PN-Mad

Got hold of a 350Z VLSD, same as you ARX bitchs. No more jokes about Rx single spinners you ARX mofo's! (Oh, and I can go RWD in 3 seconds!!! )

OK, I'll bite. Can't give all the answers but some of them. Also notice that on my stock exhaust only the left tip is working, the right is clean. Don't worry, it opens up when you give it a boot full. the exhaust is variable and contains a pressure flap inside. Does anyone know if the skyline v35 o2 sensor can be used and also if the v35 nav unit will work in my stagea as it was missing from purchased? 1) don't know 2)the Nav function will never work as its Jap only. Buy a UBD. it would be a lot of work to get the shit in there. Oil used, how many litres to fill up? 4.8 or something like that - most of us are lazy and just dump a 5 litre bottle in. Oil filter part number? I can't be assed going downstairs and looking - just ask for something from a 03 350Z you'll get the right one. its fits a shitload of nissan cars. Spark plug number and gapping? Different people have had different experiences. Have a search on the site. Transmission fluid and capacity? Nissan Matic J, or Nulon 100% sythn seems to be the other proven performer. about 8.5 litres - remember you have to flush it not just drop the Pan, that'll only get about 4 litres. Diff fluid and capacity? Redline shockproof - about 1 L per diff I think. Use good quality cause you don't want to change it for a long time... Also would the arx shocks and springs fit my stagea? Ive got rsr springs atm and i go fishing alot so doesnt clear the dirt roads. Don't know. should have bought an ARX.... Might be the worlds only Raised Stagea! 4wd fluid and capacity how to bleed? Nissan Matic D / ???? Hope that helps you to some extent. I'll let the other guys handle the error message- I have my own thoughts but they are more experienced.

got one. Not willing to part with it tho (keeps the dog in the back!) Think from memory factory Nissan wants something like 395 for it? Take that as a bench mark.

lol at just down the road.... Jetwreck will understand. I likey my springs- you may see them if you come to NSW STAGEA MEET!!!!!!

Just found out that someone in Queensland has built a 350Z - 3.8 TT WITH a Getrag 6sp AND electromagnetic transfer case clutch... I'll be very interested in how this goes/ how he bolted the transfer up.

I guess its just the replacement as there is no rear parcel shelf to place said tissue box on...

Something arrived today.... My car has a Turbo in it Brah!

Rhodesian Ridgeback. Hes good fun. But I never thought a short hair would molt so much.

Dog Hair- like the rest of the boot. And Slobber. Have to clean that bitch THOROUGHLY before the NSW Meet....

and thats as an exchange... its another $2000 if your not supplying your own Effectively its just a fully rebuilt gearbox I guess. I'd go a V35 manual conversion running RWD before that (seeing I can't run a hydraulic transfer...)

Ok, done some digging. Looks like 600RWHP has been tried and tested on a Z33 5AT Twin Turbo Pulled from "My350Z" by GT Motorsports, a popular Tuner Stateside.

Got a call from the better half - saying she was driving with a Black Stagea with Checkers on the side...

Yeah, the piping might be a headache. It has been made to work on a V35 auto, so I'm not trail blazing. Basically 3 areas of concern (for me)- the outlet from the turbo fouling the LHS Driveshaft, piping to and from the cooler, and I think the Exhaust comes in on the same diagonal as a Z33, which means I might have to add a little/take a little to make it sit right. I'll get some photos of the relevant spots for you Scotty asap. Don't expect the kit to be fitted overnight... I pretty much bought it because it was being discontinued and I couldn't not buy it at that price Gearbox will get a service/flush, and a cooler. We'll see how that holds up, It will be running really minimal boost, as per HKS recommendations, cause I don't want a rod out the block... As for building it up, well, i'll let the wallet recover first! But If anyone finds one of those 4.2 stroker GTM motorsport FI sets that they want to give me...

One of these will be makings its way to me some time this week... HKS s/t kit Still waiting on wheels

Cleaned the MAF, Cleaned the Throttle body which was crazy filthy - you could see where the plate was pressing into the build up of gunk. Re-set the ECU, and Idle (which was 1200rpm after the TB clean!) back down to 650rpm. much smoother and pleasant to drive. Surprised I got it all work 1st go! Proceed to "test" up the Old Pac Hwy!!!

They are a 2 piston... One either side. I think the only rear option is Z33 Brembos or uprated pads/ slotted discs

Can you use the rears as well Craig? I know you have the Fronts on. Thinking about the rears too?

oh I just love Wanker move #2.... good on you for staying cool. I would have ended up explaining how I ran his bike over to a magistrate I feel

As long as its not a Legnum.... Their not welcome I'll be there, hopefully. Waving the N/A flag!

Brake sticking/installed wrong? That makes Heat + drag- might be silly suggestion, but give it a try.

bike users must not - Bicycle riders not to cause a traffic hazard The rider of a bicycle must not cause a traffic hazard by moving into the path of a driver or pedestrian.Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units. This would apply to the 2 lovely bike users that decided to ride side by side down a single lane road at 530 am in the pitch dark WHEN THE WAS A PERFECTLY GOOD BIKE LANE to be used. I ride on the road too, so I know motorists can be dicks, but some of the bike riders are just trying to make a fuss and get into an argument to appear all high and mighty. rant over. Oh, edit - I wasn't trying to flame you Dale, it was just on the topic of bikes. I agree with the bold

I should have never told you... now you have a flamin big head

why not clean and re-set the idle...? Nothing to stretch in there - its only cogs/motors/sensors afaik mine is about 750 at the moment in N or P, about 700 in D. Did the other shopping trolly (that has done 175k Kms) today, cleaned TB and MAF, good result -idles much smoother now

Stalling topic have a look in there. It will give you the procedure to re-set . see- Post #12

I think if you come from S.Africa, its called a Ellen key.... (saw it written on a S.Africans toolbox - lol) Anyways Going to strip, clean, and re-set the Throttle body this weekend. Any tips? I got the reset idle air volume instructions etc etc... anything else i should know, what to touch/ what not to touch?
