common mine did the same especially 1st gear

hellraiser - your signiture is soooo true - unfortunatly

I didn't go too far in it was amazed at the looks i was gettin, def gotta have one

Mine used to whine a bit in every gear and when i stripped the rubber surround off the base of the gear stick i found mine was not fitted properly. As it used to be an auto and was converted to manual, they hadnt sealed it all up properly and i was getting some tranny noise. Once sealed up it was ok. Just a thought - greg reminded me

there were no vibes or anything so i'll go with what you guys are saying,

 

cheers

They are awsome cars mate. No doubt about it. But they cost a fair bit once you start modding them up. But then again thats the price you pay for modding a 11 year old car. I love them myself

women dont know a good thing when they see it :headvswal

Must be a great car if your gay haha

 

Not that id know lol

it's already got hks superdragger and induction kit sounds lovely when you pull away.

I love the sound of the superdragger on the NA. If you get one and you want to really go mental, get Jun headers. Ive just had them put on, (well hard to source) and jesus christ the noise is unreal. Its like a Nascar to drive too - cant wait to see just what BHP they have added alone, as the car hits the rev limiter like a train now woohoo

doh just read you rides title 380 bhp

Its having a new engine at the moment lol !! Oil pump gave up at 135mph in 4th and destroyed the bottom end. Loads of money :(

 

Ive done most mods to it, Jun headers,Straight through stainless exhausts (decat) megan racing back boxes, Devin ECU, fuel pressure regulator, earth kit, aircon pump removal, SGP pulleys, silicone hoses, honed plenum, apexi SAFC, Blitz Race spec rad, JWT pop charger, Ram air mod from front vent,HKS plugs, 80 HP shot of nitrous, viscous fan mod. Thats all the engine mods any way. Other than that its all cosmetics really, chromed throttle bodies, fuel rails, braided fuel lines, Veilside strut brace, stainless slam panels, 18" OZ Canyon II rims, chromed plennum, fuse covers, wings west skirts, 99 spec nose, bumper and rear lights, stillen spoiler, blah blah blah. I just destroyed a stock clutch in under 600 miles too !! Bonus haha. Ive done quite a bit more too, but i keep forgetting it all - i need to do a list.

 

Oh yea, call me sad but if got full Eurolit led's too - inside and out. Some say its too much. But i say, im not some people. If you get a Zed mate - its for life, they are such a show stopper
