Lower front Ball-Joint
yes, that's the one we're talking about... see the link I posted...

Lower front Ball-Joint
simple answer is NO but that will depend on how mechanical you are.... not really that hard a job for someone with the tools, however the ball joint is in tight and will require some force to get it out.. let the search option be your friend.. see here: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?152679-Lower-Arm-Ball-Joint-Bush&highlight=front+ball-joint

Stalling after hard acceralation
what have you done so far to diagnose it?

Vibration at 40mph
the standard wheels are designed to fit the hub snug so you don't need spigot rings (unless as stated above spacers have been used to bring the wheels out). so Lee, it it would seem that isn't the cause...... however it might have just been that the wheels needed balancing. Anyway, irrespective of that, once you put non OEM wheels on you should used them (or hub-centric spacers) to take up any slack. time to check the gearbox mount and think about a single piece prop as well as checking all the bushing and links.

Vibration at 40mph
So it looks like the possible causes are: propshaft rubber housing (has become hard) missing or ill fitting spigot rings collapsed gearbox mount and the solutions: one piece prop shaft or replaced rubber (not cheap or quick to fit) hubcentric spacers (about £70 a pair but cheaper than a prop and easy to fit) new gearbox mount (cheap but not quick to fit either) none of these are easy to test… So I guess it’s going to have to be a take your pic and work your way along.. Might even be a combination of them.. Also make sure your track rod ends, torsion bar and all other bushing is tight. Best of luck.

Rythmic vibration
LOL.. the truth is I don't know.. :) but I do know that since the issue is just very slight it is most likely something "not very wrong". I can't say I've heard of that issue before and since you don't have a Conzult (nisture or whatever) readout on the car, it's hard to point to anything in particular. So checking all those things will ensure that they are not the cause (and again, worth doing anyway, that will keep you ahead of any related issues). there may be someone who has had that exact same issue and found the exact cause... but unless you do the checks and fixes one by one and then drive the car again it's hard to tell what exactly fixed it. the stuff I've posted is the best first point of action as it cost little... and I know only too well that id you chase a problem by replacing comments it will cost you a packet. :)

Rythmic vibration
Ah, I see…. Well to me it sounds like something no too bad and may just be something simple like a bad connection or similar. I would start with checking all the electrical connections in the engine bay (including the batter) hake sure they aren’t loose or corrodes. Disconnecting some of them is a bit of a pain but worth it if they are at fault. Be careful and take your time as the metal clips are a bit fiddly, if you are too rough you could damage connectors and that isn’t any help. Make sure you check the MAF, CAS, PTU & TPS connectors. (I’d be going straight for the CAS first). Check the air filter is clean and make sure your plugs are good. Check fuel filter and if you can fuel pressure. Check for leaks on the fuel rail. Make sure the TPS is calibrated right and check the timing with a timing light. The Throttle Bodies can also be checked and adjusted to be in sync. You can also check the resistance on the injectors and the coil packs. If you’re keen enough you could even take the CAS out and give it a clean (make sure you find a guide on it first, and be careful) A full diagnostic with Conzult could also help narrow down any issues (there might be someone close to you that can help with that). At the very least this work will rule out a heap of things. Best of luck
