female driver. the boys tell me they’re “rare”

Hey guys, I just wanted to make an update on the post I made last fall about an issue I had. Maybe it could help somebody troubleshoot this kind of problem.

The symptoms were:

-Short but severe rattle when the car was sitting for more than an hour

-P0024 dtc for « advanced timing exhaust b2 (driver’s side)

-Also had a weird intermittent issue with the idle that would climb up to 1.5k rpm randomly and stay there when sitting in trafic but return to normal if I turned off the car and back on.

I ended up replacing both VVT gears in the end and now the dtc hasn’t come back in about 500km and most importantly no rattle.

Made this post because I couldn’t find information about VVT gears going bad on the vq, just found videos on Toyotas and Hondas.

So if you know your tensioners are good the rattle may be caused by the gears having gone bad.

I bought both gears #VTG0024 on amazon but they are genuine Hitachi ones for about 400$CAD each shipped to QC.

Complete assembly. Am I getting a good deal or am I paying to much based on their condition?

Hey guys!
I’m looking for an affordable underglow kit for my Z. What brand and length do yall recommend?

Hello everyone I just wanted to add this here if maybe I can help someone who comes across a similar issue. I had this code off and on for about a month now I thought I looked everywhere. I smoke tested my vacuum lines and everything and never found any issues. I took it to a shop which basically told me they didn't know but it could be because my valve covers were leaking into my spark plug tubes (which they were). A valve cover job later the issue was still there. I gave it one last effort and was looking around on my header which is where the crack would have to be. And wow there it was. I had a crack right before my first O2 sensor. I took it off and had it welded. I will be installing within the next couple days. To confirm if that was the issue. I highly suspect it was. So expect an update soon. I'll attach pictures below of before and after.

I’m running 18x11+ 10 and my 2 front tire my 2 front tires blew out and I’m wondering if I should replace all 4 with a diff tire size (26535r18) or just replace the front 2 with the same size (25540r18)

Picked this up for what I think is a decent price , Hella fun just don't know much about it. 150k miles 6dpd. What yall think?.

Just getting on here to ask if anyone has it and has liked the sound of it. I want to go loud. I only drive it on weekends. I plan to pair it with test pipes and eventually headers but for now gonna put the catback. Also looking for a Y pipe recommendation since I'll probably knock it out while im in there.

Hey just looking to see if anyone knew what this was called, I cant seem to figure out what this Dingle thing is.

Im halfway taking it off because im trying to do my tie rods and this thing is in the way.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Steering bump stop

I bought a set of brembo calipers which came with complete oem lines, they were snipped at the hardline. So can I just connect these lines directly on my non brembo hardline?

It’s definitely got its issues and isn’t perfect cosmetically but it’s a bone stock example with 152k miles that I paid right about $2,000 for which I think is a smokin deal.
The most annoying of the issues arguably is the drivers window. It rolls up and down great however it doesn’t prop down when I open the door and the auto up doesn’t actually work. It rolls up and when it gets up it immediately rolls halfway back down. Any idea as to what could be causing this?

What’s up guys I’m looking to sell my 350z I just don’t use as much as I should and rather just get something honestly but it’s a stock 08 with 55k miles on it. I have the OEM steering wheel and shifter. Any suggestions and what I should posted for and more specifically where?

Hello - I need some help diagnosing this issue.
In the video (about 2 seconds in) you can hear like a strain or “clunking” noise on the car when you suddenly jerk it left to right, or even on a normal turn from road to road.

This recently came up and I’ve looked at the following:

1. LCA arm bushing looks intact
2. LCA arm to the Coilovers mounting point is off center
3. Compression rod bushing and ball joint looks intact
4. compression rod bushing does look “engaged”/at a slightly angle.

I have the following mods with over 1000 miles on the setup (daily driving and Autocross):

1. BC racing Coilovers
2. SPL FUCA

Location noise: front right (passenger side, US model)

My guess is even though the bushings look okay, my research says it could be my compression arm bushing anyways.

Any help in the problem would be much appreciated before I just buy the part that won’t fix it! Thanks in advance! 😭

Got my test pipes in thanks to you guys and I got a custom exhaust made with a single exit catback with a magnaflow muffler and 4 inch tip here are some sound clips
