180 wanabe

Got dish?

dam that sucks man I how hot is hot? my air con is working fine with the outside temp @ 37deg some days accoring to the car in Townsville

"This device comes complete with the correct chip already installed, ready for programming by your local dealer or locksmith. Your car is hooked up to a small, hand-held computer, and in seconds the process is complete" Now the thing that gets me if you havent allready read the spare key thread, is that its saying your car gets reprogrammed not the key? which i guess then makes your origonal key not work? Im interested as I need to get another key and I now have my BCM pin thanks to TomR33

i was sure they were 80? why is it that my fuel gage has 80 up the top? BTW i have a nismo dash

wish there was a race track up here in Townsville, even though mines an auto id still love to take it to a sprint session

well then come on guys need some more people to take their v35 to the strip and post up their times

there was a website which listed what models from what brand were safe to use on E10 petrol from what i remember all nissans from 2003+ are safe to use with e10

my old 180sx used to throw out 308rwkw and was good for a 12.2 second pass on street tyres down the quarter But after getting my Kawasaki ninja zx636 which stock std with my crappy riding pulled a 11.7 it dawned on me what I had been missing out on and I kind of felt a bit pissed off I had spent so much money on the 180sx V35 for pimping ZX636 for the kind of rush that only illegal drugs could come close to no disrespect to the CBR250RR as its a great bike if your licence wont let u get a bigger one but it would be like driving a stock XT falcon compared to R35GTR being a 600 or 1L bike

Take my advice If you just want to go fast rather than spending 10k on a turbo or SC kit + labour tune etc Buy a 2nd hand sports bike! EG R1 ZX10 or one of the 600's more than enough to make you glad the V35 is so refined and fine the way it is well in my opinion

Now that I think about it thanks to BLISTIC's dyno Id say that everything seems pretty normal Say the auto has a 20% deivetrain loss and the 6 speed has 15% loss "i know that there is no exact % figure with drivetrain loss" a 6 speed with @ 209kw @ the fly with 15% loss would = 177.65rwkw then an auto with 213 @ the fly thanks to a catback system @ 20% loss would = 170rwkw

I dont think that the cat back adds a heap to power to the VQ35 after all from what iv read the stock one is pretty free flowing although a bit heave in the weight department. Its not like a turbo engine where a better flowing zhust = less back pressure = more boost = more power

Well after picking up a somewhat massive bill to get my POS AU falcon sorted after a mate of mine decided it would be a good idea to drive it on a flooded road I asked the workshop if they had ever had a V35 on their dyno before Lucky for me they had not and were curious as to what a somewhat stock one such as mine would do anyhow here it is 03 Auto stock std except for a nismo cat back 170rwkw Guess i cant complain being an auto with just a cat back one thing that freaked me out is when I got back in the car after it had come off the dyno after a few runs was my esp ABS and slip light were stuck on!!!! I turned the car off and on a couple of times and they would not go out. I then noticed that the car was in Snow mode and after flicking it back to the normal middle position and re starting it everything went back to normal. I wonder if it was doing all its runs in snow mode? which seems to make the accellorator somewhat unresponsive? and for shits and giggles I have also posted my AU POS LPG AUTO with 642,390kms on the clock not 64,239kms like the dyno print out says over half a million clicks and still going somewhat

I sware mine was an open diff to but a mate who was watching me said that both where spining when I was on the burnout pad maybe @ a certin speed/rpm both wheels will just engage

just checked out some of the vids from the guy who made all the DIY service videos Where do you get the crushable copper washers? are they a pretty regular thing to pick up from repco/super cheep? is there a particular size? not to self book car in with nissan when I need to change the plugs..... what a funkround of a job all the crap that has to be removed and then re-installed changing the plugs on my SR was so easy....

So how much lighter is an auto 350z? I thought auto V35s would be around 1600kgs particularly premium models with all the extra bells and wistles

what times do people normaly get out of a stock auto v35 anyway?

Hmm well ill keep my eyes out for a good priced pair of 17" rims to throw on the back for next time I wouldn't have to worry about the fronts however to get any benifit just the rears right?

Well I decided that I had nothing better to do tonight so I took the V35 to the drags best pass was a 14.546 @ 97.4 MPH with a .789 reaction and a 2.32 60ft time outside temp according to the car was 31deg I discovered that traction control sucks and = a 15 sec time I also discovered that sequential shift works best for quick runs and that even though my red line is 6500 its happy to go to 7000 and still not hit the limiter ... :S didn’t rev it out that far again since I dont want to do any damage I thought my car being an auto had an open diff, turns out its happy to spin both wheels Car still managed to spin some of 1st gear with 275 35 r 19s on the back All in all im pretty happy with a 14.5 considering the car is a comfy leather arm chair compared to my old 180sx Car was loaded with a 3/4 full petrol tank, spare wheel, jack and all the other stuff normaly in the car From what I can tell car is stock apart from the Nismo cat back

Anyone use the Nulon synthetic oils?

Cheers dude, Are people on here going mineral or syntheric in their cars? guess it depends on how big ur wallet is feeling @ the time?

Hi guys wondering what would be some of the better oils to stick in the VQ35 when i do a service on it in the future I live in Townsville and its freaking hot up here... as in the car will say its 33deg outside @ 8:30 in the morning so Im wondering about what viscosity I should go with Car currently has 56xxxxK's on it and I have no idea what oil was put in it during compliance :S "hopefully not home brand" or if the oil was even changed @ all By the way where the hell is the oil filter! and how the hell do you get to it? Theres next to no room in the V35s engine bay compared to my old SR20 180sx or my AU L6 falcon!!!

I have noticed on my car that even though the windows are fully up, when you close the door they move up a tiny bit more about 1 cm or so i guess this is done to ensure a tighter seal betwean the doors/windows and the outside confused me the 1st couple of time i heard it go outside the car open and close the door and u will see what i am talking about

Argh.... I hate it when I have to play with eletrical things on cars :S ill have a go on my next day off next week to disconect it

hmm since were on the topic of rims anyone know what the largest size offered for a V35 was? Im sure iv read somewhere that in the US G35s had the option on a 19 x 8.5" rim Im wondering because im pretty sure the rims on my car are 19 x 11" ..... and I dont want to upset my insurance company If there def was a 8.5" wide rim then ill be fine because QLD transport says that max width can be 1.3 times the width of the largest stock rim size wich would = 11.05"

Anyone know if the delaer fitted alarm system is activated/disarmed by the BCM code that would be put in the new key? or is that something different?
