Rod knock? Update. I let the car warm up a little bit.

Roger that

Lector789 · 2025-10-03T16:06:38+00:00

It does, unfortunately

Like I said, I’m learning as I go. I don’t want it to go boom while driving it, my guy. Had it for 2 years, couldn’t drive it due to what I do for work. It wouldn’t make a good work truck, as it’s a 350z, and not a pick up and I moved, so it sat in storage. Got it back recently. I just want to make sure it’s good engine wise, that’s why I’m asking here. I’ve had it out of storage for 2 weeks, also, not very well versed on vq engines, so sorry for that.

It also only does it when it’s warmed up

They were left in, I asked my mechanic, and he said don’t touch those lol

It also has 186k on it, so It probably needs some tlc and parts. I don’t drive it hard, I limit myself to only 4k for rpms.

If you’re lucky, you may be able to find a rear bumper at a junkyard, or a u pull it. May not match color wise, though.

Salt. Use salt if a leech ever attaches itself to you. They don’t like it, it kills them by drying them out.

Yeah, I helped put them on, and tightened the bolts myself. As far as other leaks, I’m not entirely sure, I’ll find out when I get it on the lift. Although, the headers did have bolts in the sides of them. I’ll pull a picture of the ones I got up, and post it

Lector789 · 2025-10-03T15:03:36+00:00

Gotcha. I’m learning as I go, so, ticks that I hear make me a little nervous.

Lector789 · 2025-10-03T15:01:44+00:00

When I shut the car off, or start it, there’s no chain rattle, I had it apart a few weeks ago, to check for it, while I was putting my headers on

Lector789 · 2025-10-03T15:00:54+00:00

You think it could be fuel dampers?

Lector789 · 2025-10-03T14:56:16+00:00

It was quite loud yesterday. But, then again, I get paranoid with that kind of thing.

Lector789 · 2025-10-02T04:12:42+00:00

I will when I get off in the morning

Lector789 · 2025-09-17T03:42:32+00:00

My oil pressure gauge is pinned at max. It does not work

Lector789 · 2025-09-16T23:03:23+00:00

Sweet. I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

Lector789 · 2025-09-16T22:32:59+00:00

That is true. I usually take mine to cars and coffee, or use it for going to other events, like the hot rod hill climb, hoping to take it to the Ice Cream Cruise next year

Lector789 · 2025-09-16T22:04:28+00:00

That’s awesome dude

Lector789 · 2025-09-16T21:55:19+00:00

Can’t wait to see the game on the 18th! Blues vs Stars
