^^ CVT was only available on the 350GT. I would say it sounds more like an electronic/TCU issue causing it to select 3rd instead of 1st from a standing start. probably best to start by getting the TCU codes read.

^^ agreed, you could probably buy the real double din facia/ac conrols, and a basic double din HU for that money. However, as to the OP's original question.. yes, it should work ok.

^^ agreed.. I don't think the cover is separate.. it's all part of the airbag.

Tyre sidewall height of a 235/45 is 105.75mm. The sidewall height of a 235/40 is 94mm. Overall tyre diameter changes by 23.5mm but radius only differs by 11.75mm (axel to tyre edge) which is the amount the axel will be closer to the road.

Actually only about 11-12mm but still lower than stock.

Usually resetting is necessary on any windows that have the 'auto' up/down feature.. so only the drivers side should need resetting..

Thanks.. I have been getting sick of cleaning small leaves out of the brake/clutch master cylinder area.

I thought that stuff was only designed for interior parts? It might not cope too well with the weather. There is always vinal wrap, but I think that looks hideous too..

Because??? Many people have done this and recommend it.. lowers by about 25mm without sacrificing too much ride quality.

I rarely scrape in a stock sedan.. with the exception the front bar on gutters or those 'bump stops' when parking.. the front of the car is quite low, but since the front wheels are so far forward it is rarely an issue on driveways or speed bumps. Currently looking for a set of 350Z springs and shocks.. that might make scraping more of an issue...

Should be a straight bulb swap, as long as they are D2R..

^^ yep, did those tests too on my J30 before and after installing a grounding kit, couldn't notice any difference on the signals from the CAS, AFM (MAF), Speed sensor, TPS, or on the Transmission Revolution sensor. But my factory grounds were clean and in good shape. Although I used a Fluke Scopemeter.. haven't seen a working CRO in a few years now. (unless you are using the term generically.. not really meaning Cathode Ray..). I guess Nissan could have gone backwards with their wiring quality over the last 15+ years.. but as vimana said, sensors don't need anything near the size of grounds compared to those requried by high current devices like starters, AC compressor clutches and ignition coils, and they all seem to work ok.

^^ that is true for cars that only have 1 cam/crank sensor.

I am sure there was a write up on g35driver about spring ride heights, spring rates and possibly markings (dots), I don't have a link though.. sorry.

^^ this is pretty much the reason I installed one on my J30 years ago, many people clamied significant improvements, and I figured for a few $$ (I made my own too and is was much less than $50), it is worth the experiement..

You will just need one that has the correct antenna connector for your car, other than that, there is nothing specific to the V35 about them. I have my old one somewhere in my garage cupboard at home which I removed when I fited the G35 HU. I will see if I can find it.

Agreed. I am not trying to point the finger at anyone or insult anyone. But sometimes it can be hard to separate the placebo effect from actual benefits on issues like this. For example, I have had people swear that a strut tower brace has reduced body roll, even though it is impossible for a strut tower brace to do such a thing.. I even have a picture of a newspaper artice with someone claiming a transmission cooler has improved engine power by about 10%.. Personally I can't technically understand how a grounding kit can possibly do anything on a car with good factory connections and ground points, but at the same time, someone may see real benefits from a kit, quite possibly due to an existing, but unknown, fault with their wiring. At the end of the day, people are going to add these kits anyway and many are going to claim benefits. so it isn't really worth the battle..

I tend to agree. I see grounding kits as an opportunity for a company to make some money off people who don't want to clean their factory ground points. I put a kit on my J30 Maxima many years ago, it did absolutely nothing. As for the V35/36, there has been differing opinions, some say it made no noticeable difference, others say it only sharpened the auto shifts. Either way, I have an 6MT and my technical background tells me not to bother with a grounding kit. You really don't need an intimate knowledge of every car to make a technical determination on a product like this.

Not sure about the V coupe, but the 350Z springs are lower than the standard sedan springs, and slightly stiffer. There was one model of Z that had very stiff springs. Not sure which model, but I am sure someone will jump in and fill you in.

^^ only S1s came with Brembos, S2 6MT had standard brakes.

The mechanical side should be straight forward (meaning, like any other auto-manual swap), you just need all the parts. You might run into issues with the auto ECU, some of them need to be able to talk to the TCU, so you may need to leave that in place. I have also heard of idle issues with these sorts of swaps. Idealy you should swap in a Manual ECU too, but this might need a harness change.. but if a can of worms. Safest option (and possibly cheaper) is to sell your car and buy a 6MT version.

Personally I would unplug the sensor first, that way you can be sure the ECU ignores the sensor, and you don't run the risk of the risk of the ECU acting on incorrect signals from the faulty sensor. And as Scott said, drive it gently until you get the sensor replaced.

I think they are mostly LEDs

Red.. it looks nice without shouting 'look at me'.. After all, do you want your brake calipers to be the first thing everyone notices? Especially on a black car..

I thought the point of the thread was the rarest factory/genuine part? Otherwise it is kind of pointless.. someone could custom make something for their V and call it 'the rarest part'
